Man Colds......

There is no real point to this post other than I need a quick vent.

DH is sick....................AGAIN. Seriously his immune system sucks and he can't deal with Molly's germs. He literally had a cold for over a month from Dec - January. The only thing that kicked it was when we self perscribed some Amox that we had leftover (don't judge).....

So now I am dealing with him laying around, sniffling dramatically, whining etc. and just all around nastiness. Knowing we are all going to be snowed in together tomrorow (joy). I'm cranky because I have to deal with this again. He's cranky probably b/c I am cranky and probably because he doesn't feel well..... So  I suggested he hit a walk in today..... I thought this was a nicer approach than just being annoyed - after all I'm trying to help him. And he won't go. He got all snarky about it. WTF?!?!?! Can't win.

Seriously - man colds are ridiculous. Vent over.

I hate man colds.  Even if I catch what DH has, he always claims that he "got it worse".

Quick- download a bunch of episodes of his favorite shows or some new movies he wants to see. Set him up in bed with his computer, the downloads, and plenty of snacks and leave him be tomorrow. This is what I do with MH when he is in man-cold mode.

Lol so funny! My husband is sick too and that's all the text I am gettin yet I'm still having to go to work with a cold and take care of ds while he travels. He's acting like he's dying so I figured he got a cold or flu... Nope acid reflux and feels sick to his stomach. Can we say bad food during football?!!! Men are such babies!!!!

Ccam they always have it worse! I was like you are home from work for acid reflux?!!' I take two pills a day and wake up nightly from it thanks to pregnancy. Get a grip

Man colds are the pits! I mean really!?! Get up, get moving, get on with your day!

On a serious note, will he use a neti pot? He sounds like some one who could greatly benefit from it. They are great at flushing bacteria out to clear colds faster and to keep from getting colds if you know you've been exposed.

I hope he feels better soon so you can get back to real life.

I once asked my hubby why he was such a big baby when it came to colds. He actually gave me a very interesting answer.

As a man he prides himself on being strong and capable. When he has a cold, his strength gets severely leached and he feels weak, which makes him become a suck. (my words not his lol) Which is why he can handle other pains and stuff fine but a cold, oh no, it's the worst thing ever lol.
