Ds has an ear infection and his eardrum burst at the weekend. I've somehow managed to catch a throat infection and this ear infection too and am in agony.
Dh is a director of a company and very busy. I woke him this morning at 6.45am to get him to help with the school run as I've not slept and was in so much pain I was crying. He normally puts up a fight if I'm ill and finds a way to get out of helping but today he took dd to nursery for the morning, he said he had to cancel a meeting over it. Ds ended up staying home with me as he's still not 100%.
Dh wasn't happy about it, but agreed to go pick her up too. Nursery is about a 7 minute drive from dhs work.
Anyway we've just had a blazing row because I've found she's gotten home and he hadn't handed back her folder (which was to be handed into her teacher today) despite me asking very clearly, he's left her nursery bag and drink there too. This is usual for him, when relied on he regularly sends the kids to school without coats in freezing weather, without lunch or drinks. It's wearing bloody thin.
Anyway i went to grab some ibuprofen only to find he'd finished the packet this morning (I asked him to bring me some before he went to work) and hadn't bothered to tell me and I was now in pain and having to drag both kids to the pharmacy whilst delirious with earrache. I would have gone several hours before if I'd realised he'd used the last ones before the pain came back.
He then launched at me that he'd moved heaven and earth to do her nursery run even though its nowhere near as important as his work stuff. I went ballistic because I already feel he's very hands off with the kids and just leaves everything to me unless I beg for help.
He reckons I need to get over myself and go to the pharmacy stop whingeing and that it's just an earrache. He made a sarcastic comment saying "well done you for shouting at me - your earrache can't be that bad can it" he went on to tell me how I don't do anything for him etc (despite me having both kids most of today, changing the bedding, doing 2 dishwasher loads to name a few things) Well I've just been to the doctors (with both kids in tow again)only to find I've got a burst eardrum because of the infection. They've given me cocodamol for the pain so tonight should hopefully be more bearable.
Aibu to be pissed off that if he needs a day off due to illness he lays in bed all day with me bringing him food drinks and medicine, and can always rely on me to take the kids when he's got a dental appointment or doctors appt etc? Yet when I need some support it's a case of 'get your big girl pants on'
