to come here to whinge, moan and cry?!

[NoTeaForMe]

My husband has had flu all week and has been off work incapable of doing anything for himself or anyone else. (To be fair he has actually been ill...!) My 2 year old daughter now has a cold and is thoroughly miserable today-last night I didn't sleep until 1.30am and the went into her at 1.30, 3.30, 5.30 and up and awake from 7.15. (timings are approximate!) so today I'm shattered, my husbands moaning his sinuses hurt, my daughter is complaining about everything and my parents are here to stay for a few days, trying to be helpful but I just want to cry! To top it all off I'm 22 weeks pregnant! AIBU or is it understandable that I feel like screaming, crying and going to bed now!

I would ask your parents to take charge of dd for you tonight and go to bed. You need to look after yourself too x

Perfectly understandable! Have a

To the vino!

I can't even drown my sorrows-as I'm pregnant! I don't think one glass would touch the sides do wouldn't be able to stop!

YANBU. You're tired & hormonal & you need to go to bed. I'm sure your parents would love to look after dd tonight. X

I can't really do that though as my daughter is ill and would want me or my husband if she woke.

Oh dear, not sure I'll be catching up on much sleep to tonight.

Is DH on the mend yet? Please let your mum and dad try to take care of dd and you get a bit of rest, you won't know whether granny/grandpa will be do for a cuddle if she wakes unless you try!

I think you've done really well OP. you must be exhausted so yanbu! I know what it's like with ill dh and kids as well as a house to run, it's unbelievably hard and you just feel like packing it in. I suggest buying a batch of Fizzy C tablets for your immune system, a ton of raw veg to snack on, keep as calm as you can and remember it will pass soon enough. Ask parents to do bedtime tonight, it won't hurt them. You must rest especially for the unborn babe, and you have all of our sympathies xxxx

Sorry there's a stray 'be' in there, still I think you probably know what I meant.

Sweetheart I feel for you, get your warmest clothes on and have a hot chocolate. Congratulate yourself on doing such a great job x

Wow, kindness on an AIBU thread! Ha!

Thankyou, I'm just so tired and am really hoping I don't get ill too now. Bedtime was quick and actually my husband did that. My daughter was so tired and feeling unwell that she was upset and just needed her Daddy! I'm on night duty as she's ill she is clingy to us - understandable I think, she is settling very quickly for me but if my Mom went in she'd be more upset and it would take me longer to settle her, so in the long run it wouldn't actually be doing me any favours!

I had just started to feel uncaring towards my ill husband but also unappreciated and wanted to check if I was unreasonable or not!

YANBU, you are exhausted. Even if you have to do the night shift, at least hand her over to her grandparents in the morning (6am?!) and go back to bed yourself for a few hours then.
