To expect partner to clean whilst ill

[Dreamitaway]

My partner and myself have caught a horrible chest infection. We're both on antibiotics at the moment, however, I've still had to work despite this.

My partner has had wed, Thurs and Friday off work and has done very little housework, it's tip here and I now I'm expected to do this on the weekend whilst I have the kids. The kids have been in school during the week and I'm just annoyed that this has all been left to me.

I'm well aware that this is very petty, but I'm just frustrated and ill as hell and I feel like he could have done more.

Im trying not to say any of this to him because I know it's not nice when you're ill, I'm just annoyed that it all falls on me now.

Oops sorry, see he's working on the weekend.

But still, lower your housework standards. Let him moan - tell him you need recuperation time.

Who knew that the term lady week would be the main vocal point of this post 🤣

I'm leaving the housework, I'm going to rest and try to keep my eyes closed so I don't see it😅 thanks all.

I'm with you on this OP it's unfortunate but when your ill and have kids things still need doing eg cleaning, tidying, cooking you can't just lay about all day and if you've been at work he should still be doing the bare minimum hope you both feel better soon though! Xx

'should have fucking done it while you were off work then' would be my answer, along with 'since we don't do housework when we're Ill, it can wait till I'm not'.

Can't stand men like that me.

Good!! It's amazing what you can glance over once you try! (my housekeeping tip of the day )
