Unless I’m mistaken, caring for little kids while sick is an element of parenting that is utterly hack-proof, meaning there is no hack that makes it any easier, no lesson you can learn that makes it go better the next time. So grim

Hey also when you’re prompted to donate, don’t. The org takes your donation, bundles it with everyone else’s, and takes the charitable tax write off. They can afford to donate their own money.
CVS is being sued for asking customers to donate to the American Diabetes Association when they check out. Those donations are in fact *not* sent to the ADA, but instead reimburse the CVS for a legally binding obligation of $10M that CVS promised earlier https://t.co/t8IAiqyu43
