Sick Happens, the Library and the Gender-Neutral Potty Training Book That Worked a Little Too Well

Meri Perra blogs about the challenges she and her partner face in trying to raise their girls with feminist values

Every parent whose kid is in public day care learns two things quickly:

  • Snot comes in a multitude of colours, more than you ever knew
  • You will need to have extra child care arrangements in place for when your kid gets sick. Because you haven’t known sick until you’ve had a kid in public day care.

I’ll say it again. Sick happens, enough to test the limits of the most generous sick-time benefits of a tired parent. One more time. Sick happens. Deal with it.
