One of those months where everything seems to be hard and going nowhere. I knew having kids and raising a family is hard work. But, some days its very hard. The sheer effort to take care of kids when they are sick is very tough - it becomes insurmountable when you have a kid who gets sick often. It hits you two ways. first, it is not easy to fix the problem and the stress of keeping watch every second if the kid is getting affected makes you tired and drained. Second, you have to watch the amount of suffering/pain the kid goes through. He is moody, tired, stressed and at 5 years does not know how to handle it. He makes compromises - isn't it harsh for a five year old to compromise on playing in water or eating ice cream. It is tough to see the growth and the reason for the growth. I wish he did not have to. But, that's life. I hope it gets better for his sake.
