Being sick as a mum is almost impossible 🤒

You have to take care of your children 24/7 and then you suddenly have the flu
Your body indicates that you have to take a rest, but your task as a mother remains
You still have to do everything.
How do you treat the flu as a mother?

Flu Shot 💉

In October I neatly got my annual flu shot from the family doctor
In the Netherlands, you get the flu shot if you belong to a so-called risk group or you buy the vaccine at the pharmacy

In 1947 the World Health Organisation established a worldwide and a national network for Influenza

Every national network conducts flu surveillance in their own country throughout the year and collects important information that is shared with the worldwide network
The composition of the flu shot is advised annually at national level
Unfortunately, the flu shot this year doesn't help against the current Influenza Pandemic

And now I lie in bed with flu 🛌
I am cold and warm at the same time
I am tired
I have muscle pain and headaches 💊

For this afternoon I ask my dad 👴🏼 if he will pick up my daughter and take her to her ballet class

In 2 weeks time, she has her yearly performance of the ballet school
She has been looking forward to all year for this
Nice to have a dad, who lives in the same area as my family and who wants to pick up his granddaughter 👧🏼 from school and take her to her ballet class

The Olympic games have already started and the ice skating is his favorite

The Dutch women's 🇳🇱have their ice skate races this afternoon and these races he will have to miss now
THNX, DAD I 🧡you! Note: The Dutchies have a gold medal🥇

My tips are for a sick mother as a mother are:

Let It Go, Let It Go…..

• No more or fewer rules:
  🎮📺📱let them play longer on the iPad or PSP4 or Wii or Netflix, so you can take your rest
• Ask your children for help:
  🚰children like to take care of mothers and get them to feel that they are useful
  Explain to your children that you are sick and need rest!
• Go to bed early:
  🛌ask your husband to put your children in bed or, if necessary, enlist the help of grandfather/grandmother/nanny/ neighbors. Save your strength as much as possible
• Ask others for help:
  🚕Ask a friend or mother from school or grandfather/ grandmother if she can take your children to school or if she can do your grocery shopping 🛒

Everyone understands that it is difficult to being sick when you are a mother


Have a great day!
