If a man has flu he gets the day off work just like that ! But if the sahp feels really unwell they just have to muddle through ! Is this normal in other households ? I feel absolutely horrendous less then two weeks till I have baby and I’ve got either a really nasty cold or flu! I don’t expect him to stay home all the time I just feel Awful!
I asked partner if he could ask for the day off given that I need to rest as much as I can and be well to have our baby and he was adamant no his boss wouldn’t let him however i remember him being “ sent home “ for a cold many months ago ! How is it fair ? I’m just having a moan whilst I struggle to get out of bed to have a fun filled day with my little ones! X

I would say that OP has probably realised exactly what a jizz stain she's married to and that berating her for having another child with him isn't going to make her feel any better than she feels already.

Totally shit situation OP.
Maybe after DC3 has arrived, some time after, bring some changes with how you're treated in your marriage.
Use your hormones for courage but also, try and remember to stop if you let him have it.
