to be slightly hacked off with DH

[drivinmecrazy]

Have really hurt my lower back, since Sunday night it has gradually got worse, so now even walking up the stairs is pretty painful. Have two DDs (4&8) and DH works away Mon-Fri.
I have asked him if he could take a few days off this week to help with school runs etc. He says he's too busy at work but if it gets REALLY bad he will think about taking Friday off.
What is really getting to me is that he hurt his back several years ago, took two weeks off work to rest, doing NOTHING during that time.
I have no family nearby to help and although friends have offered, I feel a bit reluctant when my own DH won't help me.
Worse thing about being a SAHM must be having no sick leave to take

I feel your pain as ive been suffering with back pain since lo was born but i wouldn't ask my dh to take time off work unless i was dieing, his job is too precarious (sp?)
Take your friends offer of help and get your hubby to look after you at the weekend. Hope your feeling better soon.

I agree.

It would be hard for hubby to take days off for this also.

He has a few days owing to him to take before christmas, so he would be more than able to IF he felt the need. He has offered to give me lovely massage Friday evening, which will do bugger all cos I hope to be better by then. Maybe I should just play on it all weekend and take my rest then
