I currently have double pneumonia and my doctor told me "strict bedrest for the week". I'm on antibiotics that have given me crazy diarrhea plus a toddler who is in daycare.

My husband decided that since I'm "home" this week, I can deal with our child myself and he'll work from home. I said I'm supposed to be on bedrest, and daycare is literally right beside his work. I said I don't mind getting our son up in the morning and getting him breakfast and ready for school, but I can't be driving 30 minutes to daycare and 30 minutes home.

My husband refused to get out of bed on time all week so he forced me to take our son to daycare so he could work from home. To make it to daycare and work on time, he has to leave by 7:45. Since he doesn't work until 8:30, he was sleeping in until the last minute and I'm leaving at just before 8am.

By the time I get home, it's almost 9am. Then I collapse in bed, sleep for a couple hours, and then my husband comes in, turns on all the lights and says "Well since you're just laying in bed, make lunch. Go do laundry." I've told him a million times I'm supposed to be resting. Then at 3pm, I have to leave to pick up our son. I get home and juggle him and make dinner while my husband games all week. He didn't even join us for dinner.

I'm fucking sick and tired of this shit! I tried to talk to him last night but we got in a fight about "he needs r&r too" and "you're acting like you're the only mom who's ever been sick and had to care for her child".

I'm not complaining about looking after my child. I'm fucking sick of my husband treating me like I'm lazy when I'm supposed to be in bed rest. I'm not resting and getting enough sleep so of course I'm not getting better. His mom came to "help" on Wednesday and that was a disaster. Her idea of "helping" was putting my son in front of the TV while she watched Grey's anatomy on her iPad. She said she was "keeping him busy so you can get caught up on housework". Ummm... Apple does not fall far from the tree.

I'm back to the doctor tomorrow (she has a walk-in clinic) because my cough is so bad I can barely breathe at times and I'm coughing so hard I'm vomiting.

UPDATE: my health took a turn for the worst last night. I ended up turning blue and collapsing so my husband called 911. I've been admitted to our hospital. The doctor is amazing and told me that he's going to keep me here "for at least two or three days". I'm on IV antibiotics and fluids, plus a bunch of breathing treatments. He says that I've been doing too much.

They've been really supportive here and a social worker came by and spoke with my husband this morning. Between her and the doctor, they told my husband that what he was doing was bad for me and could not continue.

The doctor actually said something like "So you made your wife with pneumonia drive over an hour to take your son to daycare so you could sleep in and work from home. Not just one time, but all week. And you wonder why she's now in hospital? Really?" He's got to be in his 70s so I think he probably gets away with a lot.
