It's Not Work-Life but Work-Illness Balance

And here we go again. Since starting kindergarden two months ago, my youngest has had his first four (!) stomach flus. He has two older siblings and has had a lot of contact with other kids before, plus I am far from set on over-hygiene. Since September, nearly all of us have caught some of these bugs, at times consecutively, at times together. This means that out of three kids, I have had only a few days where everyone is at care / school at the same time. Work-life or work-family balance is, at the end of the day, work-illness balance. There are always ways to plan for vacations, for extra events at school, for a moment off for your kids. Planning for sudden stomach flus that come and go, wipe our one or all, is impossible. I'm tired and fed up. I know it's a short phase, but please, enough now...
