To think parents are being weird?

[redrobin123]

Mum and dad very kindly look after DC's (2 and 6m) on a Wednesday, as I'm currently on maternity leave they come round or I go to them and we all do something together.

Last week DD1 had a stomach bug (d&v) and they came round no issue and helped out.

I've now caught the bug from DD1, DH is out with mates tonight and knows I'm poorly but my mum has taken umbridge with the fact he hasn't come home to help out, I didn't ask him to as he goes out very rarely and didn't know want to ruin it for him. I've got the same tummy bug running I the bathroom every 5 mins and feeling really ill.

Dad has just phoned and said they won't be able To help tomorrow as he has important business meetings Thursday and Friday and doesn't want to get sick. Told me to ask DH to take the day off.

He's been around DC and me at the weekend as we all went out. AIBU to think he's doing this as they're both annoyed with my husband?

I really appreciate them helping out every week but I genuinely need them this week? What do you think?

I'm with the parents on this. You're sick at home with two babies. So your husband has to stay and help you out. He can go out after you get better, it's not like it's his last chance in a lifetime to go partying.

Your parents aren't being weird, you and your DH are.

It's genuinely lovely that you've got used to such terrific support from your parents. You are both taking the piss a bit, if necessary then DH needs to take time off to support his family.

I would be annoyed by your husband too. Your parents are right. They dont want to catch it themselves so It's down to your husband to step up to the plate. Your parents cant always be emergency back up, they are not responsible for your children.

You're pissed off with the wrong people.

The vows are literally in sickness and in health.

If you need help this week, it's your husband who should be there for you and his children.

Even your parents are trying to prove a point then it's a bloody good point to prove.

I think you're asking a lot of your parents and your DH needs to get his priorities right.

Thanks everyone for your feedback! General consensus is parents are in the right so thanks for setting me straight. I'm just feeling very sorry for myself and being a spoiled brat!

Probably do need to put my foot down with DH a bit he is an amazing husband and dad and does loads, so this is probably my fault for not emphasising I was coping very well.

Sorry that should say wasn't coping very well.

I don't blame your parents I have picked up various bugs from my GC and DD an di always get them worse than they do, an dam ill for longer than them if your parents have important meetings coming up I can understand why they are being careful.

I agree with your parents. Also, your DH needs to step up.

Dh priority should be you and his dc,not an evening out.

It's not up to your parents to jump in I'm afraid.
As adults we grow up and move out for a reason op

You're not being a spoiled brat but you're annoyed with the wrong person. If your husband doesn't realise how unwell you are, I'd text him now and let him know you're going to need him to take a day off work tomorrow.

Don't wait until he gets home pissed!
