To be a tiny bit ticked off with DH & his Man Flu?

I came down with a cold last wednesday and felt like sh*t.. with DH working nights, it meant i had to deal with 15mo teething DS on my own, despite being sick.

All i got was an hours lie in between 8.30 & 9.30am before DH needed to go to bed.

While sick, i had to go do xmas shopping for Step-daughter and family so we could mail the presents to Ireland, and cook dinner on top of having DS to deal with.

DH finally came down with cold yesterday and has spent all day today in bed dying of man flu.. leaving me with DS.

AIBU to think its a bit unfair that i was expected to just get on with it while being poorly, while he thinks its ok to lay in bed and get his dinner cooked for him???

this has happened to me before and I felt exactly like you, and gave dh no sympathy.
then about 5 days later came down with the shittiest most horrible flu-cold virus that obv dh had and gave to me. then he rubs it in saying that was how he felt!

don't cook dinner if you feel shit. I let everything go exceot the childcare!

Isn't this most men?? Dp exactly like this - moaned at me for waking him at the unearthly hour of 8.30 this morning (the day he's supposed to give me a break), and then said he had a headache from being woken suddenly, and would have to stay in bed longer!

Also once bumped his elbow on the wall, and immediately (and in all seriousness) fashioned a sling for his arm from a shirt!!!!

Yet I must struggle on through anything. V frustrating
