My “D”H and I were due to attend a wedding today. On Wednesday night DS3 became very unwell, unmanageable temp& bad cough. Went to GP Thursday and he has a bad chest infection prescribed steroids and antibiotics. I told DH I wouldn’t be able to attend wedding as I don’t ask grandparents to mind sick children. That was fine he seemed unbothered.
Come Friday I became very unwell. The same symptoms but with total exhaustion on top of it as DS had not slept for the last few nights. I was barely able to get myself to the doctor as I was so weak and faint from temp and coughing. I collected my prescription for steroids, antibiotics, inhalers. While in the pharmacy DH called to get me to collect his suit for the wedding while I was out. I explained how sick I was, how there was no parking, it was raining heavily and most importantly I didn’t think he could attend as I could barely stand up and couldn’t be at home alone to take care of two DC in the state I was in. He insisted I collect the suit. In the car on the way home I vomited profusely and was barely able to keep my eyes open. When I got home and said this his only response was did you get my suit. Roll on last night and second DC 14m has come down with the same dose, poor thing is miserable cried all night. I told DH he categorically could not go to the wedding we are all on knees here and I cannot capably mind sick DC. Only when I said if you go to the wedding don’t come back here did he relent.
I am devastated he has not shown any concern for me or DC. I am rarely sick. He thinks I BU for not asking grandparents to come help so he can go to a former colleagues wedding. I think he is BU for being so uncaring and selfish.
