I am actually tinkering with taking them to school and not answering my phone until the day is done Sad

I am so mad at myself, but I know it's because I want to give my children a better life that I am doing this. It's like the Yetzer hara tried everything else, and it didnot work so now it's attacking my kids knowing that I always put them above everything.

Sorry hun - but it is a little neglectful to send your kids to school when they are sick and unfair to everyone. Would it be possible to get a sitter at home for them? that would be ideal - I know it's easier said then done but at least try or maybe a stay at home mom can help you out - think who else might be sick that the kids know...

And whoever said staying at home w/sick kids is a break - it's even more exhausting

Can you talk to your teacher and explain the situation and perhaps be given make-up work so you can miss the class?

it's only the second day of class... Professor clearly stated that if we miss class, he will drop us.

G-d willing he will be ok tomorrow.

I know it would be neglect... I would never do it... ok?

Good for you that you're going to school on top of everything else you have on your plate. It can't be easy. Sorry, no good advice here - except maybe to daven REAL hard. good luck!

And one day, your kids will thank you!
