Sponsored Video: The Case of the Scary Mom (and Dad)

This post was sponsored by Chloraseptic but all thoughts are my own.

Coughs, runny noses, sore throats…they seem to come with the season. This winter has been particularly brutal with the temperatures well below freezing for days on end. There’s nothing worse than dealing with a little one who is sick, unless it is when YOU are sick yourself.

When I get sick, I want to curl up in my bed with a humidifier, a big blanket, and a good book…and be left completely alone. As a stay at home mom for many years while my kids were little and now as a work at home mom, there has never been much of a chance for me to take a true sick day. Life and all the responsibilities of being a mom go on, no matter how scary I may look or sound.

This video cracked me up. I know I’ve definitely felt like a scary mom a time or two when I have been sick.

The case of the scary dad:

Years ago, my husband lost his voice and could only speak in a hoarse whisper. It sounded very similar to the voice that he would use on non-sick days to scare the kids (playfully, of course!). After a day of speaking like that, our youngest son, AJ, yelled at him in frustration, “Dad! STOP talking like that!”
We still joke about how frustrated he got when daddy was sick – kids don’t expect their parents to be anything but at the top of their game. And we are definitely NOT always at the top of our game…especially during cold and flu season!

How do your kids react when you are sick?

Next time you or your kids have a sore throat, grab some Chloraseptic Sore Throat Sprays, which do wonders for your sore throat and mouth pain. Chloraseptic Sore Throat Sprays are easy to use, small enough to carry around with you and safer for young children to use than lozenges. The sprays come in a range of flavors to please even the pickiest kids, including cherry, citrus and honey lemon and are alcohol, aspirin and sugar free! Find more information on Chloraseptic.com.
