I did during pregnancy because I was useless for months. A few days at a time though, it's all about survival - TV and no guilt. caterw on "Do you feel guilty when you're sick?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-feel-guilty-when-youre-sick#post-2601949 Wed, 10 Aug 2016 15:00:29 +0000 caterw 2601949@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I really do :( I hate trapping poor DD in the house all day and letting her watch too much TV. @brownepiano: My DD says "Mommy is a sick little baby" when I don't feel well hahahahaha. She also tries to make me feel better by treating me with her doctor bag and bringing me pretend cups of tea. whiskers on "Do you feel guilty when you're sick?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-feel-guilty-when-youre-sick#post-2601946 Wed, 10 Aug 2016 14:54:19 +0000 whiskers 2601946@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Nope!

DH thinks I have some kind of super immune system and never feel ill. Yeah, right... I just know it's going to be worse if I lie down. magnoliamama42 on "Do you feel guilty when you're sick?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-feel-guilty-when-youre-sick#post-2601898 Wed, 10 Aug 2016 13:47:13 +0000 magnoliamama42 2601898@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I feel guilty more because my husband has to take on more of the housework and childcare load. But there's nothing for it - I've found that the more I rest, the faster I get better. Pushing myself just makes the illness drag out. It totally sucks, though. I hope you're feeling better soon! brownepiano on "Do you feel guilty when you're sick?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-feel-guilty-when-youre-sick#post-2601883 Wed, 10 Aug 2016 13:31:09 +0000 brownepiano 2601883@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I don't feel guilty for not playing. I usually am just frustrated that he's trying to climb over me while I'm trying to lay down. Near the end of my pregnancy DS learned to say 'mommy tired' because I was exhausted and also got a really bad head cold. Now anytime I don't want to do something he's asking me to do and I say no, he always says "mommy tired"...

Everyone deserves to rest when they don't feel well and you gotta do what you gotta do.

I've been sick for a few days now. Luckily DH was able to stay home yesterday and help, but today he had to go back to work. I'm feeling a little better but I have no energy. So the TV has become my friend and unlimited phone time for the kids. I feel bad the house is a mess and I'm not doing anything productive with the girls.
