The despair of a morning when your child has a fever, I totally get it😭

When I read blogs, I often see posts from working moms saying,

My child has a fever...

I see articles like that.

I mean, really,

I totally get it~😭

I read those while clutching my smartphone.

While worrying about my child,

What should I do about the doctor?

What should I do about work?

Can I take the day off?

I have to call the office...

My brain is running at full speed from the morning.

I haven't even had my coffee yet🤣

Besides, when children are small, these things happen so often.

It always happens on the day of a family trip we were looking forward to,

Are you... running a fever?

Things like that happen too.

Not today, please don't do this to me😭

Right?

The hotel is already booked.

The bags are already packed.

The kids are looking forward to it, too.

And yet,

everything gets canceled😭

The family trip plans changed to a day at the hospital.

That feeling of despair is just indescribable🤣

Looking back now, I can laugh about it, but at the time, it wasn't funny at all.

"I was like that 20 years ago, too..."

I think to myself as I read a working mom's blog.

Taking care of the house, the kids, and work.

Carrying it all, somehow managing to keep everything running every day.

I was so desperate at the time that I didn't even realize how hard I was working, but

now I realize it.

Moms raising children are really doing their best!!👏

Now my children are grown up and working adults.

Looking back,

the child-rearing period was truly tough...

But strangely enough, once it's over, it feels like it went by in a flash.

So, to all the working moms doing their best right now,

"You're doing more than enough~😭"

I want to tell you that.

There are many moms raising children at my workplace too, so I want to be as considerate as I can.

I was on the receiving end of that help in the past.

Now, I hope I can be on the side that helps, even if just a little.

Thinking about that, I'm reminiscing about my own child-rearing days,

as a slightly older auntie who's been there before😊

By the way, if it were now...

If my child got a fever the day before a trip,

I might just think, 'Well, this is a forced rest from God.'

I might be able to think that way now🤣

And, there are more dads working hard at raising children too, aren't there?☺️

▼We had to cancel because of the child's fever, but I really wanted to visit the Oga Peninsula😅
