[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't know what to say. I've never been so sick with a respiratory illness that I cannot grab my own tissues. To me you sound needy and high maintenance and I wouldn't want you for a spouse. And I'm a female. I get it if you get your leg chomped off by a shark, but a throat coat tea? You do realize that when you actually have kids and you're sick, nobody cares? [/quote]

Wow. I, however, do know what to say: That was mean, PP.

Of course OP could have grabbed her own tissues. But it sounds sweet that her BF did that for her. It wasn't that she can't take care of herself, it is that somebody is there to take care of her and show their love and concern.

When my DH is sick I make him tea or a snack and bring it to him. I do his errands and run out to the store to get things he needs/wants. And he does the same for me. Of COURSE I can drive to Walgreens to get the Sudafed myself. But it is really nice to have somebody thoughtfully do that. Hey, I have kids AND a husband and they ALL care when I don't feel well. You know why? Because both my husband and I have modelled caring behavior. When I'm sick, DH cares for me. When he's sick, I care for him. And when our kids are sick, we care for them. And you know what? My kids now also care for me when I'm sick.

I'm so sorry if nobody cares for you anymore.

Here's a badly misquoted quote for you: [b]What is love but the irrational desire to make somebody else's journey through life a little bit easier?[/b][/quote]
