My husband came home sick with a cold on Friday and my god can I say 'baby' without being a bitch? Yesterday he stayed in bed until after noon only to get up and sit on the recliner for the rest of the day. He did NOTHING. We have a six month old and a farm. I had to do everything. Thank god my mother happened to be here visiting so she helped me with the baby so I could go do the barn work and bring in wood for the stove because he sure as hell wasn't even asking if it needed to be done. Now my question is....who the fack looks after the baby when I'm sick? Who does all the house work when I'm sick? Not him! Why do men get a free pass? It's a cold. Get over it. I know he felt like crap and I understand that. But I'm not here to take care of adult babies. And the fact that he didn't even think that I might have needed an extra hand yesterday, didn't even offer. I just can't get over how a man, a big burly man can be brought down to child status by the common cold. No wonder why women give birth.
