I'm a single mum. By definition, we don't GET sick

I have to tough it out but luckily i'm generally healthy (or at least, my health issues, with a non-funtioning thyroid, are so long-term there's no way xp could realistically help out). He did once take a day off when DD was sick as i hadn't slept at all (her temp was all over and i spent all night sponging her down and dosing her with calpol and trying to get her to drink, was awful, terrifying and lonely) but when he came over she wouldn't settle with him so i had company rather than a break - did my dishes for me tho

DP and i don't live together yet but i think it'd feel weird asking him to stay home and look after my kid, unless we were married.
