Well, my husband wouldn't be too concerned about it, but he's a physician so very few illnesses phase him. He would help out while he's home, but problem is that would be of little use to me cause he's usually home about 2 hours max before the kids go to bed and leaves before they wake up in the morning. He doesn't get sick days so staying home would not be an option.
Luckily for me I have only been really sick like that once, and I left my husband a message but it didn't do any good as he couldn't get home any sooner anyway.
Oh, and whoever mentioned morning sickness, I had it bad with all 3 pregnancies, this summer probably being the worst of the 3, and he lost most sympathy well before the sickness actually ended so in that case he was useless. He did help out at bedtime more than normal, but I could see he was never thrilled about it so it almost wasn't worth the help.
When he gets a migraine though, whoa, all bets are off! What I said about most illnesses not phasing him clearly does not apply to himself and headaches. The world must cease when he has a migraine. Luckily for us all it's been 1.5 years (and that one happened at work, where he still couldn't take a sick day, they just made him lay in the ER a couple of hours, hooked up to an IV) cause I truly can't handle the drama he creates over them.
). I'm just expecting some help with taking care of the household because I physically can't or shouldn't be doing that stuff.
Would you enjoy your dh acting like some of the ones in these posts?
