Before that we would split the day...I might leave work a little bit and D would go into work a little bit late (he works second shift). A few times when he had to be out for several days he went to my IL's house. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-watches-your-los-when-theyre-sick#post-2532057 Fri, 22 Apr 2016 09:58:34 +0000 Mama Bird 2532057@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Usually me because I can work from home. And I have a stronger immune system - when DH does this, he usually ends up really sick with whatever they have. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-watches-your-los-when-theyre-sick#post-2531941 Fri, 22 Apr 2016 08:56:01 +0000 Mamaof2 2531941@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>me </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-watches-your-los-when-theyre-sick#post-2531935 Fri, 22 Apr 2016 08:50:42 +0000 Rescuemom10 2531935@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If he is home (Not deployed) then he will stay home because he knows its all on me when he is overseas. So he likes to when he can and if he can. But majority of the time it is me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-watches-your-los-when-theyre-sick#post-2531893 Fri, 22 Apr 2016 08:05:44 +0000 T.H.O.U. 2531893@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH or myself. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-watches-your-los-when-theyre-sick#post-2531891 Fri, 22 Apr 2016 08:04:36 +0000 LovelyPlum 2531891@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@regberadaisy: oh man, you guys had a rough time of it!!! Hope your healthy now.</p> <p>If i have to teach, DD stays home with DH, who works from home. Then I watch her while he finishes up work. When we all had the stomach flu last month, my sister came up to help, because I couldn't move for 4 days. Ugh </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-watches-your-los-when-theyre-sick#post-2531877 Fri, 22 Apr 2016 07:58:53 +0000 snowjewelz 2531877@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's a toss up. Technically DH is way more flexible, but if there are things he can't get out of then I'll just take a day. Or my mom can chip in as well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-watches-your-los-when-theyre-sick#post-2531802 Fri, 22 Apr 2016 07:00:37 +0000 peachykeen 2531802@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Almost always me. DH is a teacher and I can work from home for most things. Luckily work has a policy that lets us work from home with a sick kid as long as we only count the hours we actually got things done. </p> <p>DD had a high fever last night so I'm currently doing this, actually... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-watches-your-los-when-theyre-sick#post-2531795 Fri, 22 Apr 2016 06:49:43 +0000 mamabolt 2531795@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Always me. I can WFH if needed and DH can't. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-watches-your-los-when-theyre-sick#post-2531769 Fri, 22 Apr 2016 06:18:28 +0000 looch 2531769@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My parents, if it is during the week. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-watches-your-los-when-theyre-sick#post-2531766 Fri, 22 Apr 2016 06:08:38 +0000 lamariniere 2531766@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I WAH, so I usually do it unless I have a tight deadline. The last few times my DH has had to take off of work to watch them because I had to work. His office has a very generous sick leave policy though, so it's usually no trouble. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-watches-your-los-when-theyre-sick#post-2531759 Fri, 22 Apr 2016 05:41:22 +0000 nana87 2531759@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Usually me if I don't have to teach or have meetings because my schedule is more flexible and I set it myself. Lo was home 2 days this week though and we split it because I had deadlines </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-watches-your-los-when-theyre-sick#post-2531748 Fri, 22 Apr 2016 04:45:56 +0000 Pumuckl 2531748@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Usually me since this is one of the reasons I only work 80%. When I'm on a business trip my DH and the ILs watch them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-watches-your-los-when-theyre-sick#post-2531524 Thu, 21 Apr 2016 19:30:40 +0000 Alba4 2531524@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Usually me, since I have family sick days. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-watches-your-los-when-theyre-sick#post-2531506 Thu, 21 Apr 2016 19:23:30 +0000 Charm54 2531506@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My mom is able to come over and watch her (when I'm working). If I'm in a pinch my aunt will also help out </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-watches-your-los-when-theyre-sick#post-2531504 Thu, 21 Apr 2016 19:20:31 +0000 Mrs. Champagne 2531504@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I stay home but if I worked it would have to be me. No way DH could take the time and we have no one around to help. This is part of the reason I stay home. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-watches-your-los-when-theyre-sick#post-2529300 Thu, 21 Apr 2016 18:19:32 +0000 regberadaisy 2529300@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH &amp; I usually take turns taking the day off. But last week DD2 had HFM and he was really sick himself. Barely walk up the stairs exhausted with 2 infections. And when DD1 got HFM he got it bad then got shingles right after. I didn't want him around her if possible! But it sucked having to take 3 days off work consecutively.</p> <p>For a normal cold/fever we also call on my inlaws and BIL if need be. </p>
