Today, I'm stuck in bed with a fever, aches, and nasty cough. My kids and husband had it too, and kept coughing without covering their mouths, despite my asking several times so I wouldn't get sick. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I learned that I have a sinus infection, ear infection and bronchitis so bad it was on the verge of pneumonia. My work won't let me call in sick. I work with kids. Lovely. FML
Today, I woke up with a fever, headache and sore throat. All the symptoms of Covid-19. I told my husband, whose responded with, "Sack up and get over yourself." FML
Today, my kids caught a virus from school. My husband stayed home with them since I make more money and he didn't want to risk me getting sick. Guess which adult has the runs and is puking every five seconds. Nope, not him. FML
Today, I have the flu. I woke up to my son leaning over me, inches from my face, breathing in deeply. Apparently, he was trying to get sick so he could stay home from school. He's 15. 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, I woke up on my boyfriend's bedroom floor. When I asked him why I was there, he said I'd gotten too hot, so he rolled me off his bed. I have the flu and a fever. FML
Today, I've been sick with both a chest cold and a sore throat. As a result, I've also been dehydrated, causing me to have a headache. Whenever I cough, I feel like my throat is being ripped apart and my head is about to explode. FML
Today, I had a horrible case of the flu. I have a fever of 102 degrees and I can't breathe through my nose. Choosing to sleep it off turns out to be enough for my mom to call me a lazy fuck and scream at me for doing nothing all day. FML
Today, I woke up with the flu. My wife thinks I'm faking it so we don't have to go on date night, even though I've been on the toilet all day. FML
Today, my youngest child gave me the cold she had. I also started my period yesterday. Now I can’t stop coughing, and I feel like a human ketchup packet. FML

Unless you lived in a different home and never had to come in contact with them, you'd still be sick. I am also a mom, and my two boys and husband get sick all the time. It's hit or miss, really. Keep your hands as clean as possible, and sterilize everything during the day!

Coving your mouth with the crook of your elbow does help. Stuff can still get into the air a little, but keeping germs away from your hands is crucial. You touch a lot of stuff in the home that would spread it!

Covering your mouth is purely for decorum's sake. It doesn't actually stop the germs from going everywhere.

Lock all the drawers. That way, if you fall into a delirious sex dream, you won’t slam anything in them.

Woman you have kids... you’re gonna get sick. I wash my hands, cover my face, get them to cover theirs.. I can literally do everything besides wear a hazmat suit and I’ll usually catch what they have unless I gave it to them lmao

Surprise! Holding your hand in front of your mouth doesn't prevent the spread of germs. It's just good manners to do so.

Not supposed to use your hand, use the crook of your elbow! You use yours hands for everything and if you cough into it and touch something, instantly spread! Door knobs, fridge handle, tables, chairs. Doesn't get rid of it all as airborne droplets from the cough or sneeze can still get out, but it does prevent touch transfer!
