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.

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

Given he was able to eat spag bol the next day, sounds like it was 'safe' - but probably very indigestible eaten late at night. Self inflicted foolish choice.

DGOD was taken off mid-morning and we are back at DEFCON jeans and T shirt. Although he is still feeling very tired.

Made me lol! 😂

Don’t look him in the eye OP…. It’s not safe

@reallyworriedjobhunter

More importantly, is he full of tea and sympathy when you are ill (I am guessing not which is why you have sympathy for him!).

He is pretty good when I am ill - which is rare. Today he has done some jobs that needed doing, played with the kids, brought me cuppas, now sorting out a mammoth amount of recycling. Back to being a normal human again.

Side eye only

Call me perverse but a bit partial to dressing gowns of doom at dawn (or dusk) - bur the head tilt would have brought me down with the raging ick.

On a serious note if he’s well enough for Spag Bol I’d set him up on declutter duty and IKEA assembly - otherwise time to LTB

Wow, our parents' generation are made of strong stuff aren't they! Sadly my Dad also had stage 4 cancer (prostrate undetected for years, no scans given, and then it had spread, diabolical) yet took the dog out every day, maintained the garden, pushed himself so much to get the most out of life. I'm so sorry about your Mum, tough lady! Xx

A dressing gown being worn for its intended purpose at either end of the day isn't a DGOD.

It's a malingering or hypochondrial inhabitant which confers that status.

The dressing gown of doom - presumably accompanied by the slippers of sloth and the duvet of desolation.

And the underpants of unbearable being...

Sense of humour failure strikes again…🥸

😸😹

It's probably contemplating which bit to eat first if he shuffles off this mortal coil.

I'm trying to cut down on my screen time and then I came across this! I love a DGOD thread and you're hilarious @reallyworriedjobhunter Glad he's dressed but is the ankle any better?

Sorry about the screen time. The stiff ankle is a long running thing. I blame his mother for all of this btw.

This has really cheered me up. DGOD is on weekly here. Just so I know.

What is DEFCON?

Hope it means he is back to his best

even though that doesn't sound like it would be that much of a help to you

What a wuss. 🙄
Tell him to grow a pair or go home.

Doesn't matter whose fault it is he can't opt out of family life, especially when you have so much on. I suspect you're using humour to cover up your anger, he needs telling!

Hilarious threat thanks for cheering me up. Not just my DH who tells me I'm detail about each ailment, a bit of a scratchy throat, a little bit of a sore head, a sniffle... you get the idea.

No DGOD here (and had to goggle that!) But a oodie of... dunno news to think of something appropriate!

Hope he's recovered and releiveed it's not noro!!

What is DEFCON?

Defense readiness Condition.
Mainly associated with the Cold War.

DEFCON is short for (apparently) 'Defence Readiness Condition' - according to the US military, who are clearly not known for their command of the English language.
