I think this is just men. I have asked for a lie in for every birthday and Christmas since our babies were born (my eldest is 3) and I have never received it. I literally have not had a lie in for over 3 years. Poorly or not. I don't think they understand how physically hard it is, especially when you are poorly. Last time I was poorly I had a sickness bug (which we all had). When my husband had it we stayed with my mum for a few days so he had peace and quiet in the house. Then I caught it and asked him to come home as I couldn't stop being sick. He never came home. I had to take care of two kids while vomiting every half an hour or so. By the time he got home the kids were ready for bed. I don't have advice but you are not alone xxx
It’s so frustrating like I’ve done this all week single handed and feeling Bledy dreadful haven’t ever felt this ill assuming it’s because my body just isn’t getting chance to recover and he’s already loosing his patience I want to scream ! Like nothing about him being home as made things any easier it’s just more stressful Can’t help feeling like a bit of an epic fail the last week

Our baby sleeps through most nights now but when she’s poorly, my husband takes the monitor so I can have the energy to deal with it during the day. Ask your husband what he’s going to do when you inevitably burn out and there is no one to take responsibility except for him?
You dont need to feel guilty, sounds like he is just treating it as a holiday!
