He hinders not helps

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.

Yeah. Tiring. Your ill child is your priority and thats made him pissy. Immature and downright nasty. . Ask him why he was more concerned with your tone than his own son's health. No, don't do that. You know already.

Realistically its nearly 2 weeks till Xmas so spend this time planning, getting stuff in order, communicating with relevant help etc.

Good luck. You can do it.

I'm sorry OP, that sounds very tough.

It sounds like you walk on eggshells around him. I would have a chat with Women's Aid about your relationship and see if it's abusive.

Once you know where you are, you can work out how to move forward.

I’m so sorry. What a selfish prick. I can’t imagine how he justifies this behaviour to himself (but he does). The entitlement of these kinds of men leaves me speechless.
