you think YOUR dh is a baby?

Mine is sleeping with the vaporizer in the room tonight because he's sick. DS had a chesty cough last week with a slight fever. He got over it! Today I took DD to the doc for what turned out to be a double ear infection and they gave us a breathing treatment machine.  DH does have a cough, but with DD's diagnosis he's suddenly about to admit himself to the hospital or something.  When he told me he was going to run the humifier all night I barely held back the laughter.  I'll admit, I'm not overly compassionate when he's sick because he's soooo dramatic.  He doesn't even notice when I'm sick...because I'm the mom!

We sleep with a humidifier every night. I don't get what that has to do with being a wimp when sick. Though granted, men are wimps.

We have all had a stomach bug in our house for the past few days.  DS1 and I had it on sunday.  We camped out all day together upstairs.  While I was sick, I was cleaning up after him.  DH got it last night.  He has not gotten out of bed since 10:30 last night.  I had to clean both bathrooms when I got home tonight.  He was so sick, he could "barely make it to the bathroom"  Really, you are almost 40 years old and it was less work to clean up after your 3 year old son.  When I asked him how he missed the toilet in both bathrooms, he just looked at me and I laughed.  He is now mad at me because I find him being sick funny.  No, being sick is not funny.  The fact that you are almost 40 and you could not make it to the toilet before pooping or puking is ridiculous...so ridiculous I laughed at him. Men are such babies.  He was annoyed that i was in bed all day sunday.  I managed to get up and go to work yesterday so I can save my sick time for the kids.  He called out today and tomorrow.  Grow the f up!!!!

 Sorry to hijack your post, but I had to vent!!!!!!

Your DH sounds like mine. I cannot stand the way he babies himself. He has been complaining about this "flu" he's had for close to a month now. He's actually been tested for it and does not have the flu. I can't tell you how many days he complains of a "screaming headache and sore throat". It's ridiculous.

OMG, I could have written this word for word! DH took 3 day off of work for a cough that poor little DS had to endure without meeds. DH has taken more meeds then I have ever seen him take in my life! I too am not too compassionate since I was sick this weekend too and I still had to do all my stuff AND take care of him! I am finally going to get my throat culture that I should have had a week ago...sheesh. I feel your pain.

I don't think it's a big deal either.

I had to post and run and by now no one will come back to read this, but I feel obligated to respond anyway. It's not the use of the humidifier per se, it's the fact that he's a bigger wimp than both of his kids.  He's not sick enough to need the humidifer. that's all.
