My husband has been ill since Monday. He’s had the flu bug that’s going around so it’s been genuine.
I have picked up everything in the house with our 2 children. Wake ups, school runs, tea times, swimming lessons, school assemblies, bedtimes, all the house work, laundry, running around after him, fetching him drinks, going to the shops for him. All whilst working my full time job all week as well. I’ve kept the kids away from him so they don’t get it or bother him. I’ve even slept in my sons tiny single bed with him to avoid getting it.
Yesterday morning getting the kids out to school was stressful. We were late, they were bickering and not doing what they were asked. I got cross. Not massively so but they were firmly told to stop what they were doing and put their shoes on. Once I got back from the school run he came out and told me I shouldn’t get cross with them because they’ll remember this when they’re older and I was in the wrong for snapping (once all week)
Last night I could feel myself coming down with it. Cough, headache, chills, fever etc. We agreed I would sleep in our bed and he’d sleep on the sofa (as he’s starting to feel better). Except our son woke up at midnight coughing and rather than dealing with him himself he bought him in to me! I can hear him snoring away but I’ve been woken up by said child and I’m having to entertain him (he’s only 4) whilst feeling as bad as he did at the start of it - when I did everything I could to help him!
Sorry that was long. I have no one in real life to moan about him too. All my rants on here seem to be about him. 80% of the time he’s fine but then he can be so monumentally selfish sometimes
