My husband is out at an event today in relation to his hobby and will come home about 5 to change and then head out with with friends for the night. All this was pre planned. On Friday ds was sick and I had to take a day off work to care for him. He continued being sick all day yesterday and now dd 18 months is also being sick with d and v. AIBU to expect DH to cancel his plans tonight to help with the constant changing of clothes. In normal circumstances I'd be fine but I'm 37 weeks pregnant. Not sure if I should suck it up or ask

Why was it you taking the day off yesterday too? Why didn't he?

My husband wouldn’t have pissed off for the day if I was that pregnant, let alone with 2 ill children too.

He’s had the day for his hobby, now he can help out so that you can relax and finish growing the baby xx

zofloraqueen do you realise that your op reads as though the children aren't your husband's?

So you are still working at 37 weeks but do the bulk of the weekend childcare alone? Just, wow! I think I would be calling your DH and telling him he needs to head home now.

Hope the DC are better very soon.

YADNBU!! He should actually offer though!

What @SheRasBra says!

Did he stay home OP???

BusyMum47 · 29/10/2018 16:46

You absolutely should expect your husband to stay home & help with that - especially as he's been out all day enjoying his hobby & you could go into labour at any minute!! In fact, I'd expect him to stay home at this point in your pregnancy regardless of puking children!!!! Tell him he has no choice - you need him! It's mega selfish of him not to have even considered buggering off out again!!
