I was so sick 2 weeks ago with an upper respiratory cold and he let me sleep, took care of DS and did all cooking so I could rest and recover. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hows-your-so-when-youre-sick#post-2357323 Sun, 15 Nov 2015 18:41:23 +0000 Oxana 2357323@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think Louis CK nails the parent dynamics of getting sick:</p> <p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eLfKlZUtzSo" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eLfKlZUtzSo</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hows-your-so-when-youre-sick#post-2357311 Sun, 15 Nov 2015 18:30:46 +0000 DesertDreams88 2357311@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He is so kind. He makes me all my meals, brings the guest bed out into the living room floor for snuggles and TV, tucks me into bed, sets up tissues humidifier and water, reminds me to take pills and vitamins..... I am a lucky girl!! Then again, I am rarely sick.</p> <p>He gets sick every 4-7 weeks, and I try to be as nurturing as him, but sometimes in my head I'm like.... again?!?! Back when we were TTC, it also always seemed to be when I was ovulating :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hows-your-so-when-youre-sick#post-2357306 Sun, 15 Nov 2015 18:18:55 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 2357306@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He's great! He is caring and attentive. He fusses if I try to do too much too soon. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hows-your-so-when-youre-sick#post-2357304 Sun, 15 Nov 2015 18:16:35 +0000 Applesandbananas 2357304@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@oliviaoblivia: haha the man cold, yes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hows-your-so-when-youre-sick#post-2357238 Sun, 15 Nov 2015 17:03:15 +0000 oliviaoblivia 2357238@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Fairly useless. It sucks. He's the king of the man cold too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hows-your-so-when-youre-sick#post-2357236 Sun, 15 Nov 2015 17:00:41 +0000 Mrs. Sunshine 2357236@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He's okay. Depends on how sick I am. Even so I'd say it's mediocre help at best. But whatever. I don't get sick often </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hows-your-so-when-youre-sick#post-2357229 Sun, 15 Nov 2015 16:49:44 +0000 Cherrybee 2357229@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He will inevitably get much sicker within hours! If my illness is minor - a cough, cold- he will just completely overlook the fact I'm sick and life will carry on as normal. Pregnancy gets me zero special treatment!</p> <p>He's generally great around the house. We so 50/50, really.... but that balance isn't going to tip in my favour for anything! Its not that he doesn't pull his weight, its just he fully expects me to too. </p> <p>I'm off sick from work at the moment (pregnancy anaemia + exhaustion) and there is a list of jobs he would like me to do while I'm off (stripping wallpaper etc). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hows-your-so-when-youre-sick#post-2357217 Sun, 15 Nov 2015 16:33:07 +0000 Truth Bombs 2357217@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He's really awesome at taking care of me and handling LO solo when I'm sick. And he's had to do a lot of that while I've been pregnant. Especially now that I'm on bed rest. The house work suffers and he doesn't do things exactly the way I would, but I need to learn to let that stuff slide, because it's a lot of work to run the ship solo, and he does it without a single complaint. And even yells at me to go rest if I try to help too much. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hows-your-so-when-youre-sick#post-2357211 Sun, 15 Nov 2015 16:23:51 +0000 mrsrain 2357211@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He's GREAT with our daughter, caring for me, and making sure we all eat. He's not as good at doing household stuff (dishes, picking up toys). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hows-your-so-when-youre-sick#post-2357156 Sun, 15 Nov 2015 14:59:40 +0000 lamariniere 2357156@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Pretty amazing. The kids may not eat mama-approved foods, but he totally takes over when I'm sick. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hows-your-so-when-youre-sick#post-2357145 Sun, 15 Nov 2015 14:48:04 +0000 Greentea 2357145@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He's so great! I have been extremely sick the last several months, and he has been AMAZING. He has done all the housework and grocery shopping AND taking care of LO at night when I'm sick in bed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hows-your-so-when-youre-sick#post-2357141 Sun, 15 Nov 2015 14:43:51 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 2357141@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He's good at leaving me alone and making sure I have everything I need next to me in bed. He needs work on taking over food duty. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hows-your-so-when-youre-sick#post-2357131 Sun, 15 Nov 2015 14:33:57 +0000 autumnlove 2357131@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Very helpful if I need it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hows-your-so-when-youre-sick#post-2357106 Sun, 15 Nov 2015 14:05:06 +0000 pinkcupcake 2357106@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He's amazing! I'm going into my 7th week and the nausea / all day morning sickness means I'm useless and just lying bed all day trying not to throw up. He's been amazing - taking care of our 3.5 year old and 2 dogs, getting me crackers/water constantly, listening to me bitch and moan all day and night. Love the guy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hows-your-so-when-youre-sick#post-2357097 Sun, 15 Nov 2015 13:51:24 +0000 Applesandbananas 2357097@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I feel like when I get sick, the whole ship sinks, so to speak! DH can't/doesn't want to pick up the slack and it's a snowball effect from there because inevitably, he gets sick shortly thereafter!</p> <p>How is your SO when you're sick? </p>
