to want dh to come home after work?

[chachachachacha]

DH is at work this weekend.
I'm ill and have been all week and could do with a bit of help with dd.
He'll finish work at about 8ish and is then going out to a work colleagues wedding reception. I'm too ill to go.

AIBU to want him to come home and look after me (and dd)rather than going to a wedding reception? I feel like shit and have no energy.

I don't know. Is you DD so young she won't be asleep after 8 anyway? What sort of stuff could he be doing to help from 8 onwards.

It is miserable being poorly when you're on your own though.

Cchachacha......

Have the bride and groom had to pay for food etc for him/you tonight? Maybe he feels obliged? YANBU but maybe he feels bad on both counts? Not going and leaving you?

So sorry you're feeling like shite. V hard when all you want to do is crawl to bed but not an option with DD.

Will DD be in bed early enough for you to have a hot bath and snuggle into bed before he comes back after the wedding? Maybe use the time you are alone to sleep?

Yes - I think he does feel obliged - good point re: bride and groom catering.

Luckily DD has been amusing herself in the garden collecting bugs and coming in every now and again to give me a cuddle.

Will try and get dd into bed earlier tonight (although she loves staying up with me on a saturday night!) and then crash.

unless you are very ill yabu

Now feel v guilty for moaning - dh is still at work and won't be able to make the wedding reception either. He has to get up at 4.30am for work tomorrow so will have bugger all sleep before doing another shift.

even if you have a sniffle and a headache yanbu at all because you've not been well for over 7 days now, that alone takes its toll, that number of days not being well is bad for you to not have a decent rest, even if its a day in bed.

if i knew anybody had come to my wedding leaving an unwell partner at home to look after a young child i would feel awful and send them home with some buffet food/cake.

things like this matter.

YANBU but realistically, could you and DD not both go to bed, let her watch TV or read to you or something and just relax, dosed up with meds?
Hope you feel lots better very soon
