Some of them. She's only one, so she's still allowed to be as rude as she wants. We still stick to her bedtime/wake/nap schedule very closely, and we don't do screen time (that's reserved for planes and long car trips only) but lately she has been asking to eat her meals sitting on my or DH's lap, and we'll allow that occasionally when she's really feeling crummy. And we basically let her eat whatever she wants, since we're typically just trying to keep her fed and hydrated.

I picked my son up with a fever at 11 today and since then he's watched 2 hours of paw patrol and had an ice cream cone so....yeah.

She gets more screen time and easy (less healthy) foods when I'm sick. When she is sick we try to keep things as normal as possible.

Yeah except no being mean or rude!

Ohhh yes last week DD had a bad ainus infection and was so tired from not sleeping due to her cough she had all the screen time and cuddles she wanted

He gets to have white Gatorade when he's sick and basically anything he can manage to eat (which is usually McDonald's fries??) He also gets popsicles and a lot more screentime on the couch with mama for snuggles. But we stick to his nap schedule and bedtime - he usually needs even more rest anyway.

He gets way more cartoons and more snacks vs meals when he's sick. Usually he doesn't have much appetite anyway.

Rules still apply but I'm more lenient in letting him do what he wants.

Yup- if she's sick enough to be home from daycare, we stay in jammies and have more screen time, meals are usually much less balanced, and if she's really sick and is having trouble napping, I'll rock her to sleep.

Depends on the sickness. A cold, not much changes. Stomach bug? Everything changes. Then I don't even offer food, I let them have pedialyte pops if they wants, and the oldest can play Ipad or watch shows as long as she's resting.

She just had her second run in with the tummy bug last Friday and all morning, she just watched shows and played Ipad. After nap time, she felt well enough to get up and paint, do puzzles, etc.

I'd allow more screen time since you can't do much else when sick. And ice cream for a sore throat.

We just got over a nasty cough and the answer is DEFINITELY. More screen time and juice (diluted). They can also stay in their jammies all day and I will bring them things if they (politely) ask for them when normally they would be expected to get it themselves. LO1 is also excused from feeding the dog.
