Literally zero sympathy for Dh and his 'flu'

[Wishfulmakeupping]

Jesus Christ it's a bad cold.
Today's his only day off this week I've got an MA deadline on fri he promised he'd look after ds this afternoon but he's been in his pit since eating a massive lunch.
I'm going to end up doing school run,dinner time bath time and bedtime solo now and then have to do a load of work. Plus ds bday party this weekend loads to do no breaks 😩 But DH is sooooooo ill 🤔

second sarcastic and sexist thread on the same topic today.

Good work!

How is it sexist it's not based on him being a man it's based on him using a mild illness as a excuse to have a rest on his day off while run around like a fool getting everything sorted

[eyeroll]

So you think he's faking it?

Maybe speak to him about it rather than moaning on here?

TBH, probably not the flu if he ate a massive lunch, as the OP states.

*@QuestionableMouse * did I miss the point of AIBU?

YANBU. If he's eaten a 'massive lunch' then he can't be that ill surely.

@meatloaf

How is it sexist?

OP is right, he doesn't have flu.

Exactly! Genuinely that ill food is the last thing on your mind

@OhNoOhNo

Did he claim he did?

@meatloaf what are you on about?

And are you posting as meatloafy on the trans thread about the silver medal winner?

Yes he's 'got the flu' apparently so he's had to rest all afternoon/early evening while I've done everything to get the kids ready for bed now the youngest is asleep and I'm settling the eldest he's back up again 🤔

He's in the fucking kitchen now 😡 He's got a good appetite for someone so poorly

How is it sexist?! how annoying Op, i feel for you

You should have gone out to do your coursework - cafe, library, anywhere.

Are you working on your MA or your MN?

I’ve had flu this week - I’ve still done the school run (because someone has to) but I’ve literally eaten nothing. I had some chocolate and it tasted like sick, I had a bite of pizza and it tasted like it was made of pure sugar.

Sometimes I can eat while hungry.

I really don’t get where sexism comes into this though..? Op didn’t say ‘man flu’. Did you misread?

Oh ffs eat while I’m poorly!

I would be fuming op

I've always been told by my DH that it's only a proper flu if there's a £100 note lying on the floor and you can't find the strength to bend down and pick it up

The massive lunch and the being up and about says it's not flu. Heavy cold.
Good luck with your studies, op. So sorry you've got this obstacle to getting there. Hope your DP gets better soon and that you don't get it.

I can always eat when I’m ill I used to hate my mum saying’you cant be that ill blah blah’ I felt like lamping her.

Not saying he's not a bit poorly but that ain't flu. Not if he can get up and not if he can eat anything.
