My husband is tired. I thought I’d better tell you all

There has been so much huffing and puffing around the house about how tired he is that I think he wants everyone to know.

Definitely a pandemic. Mine is tired and 'acheyfied' Hmm Which obviously requires him to sit on one screen or other all day, moaning, groaning & wincing 🙄 Of course, it is not bad enough to do anything about it like take medicine, though. Poor lamb Hmm

Ah poor thing, he may perk up later after a little rest and muster up a little bit of energy to play on the Xbox or watch tv do you think? Grin

No dressing gown of doom.
I just announced I was off out for a walk, and left.
Hopefully he will have recovered by the time I get back.

My thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time. I, too, live with a man whose sighs can probably be heard by the entire street.

Male tiredness must be different. I am absolutely shattered. Finished my first shift back at work after mat leave and promptly took control of a 7 month old and making dinner so DH could send some emails. Said 7 month old has been especially difficult today and has successfully prevented any email sending.

Ah poor little sausage

You must sit him down immediately and offer him a nice hot drink whilst massaging his feet and giving as much sympathy as you can

Mine is so tired he's had to take himself off to the pub to be tired there.

LaurieFairyCake · 10/07/2020 17:36

Mine sighs and hunches

Makes me want to kick him Grin

iklboo · 10/07/2020 17:33

Mine too. It must be soooooo hard being all a tired and having to let everyone know. I'm expecting 'trembly voice' any time soon.

Poor wee lamb, please go get him a drink immediately Smile

elephantoverthehill · 10/07/2020 17:30

Grin Glad I haven't got one.

Louise0701 · 10/07/2020 17:30

Poor man Flowers

Dressing gown of doom Grin

LillianBland · 10/07/2020 17:27

It could be an indication, that dive thing is seriously wrong. 😱

Is it his turn to do dinner, by any chance?

MrsTribbiani · 10/07/2020 17:27

He obviously needs to be relieved of all adult duties tonight so he can sit on the sofa and watch you cook, clean and be a grown up. Women never get tired, obvs.

SalemSaberhagenSpellman · 10/07/2020 17:25

Oh no it must be another pandemic as mine has the exact same symptoms. The audible exhale seems to be the worst symptom so far. Obviously he has caught it as he's the only one working from home and looking after the kids! Oh no, wait...

TW2013 · 10/07/2020 17:25

Do you think he needs the dressing gown of doom? It might help to make it really clear that he is suffering.

ClaraLane · 10/07/2020 17:24

I don’t think you’re being very sympathetic. Everyone knows that man tired is different from normal tired. The poor lamb couldn’t possibly cope with his tiredness.

JemimaPyjamas · 10/07/2020 17:24

I’m glad I do. Mine has just informed me he’s going to the toilet.
Equally useful info I thought worth sharing x
