Husband has a cold... zero Christmas joy

[coco7676]

I was dreading DH getting a cold aka the end of the fucking world! However, my god it has happened and the pre Christmas joy has been hoovered out of the house.
I’m being very unreasonably unsympathetic and I can’t say it out loud which is why I’m saying on here... I just need to vent my frustration as I can’t do it to anyone else!!!

I saw a very unrealistic advert today of a wife lovingly rubbing Vicks into her husband’s chest... haha not likely. Get him some lemsip and tell him to get on with it.

I feel for your DH I too have very heavy cold. Feel like death to be fair. What makes it worse it's going to be high 40's for the next four days where I am😩. Christmas can just disappear as far as I'm concerned.

He has lemsip (vile with no real benefit) refused all offer of the actual pills which will make him feel better... he has no crack, needs feeding and I’m thinking of just getting rip roar pissed!!! If only I didn’t have to do ALL the flippin shopping and tarting the house tomorrow!

Oh god I’m sorry you are feeling crappy, I’m not minimising how shit a heavy cold can be. I’m just furious that I’m being held in a miserable house

I understand I'm sure it's awful being stuck with a misery guts.

Grrrr I feel for you xx

We've had this in ours last weekend it was him. Fed up for for 3/4 days. I then caught it and as colds go it was fine just a couple of days at it's worse. Still managed to do what I needed!

Nothing worse than a giant man child with a tiny little cold. So boring and tedious. Tell him to stay in bed and get on with your Christmas

The dramatic sneezes and coughs just boil my piss... and obviously all the food shopping cannot be possibly done with him as he is so ill...

And that’s the thing, I would LOVE to get on with my Christmas but he is being such an atmosphere hoover it’s impossible

How tremendously annoying for you. I don’t know what to suggest. He’ll obviously do fuck all and spend the next few days bringing you down too! Arse!!!! Is there anything you can do to get away from him for your sanity?

Well I plan on getting v tipsy on Prosecco... and ignoring the drama...
maybe I would care more if he was actually nice to me ha!!

I started a cold yesterday. At the moment it's not that bad but I am immune suppressed so it could get worse. However I'm still getting on with my stuff albeit slowly. I had a cold when we went on holiday in the summer too, my immune system doesn't like me!

Yep my DH has woken up with a cold today too, so we’ve had to cancel our plans for today. I know it’s not his fault but can’t help feeling if it was the other way round and I was I’ll I’d make a bit more effort to get on with it. Very unreasonable of me I know!

I’ve not got a cold but instead I have a mouth full of ulcers. I’m being a fun sucker, I know but I can’t talk, can’t eat, can’t drink...it’s miserable. I’m using corsodyl, I have steroid tablets (this is how often I’m plagued by ulcers) and am regularly taking ibuprofen and paracetamol. Nothing is helping. Normally I’m the Christmassy one and instead I just want everyone to bugger off so I can wallow in self pity.
My DH is the grinch so I totally understand how you’re feeling, but because I feel shit, I also understand how your DH is feeling.
Hopefully he’ll be over the worst of it later today/by tomorrow and you can have a lovely Christmas

That advert!

I have a ruptured ear drum and I’m pretty sure I am zapping the Christmas spirit out of my family.

I’m a little sympathetic too having woken up this morning with a stinking cold. I do feel sorry for myself, particularly because of the poor timing, but I have no choice but to dose up and get on with it.
I can understand how frustrating it is for you though, when my DH gets man flu, he’s like a sad, needy little boy for weeks.

My DH has had a cold since Wednesday that rendered him unable to move from the sofa for 5 days, I’m praying it was man flu as I now have it and all the Lemsips are out of date

Both my DSs are sick. DH and I woke up excited today and the two small children are snotty bundles of misery! It turns out nothing is more grinch-like than a four-year-old with a bad cold. He’s made me put the Christmas music off because it hurts his head though apparently CBeebies doesn’t and has refused an offer to open a tree present early because ‘it’s too difficult and I don’t like Christmas any more.’

I feel so sorry for him as he’s been so excited!!
