Super sick, husband rant

My husband had tonsillitis about a week and a half ago. He’s still on antibiotics for it, because he was diagnosed a few days after it started. He ended up calling out of work for a few days and literally doing nothing but lay in bed. I doted on him hand and foot, making him soup, bringing him medicine, keeping the kids away so he could get some rest, giving him massages for his body aches, taking him to the doctor, etc. I did all that I could to make him feel better and he’s been feeling much better the last 5 days.

While my husband was going through this, I had a UTI and a yeast infection, so once he felt better I went to the doctor to get on some antibiotics for that. I also started my period last night, so I’m cramping and still have the UTI and Yeast symptoms. And to top it all off, I woke up this morning feeling like a train hit me- sore throat, coughing because it’s itchy, feeling weak and my body is sore, my head is killing me. Guess what my husband is doing? Playing video games loudly, not watching the kids, not doing anything. I have swept and mopped the entire house, got the kids breakfast and lunch, cleaned up the dishes, took the trash out, took the kids outside, took a shower, put the baby down for a nap, and now I’m finally relaxing. He hasn’t offered to get me medicine, make me something to eat, asked if I’m okay, kept the kids quiet so I could rest. He has literally played video games for the past 3 hours. I’m exhausted, my head is killing me, my throat is on fire, and my husband is inconsiderate.

And before anyone says “Just ask him to help”, I have. I’ve mention multiple times I don’t feel well, I was tired, I just wanted to lay down, etc. I asked him to take the trash out, I asked him to get the kids their breakfast. I have taken care of everyone in this house for years, and I get sick and it’s like eff you, good luck. Sorry, I just needed to rant. Off to sleep while the baby is asleep, because it looks like that’s the only quiet I will get.

Update: He just woke me up to ask if he can go out with his friends. 🙄
