How does he expect me to chose between my kids and my job? I was told this morning that my job is more important than anything else in this world. To me its not. If both of my babies are sick, throwing up- and he refuses to stay home with them. What am I supposed to do? He expects me to still send them to his sisters house. He says, its my sister, and I said, its a DAYCARE. My Mom was going to take my older one today, but that was kind of iffy because my Dad shouldn't be exposed to any sickness. His immune system is way down, and I don't want to be the fault of him getting REALLY sick. And with both kids with my Mom, that's an even bigger chance. I can't afford to not go to work because I won't get paid. And since my husband can't keep up on the mortgage payment, if I miss today, it fucks us again. It will be my fault we're living on the streets because the mortgage won't get paid, because I need to be a mother and stay home with my sick kids. Becuase Daddy finds every excuse in the book to not stay home with them.
I am just ripping my heart out right now....

I can't say I understand your dilemma because I don't have any kids... but surely, missing 1 or 2 days from work is not going to put you guys out on the street... ?
Hmmm... how would this fly to say to him? :
"Grow up! I'm staying home with OUR children because they're sick and because that's what a PARENT does! Deal with it."
If he doesn't like it, let him pout. He'll get over it.
*big hugs* ... and hope the lil ones feel better soon.
ps. Glad to hear your 'baby clock' stopped ticking, too. lol (looking at the post below this one).
;)
I'm sorry; it's often not an easy balance, work/home, etc- but to tell you work is most important, is wrong.
Hugs, and I'm really hoping your babies feel better fast, and that you work out the care situation.
I'm seconding what Lil Bit said! Can't you take a sick day or two from work?
Well, being it the end of the year. My "sick" days are all used up. I ended up going to work. He ended up staying home. My Mom came over here a couple times during the day to check on them- and so Hubby could run some errands (that he was so sure he couldn't do with 2 kids- true because they were sick) And then I came home, took over, and we were fine. He overreacts WAY too much, TOO often...
And thank you for the well wishes for the babies! :) Their tummies are better, but are now stuck with head colds. Which is WAY better for me to deal with. :)
Well, I'm glad to read that a compromise was reached! (why can men be such big ole BABIES themselves? lol)
