Do you ever feel like your kids are catching every bug out there?

Question

My kids are sick again. The 2nd time for my daughter in 3 weeks and the 3rd time for my son in 6 weeks. He has had the Flu 3 times in 6 weeks. I am not talking a cold, but the fevers aches and pains in the joints and headaches as well as Pharyngitis (what his sister has to). I know it is winter so there is more around but I am OVER it.

What do you do (apart from vitamins) to help keep your child from getting sick. He has had 3 weeks off this term and we are only into our 8th week (roll on holidays, only 2 more weeks, I can't wait)

Answer 1

Awwww. It's like that isn't it.

We cannot get rid of Gastro. It's haunting my house lately, on and off. I am pulling out full measures, and compulsively washing hands, bodies, clothing, furniture, etc.

Now Dominik is in school, I find we are coping everything. Usually I don't get them, but I seem to be getting the brunt of all of the sicknesses.

The 3 elder boys, Hubby & I are all on Vitamins. That's about all we can do. And keeping away from germy people - lol.

Don't worry, it's soon to be holidays. They start Friday here! Whoo hoo!! And Spring is HERE!! Bring on the warm weather I say ;)

Hope they recover over the school break!!

Judging by the weather report on the news, I think winter may be here for a little longer. So you better get moving up to that snow. Me on the other hand, I can't wait till it starts getting warmer, and the sun is up for longer.

Winter really cramps my style, lol!! So much to do, not enough hours in the day.

Answer 2

your kids will probably get magically better when holidays come, even if they are sick

Answer 3

Yes, I know what you mean. When my daughter started kindergarten last year she got a cold week 1, a couple weeks later strep throat, then flu then a stomach virus and on top of all this she had a cough that wouldn't go away and then she got so sick her whole body reacted and she got a terrible rash from head to toe. I felt like the worse mom in the world. I took her to the doctor every 2 weeks in kindy, pretty much.

They just said, she's young, all kids have at least 1 terrible year and that was hers.
