Today, my husband and I are sick. He keeps whining about how bad he feels. I'm just as sick, as well as 7 months pregnant. I've not only been taking care of his whiny ass: I've cooked, cleaned, and gone to the store several times because the tissues we had were too rough on his nose. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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 has pneumonia and is in bed. Our baby is ill and can't go to daycare. I take care of them both, frantically trying to meet my freelance deadlines while they sleep. I am so tired I want to cry. FML
Today, I'm pregnant and feeling awful due to all-day-long morning sickness. My doctor suggested that I cancel all my social plans to be able to keep working. My doctor is also my husband, and the father of this child. 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, whenever I try to rest or I get sick and tell my husband, almost immediately he says he's unwell with the same thing and dumps all the chores on my head. When I have a fever, magically he gets the fever too, then blames me for getting him sick. I really need rest from my chores. FML
Today, I have the flu. I had to wash the dishes, cook dinner, take out the trash, and take care of the laundry, all while my wife sat around watching TV, because she was "too tired". I work 8 hours a day. She's a college student. She doesn't see what's so unfair about this. FML
Today, my morning sickness has been so bad that my husband's farts send me running to the bathroom. He thinks it's hilarious, and has been following me around all day trying to crack one off in my face. FML
Today, I'm 11 weeks pregnant and my husband has taken great glee in the fact that his horrible gas is enough to trigger my morning sickness. We're about to go on a long, 12-hour drive. FML
Today, I'm horribly sick with a stomach bug. My wife insists on yelling for my help every fifteen minutes, saying, "If you want kids, you better get used to this. They don't just go away when you're sick." When she's sick, however, she expects to be treated like a princess. 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

Just leave him alone for a few hours and he will realize that life indeed can be tough. Teach him a lesson. If you don't do it now you might never get a second chance.

Looks like my father is the only man, out of the billions of males on the planet, who would never be like that to my mom. In fact she once told me that if he gets a bad cold she has to make sure he does get his rest instead of trying to do everything normally.

Are you being forced to do these things? Cuz you can say no.

I hate society. Of course everybody is saying men should all be tough and deal with anything. Well that's not always the case. It seems like women get away with anything these days but guys can't. If a girl slaps a guy, then everybody will think that he deserved it, and the woman is being strong and independent. But if a guy hits a girl, immediately there would be calls to 911. Not all girls are weaklings and not all guys are Arnold Schwarzenegger, so enough with all these things around the media saying for a guy to man up! Do I ever see comments saying "Women up?" no because society treats women like these delicate flowers nowadays. Im not trying to be sexist here and i'm just saying that I know for a fact that if a woman did something harsh to a man, nobody would care on here.

Madam (OP) you have my deepest respect and admiration. As a former paratrooper and 23 years as a soldier in the Canadian Forces, it is safe to say I am too delicate for marriage and motherhood. If I work more than 12 to 16 hour days, I get tired. Of course I am lazier than dirt.
