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.

Why haven't you told him to suck it up and take care of you yet? You shouldn't need to care for him hand and foot he should be taking care of you because you're pregnant

He should be pulling SOME of the weight regardless of whether she's pregnant or not.

It is a lot nicer and more comfortable to do more work when she is pregnant though.

Men do get faster and more sick than women. it's proven that they got lower immune system and their hormones makes the illness a bit worse! BUT he should help you... and take good care of you

I don't think it's that they have weaker immune systems, just testosterone.

It is the opposite: in terms of pain, women feel it more than men. He is a brat, is all.

None of that is anything that can actually be measured. It's all well and good to say someone is sicker but it's not really possible to quantify if they FEEL sicker. There are people who are literally dying who still go out and do all kinds of shit and claim they feel relatively ok. On the flip side there are people with the sniffles who lay in bed and act and look like they are dying. Pain is pain and everyone feels it differently regardless of gender. I'm female and when I have the flu I tend to push through until I either get better or collapse. A male friend of my mine had the flu so bad he had a heart attack while pushing through it at Work, a week and a half later he was back at work. My boyfriend gets the flu, he's in bed whimpering all day. Three different people, the same damn illness, three different reactions

He needs to suck it up. He can get his own tissues and haul his own ass around. When you have children you cant play sad and sick anymore. I mean shit my dad had food posioning but made sure my common cold was taken care of... this guy can nut up.

Typical guy for ya. But hey, the baby will have an experienced mom! And so will the new baby when you have him/her.

Tell him to do it himself. If you're that pregnant, he should realize he's being lazy and ungrateful.

everyone gets a little whiny when they're sick, but still your the one carrying a child. I'm sorry OP
