I feel like death, but hubby always worse

[Disneyblueeyes]

I feel dreadful. Really heavy cold and can feel a sinus infection coming.
Hubby down with same thing but he's much worse and in bed.
I'm trying to get toddler fed and put to bed and keeping the house going while feeling rotten.
I just want to curl up on the sofa to be honest.

Every time this happens DH is always worse than me and I have to keep the plates spinning.
Nothing against my hubby really as he always gets bugs worse than me, it's just bloody typical isn't it?

Hand hold please!
(A bit light hearted also).

I almost feel like having a large glass of wine would actually help me right now.

I could have written your post op. See also: he's ill so often that by the time I'm ill, there is no paracetamol or ibuprofen left in the house.

And also, on the very rare occasion I'm ill, the expectation is that I'll more or less carry on as normal but if not, i'll be back on my feet the following day.

I had a massive row with him last week when i was feeling absolutely lousy and he just stropped around the place in a foul mood, huffing and puffing and then denying he was in a foul mood when I mentioned it. I've since been put on steroids and antibiotics for a nasty chest infection that didn't respind to the first lot of antibiotics. Have pretty much carried on as normal, even bought myself paracetamol as part of the food shop.

He's not useless, far from it. And he's very capable of being nice and sympathetic. But the selfishness and massive double standards does make me furious.

I had shingles earlier this year and felt like death. DH was really quite disappointed when he discovered you can't catch shingles from someone with shingles and therefore he couldn't claim to have it worse than me.

Oh, and there's a reason why the women bear the children. We're incredibly strong and resilient.
