@Amelia thankyou so much! I know it can be a bit of a universal thing with dads (not all dads) being more of the ‘lazy’ parent but I just feel like he’s being a bit more then lazy🙄 but thankyou again, I’m praying he steps up and lets me get some sort of rest today x
You’re not being dramatic at all! My partner took two days off work when I was poorly, as he should because he is supposed to look after his family as I do when I’m well. It’s totally not fair and I think it’s piss poor behaviour. For him to know his own son isn’t well and not want to tend to him is disgraceful! You deserve so so so much more and I hope you go and find it! X
If I were you I would tell my partner I’m going upstairs to get some much needed rest as I’m ill and I’ve basically been solo parenting an unwell child while I’m not feeling good either and would appreciate a few hours of undisturbed sleep. But it definitely sounds like you need to have a sit down and discuss these issues. Parenting is never 50/50 as us mums are always the ones who end up doing most of the childcare but your partner should absolutely be stepping up and taking over when you’re unwell and showing a bit of appreciation for what you do for your family every day!

I'm so sorry your going through this lovely, I wish there was a way to help but of course your not being dramatic us mom's need a break on a normal day never mind when we're really ill! You've got this lovely 🤍
