All have or had covid in the last week or two. Dp felt rough for one day that's it, done his isolation and back to work now. I've felt crap cos I had a non covid virus and now covid back to back, thankfully not severely poorly but feeling crappy. Dc have have been okay. Ds was quite poorly for one day then went milder again. Dd hasn't had many symptoms apart from tiredness.
Dp was first to get it. Like I said he felt rough for one day and that's it, lost his smell & taste for 2 days only. He was doing stuff like cutting the grass and gardening etc. He was fine. He didn't isolate in one room cos I was poorly and he was pretty much fine, we have two with additional needs and I couldn't manage it all on my own.
I don't expect mil to ask after me but she's constantly messaging me or Dp asking how he is even though he was fine and now back to work. He's told her he's fine and me and the kids have been worse off with it. But she's still telling him he must rest, take it easy even though he's back to work. Telling me I must do EVERYTHING so Dp can recover even though I've been ill for nearly 2 weeks now. Not once has she asked how the kids, her grandkids are. Just her son. It's odd! He's been the least affected. I get asking after him and being concerned but she's made it all about him.
I think the worst part has been when she dropped off some paracetamol on the door step and spoke from a distance. She told Dp to go back to bed even though he was fine and didn't want to go back to bed. He was barely poorly. Whilst I'm visibly poorly and still doing all the housework etc. Dp has been entertaining the kids and cooking, gardening etc. I've been trying to sort out ordering stuff for Christmas wnd housework.
She's been quite old fashioned in her views for a while now. How the woman should do everything whilst the man just sits around and be waited on. Thankfully Dp does not share that view.
Aibu to feel it's odd? It's her son, she has the right to be worried or concerned but she's just being a little ott when she's been told he is fine multiple times.
She'd be happy to see me ill slaving & sweating away as long as Dp was resting 😅
It was the same when we had our jabs. We had them at similar time. She told me that Dp must rest to prevent side effects, he didn't have any side effects though. But I was wiped out but she still told me to get on with it and let Dp rest 😅😅
