Do You Still Write When You’re Sick?
Apparently, I’m gonna be sick as a dog for the next few years
It was my fear. Now my fear became reality:
My baby boy is sick and I’m starting to feel awful too.
Two weeks ago we made our dream come true and moved to the German Hamptons, a lovely island called Sylt.
I knew my son had to go to childcare one day. The day had come when we moved here.
I just need some time during the daytime to do my work.
Within the last past months, I was sitting far too often at the kitchen table until past midnight.
It’s exhausting.
Moreover, my baby boy, who’s 16 months old, sleeps like a baby .
Fellow writer and father Michael has found his own way when his son was little. Still, babies are terrible at sleeping.
Why do people say they sleep like babies? I don’t get it.
This isn’t something pretty. It’s awful. My baby boy wakes up several times per night.
And now? Are we gonna be sick as a dog 🐶for the next few years because my baby is in daycare for a few…
