Flipping 'eck, she has to go to casualty for jippy tummy? No wonder he was bit flippant with her.

She had chest pains.

That's still over 100 hours a week available to be in the kitchen, I suggest you write down what you actually do then I will give you a guide how to make better use of your time!!

Sigh, I wish my husband was as considerate as you. He's never once offered to help me in this way, he knows I struggle with time management and the like. I think he probably wants me to stand on my own two feet or could it be that he's too lazy....

I'll be glad to help you timetable your housework and kitchen duties!

OP is this the first time your OH has been presented with such a situation? Maybe he just felt he couldn't cope or help you, and so decided he'd be better staying at his new job.

Now that you're over the worst, you should calmly talk to your husband and tell him that you needed help, you were very ill and very scared. Contrary to popular belief, men can be trained to be at least a little use around the house/children .

My OH happily admits that he generally does very little around the house, but he will step in without complaint on the rare occasion I'm too ill to take care of our DD properly.

I remember a few years ago a dear friend of mine had been really quite ill. I can't recall exactly what the issue was (I think it was a hysterectomy), but when she was discharged she was incredibly weak and needed some care (she had 3 kids under 11 at that point too).

On the way home she'd said she needed him to go to Tesco as she needed pads. He pulled up in the pickup point, looked at her and said "While you are in there can you get me some 'poorly soup' because I don't feel well"! She hobbled her way around Tesco, and when she got home he beat her to the sofa and demanded she cook his soup. There he stayed for a couple of days being 'ill' while she recovered.

She didn't tell any of her friends about this until much later or I think we would all have turned up en masse and evicted him from the bloody sofa.

She's still with him he's a pillock.

She should have made some homemade soup not bought a can!

And NHS direct told her to go! It's not like she just decided.

Typical man, just read the bits you want Probably got bored after the 2nd sentence and decided to assume the rest.

Sounds like he is about to get his comeuppance!

Make sure you don't play 'nurse' or show sympathy. Then when he moans you can tell him 'now you know what it's bl..ddy like. I'm happy to look after you when you are ill, just as soon as you are prepared to do the same for me'

More fool her.. I'd have hit him with the pan and thrown the soup at his head..

OP.. I hope he is being made to do dinner tonight.. and don't forget you need him to watch the children and get them to bed because you HAVE to do the food shop today (it does take 3 hours to buy 2 loaves and 4 pints of milk!!!)

Why are women always so violent? And why would you waste that soup you had spent hours making? Seems silly!!
