Dressing gown of doom is on

[reallyworriedjobhunter]

He has been made unwell by a takeaway that he ate late last night and is concerned that I am not checking on him often enough. He has limped all the way downstairs to tell me this.

Oh OP you have my sympathies. My DH is due to have a wisdom tooth out in the morning so I'm anxiously eyeing up the Dressing Gown of Doom all evening as I know it will be the first thing he reaches for when he gets back. He's been shuffling around all evening sighing and clearing his throat.....

Surely it might be if he carries on like this. OP, have you earmarked a place under the patio yet?

I'm lying in bed laughing at "Here we go" 🤣

Chipgate 😂😂😂

I'm helpless 🦖 😂

Ah yes, domestic violence is definitely the answer 😆

My DP actually sent his DGoD to the laundrette as ‘he couldn’t trust me not to chuck it out” 😮 I had complained that it was stinky and I wanted to give it ‘a damned good hot wash’ but he’s knows I hate it…
what on earth do they do to these DGs? Mine never smelt like that even when nursing my DC!

Poor guy. I'm glad he's getting better - that must have been frightening for you both and wider family.

OP: maybe remind your husband of the little boy who cried "Wolf!". There may come a time when he really is ill but you don't believe him... 🌹

It's your turn next bank holiday... you'll need to be strong and not feel guilty and go back to being the strong one though or he'll out-perform you. 🌹

Where are your ducks OP? And are they in a row? 🌹

Meanwhile, DGODDH has gone to bed, now saying that due to now having suspected norovirus he is going to sleep in the spare room for reasons of infection control.

Ah well, at least him retiring to the spare room for the night is the silver lining to the DGOD.

for all the jokes this man seems like a lazy good for nothing-what does he do exactly to pull is weight

You def have a point… The annoying thing is, as soon as he’s back to work, he’s chatting away about “ now what jobs need doing, remind me when I’m off, make me a list, yadda yadda” - but the days leading up to the BHols, the sniffles of sadness start up🤨🤨

The funniest time is in the summer, when it’s warm, the DGoD is far too heavy, fleecy (and stinky) to wear… so the life-threatening sniffles aren’t so effective😁😁
Even the Ddog gives him the side-eye when he starts up🙄

Has he gone for a 💩 yet?

Clothes make the man.

Obviously he should eat nothing but plain boiled rice for the next 3 days. Highly recommended for iffy guts, when accompanied by the DGOD.

@reallyworriedjobhunter he is.

Poor little lamb! Give him a good teaspoonful of soda bicarb stirred into the juice of a whole lemon. He has to drink it down at one gulp, whilst it's fizzing. Tell him to stand next to the toilet or give him a bowl. He might be very sick but he'll feel so much better. Either way it will cleanse his system. He'll appreciate your concern, I'm sure.

Tell the whelp you’ve got real children to care for & if he wants a nurse maid he can faff off to his mother & she can look after him 😂😂😂😂

My dh is the complete opposite. When he's ill he refuses to stay in bed or be looked after, will instead get dressed and fall asleep on the settee! My Dad was the same, even with cancer, he pushed himself and made every day matter. Total respect to this attitude. Xx

Haha this made me chuckle. Thankfully my DH has no idea how to work any technology so I am spared from alexia 😂

Men who wear the dressing gown of doom automatically descend into the realm of “quietly pained vocals” where an edge of desperation impacts every request 😩

He needs to keep his strength up. Could you get him an intravenous drip like in ICU?

I wouldn't say that was self inflicted. I'd expect takeaway food to be safe to eat.

However. He definitely needs to be ill quietly and stop attention seeking haha.

We were with my Mum for Easter. She has stage 4 lung cancer and insisted on cooking Easter lunch for 12 people.
