[quote=Anonymous]I got a call from DS’s private school today. Another kid in class tested positive so the class needs to go into quarantine for 10 days, can I come pick DS up.
Sure. I get out of work, which isn’t easy, I head over, though I did notice they called me first, and that all the other people picking up were moms.

I work. DH works. He makes more money and I only recently went back to work, but we both work.

On the way home I call three pharmacies - none of which have rapid COVID tests or appointments available until Friday. We go to urgent care at THREE places-5 hour wait minimum, and we can’t leave the premises. No appointments til Friday. I call DH and ask him to help.

After 2 hours of searching I finally find an appointment at a small private pharmacy, simultaneously DH gets an appointment at a local hospital.
He calls to tell me and then gets pissed b/c I am already on my way to the other appointment. Tells me, “I took time out of my busy day to help
you, and you should go to this appointment.” I’m like -WTH-this is your child too. Then he proceeds to tell me he doesn’t want to ask for any time off (even though he has it) b/c it’ll inconvenience his work. I have a job too! Not only that, but it’s a somewhat new job, only one month in, and I can’t suddenly ask for 10 days off to watch DS during his required quarantine.

Big fight. 
Finally he asks his work and we split the days of coverage.

DH is a nice guy. But so clueless sometimes. So clueless. Now he’s acting like he’s a big savior for getting 5 days off to watch his child. Wants me to thank him profusely.

I’m so sick of COVID.
