[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op here. It’s a cold no barfing or stomach issues but a pretty bad cough too. If it were me sick, I would suck it up unless I was puking or had diarrhea, I’ve had colds and coughs which I caught from baby during the week in nov/Dec and soldiered on. I guess I am resentful bc I am already fully in charge of baby Monday - Friday. We use part time care for 3 hours a day while I work (part time) in the morning, and then I am with the baby all the rest of the day until bed time. DH doesn’t get home till past bedtime bc of commute and hours. So Saturday and Sunday (esp on a long weekend like this) is the only time we share in childcare responsibilities. [/quote]

If you suck it up when you’re sick, he needs to suck it up when he’s sick (or next time you’re sick, do absolutely nothing).

Also, I would get more childcare during the week. Men use their jobs as an excuse to get out of childcare (he could be coming home earlier and if he was the mom, he would be). You sound burnt out. I would do 4 hours a day of childcare and take that extra hour as time for yourself. [/quote]
