[quote=Anonymous]Help me through this. We’re a family of 5 (8,7,2) and we’ve had what I suspect to be the flu. As it’s been over the past week, it’s gone from person to person. I got sick Tuesday night, and DH got sick Friday. That means I got 2 days in bed (high fever, body aches, chills) and DH dealt with the other 3 kids. But now I’m on duty with the other kids while DH is in bed, although I’m still feeling really weak and tired. It has only been 3 days. 2 kids are better-ish, and one has a 103 fever and is in bed. It’s hard not to feel bitter about having “only” two sick days. I know DH can’t control his sickness but it’s hard. He has a high fever and a cough but is in bed on his phone (whereas I slept for 2 solid days in bed). I’m just wondering how couples do the sickness Olympics. How do you decide when one person sicknesses end, and the other begins? How do you decide who’s on duty?[/quote]
