5.9: Daycare Sickness & Back-to-School Germs , Why Your Kid Is Always Sick

Sniffles. Fevers. Antibiotics. Repeat. If it feels like your kid has been sick longer than they’ve been alive, you’re not alone. Welcome to the daycare sickness cycle—a.k.a. the Germ Olympics of back-to-school season.

This week, we dive into the messy, exhausting reality of daycare germs, preschool bugs, and school colds that take down the whole family.

We talk about:

  • The endless daycare sick-day spiral (and those dreaded “your kid is sick, come get them” emails)

  • Work guilt, canceled meetings, and the “whose job is more flexible?” debate

  • What to do when your toddler brings home germs to your newborn or younger sibling

  • The mental toll of zero sleep, extra screen time, and mom guilt

  • The pressure to “keep it together” when all you want to do is scream

  • What’s actually normal sickness frequency in daycare kids

If you’ve ever started daycare and wondered if you accidentally signed up for a science experiment—or panicked about your newborn catching every bug—this one’s for you.

🎧 Hit play, laugh/cry with us, and know you’re not alone in the chaos.
