Relationships, Annoying and Health: Tradwife blues

Tradwife blues

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

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, 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, 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

Today, I woke up feeling awful, having caught the same illness my boyfriend had last night. When he was sick, I skipped my friend's baby shower to take care of him. Now that I'm sick, he goes to a friend's place, says to call if I need him, then turns his phone off. Seriously. FML

The joys of pregnancy

Today, I've had a cold for over a week, and I've been coughing so hard, I bruised my ribs. I'm also 8 months pregnant. Guess where my son likes to kick me. 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.

Are you sure he's not the pregnant one?

Yeah, I have zero tolerance for my husband acting like a total baby when he feels the least bit off. I'd love it if he could give birth and know true pain!

Repeat after me: I want a divorce from your selfish, ungrateful ass. And I'm keeping the kids and the house. When you grow a pair, you can have them back. But not me, because **** you.

What a bitch... sorry OP but he has to man up! He should be treating his pregnant wife like royalty.

Women can be tougher than men when it comes to sickness, they like to be mothered. Just like women tend to go whining to daddy, no fault there just a result of conditioning.

If only men knew what it was like to be pregnant. Then we wouldn't have all this controversy over abortion (irrelevant, but true), laziness in men with pregnant wives, men complaining about hormonal pregnant wives, etc.

Not even competing with ladies making babies. Y'all are badasses.

Through thick and thin, like the wedding vows say. I guess this is one of the many thick parts of your marriage. At least you can hold it over his head when he doesn't do the dishes
