Am I wrong??

FC

I’m 22 weeks pregnant with a 21 month old who is disabled and have a pretty bad cold. Don’t know if is covid or not but I don’t feel well at all. No energy, coughing, head pressure, headache. I worked from bed today and my husband brought me some water, an apple and some cough drops. Morning he was sweet, as the day progressed he started getting more mean to the point that he said if I’m coughing I should use a towel to cough into because I sound like a barking dog. Then went on to talk about how every time I get sick I just wanna lay around all day and that there are single moms out there who have to somehow find the courage and strength to still do everything they have to do when sick. I told him that that’s not my case though and I am not a single mom and I should get all the help considering I never get sick (last time I got sick was probably over a year or two ago). I just want to be able to rest for once. Am I wrong or am I being a baby? I do everything for our daughter otherwise (feed, put to nap, bathe, put to bed) we have a nanny and she leaves at 4 and I stop working at 4 to care for her the rest of the day (my day should end at 5). I just need to vent 😞

Update: she just woke up from a nap and he’s with her in bed and asked if I want going to go spend time with her to which I responded, i don’t think i should be too close to her and he said “so now because you’re sick you’re not going to take care of her” and i said well when you’re sick i don’t make you take care of her. His response, yes but I don’t that that to begin with.

Am I in the twilight zone??

What the hell is wrong with your husband. Next time he‘s sick, make him take care of your daughter! But if I were you, I would have called in sick form work and tried to rest as much as possible.

My husband tried to pull this nonsense with me when my morning sickness was really bad this time around. He called his dad to vent & his dad set him straight & told him to toughen up bc he doesn't know how it is to raise a toddler & deal with morning sickness.

I’m horrified by his attitude. You’re a working parent, pregnant and sick…tell him to grow the eff up as he is acting like a toddler.

Yikes. I don’t think he understands how tough it is being pregnant and sick. It can be rough.
