Today I am staying at home after waking up with a very bad headache, runny nose and fever. No work for me on a Saturday, unfriendly insensitive boss be damned. This mom won’t go out of bed!

But I have another boss at home who won’t hesitate in letting me know that the moment I became a mom, I have lost all my rights to get sick, to stay longer in bed and to have a little rest while she is awake! I can’t really blame her, she was too ecstatic to see her mom at home and not out to work so she took out all her books, spread it all in our bed and asked me to read. Each. One. Of. Them.

Clearly, she still can’t understand what a sore throat means!
