'Parents are again on the front line of a crisis, doing the dual work of their jobs and caregiving.' (via romper)
On weathering winter 2022, the cold season that just won’t quit.My son is on day five of a fever. We’re waiting in the too-hot hallway by the back entrance — the make-shift “sick kid” entrance that emerged in 2020 — to our regular pediatrician’s office, where we’re lucky enough to have nabbed an appointment today because I booked it yesterday assumingIt’s stuffy. We’re very masked. There’s nowhere for my febrile kid to sit so we plop down on the floor.
So here we were. My son sat in my lap as we waited. I told him Santa would have to bring some really cool gifts this year for all the swabs and pokes and colds he’s been through. It seemed to perk him up. We’re called in to see the doctor. Griffin can barely sit up, too tired to even race the Dinosaur Train in my PBS kids app while we wait to see a pediatrician we’ve never seen before, to get yet another swab. I’m relieved to be here and hate it that we’re here again.
I suspect that later I will feel angry that parents are again on the front line of a crisis, doing the dual work of their jobs and caregiving. But for now, I am too tired for that. I am treading molasses.
