AIBU to be upset my OH resents doing childcare while I’m ill?

Been bed bound for 4 days with the worst case of gastritis I’ve ever had and my OH is walking around acting like it’s such a big inconvenience for him as he has had to do all of the childcare. I’m so angry as I’m in so much pain and discomfort yet he’s walking around huffing and puffing like he’s got it bad 😡😡

It's not childcare. It's just being a dad. Something he should already know how to do. If he doesn't, it's time for you to do more out of the house so he gets some practice.

Tell me he's not complaining at you...

Yes YABU for even expecting a man would behave any other way.
