Is you husband a big baby when he gets sick ???? - Page 2

My hubby is pretty good when he is sick. He rarely gets so sick he has to go to bed and when he is that bad he wants to be left alone. He isn't a bother.

The problem is when I'm sick. He thinks I'm like him - that I want to be left alone. The problem is, when I'm so sick I am in bed, I really am so sick I can't do anything for myself. As my husband said, "I noticed that when you get sick you tend to let things go around the house." Well, yeah! One time I was so sick he moved me out of the bed onto the couch, then left me there. He'd leave for work and not even offer to get me food, water or medications yet I was so sick I couldn't get them for myself. What I really needed was to go to the hospital - and he was leaving me alone all day while he worked!!!

Over the years he has slowly gotten better about being aware when I'm so sick I can't even talk but years of him travelling has forced me to work out a support system that doesn't include him.

my dh is a big baby when it comes to being sick and to boot he is a hypochondriac - so he is always dying when he is sick.  Me, he just doesn't think my sickness is ever as sick as him because like most of us moms, we really have to be dying before we can stop feeding the dog, getting the kids here and there....lol.  Usually after one day of me being sick my dh is like "You feel better today right?"  LOL.  He's such a good guy most of the time so I can usually overlook this but once I had pneumonia and it really laid me up good - everyday he would check "you feel better today right?"   The next week I he got the "sniffles" you would have thought they chopped off his legs.LOL

That darn bottle flu strikes again!

My dh currently is battling viral bronchitis...essentially a nasty cough. And yeah even with his strong meds you would think he is a step away from death. I had the same thing in college and I still went to some classes, did things around my house, and did minor work outs. Even a headache (not a migraine) will lay him out for hours. I take my meds and keep ticking because someone has to.

Nope.  I'm usually the one whining! 

The last time my hubby was sick I asked the doctor to shoot me!

I think all men are like that lol

And they (mine anyway) refuse to do anything about it! "*cough cough* my throat hurts and my chest is sore" "do you want some cough medicine?" "....no"  ugh

Most recently he cut himself on a nail, opened his palm right up, "I think you need stitches, a butterfly bandage isn't going to do it" "F*** that!"  And now guess who's complaining about their gash? You'd think it was the next grand canyon the way he carries on

boys

I just suck it up and carry on. Unless I'm on death's door I still feel the need to do everything. Heck, I've even pulled out knives and cut casts back myself so they wouldn't hinder me

oh my lord yes!!!!!!!!

you would think the world is coming to an end if he is home sick!!!!!

the kids just ask for water bottles, the barf buckets( they each have one ) and to be left alone and they sleep!

That's a slightly better term than the "puke bowls" that we have LOL
