Men Are Such Babies When Sick

My dh just came down with a cold. I can tell I am getting it to, which means our son will get it as well, can't wait. But he just called me at work to ask if I could get some chicken soup on the way home because we only have tomato or clam chowder, and he does not feel like cooking since he does not feel good and has been on his feet all day. I told him I will not stop at a store, there is not one on the way and I would get home 30 or 60 minutes later than normal I already do not get enough time with my son, I feel. He gets home from work 2 hours earlier than me. I will be expected to cook with a cold, take care of the baby with a cold. Who will get up all night with a sick baby? That would be me, not him. He is generally a pretty good guy but he makes me so irritated when he is sick. Ugh. Just felt like venting, because I will have to listen to him whine pathetically all night when I get home and take care of the baby all myself, not that I mind, but he is very demanding and I would like a shower. Anyone else's hubby obnoxious when sick?

Mine!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! He is such a cry baby when he's sick! I just ignore him though! I've already got 2 kids to look after, don't need him whining to me too! It's almost as if he tries to compete for my time with the kids, when he is sick! Usually my husband is a great guy when he's healthy... but when he's sick, I feel like strangling him! "Can you go to the store and get me Neo-Citran? Tylenol? Ginger-ale? " I hate it! My husband only ever got up once with my kids, EVER! It was 3.5 years ago. I was so sick that I almost died! He got up twice through the night, but when 7 a.m. came around, he told me it was my turn... and I felt really awful! So he wonders why I dont give a rats a__s when he gets sick! Men!!!

Amazing! I must be truly whipped because unless the paramedics are picking me up on a stretcher my wife will just tell me to "get over it you big baby"

LOL BBK!!! I can try that with him but it won't help. I have to just ignore him, like chelsey. Your wife is lucky!!! LOL

BBK should start a seminar for our husbands to attend! Call it "How To Be Helpful, Knowledgable and Still Be A Nice Guy!" You know, a little BBK 101....!!!!!!!!

Um, probably no seminar. This weekend I got my little rapsheet: "When was the last time you changed her diaper, last time you fed her?" ..."Michael takes her out for the whole Saturday so Marie can sleep"......I guess she talked to some other mom who is probably now yelling at her husband about things I do well and he doesn't. I would think in order for me to give such a seminar I'd have to get a clean rap-sheet :-)

Right on, chelsey!! You're so right! BBK's really quite a unique dad. Too good to be true. Not that I'm complaining, though, my hubby just made me the best bowl of popcorn ever. Hey BBK, I had a dream about you the other night (a very clean one, for all you dirty birdies out there!!). You sent me a postcard from a warm place, Hawaii maybe? There was a nice sunset on it and a palm tree I think. Weird huh? I think I spend too much time here!!

Actually CEM I haven't seen much of you here lately; that hot place was probably my apartment. Hawaii is nice! It was our second honeymoon trip..... quite far though

 

Shelly - November 14

CEM,I am not even going to comment on that dream of yours.. lLOL

 

CEM - November 14

No BBK, I haven't been around much lately. Been quite busy and when I have popped in I haven't contributed much. Hawaii is nice, was there 10 years ago with my sister.

Shelly, I've been waiting for a comment like that!! You're one of the dirty birdies I mentioned!! No, seriously, I think it's because I recently mailed a package to Chelsey....

 

Dirty Shelly - November 14

WHAT does mailing a package to Chelsey have to do with dreaming about BBK?

 

CEM - November 14

If that really is you Shelly, I was joking about being a dirty birdie!! I guess I just was thinking about mailing a package to Chelsey that day.... I've met her on this forum where BBK is also a regular.

 

chelsey - November 14

Wow, these past few posts have confused me! Any one else?

 

Shelly - November 14

LMAO.that was me CEM,i was just kidding!!!!

 

CEM - November 14

Me too chelsey! I think I'm going to go to bed, it's almost midnight here! Hope I haven't made anyone mad.
