I have had a horrendous cold this week. Really fluey, fever, achy, cold, hacking cough and sore throat. Poor DS (nearly 2) has had it too.
I have had to go to work every day this week despite the fact I should have been in bed. DH doesn't work. He has DS 2 days a week, the other 3 he is on his own at home. TBF, he has recently (after lots of issues) started doing housework which is a step forward. We've had issues in the past about him being depressed / lazy and he is now getting treatment for the depression and is a lot better and he is pulling his weight around the house now and is looking for a job, so things have improved.
However, I have got up with DS every day this week. Washed him, dressed him, fed him etc, then gone to work. Then come home, played with him, fed him, bathed him, read to him and put him to bed.
DH now has the cold. Yesterday, despite it being Saturday and me still being a bit ill and totally knackered, I go up with DS, did his breakfast, washed him, dressed him, spent the whole day looking after him, took him to the park, did the food shopping, cleaned the house, did the laundry and cooked the dinner.
Sunday is my lie in and DH's turn. But come this morning and he says he is "too ill" to get up. So here I am. I won't get a lie in or a rest till next Sunday and I am back at work tomorrow. Still ill and I could really have done with just a little rest.
I know DH is ill, I have had it all week. It's a nasty one. But he doesn't have to go to work and he has Monday and Tuesday all to himself to lie in bed and get better.
All he had to do was get up with DS and sort him out for a couple of hours while I got some rest, then he could have gone back to bed for the rest of the day.
I am so annoyed. Arrgh. I needed to vent.
