Today, my kid has severe diarrhoea. My husband said he was going out to get medicine. Two long, painful hours later, I find he's out eating and chilling with his friends. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, while my husband and I are both stuck in the bathroom from food poisoning, our 3-year-old son is taking advantage of his freedom. All I can hear is banging noises and wild laughter. I'm afraid to leave the bathroom. FML
Today, I've been horribly sick with a stomach virus. Six hours ago, I asked my husband to go to the store and get me a few things that would help ease my misery. He's still in bed and I'm cleaning the house in between bouts of vomiting. FML
Today, my husband and I are both suffering from food poisoning. He has horrible, raging, rank smelling, explosive diarrhea; I am vomiting every 15 minutes. We have one bathroom. FML
Today, my husband had a bad stomach bug and fever. While I was at work, he had diarrhoea but couldn't make it to the toilet so he went in the bin next to his desk, crawled back into bed, and passed out. It sat there in this heatwave for 5 hours. FML
Today, my neighbour is a doctor and has a 2 year-old son. He has a stomach infection and has been crying non stop day and night for a week now. The woman is not taking him to the hospital or giving him medicines, because it's "just diarrhea" and will "go away." The crying is driving me mad. I can't sleep. FML
Today, I was struck down with horrible diarrhea. With barely any toilet paper left, I texted my husband to buy some more and rush home. He replied, "Sorry babe, getting shitfaced with the lads. Get it? 'Shitfaced'. LOL!" and stopped replying to my desperate pleas. FML
Today, my son was up at 3:00 am crying due to excruciatingly severe pain in his groin. I took him to the ER. After nine hours consisting of two different hospitals, an ambulance ride, a CAT scan, an ultrasound, and possible appendicitis, the surgeon finally said he was just constipated. FML
Today, I had to spend a few hours in a hospital with a toddler and a preschooler projecting vomit all over, because my husband thinks "expiration dates are for pussies." FML
Today, my husband is so useless that he forgot to pick our son up from my mother's, forgot to take our daughter to the doctor, forgot to buy some groceries we need, and after begging for another appointment with the doctor, he forgot what was wrong with our daughter (a massive rash) I despair. FML
Today, I got a stomach bug. Then my three kids joined in like it was a team sport. My husband decided his actual soccer game was more important. FML

I see your husband and my ex-wife went to the same school of being a dipshit parent.

Maybe they had some but he used it and didn't bring replacement? A kid is suffering and an adult who could help goes chilling with friends – how does anyone deserve that?

If the medicine is just pepto YDI, you really need to keep basic OTC stuff like that on hand.

Seems like the real pandemic here is Bad Spelling. "Pregnat?" "Diarrhoea?" Oh, the idiosea!

“Diarrhoea” is an accepted alternative spelling.

In her defense, she only misspelled diorheea and that word is a pain in the ass for anyone to spell. Bwahahaha!

Change locks, keep him outside, consider taking a break, distancing, send him back to his parents. This is beyond disrespectful towards you and the child and I would divorce with full custody on a heartbeat. Imagine if it be a little bit more serious and he took the car and drove for medicine that is urgently needed. By the time he decides to return child can be heavily dehydrated, passing out, what if you need the car to take Sick child to hospital while he is getting away from sickness to chill with mates. If I could I would sue this man for becoming a dad, endangering life, abandonment. I would not be able to let this stranger in my house, let alone share a bed, or trust to fall asleep next to him. But then again you said My Child, so maybe the husband isn't biological dad, then he is still an a-hole but responsibility lies on you if he hasn't adopted him. If it is both of your kid, and you're both legal parents then FyourKidsLife

As a single mom with my son as the light of my life that I live for, I agree with you. And sounds like it would be an unnecessary struggle and hardship to try to take a sick child to the store, or even worse, he took your only vehicle. Also, I would absolutely lose it, because thinking help is on the way while watching your child suffer, only to find out the opposite! Wow! I no honestly can't imagine! Idk if there are extenuating circumstances, but not sure if this is would mean divorce... that seems so extreme. But then again this sounds like a Horrible person and parent, so you might be right. Out with him!!! Some people!!!!
