To ask for help with DD while im unwell?

[mmmbagels]

I'm really not feeling well today. Tmi but I've been clung to the toilet bowl in both senses all night. My stomach is agony and I puke Everytime I stand up. DH just had this, took time off of work and didn't get out of bed for 48 hours other than to go to the loo. He wasn't expected to do anything because he was unwell.

I asked him to help me today as I'm really not well but he insisted he can't stay and I'll just have to deal with DD. I've asked anyone else I can think of but everyone is unable to have her.

AIBU to be pissed that DH got to lie in bed all day when he was sick but that I have to look after a teething, just started cruising 8 month old while trying not to puke or shit myself?

This is the first time I've been sick since DD was born. I don't really know how to work around it. Any tips would be great.

YANBU especially since he’s just had it and took to bed but expects you to deal with your DD! What if she gets it?

He’s being a dick.

Hope you feel better soon x

Being ill when you are at home with children (SAHM/Mat leave) is, in my view, the worst thing about being a SAHM/Mat leaver. As you say if you worked you’d probably have childcare and could go back to bed!

So your plan is to survive today. Ask your partner to prepare food/snacks/bottles for 8 month old before they go if they are still around.

If you’ve been ill all night you may be ok in the sense it’s all out (you will just feel awful).

I would confine yourself to either living room or bedroom with dd.

You need to rehydrate so sips of water and then I find sugary drinks. If you can manage food later think plain stuff.

The TV is your friend. When she naps you can sleep.

You will survive - it just sucks!

Yanbu. The last time I was that ill dh cancelled 8 internal meetings to stay home. I slept most of the day and don't think I would have been safe to be in charge of a baby. But dh has always been good at taking his share of the flack for dd sick days etc.

Make a bed on the floor of the living room (assuming you have a downstairs loo) so dd can crawl around and you can doze and die.

Does he have specific meetings or anything that stop him coming home early.
