  • The biggest baby of them all!

    Surprise! It's the good old dh, the doctor himself! My boys have taken turns this week with a 24-36 hour flu (vomit included), and have really been troopers - just laying low, etc. DH has barely been around over the past month b/c he goes to a coffee place after work each night and studies until midnight. But SOMEHOW he manages to catch what the boys had (according to him, but he doesn't have the same symptoms. I've been sick too, you know - the one who got puked on several times). So what happened? DH came home from work yesterday - cranky as anything - and handed off his bag to me b/c it was too heavy, saying he "really must lie down". He went to sleep at 6PM and slept all night, including taking this morning off to sleep more. Even if I was vomiting, I would NEVER have been able to get that much rest - and he's still acting like a baby.

    Grrrrrrrrrrrrr.

          Fluffhead,

          I can imagine that as a male it would be hard to hear some of these stereotypes flying about. They are definitely meant tongue in cheek. Keep in mind, you guys (you and matt and the other Mr MDs) are our heroes. You are honestly in a minority. Too many hubbys are offended if they are asked to just take out the trash after a day at work....You are to be admired.....you are!

          We love ya....please don't be offended! We'll try and tone it down.

            I'm sorry fluffhead. Perhaps I should have been clear that it MY big baby of a husband, and that I'm sure there are many of the species (male, that is) who can tough out a good cold! After all, I've personally put 2 more males on the planet, and I consider it my sworn duty to make sure they can handle the common cold w/grace and dignity.

            Truly - all meant in good jest (or at least some good steam release). Please do not take offense. :!
