Not really an AIBU but just posting for traffic

I am getting so cross & fed up now. We are on day 10 of the Flu in our house. Kids first, then DH & I.

Such a waste of the last week. Anyone else that has had this bad flu, fed up!!

Not even sure why I'm posting this.. guess I'm getting a bit sick of being stuck in the house with no1 knew to speak to lol x

Thank you for your well wishes. I'm hoping Indon't wake up in the morning in pain again. My poor DD was vomiting as well as DH.. hoping I can pass that part🤞 I am so sad how it's ruined the whole holidays. It's not as if we can get that week back😔 Feel awful for my little girl.. she is doing really well while we lie here.
Hope anyone else that has/had it recover quickly x

We had it too, totally ruined our Christmas. Horrendous fever, I can’t remember when I was last so ill. Hope you all feel much better soon x

I had it a few weeks back. My BF got it first, he hasn't had the flu jab and got it really badly. I got it after, have had the flu jab and it was bad but nowhere near as bad. My DM, step DF, MIL and FIL all got it as well, all vaccinated and got it badly but weren't as wiped out as my BF.

DD has got this awful flu bug even she had the flu vaccine, and my lovely friend too, so I'm not even sure it necessarily helps, tho so far I haven't got it and I'm vaccinated. Hope you're all better soon.💐

My DD had the nasal drops vaccine. Still got flu.. with 40degree + temperatures. My baby still high temps and awful cough.

I am just very fed up. Wasted the holidays. Christmas celebrations ruined & haven't left the house since Thursday.

I think less vaccines were given out for free this year

Oh yes my DD did, however not my 5 month old baby. DH adamant he is getting it going forward.. as this has just been a shambles of a week. The pain suffering we've been in while looking after 2 very young kids has been torture.. think we are through the worst of it now though but still lingering and DH still very ill.

Did they not get the vaccine at school?
