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!

Tea and sympathy coming your way. Sorry about gastro gate too!

Unfortunately some people wouldn't recognise a joke if it danced naked in front of them singing "hilarious jokes are here again"

You absolutely do not have to put “lighthearted” to make it clear it’s a joke. I’ve been on MN for almost two decades,

Most people on MN have enough about them to understand when things are humorous.

💯 They're very selfish.

OP I think you need to tell your son that because you are also ill, he must look after you and put your favourite programmes on and serve you. 😁 Good luck! Kids being ill when you are too sucks. Hope your husband gets home soon and you get a rest.

As a punishment for this impertinence the child does not get to have the TV. Therefore, you can have it to watch whatever you want.

Feel better soon.

God, there's some right humourless people on here this afternoon. Go and suck a lemon why don't you🍋

You got 2 whole days? Sheesh! Mothers these days are so entitled.

In my day when we got d&v, we had to walk uphill to the loo in both directions carrying all ten children.

He’s probably faking it.

Perhaps they need "warning - coffee may be hot" signs too.
@Movingtodarkestperu i hope you both feel better soon.

Just wait till the dressing gown of doom makes an appearance

Im just grateful he didnt throw up in FIls car on way home. I would have been persona non gratis for a long time if he had 🤣

I am very slow with recognising humour, ASD, but the OP was very clearly humour even to me.

Oh, how very dare he! So inconsiderate! Cancel Christmas as punishment!

Just a bit of unsolicited advice, if they’re sick in bed make sure you swill all the lumps off before putting the sheets in the washer dryer or you end up with something resembling woodchip wallpaper. Hope you’re all feeling better soon.

Thats good advice. We have, unfortunately, had sick before (older ds as well). Main worry is he has thrown up in bed before and either not woken up or not told us. He seems to be feeling better as hes been zooming round and demanding toast lol

Yes really - it’s been horrible to read so to go quite literally from a thread where a woman was saying she didn’t want to parent her baby anymore to this, I took it at face value.
