Kids with no respect

[Movingtodarkestperu]

Honestly. I've been so ill with a stomach bug for the last 2 days and I was just starting to come round and feel human again when DS 5 had the absolute cheek to be sick at school. Honestly. Why can't kids just let you be ill in peace every now and then?! Now I have to adult until his dad comes home from work!

Respect?

Oh dear

So you made your kid sick and now you want to complain that you need to parent that sick 5 year old? I’m sorry you’re ill, but suck it up - YABVVVU.

I admire your sense of humour under the circumstances OP. Hope you’re feeling better soon.

Jeez people its a joke!

It’s clearly a joke.

You’d think it was obvious… 🤦🏼‍♀️

I used to dread that. You just knew it would be 2 weeks of hell as it passed around each child. Get well soon and do the bare min.

I’d take away all his treats as a punishment.

Most people joking in AIBU make that clear by saying lighthearted. I’ve read numerous posts these last few days about parents no longer wanting their kids, so if it doesn’t say lighthearted I’m assuming they’re serious.

Eye roll

Oh you have my sympathy OP. I still remember, with flashbacks, when all five of mine simultaneously came down with a sick bug... Those were Grim Times.

Really?

I would have thought that people would be able to tell a thread is quite clearly a joke without a bloody lighthearted disclaimer.

I think you need to take some time off away from mn

⚠️⚠️⚠️OP humour alert, OP humour alert ⚠️⚠️⚠️

YANBU OP, how very dare the darling sprog besmirch your convelescent period so inconsiderately!

I hope the bug buggers off quickly for you all.

What a fun weekend you have ahead of you!

We're in a similar situation here at the moment, so I feel your pain. Although this is nothing compared to the time I had gastro, my husband was away for work and I had an exclusively breastfed baby to take care of. I remember feeding on the toilet!

Wow

You know why? Because as a mother you can never just have anything to yourself.

Jeez the comments on this post! Classic Mumsnet humour that the newbies don’t get.. LTB OP

Don't they say sharing is caring lol

Yes- I probably should have put tongue in cheek or something.

How is the recovery going? I hear sense of humour bypass operations are super complex! Have a lovely Friday!

“You can’t have anything of your own in this house!” (Not even D&V)

My oft-repeated martyr-mum mantra. Hope you’re all on the mend soon OP.

🤣🤣🤣🤣 the worst bit is the demands for toast and peppa pig now the calpol has kicked in
Disclaimer for all readers (not longleggy as she clearly gets me) I gave him calpol for the temperature he had. I used a thermometer to check that. I know calpol doesnt cure sick
