If your spouse was sick at Disney?

[Iggipolka]

If you went to DisneyWorld and your spouse/bf/gf/SO, got sick with a cold or other non-lethal ailment, would you stay with them in the hotel, or would you go to the parks?

If you went to DisneyWorld and got sick with a non-lethal ailment, would you want your spouse/bf/gf/SO to stay with you in the hote, or would you rather that they went to the parks?


If I were sick, I'd want my wife to go to the parks and enjoy herself. if she were sick, she'd want me to stay with her at the hotel. I'd rather go to the parks and check in on her by cell phone several times during the day to see if she needed anything.

What do you think?

DH was down with a cold a few years back and the kids and I went on without him!

Last year he was just worn out but MK was open until 2AM. I ventured out alone and had a blast!

That happened to us on one of our trips. DH was sick our fourth day in, and wanted to stay in the room. We had our two kids with us, and I really wanted to take them to the parks, but knew I'd never hear the end of it if I did. Luckily we were staying at the beautiful Dixie Landings resort, and the kids were more than happy to spend several hours at one of the quiet pools, and I was able to get our laundry done. DH recovered enough to walk over to POFQ later in the afternoon so we could check it out, then we ended up having one of our best meals ever at Boatwright's that evening.

Oh boy! I'm not touching this one for fear of the shaming I'd get from my wife just for thinking the wrong thoughts. This should be a good thread.

I was sick there a couple of summers ago, and wife and kids went to DQ and then a nice dinner. It was good for me cause I got to sleep and relax and they still had a great time.

If I were sick I'd definately want my husband to take the kids and go to the parks. I want to be by myself when I don't feel good. I think my husband would say the exact same thing.

 

[Hitched2BellesCastle]

I'd say sorry you feel so bad but have fun with room service.

I know she is gonna read this......

 

[Philadisney]

i'd want him to stay with me...for about half an hour. then i'd be like, get out of my face so i can sleep, go have some fun, and bring me back a great souvenier and something from the bakery!

 

[traciedee]

If we had the kids-leave spouse behind and go to parks.

If no kids, I wouldn't go cause I wouldn't have any fun with out him!

 

[Mister Incredible]

I would want the wife and kids to go to the parks. Why should they be miserable just because I am?

I'd be just fine sleeping.

DITTO DITTO FOR ME! Please leave me alone when I am sick!!! So everyone, pls go ahead without me!! No problem!!

My thoughts exactly! We don't have kids yet but I know there is no way I'd go without him by myself

 

[roliepolieoliefan]

My DH wouldn't even question it, I know he would expect me to go to the parks. We have a 7 year old and 2 year old, if he was sick, he wouldn't want them hanging around anyhow.

If I was sick, I would want them to go, but I'm not sure if he would venture to the parks with the kids alone, without me. He would probably find stuff to do at the resort.

If we were without the kids, I would probably hang around the resort and swim, unless it was our last day, then I would go to the parks. DH wouldn't go to the parks alone. Thats just him though.

On our last trip, November, I got sick the minute we got in the car to drive down. Nasty head cold and cough. While I managed to drag myself out everyday there is no way I would want my kids to miss out on anything because I was sick. My DH would no doubt send me on my way so he could sleep.

 

[annameg]

This happened to us in October, I left DH sick in the room and I took the kids out for the day. You can't really keep a 6 and 3 year old locked up in a hotel room at Disney to watch Dad sleep all day. He was better that night and went to MNSSSHP with us.

 

[Becky2005]

I would say GO TO THE PARKS - because he would drive me insane (actually if he was cooped up in the hotel with me & the 4 kids - he would go insane!).

That goes for both ways - if I'm sick I would want him to leave the room so I could get some rest! There would be no rest for me if all 4 kiddos were just hanging out in the room and well...he would be beyond grumpy if he was sick with us hanging around.

DH and I had this conversation just a few weeks ago.

It was the last weekend of hunting season and I had a terrible stomach virus....puking.....diarreah.......BAD!!! He went on hunting and left me home with the kids. I was in the bed sick all day....they basically took care of themselves. He called a couple of times and asked "do you want me to come home?" I felt bad because it was the last weekend of hunting and said...."just do what you think you should do"......well guess what? HUNTING WON!!!!

When he got home he said, "well if we were at disney and I were sick you wouldn't stay in the room with me, you would go to the parks......and I said yeah but I would take the kids WITH ME!!! Let's just say he had a lot of making up to do after that one.

 

[doombuggy3]

Good question!!! Of course I would tell my DBR to go, I don't know if he would. If either one of us was sick with a stomach virus, the other one would for sure stay (we had something like this happen before). If he was sick with a cold, I would still go do things (by things I mean shop to my content without hearing complaints! ), probably not hit the parks solo just because I'd start to feel guilty. I suppose it'd be different if we'd have kids though, I'm with everyone else who says it'd be hard to sleep with them in the room with me.

 

[Lizzybee]

To the poster with the hunting trip husband...
Nope he should have stayed home, if not for your sake for the kids. It is incredibly miserable to be feverish/vomitting sick and have kids to take care of on top of that. Kids still have to eat, still make messes, still argue with each other and still are kids.
Now as for the original question, if I were sick cold/flu whatever, I'd want someone to take my kids somewhere, anywhere. I'd want to sleep not be cooped in a hotel room, feeling sick with a bunch of bored and crabby people hovering around me.
I suppose if it were my boyfriend who wasn't feeling well and the kids weren't with, I'd let him decide but I feel that he'd probably want me to go if I wanted to. If the kids were there, I'd take them somewhere, there'd be no sleeping with them around.
I guess some people probably would feel bad or hurt that their DW/DH/SO was out having a blast without them while they were sick and miserable. I'd say I'd have to be very sick to stay in the room and if I felt that bad, I'd want everyone to GO AWAY and let me sleep.

If my husband were sick, and was in DW I would leave his a** so quick, no just kidding! If he was ok to take care of himself, I would go and check in with cell phone and I would expect him to do the same.
