If there is one thing that cannot happen in this world, it is a mother being sick! The house and all its organization, the children and their care and even the general functioning of the family’s life only works because of the mother. Have you noticed that mom knows where everything is inside the house and even objects that seem invisible to everyone’s eyes are easily found by mom?
Mothers are undoubtedly heroines, who do everything and at the same time to take care of their chores and keep everything in its proper place. They take care of the children, the house, work outside, do the market, help with their homework , do the market and, on top of that, manage to manage every detail of their home, including in terms of finances. And if there is one thing that a mother doesn’t like to see, it’s a sick child and we constantly hear the old phrase “I wish I was sick in his place”. Of course, which mother likes to see her children sick? But when this happens, and the mother becomes ill, it becomes a total waste for everyone!
Who will take care of the food and school hours? Who will take care of the clothes and uniforms? Who will organize the house and even the dismissal? Who will look after the children? And the answer is clear and objective, THE MOTHER! And since when can mom get sick? Even with the flu, with fever, with a headache, body pain, the mother is a warrior and faces her chores normally. If you have someone to help, obviously it is easier to take care of yourself, to be able to do the necessary rest to improve, but when you don’t have it? Funny that when single or without children, a simple flu shakes everything and we can only see one thing, our bed. The strength of every mother is really the children and it is from there that the strength to get out of bed and take care of everything is taken, even though the body and head are begging for a little rest.
How to get around on sick days?
Going out to work sick is no longer easy. Now do you imagine getting out of bed against your body and health and having to take care of your children with 100% energy while yours is at 10%? So the best way out is still prevention. It is not because we become mothers that we should stop taking care of ourselves , especially with our health. Doing an annual check up with tests is essential, eating well including vitamin-rich foods, exercising and getting a good night’s sleep is essential to keep your health up to date.
Of course, there are the flu, colds and viruses that insist on entering our lives even if we are so careful, but if we lead a healthy life the chances of occurring are minimized. This is true for our children too, after all it is not enough to just take care of the children and leave our health aside. Usually this is how family epidemics come in. When one gets the flu, the rest of the family also gets into bed, so it becomes a real chaos.
But when there is no way out, it is best to ask for the help of close family members and put your foot on the brake with routine. Things can wait for you to recover, no matter how long . If only you are sick, ask for collaboration even from your children, even though little ones can help with objects out of place and even in some simple tasks in the house, such as taking out the garbage. No matter what the health problem is, the best remedy is always rest, so take a deep breath, close your eyes to the amount of things you would have to do and focus on your recovery. The more you can rest, the faster your improvement will be.

My name is Dr. Alexis Hart I am 38 years old, I am the mother of 3 beautiful children! Different ages, different phases 16 years, 12 years and 7 years. In love with motherhood since always, I found it difficult to make my dreams come true, and also some more after I was already a mother.
Since I imagined myself as a mother, in my thoughts everything seemed to be much easier and simpler than it really was, I expected to get pregnant as soon as I wished, but it wasn’t that simple. The first pregnancy was smooth, but my daughter’s birth was very troubled. Joana was born in 2002 with a weight of 2930kg and 45cm, from a very peaceful cesarean delivery but she had already been born with congenital pneumonia due to a broken bag not treated with antibiotics even before delivery.
