Is there anyone in the local vicinity that would pop round and kick my husband, please?

3 yo ds is poorly and has been in hospital this week. I've been staying with him overnight on the uncomfortable little cold out bed, soothing him every four hours when he has stinging antibiotics in his cannula, getting him back to sleep and then getting up and swapping places with DH so I can go to work and do a full days teaching as my classes are starting exams v soon, then returning at four and looking after DS again.

A few of a the nurses realised what I was doing and made a few supermum comments / you must be exhausted etc which made me smile. DH turned to me and said, 'I'm not just saying this, but the nurses said I was incredible yesterday for doing some work on the laptop whilst DS napped'

I took a deep breath lol

I bet my pension they said no such thing

Yes and he completely missed the nurse's sarcasm!
Wishing your DS a quick recovery and a 🥾 for the husband!

Ime nurses are always nice and supportive, they will tell you that you are doing a good job. I take it with a massive pinch of salt.
So I can believe they said it to your dh.
I hope your ds is better soon.

A quick twat round the head with said laptop would be my Go To weapon of choice...
Is the weather good enough to prepare for a new patio?

Yeah! I think I'd find it satisfying. Often feel like doing the same to my DP. Plus I have size 9 feet.

I can offer a size 8? And I have chunky boots.

I hope your DS is better soon x
