I cough in your general direction
Long story short, the kids got sick, and then my husband and I got sick, and then there was ONE kid who got healthy while everyone was sick, and that kid ran around the house whining, I'mBorrrrrred! at volume 10 for three days while the rest of us dragged around the house like toasty 102 degree zombies, and at first I was all brave and sequestering all of us for the Good of Humanity! because eff you, flu-bug. I shall not pass you on.
But eventually I broke down and called people to at least come and take the healthy kid - I would slip her through the mail slot to avoid contagion - just do something to help me out. But no one would help me out. Not even my own dad, who claimed he was too old and infirm to risk getting the flu.
