To be totally and utterly fed up?

[QuestionableMouse]

I have flu - proper flu, not a bad cold. I feel like absolute and utter crap.

My sister is hosting me and our parents for Christmas day and has been utterly awful towards me for the last couple of days because I'm really struggling. Highlights include "I'm wallowing in self pity" and "I'm fucking ruining Christmas by being so soft"

She has a cold and keeps snapping at me that she's not well either. I've cried more over the past few days than I have in ages with her. Not even sure why I'm posting, just need to vent I guess.

I have the same virus and it’s floored me.

Can you leave? Honestly, just go home.

Well hopefully her cold will develop and she can eat her words! Hardly your fault you’re poorly. Yes disappointing for her but no need to be bitchy about it.

Hope you’re feeling better soon.

I'm currently sitting in the car waiting for my parents before going to my sister's. Dreading it tbh.

You need to go home to bed.

Her unpleasant comments are hardly acting as a pick-me-up.

I genuinely can't remember feeling this unwell on absolutely ages.

I have a cold and have removed myself from all festivities- at home with the dogs, drinking a hot toddy and reading my new book.

Drop your parents and then go and make yourself comfortable at home. If you’ve got flu, you can’t be out socialising.

Just go home.

You are a grown up. No one will thank you for spreading your virus and your sister is just pissed as she is hosting and can't pull out

Don’t go. Go back home and go to bed.

Your sister does sound like she’s being an arse but I would honestly rather someone stayed away than drag themselves along and be a misery guts!

I've had flu and it would have been impossible to attend any kind of gathering. Could barely manage to go downstairs. It turned into pleurisy which didn't go for a month.
Go home. Rest.

The Clash song "should I stay, or should I go" is swimming around in my head now!

Ah op, it really is a nasty one. I'm on week 3 and have never been hit this hard by a virus (apart from covid). Hope you start to feel better soon. Look after yourself and rest as much as you can.

Go home. There's loads of people with flu just now, you need to get some rest and recover.

Sneeze on her and go home. Stop being a martyr. You're not well, go home to bed.

I haven't felt this unwell in ages- but going to see my parents for dinner. Wtf is wrong with you? Honestly go home!

Hosting with a cold isn't much fun either. Your sister should have cancelled or postponed instead of behaving like a martyr and directing her anger at you.

You both should just be resting and recovering.

Why are you even considering spreading your nasty germs with your family?

I feel your pain. I’ve been knocked out by this flu. Woke Saturday morning and I couldn’t move, cold/hot feeling, body felt like it was bruised all over, headache. Never felt so rough. Thankfully my 17 year old dd kept my toddler Ds entertained whilst I rested. I didn’t get out of bed for three days. All my Christmas preparation and fun activities lost. Still not 100% and Dh is having to do the dinner. Thankfully my DD is at her dad’s today and toddler is happy with his presents so I can continue to rest. Tomorrow when my DD is back we will have our ‘Christmas day’ .
if you have the same type of flu, you really need to be resting. Maybe explain to your sister you need to lie down for a few hours. It’s not nice of her to make you feel worse

Stay at home. Infecting your parents with the flu isn’t a good idea.

Why are you doing that? Why haven't you stayed in bed? You're ill. You will blight their christmas and be a misery and she will upset you and make you cry more and feel worse. It's madness not to just take yourself back to bed and rest until you're feeling better. You're an adult, use your agency and be sensible about it.

Go back to bed and rest. Flu can develop into something quite serious, and anyhow, you would not want to make others sick. I hope you feel better soon OP (says she who is finally getting over a horrific cold).

Please don't go to your DPs and give them the flu Op. Tell your lovely Sis to do one and stay at home.

Just go home, no need to put up with the sniping.

Jeez, just stay home

I had more aches, pains and general symptoms with the flu two weeks ago than I had with COVID in 2020 so full sympathy for you OP.

Honestly if you're not feeling great tell your sister to go f herself and do your own thing. Take yourself off to bed or do a simple dinner if you feel up to it. Just because she's also unwell doesn't give her the right to treat you badly.

Hope you feel better soon
