Here’s the scenario… Child has been unwell last two days.
Hasn’t been at school, I’m WFH here, while DS is resting.
High temp going to bed. Starts vomiting at 3am.
I call DH in to help (he’s asleep in bed), sick is coming fast.
Storms in. Ask him to switch on the light, my hands are wet.
Starts huffing & puffing, swearing etc… Fucking great.
I say to go into kitchen & get the big plastic bowl.
I’m instructing, not saying please, thank you, just do it.
He starts kicking off, here we go. The anger is here!
Meanwhile, I need help mopping vomit, cleaning DS etc…
He’s complaining “don’t speak to me like that”
”I’m only just up!” Yeah “Don’t use that tone with me!”
He’s gone back to bed now, DS is on the sofa dozing.
I’m up doing the bed sheets etc… This is it for me.
It’s been like this since DS was a baby. I have to ask nicely.
Things have been bad lately.. I can’t pretend at Christmas.
