To think DH can just let me be ill for a day or two?

I’m 12 weeks pregnant with DC2 and I’ve caught DS’s foul chest cold. I have had horrid morning sickness this time around, and the coughing is making me gag and retch.

DH is working from home until Jan on various non-pressing creative projects. Things he needs to do but with no particular urgency - he took himself off to a museum the othe day for a nice outing.

DS finishes nursery in ten minutes. DH looks in the fridge and starts freaking out that there’s nothing for lunch. Then suggests I ‘pick something up’ when I go to collect DS, whose nursery is nowhere near any shops. I initially agree but after about three minutes I realise he’s being a rotten shit and say ‘Can YOU go to the shop while I get DS’ - cue hissy fit from DH about having to put his trousers on and go outside (he’s working in his pants today).

My ears are ringing and I just want to hide under a blanket all day. AIBU to send him to the shop? Is HE BU? And how can I call him on it?!

@GummyGoddess
Take your trousers off and then complain you can't go anywhere either? Grin

How is this different to the two running threads about DHs and their 'man flu' who want to get out of helping with children.

Hmm.

Is there a difference? Just something that could explain the difference of opinions?
