to not be brimming over in sympathy.

So yesterday dh had a vasectomy. He has been a complete nighmare. Basically saying/being in so much pain and really milking it. I have tried to be sympathetic but its starting to grate a little now.
After all i have had 3 csections and after this last one pretty much had to get on with looking after our 3 dc and the house. He had 3 days off work only and even than had to be asked to change a nappy. He didn't once offer to do any hoovering or ironing etc so it just got lef until I had to ask him to do it.

When dh had his op he had to lie perfectly still in bed for 2 (or was it 3 maybe?) days coz he had really bad swelling. So he lay in bed and watched movies for 3 days. I didnt really have a problem with it, he needed my help and being his wife, i helped. He didnt help me a lot after giving birth two times, he was self employed and didnt even have any time off (no work - no money!) so my mum came and she helped me. I certainly wouldnt hold this against him for ever when he needs my help.

But we all know that men cant handle pain like we can.. that where manflu gets its name, coz no women ever suffered with manflu like a man .
