[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wow, what a bunch of control freaks. So typical of DCUM. OP did it ever occur to you that the problem is that just because you TOLD him to do something it does not require that it be done right away? He's not a child. Nothing you mentioned was an emergency or time-sensitive. God forbid the laundry get done on ::gasp:: Monday! Just because you want the litter box cleaned out RIGHT now does not require your DH to obey your every command. Stop treating him like a child and perhaps he will stop acting like one. Why don't you try treating him as an equal partner and see how that works out. [/quote]

An equal partner doesn't ask you to help them make their own lunch for the next day.  There are always people that blame the partner who is actually doing the work as though by doing it they're creating it, but OP's husband sounds particularly childish.

OP I agree he sounds like a PITA, but you shouldn't have even been going to the grocery store with the flu.  If you're going to end up doing all the chores anyway, at least go to bed and get better before tackling them.  Also the "man flu" thing is a double-edged sword: because my otherwise lovely DH is *such* an unbelievable whiner when he's sick, he actually doesn't realize how bad I feel when I'm sick because I don't do the same.  I have started telling him clearly "I feel like death you need to take care of me" and he's much more helpful than if I'm just being stoic but pitiful (which is what I would consider doing laundry/ grocery shopping/ cleaning dishes + litter box while having the flu).[/quote]
