AIBU to be severely f^^cked off with DH? DD4 and I had horrendous D and V bug starting Thursday night. Up all night puking every 20 mins or so. Friday morning DH has to take DD1 to physio as she has extra needs. I’m watching paw patrol on sofa with eye mask on and desperate to sleep. Not his fault though that DH was out. Upon his return moans how much work he has to do so disappears upstairs even tho I told him he needs to take the day off. Eventually put my foot down and tell him I need to lie down, so I got an hour in bed before whining and crying for me. DD is bored of tv so I have to play with her whilst DH goes to shops to buy supplies for his friend who was coming over that night (even though I said bad idea). DH starts puking an hour in to his friends visit, wisely friend leaves. I don’t get enough sleep but am up with girls 6:30am this morning. He insists he can’t get out of bed all day. We run out of meds so ask him to call a friend to go to shops and get some , he refuses so is suddenly able to get dressed and go to shop, I am fuming. I have been negative and bitchy to him all day and he gets angry and frustrated back and says I wasn’t clear how ill I was yesterday or he’d had done more to help! The fact I told him constantly I was ill and could barely stand or talk wasn’t enough apparently! His dying swan routine today is unbareable, whilst I don’t doubt he is poorly it’s his lack of capability to manage two girls yesterday when he felt well that also really gets me!

Nope, not men. Just your one....

And just for info, I haven't had a days sick in over 20 years. Some people, not just men, get sick regularly. Some people, not just men, pull sickies.

But it's understandable that you're hacked off with your OH.

Your DH seems to be hamming it up at best, actively lying about sickness at worst

My (male) partner doesn’t act like that. You’re not unreasonable to be annoyed with your husband though.
