[quote=Anonymous]These things just need to fair and generally equal. Not a tit-for-tat exactly equal kind of way, but not blatantly different standards for each partner. So if one partner gets sick and still does all the normal childcare and household work that they do otherwise on the weekend and the other partner gets a similar sickness and lies in bed all weekend, well, come on, that's not ok! So just decide what the "policy" for colds is going to be in your house, and then you BOTH follow it. Maybe something like the sick spouse gets to sleep in a bit or take a pm nap and is off dinner duty, but is otherwise participating in the day. Whatever -- the real point is that it should be generally the same for both of you. (And making sure that you are both well rested, hydrated, and eating a healthy diet can help to some extent with the frequency of the colds.)[/quote]
