This week I found it completely challenging – I had some urgent business work that needed my attention and then on Wednesday my wife went into hospital for surgery, luckily we had Renee’s parents come down to help look after our little girl Pyper, they love her to bits but without their help I would have been absolutely stuffed to be honest. I had a lot of problems going on that I had to make sure that Renee and Pyper would be looked after also.

So what happens when you know your going to be caught out and you just don’t have anyone to look after your little one, when your partner is either sick or cant help. Well call on friends is the biggest one, I make sure that i can lend a hand with some of our other friends and their children, because I am going to need to ask for the favour very soon.

Secondly don’t be afraid to look for a baby sitter, its stressful enough without thinking your the “Lone Ranger”
If you have family don’t be afraid to ask them also, they will help out if they can.
Lastly if you have named either guardians or god parents for your children then hopefully they might be able to take your little one for a few hours.
