If your spouse was sick at Disney?

[doombuggy3]

If my husband were sick, and was in DW I would leave his a** so quick

 

[Iggipolka]

I would say GO TO THE PARKS - because he would drive me insane

I can SO relate!

If my DH was sick, I would leave him in the room with some over the counter meds, and I would take my DS & my cell phone & head out. I would call periodically throughout the day to check on him.

I would want him to do the same.

The only thing worse then being sick in a hotel room, is just sitting there WATCHING someone be sick in a hotel room.

This happened to me too! My husbands "back" was hurting, and he flew home early. We still had fun!!

Depends on how sick he was. I worry. I would guess he would want me to take the kids to the park so he could get rest. If I was sick...I would want him and the kids to go to the park so they wouldn't miss out on anything. As long as I could get in touch with him, in case I got worse. When you're sick, you don't want the kids cooped up with you.

This happened to us a few years ago at Universal. My Dh ate something - sushi, I think, at the Sunset Grill (now the Kitchen ) that made him pretty sick...fever, chills....and the yukky stuff. We decided not to go to the parks, but thought instead laying by the pool in the sunshine and sipping water and gatorade would help. It didn't...so we went back to the room. I was not going to leave him, except to go to the store downstairs and get him some Pepto. I made sure he took in plenty of fluids and got him soup and cola. He felt better the next day, but I never saw him that sick to this day. Honestly I would never leave him. I know he would want me to, but I know I would not have fun without him, and I would be worried about him.

I had gotten sick on my HM trip to WDW. I got a sinus infection and that lead up to myself losing my voice. I still went out to the parks, but as soon as I got home I got some medicane. It would have cost way too much to see a doctor, let alone the medication. They don't take insurance...period!

 

[Family Fun Mom]

I'm selfish. I'd tuck him in, give him a smooch, and go PLAY!

My DD3 got sick in Sept the day DGPs came up to spend with us at AK. DD was vomiting all day. We tried getting her to drink and eat something light, but it did not work. So I sent DH and his parents to AK without us. DH was very concerned about leaving us. He called a few times and was back early. DGPs only wanted to ride a few rides. We ended up taking her to the clinic and got her medicine. It made her sleep and stopped the vomiting. So a few hours later, we all went to a nice dinner at Olivia's. DD slept right through it. She was good to go the next day. DH ended up getting sick 3 or 4 days later. (I did not get sick. Just lucky I guess. )

So if I got sick, DH would have to be forced to take DD to the parks. If it was just us, he would stay. If he got sick, he would tell me to go and check in on him. He is not a good patient!

My sister, mom, and I are all cursed with stomach problems. At least one of us is sidelined on each trip for a couple hours at least one day. We are so used to it, no one cares at all when we leave each other.

I do feel slightly guilty; however, because my sister was not feeling well during our trip to DL for New Year's Eve, and while she was sick and resting at the Grand Californian, I stumbled across a sneak peek of Mike and Sulley. I didn't know for sure it would be open the whole day, so I rode it without her.

Riding a new attraction for the first time without your family/BF, whoever, is pretty cruel. Don't do it. I still feel pangs of guilt talking about it.

Oh, and it was still open when she came and we went on it together. And yes, I admitted my wrongdoing to her. She said it was fine, but still...it was pretty mean of me.

If DH was sick, DD and I would go without him. He just wants to sleep and be left alone when he feels yucky. If I was sick, DD and DH would go without me- I would want to sleep and veg out alone.

Last October, though, both DD and DH had bad colds the second half of our week-long trip. Since they were both under the weather, all 3 of us stayed in one day. I would have liked to go do some stuff alone (and I did head over to the Pop gift shop alone for a bit), but it was good to take care of them. I would have felt too guilty having fun with both of them at the resort, sneezing and wheezing.

If I got sick, I would send my DW and DD's to the parks to enjoy themselves. Why hang out in the room if you don't have to. I would probably need the sleep anyway so I could catch up with them in a day or two.

 

[LindsayDunn228]

FWIW, we have no kids.

If my hubby was sick, I would not go to the parks without him. When he's sick he just wants to sleep, so I would probably take a book and go to the pool with my cell, in case he needed me.

If I was sick, probably the same thing. I wouldn't want him to stay by my side the whole time, stuck in the room, but I would want him nearby in case I needed him. He would probably do the same thing.

On our last trip my older dd20 and my ds3 both got sick during the night. The rest of us (including my dd20's best friend) left them at the villa and went to the Animal Kingdom. At lunch my dd called and said she was feeling better, we went back to the villa and my dh stayed with ds (who was still throwing up non-stop) and the rest of us went to MGM. My dd has a heart condition and usually when she's sick she has a problem. I could tell all evening she still was not well - when she passed up a trip on the Tower of Terror, I knew so. She scared me to death by passing out in the car on the way back to the villa. So, yes, if one member of the family is sick - the rest goes on.

I have asthma and have been treated twice while at WDW. Both times we were with others and I sent all of them to the park. A good nap does me wonders. I was back at it the next day.

 

[BYC]

I would never stay, and I would not want anyone to stay with me. What is the point? The sick person will just want to sleep! I would be out the door in a flash, and I would be really annoyed with DH if he insisted on sitting there and staring at me. Only if a young child was sick would I stay...but I would then want DH to take the other kids to the parks. I have never been into the "misery loves company" philosophy. If I am sick...I vant to be alone!!

 

[misskrystal]

When I was sick at WDW the people I went with went to the parks and left me alone in the room, which felt horrible.

That said, I did have flu and couldn't even get out of bed, so it's a little different the what the OP asked about.

A sick spouse who would expect you to sit in a hotel room with them would be VERY selfish. I would never expect my wife to do such a thing if I was sick.

 

[slo]

A WDW vacation is to expensive to be sitting in your hotel room doing nothing.

If I were sick, I'd tell DH to please take the girls and go without me and he would do the same if he were sick.

Plus.....if I was not feeling well, I would want the peace and quiet of being alone

I agree. Speaks volumes about a relationship.
