LO has had a cold for about a week now, and although she is doing much better (no fever, nose is less snotty, she's cheerful), the congestion is starting to settle in her chest. I can hear her wheezing occasionally at night I think it's croup (she coughs at night and when she wakes up), which it seems unless it's severe there's not much you can do...but since she's only 15 weeks, I'd really like to get her seen this week.

Thing is.. I have tons of meetings and crap to do at work this week, so I asked DH to take her to the Dr and he basically said he was too busy and I should deal with it. I'm busy too!! I just started this job before maternity leave, and I've already taken off a few times to deal with her last cold.

So now it looks like I'm going to have to take her to the walk-in clinic and hope we are out by her bedtime, probably all to be told there's nothing they can do.

I'm just irritated. It feels like DH thinks his job is way more important than mine. I've already sucked out all my sick leave from maternity leave time, and I really can't keep taking off! I told DH after the last cold that I really needed him to take care of Drs appts (other than the big ones) until the end of the year, and I thought he was ok with it.

So... I doubt I'm alone in this. 2-income parents... who usually takes off? Do you think you share this sort of thing fairly?

Does anyone else feel like a crap parent? Cuz I do right now!

*and as a side note, any tips for dealing with Croup?
