If you told your dh you had a fever of 103 would he show even a little concern

[luvmy3]

for anyone other than himself

I really want to go off on him but I don't have the energy and ther kids are sleeping peacefully dreaming of their first day of school tomorrow. Which I'm sure I'll have to get up to get them ready since he can't get sick. Yeah, like I can too

That is a high fever. Be careful.

And go ahead and tell him he is getting the kids ready and taking care of them in the morning, because you may be in the hospital and if not, then you will be in bed and he will be taking care of you.

If not, get him on here and I'll tell him.

Been there, done that. My DH, though, has a habit of being away when I get sick, and coming home just as I'm recovering. I'll manage to get the kids up, dressed, fed, taken to school, etc. all while I feel like I've been hit by a 2x4.

DH comes down with the sniffles, and he needs to retreat to his bed for two days (unless something important is going on at work...then he'll spend 10 hours at the office just fine, but the minute he walks in the door, he's hidden away in bed, waiting for tea and crumpets to be gingerly placed by his bedside).

Hope you're feeling better by morning.

Hey !! Sounds like we're married to the same man !!

DH has sprained his foot - he was sure he needed a foot replacement
DH has sprained his knee - he was sure it was cancer
DH gets a cold - cancer
DH gets an upset tummy - he's been poisoned (sometimes I'm tempted)

I have a c-section - DH says ...walk it off be a marine not really but this is typically how it goes in our house...

He'd show concern, but just for a bit. I'd be wanting him to take care of me (ie, talk to me, rub my back, bring me water if I need it, etc) and he'd expect me to go to bed and just sleep until I felt better.

I came home with the good old type A influenza one Christmas Eve. I mean I was some kinda sick--high fever, coughing, body aches like I can't even describe. I felt like a truck had backed over me and spun it's wheels. I felt like I'd have to get better to be dead! But do you know, my DH(*and I use the term loosely) woke me up at 2am to get him some nyquil because he had a cough and a temp of 100? And when I couldn't find the nyquil he wanted me to go to the grocery store in the middle of the night, even though my temp was 103 and I could barely stand up? And it was early Christmas morning? I'm not perfect either, but I have NEVER asked my husband to get out of his sick-bed to take care of me.

Men are just big boys.
Whenever I get sick-like this last weekend- my husband starts to feel sick- it's like a miracle or something.
He is usually a very good husband. This behavior though drives me frickin' nuts.

I was sick (no fever) a couple of weeks ago but I appeared healthy. My husband was a bit--not supportive until I refused to get out of bed...24 hours later, we realized why I was so sick and was it ever yucky.

But the times where I was really down--yes my husband would give two flips. I had morning sickness my last pregnancy so bad that I had to have my husband fly home immediately. He did question it to be sure it was an emergency. I simply said--I was starving and thirsty and losing every gram of what I was putting into my mouth. It was enough and he booked a flight and came home.

I think your husband needs to get your kids ready in the morning and quit pretending he is going to catch cooties.

I just hope I die first, because I do NOT want him taking care of me in our old age

I have to say the apple doesn't fall far from the tree - while I was in hard labor with oldest DD - MIL complained about a headache....in the delivery room!!!!!!!!

I'm sorry but this post is just tooooo funny

If women just wore lingerie when they were sick we would all notice and come running!

All I've heard here is:

I am sure y'all are just peaches and cream all the time!!

Have a nice night all.

Yes, in fact, we are peaches and cream all the time and I'm sure you are as well.

I hope that you feel better soon.

My hubby wouldn't jump in to help either. He would still go to work (24 hour shift) and I would still get the kids off to school, etc. He would still say things like "why are you so grouchy?" to me and I would have to say for the 50th time "BECAUSE I'M SICK!!!".

It never fails though, he always gets the germ after me. Then, he will act like he's dying and I will take extra special care of him. Oh why, oh why can't it be the other way around for once?

Oh well, I love him even though he is clueless sometimes. Just the way it goes I spose.

 

[kirbsam]

i would say that you are "hot blooded".

 

[HunnyPots]

Actually, I have the opposite problem. Mine hovers like an old woman and when I am sick I just want to be left alone! I would never tell him my temp was that high - he'd rush me to the hospital. Or worse - he'd stay home from work to take care of me and drive me out of my mind!

But, if it makes you feel any better, he's a great big baby when he's sick too!
Unfortunately for him, I just don't have that Florence Nightengale thing that he does...

Gosh, I love my husband. But if he were posting he'd probably be complaining about me.

One night he complained that his stomach didn't feel good. The next day he got up, cooked an entire Thanksgiving Dinner for my family, got it on the table and then announced he was going to the hospital. He had appendicitis.

Another time he was laying flat on the floor with his feet and lower legs up on the couch watching a race. I walked over to get something and he didn't move his legs out of the way. He said, "I can't move." I thought he was just teasing me. Half an hour later he informed me he really could not move out of that position. It took almost an hour to get him on his feet and 20 feet out to the car where he rode to the hospital on his hands and knees in the back of the van.

He really needs to learn to be more dramatic.
