We had another cold front hit (weather went from upper 70's to 40's) and my allergies caused me to completely lose my voice... like, only a whisper. My oldest (4yr) has been very concerned about it and is trying to take care of me by giving me coffee (haha!) and has also told me that she doesn't like it when I'm so quiet. My youngest only seemed concerned because I couldn't read her a book last night.

It's been good and bad - I can't yell at DD1 when she's acting up, so it's actually forced me and her to listen more.

Have you ever completely lost your voice as parent? How long did it take to come back? Did it help you or hurt you?
