To be slightly (well more than slightly) pissed off

DH and I have got really nasty colds. Coughing, sore throat, headache, tired and achy.
So who is it only me who's up with DS? Why is it okay for DH to lie in bed most of the day while I struggle with the kids?
I told DH I need a hand but he's apparently too ill and wants to stay in bed so he's hopefully okay for work tomorrow?
Where's my day in bed? I'm not just a SAHM I'm a carer to a child with severe SEN but it will still be me up doing everything tomorrow regardless of DH works or not.
Tell me I'm not unreasonable to feel really pissed off with him?

Yanbu, not even a little bit.

Tell him he is a selfish arsehole and you need a couple of hours sleep so he has to deal with ds.

This always shows what men think of women who do the caring so they can go off and do their jobs without a thought for childcare, illnesses or anything else.

Hope you feel better soon op 💐

What does he say when you say you're too ill to deal with the kids? If you just stayed in bed he'd have to get up wouldn't he?
