Why are men incapable of growing up?

[Plinkyplonk]

To expect dh to grow up.

I've been ill since last Friday with a viral throat/chest infection and through it all I've managed to look after house/kids etc, though I have had a couple of days where all I've done is empty dishwasher etc, the house has been tidy etc.

DH has come down with what I had and all I have heard since this morning is him huffing, puffing and sighing, he disappeared to bed this morning and went mad if the kids went in (I did spend the afternoon in bed the other day, BUT, I'd been sent home from work and the kids were in school and I got up before they got home)

I told him earlier that I felt as if I had an anxiety attack coming on and he said 'well?, but I feel poorly', he has done NOTHING etc, when i was ill he didn't even so much as make me a cup of tea, but I've been making him hot drinks with honey all day, not even to be met with a thank you.

I still don't feel 100% but know that for the next few days I'll be running after him, doing housework and looking after the kids. AND I bet he makes a miraculous recovery for the pool match on Tuesday night.

Just needed to get it off my chest

Take him up a nice hot cup of tea. Throw back the duvet and pour the hot tea all over his bits, smiling sweetly. Then ask him how he feels.

(Not really advocating ABH, but it might make you feel better thinking about it.)

LOL I was very very tempted with the last cup of tea I took him.

I am dreading going to bed, he will insist on cuddling me all night (even when I push him off) then will lie facing me and breathing all over me

Happens everytime i have a cold, am expected to solider through but when DP has one... low and behold, its the worse cold ever known to man! But we still do the caring bit... suckers aren't we!

Tell him he is snoring far too loud for cuddles etc, and really one of you will have to sleep inspare room/on sofa whatever spare bed arrangements you have.......

dh really suffers when he has a cold

he has a really annoying throat-clearing noise

he sniffs very loudly and worst of all, at night he sits up in bed and groans

I move into the spare room, the bed is always made and ready, it's quieter!

oh an he leaves a trail of snotty tissues wherever he goes.

Times like this I wish we had a spare room.

I've already had to put a snotty tissue in the bin today.... why can't men notice where the bins are and use them !!!!!?????

It's not the first time Iv'e used this and it won't be the last -
