Do your kids want mommy or daddy when they are sick.....

Tweet

I never really thought about this until last week when all my kids were sick at the same time, who do they want the most mommy or daddy? My kids want mommy no matter what. I feel like I was put through the ringer last week trying to take care of all three of them together. I had three sick kids wanting to be held and wanting mommy to lay down with them and snuggle. There were alot of sleepless night going back and forth from my sons to my daughter. My husband would try to help by rocking them and laying down next to them but all he heard was screams of I want mommy, not daddy!!!! I would go in there and within five minutes they were calmed down. They wouldnt let daddy give them medicine either, it had to be mommy. When my two year old daughter would wake up I would hold her until my sons needed me and I would hand to daddy so he could rock her. Five minutes later she comes in their room crying and screaming she mommy, mommy mommy!!! My husband said honey I tried but she wouldnt let me calm her down. He would hug me and say your rhe best wife and mom a man could ever have. I would look at him and say at least your trying to help with the kids, I appreciate it. I know when I was growing up I always wanted my mom no matter what. My dad tried as well but it was just never the same. My mom could always make the worst cold or stomach ache not seem so sever when she would hold me and rub my hair. Mom always had the magic touch and to this day I miss her the most when I am sick and I want her to rub my hair and say mom is here, you will feel better soon. So now my kids need mommys magic touch and I do my best to make sure that mom makes them feel better, but sometimes it would be nice if daddy had that same magic touch.
