To be slightly (well more than slightly) pissed off

DH and I have got really nasty colds. Coughing, sore throat, headache, tired and achy.
So who is it only me who's up with DS? Why is it okay for DH to lie in bed most of the day while I struggle with the kids?
I told DH I need a hand but he's apparently too ill and wants to stay in bed so he's hopefully okay for work tomorrow?
Where's my day in bed? I'm not just a SAHM I'm a carer to a child with severe SEN but it will still be me up doing everything tomorrow regardless of DH works or not.
Tell me I'm not unreasonable to feel really pissed off with him?

This post could have been written by my DH last week. The reason I wasn't getting up or sharing the workload was because I couldn't stand up. I know you're both sick but is it possible he's sicker?

Hahahahaha.

Yes, sure. Rather than him relying on the default parent.

And again…. Hahahhahahah

I don't know why I read Mumsnet. It just puts me in a bad mood.
