Having someone sick in the house makes my job harder for sure, but there are 3 scenarios of sickness in my house depending on who's sick.
1. If one or more of the kids are sick, this case is not a heavy duty case rather stressful one. I keep checking on the sick kid every 5 mins, I hate it when they have a 39 or < fever, when they are vomiting or when they have diarrhea. I get so nervous and I can't sleep till they get better. Scheduling their medicines and fighting over taking them, keep reading their temperatures, giving them enough fluids and the right meals. And the minute I find them out of their bed fighting and shouting, I feel relax for this moment, cause I know they are back to their normal situation.
2. When my Husband is sick, that's a bad situation, where I get physically stressed and mentally too. When the Husband is sick, the whole world should be comfortable and on his demand, cause nobody is sick like him! He has the worst flu that anyone can have! I know many women are saying now : That's my husband!. Yes, they are all the same, the world turns around them.
3. The worst case scenario is when I am Sick!! Not because I'm making a big fuzz out of it, noooo, because no one treats me as a sick person. I'm treated as a totally normal person who should cook and take care of the house and the kids demands, and every 2 mins I hear someone calling "Mama!!!". And if God forbid I had fever or dizziness, they lock me in my bedroom and no one approaches me so they won't get sick too, and by no one I mean my dear Husband :) he even once sprayed the whole room with "Detoll" spray before entering the room cause I was so ill that day:).
In sickness and in health is a very important phrase in marriage vows. Some people get bored and can't support taking care of a sick person and leave. While others stick and be a third hand to carry you till you get better. Most men can't handle a sick woman, they don't know how to act. While most women by instinct can be a great support I met in life women who run away when they feel that this person is so sick and will depend on them. And I also met men who stick to their wives in real illness and stand by them all the way. I hope no one I know faces those situations, but at the same time, I hope they'll find the person who will always be there for them, no matter what.Thursday, July 5, 2012
