My husband has a cold ...

AIBU to wonder why men's colds are so much worse them women's colds , why they sneeze louder and further than us, and do they all have a poorly voice ?

And why does the world have to stop to acknowledge how ill they are? And why does the household tasks aside from keeping the DS alive, come to a fucking grinding halt?

YANBU.

He has Man-flu, have some sympathy!!

No , he hasn't mentioned the F word yet .
Just shuffled off to bed with a hot toddy .

Poor you OP. It's always grim when they're poorly!

My Pa had a cold recently which he caught from my Ma. However he obviously hadn't noticed as he said to her 'I do hope you don't catch this, it's making me feel so ill'. Ma smiled inwardly to herself and then rang me!

They sneeze louder because they have bigger noses

They sneeze louder because when a man is ill the whole fecking world needs to hear about it...........

And if men had periods suddenly the entire male workforce would be granted a monthly 'duvet day' because of their period pains. Oh, and tampax would be free.
