That's so funny. Maybe that's what I'll say to DH tomorrow: "suck it up, cupcake". Ha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-sympathetic-when-your-so-is-sick#post-590598 Sun, 24 Feb 2013 20:52:49 +0000 KissMeCait 590598@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My husband claims to be sick right now. I call bullshit. He just didn't want to do what we were supposed to do today. He pulls this crap all the time so on the rare occasion that he actually is sick, I have very little sympathy. Suck it up, cupcake. You're not dying. Let's not pretend that you are. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-sympathetic-when-your-so-is-sick#post-590585 Sun, 24 Feb 2013 20:38:54 +0000 mamabolt 590585@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I joke every time my DH gets a cold that with as much as he's complaining it better be terminal. But seriously, he gets a cold and takes 2 days off work. I haven't taken a sick day off work in over 3 years. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-sympathetic-when-your-so-is-sick#post-590573 Sun, 24 Feb 2013 20:29:10 +0000 travelgirl1 590573@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Cherrybee: Aw, you're preg, you're allowed tp be a baby!</p> <p>@TurtleDoves: I played nice until today (day 4) and now I'm all out of nice. Maybe I'll wake up in a kinder mood :)</p> <p>@evansjamie: To be fair that does sound like he was pretty poorly. Hope he's better now! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-sympathetic-when-your-so-is-sick#post-590529 Sun, 24 Feb 2013 19:55:39 +0000 avivoca 590529@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't mind to wait on him, as he's diabetic and gets ketones and can't really do anything. He was sick on Thurs/Friday with food poisoning and a cold, and I did stay home (partly because I was up every time he was puking). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-sympathetic-when-your-so-is-sick#post-590515 Sun, 24 Feb 2013 19:48:59 +0000 CupQuakeWalk 590515@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Seriously DH is a pain in my ass when he's sick....luckily he hasn't been since LO was born. I do play nice though...I figure t's only a few days. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-sympathetic-when-your-so-is-sick#post-590309 Sun, 24 Feb 2013 16:30:04 +0000 Cherrybee 590309@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hahaha!! This thread is so funny!! </p> <p>It's the opposite in our house - I'm the big baby and DH soldiers on when he is sick!! SH has a long term, painful condition and yet, during pregnancy I'm being a whiny, pathetic little madam and he runs round after me, making sure I'm okay!!</p> <p>I try to look after him as best I can. Like this morning, he was hung over so I brought him water and coffee and breakfast in bed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-sympathetic-when-your-so-is-sick#post-590298 Sun, 24 Feb 2013 16:24:43 +0000 travelgirl1 590298@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@littlek: when I was four months into horrific morning sickness, DH felt sick for a day and omg I don't know how he dared complain like he did!<br /> @SleepyMonkey: @Penny Lane: ha ha, I am pretty mean.</p> <p>So DH got up, started banging on about the size of the bags under his eyes and I just had to get out so took A to the local ice festival in the Ergo. My veins do not flow with the milk of human kindness today that's for sure. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-sympathetic-when-your-so-is-sick#post-590235 Sun, 24 Feb 2013 15:21:29 +0000 Penny Lane 590235@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hahahaha, it's nice to know I'm not the only one who fakes sympathy! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-sympathetic-when-your-so-is-sick#post-590225 Sun, 24 Feb 2013 15:11:44 +0000 SleepyMonkey 590225@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh my god this thread is hilarious! Mostly because my DH is the same way and I react in the same way. I'm horrible! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-sympathetic-when-your-so-is-sick#post-590194 Sun, 24 Feb 2013 14:49:02 +0000 littlek 590194@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Can you imagine if men had to be pregnant??? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-sympathetic-when-your-so-is-sick#post-590171 Sun, 24 Feb 2013 14:31:55 +0000 MamaJ 590171@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@PrincessBaby: mine is the same way. I always think what a baby he is when sick! </p> <p>I try and act sympathetic but I did tell him the be quiet when he sneezes or coughs or he gets to put the baby back to sleep if e wakes him haha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-sympathetic-when-your-so-is-sick#post-590166 Sun, 24 Feb 2013 14:27:30 +0000 heffalump 590166@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He always has to deal with me being sick with migraines so I really try to be nice. He's actually the one man who isn't a baby when he's sick..... I guess I lucked out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-sympathetic-when-your-so-is-sick#post-590100 Sun, 24 Feb 2013 13:21:55 +0000 PurplePumps 590100@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not at all. I just tell him to suck it up or man up. But he's a GIANT baby when he's sick and just mopes around. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-sympathetic-when-your-so-is-sick#post-590097 Sun, 24 Feb 2013 13:20:27 +0000 MrsTiz 590097@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He takes the stereotype that men are babies when sick and amplifies it. I'm talking about missing work, whining, begging for medicine and soup, etc. It's pathetic. When I say I think I'm getting sick he says "you better not miss work" and that's about as helpful as he is. I used to baby him but I don't anymore </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-sympathetic-when-your-so-is-sick#post-590046 Sun, 24 Feb 2013 12:39:46 +0000 travelgirl1 590046@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@PrincessBaby: @littlek: He told A last night not to get colds because they're awful and I couldn't help laughing at him. He started running to the bathroom to sneeze so it wouldn't wake her up but he paused to put on his flip flop. I let him know that if he woke her up because he was putting them on, I would chase him with them, and not in a kinky way, lol. I am a bit mean but she takes hours to get down right now, so he better not wake her up! #badwife </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-sympathetic-when-your-so-is-sick#post-590040 Sun, 24 Feb 2013 12:34:20 +0000 littlek 590040@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH is a huge baby when he's sick. I dread when he tells me he's coming down with something because I know the fun in store for me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-sympathetic-when-your-so-is-sick#post-590036 Sun, 24 Feb 2013 12:30:49 +0000 PrincessBaby 590036@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My DH is an awful sick person...He is a bigger baby than H! So I kind of fake sympathy but I'm secretly thinking "You are ridiculous!" He was sick the last 2 days home and he would sneeze, cough, &amp; blow his nose and make H jump in her sleep and I told him he absolutely had to stop bc he was so insanely loud. I don't care if you have snot running down your face- DO NOT WAKE THE BABY!!!</p> <p>ETA: My exact words were "I will kill you if you wake her up!" </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-sympathetic-when-your-so-is-sick#post-590013 Sun, 24 Feb 2013 12:15:22 +0000 travelgirl1 590013@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Obviously I feel bad he's sick but I'm no Florence Nightingale. Seriously. He says I look at him like a demon if he sneezes when A is asleep. Well yeah, it's taken me an hour to get her down, DO NOT WAKE HER UP! I need to work on my bedside manner. </p>
