[quote=Anonymous]Yes, it might be your fate. In sickness and in health, right? Nobody has the right to lifelong good health and it's not something adults should expect. If you get it be grateful because it isn't the norm. My DH and I have both gone through times of illness and chronic issues and had to take on more than we perceived to be our "share". The advice to cut back overall to-do lists is good advice. I found it much less frustrating when he was proactively working on his issues. I eventually resolved a lot of my pain through physical therapy combined with acupuncture, and the kids getting bigger so I didn't have to pick them up anymore. Back pain is tough but depending on the issue, he may be able to make some progress on it. Even if he doesn't contribute much around the house, making an effort for his health might help you feel better about this. A four year old does not need activities 3 nights a week. [/quote]
