To realise that I can predict my own bad luck!

[Groundhogliving22]

I am just wondering if it is a mum thing or if it is just a me thing because I am starting to think it’s both.

apologises if this is long.. I feel like I can predict my own bad luck because honestly I can think of how time is going to go and then it happens. My little boy was sick last week with a sickness bug and by Saturday he was fine which made me think thank god my week off work next week might be alright. Monday we returned the children to nursery and preschool and I’ve booked the week off to be productive so I had a massive long list of to do stuff.

fast forward to this morning little girl is now sick and I’m not feeling my best and the week before I ever take annual leave i predicate something like this is going to happen and it does.

if my DH ever takes annual leave his week is fine & his plans remain intact and it just makes me blood boil 😡

So my AIBU is- is this a mum thing and we never get a break or is it is a me thing? And AIBU for thinking this never happens to DH who books annual leave and he always gets his time 😩

Wtf am I reading? One kid was ill with a highly contagious illness then a few days later the other kid got ill too.

What are the odds of that?? You're literally Nostradamus, OP!

I get what you're mean OP. I feel like this shit happens to me as well.

Like getting hair done for a night out and it starts to piss down. Or long awaited plans happening and a mega shit cold hits husband a week before so you know the chances of being ill for said thing are high. Or your period coming early when both you and husband have booked AL while the kids are at school type of thing and then lasts for the entire week rather than the 3 days you're used to.

It's fun

@orwellwasright wow sarcastic much?! I just meant that it happens whenever I am on annual leave rather than when my DH is off. Plus there were 72 hours in between DS recovering and DD getting sick so it wasn’t in the realm of impossibility that I might get my long awaited break.

my DH doesn’t get it either because he’s sees it as wouldn’t I rather the kids be sick whilst I am already off rather than taking extra time and that I can still be productive as well. I said I booked a week so that I could take a relaxed approach to being productive and that my week didn’t involve doing more washing because a child is sick again 😭
