This is something that happened a few months ago. But I was thinking about it today and want opinions...

Back in Oct. my husband got a flu type illness. It wasn't so severe, just upset tummy(no vomiting), diarrhea and chills. I was stuck taking care of the baby for 6 days by myself while he laid in bed all day. Couldn't even change a diaper. After day #4 I was admittedly pretty pissed at him and I started to wonder if I had ever gotten sick like that, if it would be okay for me to just take a week off of being a mother. I know for a fact I would have still had to take care of the baby while sick, because that's what parents do, we don't get "sick days." so I didn't think it was fair. What are your thoughts?
