    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!!!)

    She was quite downtrodden at the time. Long complex story but she ended up seeking solace in alcohol and in the end we had to have a bit of an intervention as she was turning up to school to collect the kids drunk.

    Last time I saw her she looked amazing, she was wearing make up and seemed a hell of a lot happier. I'm guessing she doesn't let him get away with it quite so much now.

    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.
    A similar thing happened to me after the same op, so when I got home I sent him out for a loaf of bread after taking his door key off the keyring,and that was the end of us:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:A lot of things had built up and this was the last straw:mad::mad:
    OP your OH's behaviour is selfish and unaccceptable to say the least.Now he's ill please don't look after him:mad::mad:;)

    I was up from 1am Saturday morning feeling very I'll by 6 am I was having bad chest pain phoned nhs direct they said go to a&e drove myself as oh was having a paddy about being late from work.
    Lucky for me it was just this bug oh went to work by 9am I was throwing up ,baby had real bad runs we were in a mess phoned oh begging him to come home but he was too busy.
    He finished at lunch time came home to do nothing really to help moaned about having to look after baby I could hardly move had a banging head but still had to change nappies and feed baby I feel like throwing him out can't even bare to look at him

    Are there some womenfolk near you (family, friends) you can better rely on?:D

    I know it may not be relevant in this case, but I think it's true that men generally don't find it easy to ask for or get time off work in situations like this?

    It must be a nightmare being ill and lookng after a little one who's also ill and miserable! You can only do what you can do. Hope you're both feeling better now

    It is hard to take time off when you are ruling the world, that's correct!

    If Poppyjay had been in an accident while DRIVING to a+e with CHEST PAINS and sickness then her partner would have had to take time off work permanently to care for the kids.
    Hope you are feeling better now Poppyjay.
