This isn’t fair.

We have covid. My husband was able to return to work and be out of isolation. He met al the requirements. We both still feel pretty crappy though.

It’s the end of the year at his job and it’s a busy time for him. I feel bad that he has to work when he isn’t feeling great. I thank him every day for his sacrifice.

But I’m here at home in the trenches. Ive got two kids to take care of, one of which doesn’t feel good either. I’m still dealing with a cough, fatigue, and diarrhea.

He was mad at me from a fight we had this morning, so he never texted or called today to check in on us. Then he comes home, doesn’t say a word, goes straight to the shower and then crawls in bed.

I go in and ask if he’s okay. He says he’s tired.

Yeah? You’re tired. Me too. I’m also tired of pooping my brains out while trying to manage a toddler and an infant, but thanks for your concern.

Must be nice to be a male.

Edit: the doctor said we only had to isolate for 10 days after the start of symptoms as long as we had gone 24 hours without using medication to manage a fever and other symptoms had decreased and were manageable. 🤷🏼‍♀️

Edit: I actually did text him throughout the day and he did not respond because he was angry due to the fact I packed him a salad for lunch. 🙄 It’s not that my sick outweighs his, it’s that his sick also doesn’t outweigh mine. I also worked all day. I don’t get to crawl into bed. I still have to feed these kids and put them to sleep.
