he really is ill. i think he has the same thing i had a few weeks ago and it is really, really horrible

BUT

he has taken a day off work and spent the day in bed (occasionally whimpering) and is now on the sofa so he can shout if he needs anything

i am sahm with 4 kids, one a baby, one at 1/2 day nursery. i had no time off except for 1 school run (i say time off, i still had to look after small 2). i had hardly any sleep cos baby was also ill and i looked after him. i had to trail to school/nursery and back 3 times a day and entertain/feed kids when they were at home.

dh tells me i didnt have flu, it was just a cold

im not annoyed about looking after dh really, just that when im ill its never that important because i dont spend the whole time whinging (cos no one listens). i want to shout at dh to stop whining cos at least he can spend the day in bed which is more than i managed, i didnt even get a lie in. but he is ill so i will shout it at mn instead.

is there a sahm union i can join?
