My younger brother was ill for a couple of days now. Which means, waking up early to prepare his meals, bathing him and what not.
I wasn't much of an organized freak and I can even forgot to give him his medicine for a couple of times now. Thank God he could remember though.
I woke up this morning, disinfecting the entire house. It's no joke man. Totally. From the rooms, to the beds, toilets, kitchens, door handles, phones, remotes and switches. I nearly died from all the cleaning. Not to forget feeding him medicine on time, making sure he's hydrated enough and if he's getting enough rest.
At nights, it gets worse. I wake abruptly every now and then to check on him. Seeing him sleeping peacefully in the same position i've left him will then put my mind to rest.
Is this like to have a child? Having to worry about everything. If they're warm, clothed and healthy?
Being a parent is exhausting. How can one shut their eyes and sleep when the fear that something might happen to your child is looming over you?
