in Chit-Chat
So, I have a cold, a bad cold, but I carry on doing the Mum thing, running around after three kids, one if which is sick too. Hubby comes home after being away with work for the week (did I mention I was doing all of the above by myself?), Anyway, hubs comes home, looks at me and says "You don't look too bad." moves into the child-free front room and proceeds to fall into a dead sleep on the sofa.

What do I do ladies? Respect the fact that he's been out earning money for the family, or Taser his bollocks??? I have to be honest, I'm leaning toward a 10 minute taser........

Any alternative suggestions gratefully received!

    Tell the kids to go play in the room he's in and to maybe use him a human trampoline?

    Taser him!
    Id understand him not being as helpful if you werent sick, but when sick, he should be helping a bit more.

    i vote for the tasser his goolies! yay..... :devil:

    But then he would just get his "manflu" thingy and that would be it for weeks so you would just end up even worse ...
    can't you sorta send the kids in to him accidently of course :devil:

    My husband's not very helpful either and we argue a lot about it. He's a couch potato when he comes home from work. I work part time and take care of my 3 kids and he gets home just in time to say good night to them.....it's frustrating! Can I borrow the taser thingy?

    Taser LOL. Been there -- know how it feels. Men are such jerks sometimes (and before the men start complaining about women.. I know we can be a reach peach sometimes too).

    I would leave without telling him and check-in to a hotel for a couple hours to sleep.

    Agreed...and be clear. Skip the passive aggressive stuff.

    i hate when i am sick and i don't get downtime.

    last year, hubby, the kids and i got sick at the same time. hubby stayed home from work and slept on the couch, while i took care of the kids and him even though i was sick too. our work is never done. :)

    Completely agree! The lack of help - especially when sick, is totally uncalled for. Play away, kids!

    Or: What I would probably do is tell him, I'm sick and I'm exhausted. You have to watch the kids for 2 hours while I nap. And you need to unload the dishwasher if you want to eat tomorrow. Bye-bye.

    Put the tazer in his hand then when he "accidentally" stuns himself he wont be able to let go or stop frying his lazy *kitten*.

    Patience, my dear. Make sure to breathe on him a lot, then when's he's sick as a dog next week (because you KNOW men always get a worse version of the virus than we had) ignore him.

    Have a talk.


    Men sometimes don't get it. You may hear he is tired too.
    Just talk to him.
