So, DH has a nasty viral infection which he's been off work with. We have 2 DC (aged 3 and 7 months) who I have been taking care of for the past week to allow him to rest. When he's felt up to it for the odd hour here & there he has helped out but I've been doing the bulk to allow him to sleep.
Today I'm having a tough day. 7mo is teething badly and not herself, refusing to sleep, won't go in jumperoo, will basically scream the house down if I don't hold her.
DH has been in bed a lot of the day but up for an hour or so this morning.
After realising that the only thing we have in the house for dinner will require quite a lot of cooking, which will mean DD2 being very distressed while I cook, I decided on a takeaway. I literally look like I've been dragged through a busy backwards today as I haven't been feeling great myself either. My hair is still wet from my shower, I have mascara under my eyes and I have a baby glued to me so it's pretty impossible to make myself presentable.
I went upstairs to DH and asked him if he could possibly answer the door to the local delivery man as I'd be mortified to be seen like this. His response; "are you having a laugh???"
I just feel frustrated. He works away often and we don't have family nearby. I know he's not well but I've been unwell numerous times over the years, sickness bugs, viral infections and I've had no choice but to carry on being a mum and finding a way through the day often without a single person to help, hard though that is. If I was ill and someone said they'd take care of my 3 year old and tired, teething 7 month old and let me sleep but could I just answer the door once, I'd think I'd hit the jackpot. Maybe I'm being unreasonable so please tell me if I am being. DH is normally great and does so much around the house etc but in this instance, I just know things would be different if it was me who was ill.
