And can't play with your LO's? 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.

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

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"...

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!

My kids should feel guilty when I'm sick
If I dare try to rest, someone ends up crawling on me or jumping on my head in five minutes. 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.

Nope! It is all about survival.

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.

Not if it's just a few days. 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.
