When you call in sick, what do you do with your nanny? I have a cold, but called in sick today because my 2.5 year old and 5 month old both have really bad congestion and coughs and were up all night and I got almost 0 sleep. The baby woke up at 12:30 with a terrible coughing fit and wouldn't go back to sleep till 2:30 am, after I sucked out her nose several times and fed her severeal times. She would only sleep on my chest. I think I fell asleep around 3. The toddler was up for the day at 5 am with a coughing fit and wouldn't go back down. When my alarm went off at 5:30 I just said eff it,and called in sick to work.

I texted my nanny and told her not to come, that I was staying home. But then my husband said I should have had her come to help so I could rest. I don't know if I can rest if my kids are coughing in the other room, but maybe next time I will have her come a few hours.
