AIBU To be completely pissed off?

My house looks like an post apocalyptic world. It is so bad that Will Smith has just walked passed my front door with a dog holding what looks like a vaccine syringe.....

Both kids (5&6m) have a stinking cold. DH yesterday said that he was getting it. Cue descriptions of: "Head feels like it's in a vice/stinging at back of nose and throat/someone is sitting on his chest". He has man flu of the most appalling proportions. Still went to the football yesterday though. Leaving at 9am and not returning until 5pm.....he only had 2.5 pints though (heaven forbid). I text him yesterday and said that he would have to take the kids down to his parents tomorrow for a visit and enable me to try to organise/sort/tidy/anti bac the house.

This morning after lots of moaning, groaning, sniffing and basic lolloping in bed (where he still is) I got the (voice of a dying man) "I don't think I'm going to be able to do anything today, I feel so rough. You will have to take care of the kids today" speech.

WTF??!!!! When I have a cold I don't get to lie in fucking bed all day. I have to just get on with it. I am so angry as its left me with no realistic chance of sorting my hell hole of a house until after the new year now (got 2 KIT days at work Mon and Tues).

AIBU to want to smack him in the mouth?? 🤬

Yes, crap timing but I'm down to basic SMP Jan pay day so need to up my game with them. Payroll have to have them in by the 2nd of Jan to get them in my paycheck so needs must! 🙄

I’d bloody tell him and assign jobs. You have to get on when you’re ill, so tough shit on him.

@Gemm83 I get you now. I had to do that to the living room yesterday. I'm pretending the kids rooms are ok and not looking in them .😂
I'm in the same boat as you with KIT days. I did one Friday 🙈 crap isn't it.

YANBU. I cannot abide the 'man-flu" attitude and I'm so very lucky that DP gets that he has responsibilities too and cannot just lollop around in bed. I have only ever known him do this once with food poisoning/bug, and I was thankful he stayed out of the way and kept his germs contained.

Make him get up and do his fair share. Make him a lemsip if absolutely necessary then send him away with DCs to do whatever they need to do to not be in your way.

And if that fails, rally some of the girls and go to the pub!
