Men are babies!!!!! ok...there...I said it

[LoveMyJake]

I can relate because my hubby is a HUGE baby when he's sick.

I remember one time in particular when he was laying on the couch whining "I'm soooooo sick, omg even my fingers hurt". IT WAS ONLY A COLD!!!

The kids still tease him about that to this day. If he complains about ANYTHING, like a headache or sore throat or something, they'll ask him "do your fingers hurt?"

If the first thing I hear in the morning is, "My head hurts." I know it's gonna be a bad day.

Let's say I'm busy. Maybe checking email, cooking, cleaning, getting ready for the day whatever and I ask him to take the puppy out.

"You do it. I'm siiicck." (Sick is always drawn out.)

....

NO YOU AREN'T! You have a friggin' headache, that doesn't make you sick. And now I have a headache from the whining you've done. Good job, now, according to you, neither of us can take Guinness outside. Of the two of us with this horrific ailment, I suppose the strongest, most resilient person should travel that 10 feet to the door...

*crickets*

...I guess that's me.

His headaches are magical though, see mine would worsen watching and listening to his Xbox 360 games...his get better.

Uh huh. Sick. I'm sure.

He wants me to be at his beckon call when he gets the slightest twinge of a headache (and sadly most of the time I oblige) yet when I'm not feeling well it's, "Oh. I'm sorry...so what's for dinner?"

Ughh!

Oh too funny! My husband is just like this too. If he gets the slightest bit sick he's in bed for days whining about it and needing special treatment .

lol this is so funny Well, I must say that although this is very true on many men, it doesn't really happen to me. Hubby will do what he has to do when he's sick; of course, he likes it if I treat him like a baby and take care of him when he's very sick, but he doesn't really expect that from me and ask for a lot of stuff. I think that I'm the baby in the house

On New Years Eve/Day at about 2am I got a horrible stomach virus that was going around and I was up all night getting sick. So when I finally was able to lay back down it felt like someone was kicking me in my lower back. This is the most sick I had been in 2 years. Well we had friends staying over and everyone got up at 12 noonish and my husband came in and asked me if I was getting up to cook breakfast for everyone. I could have killed him and everyone that was at my house. Leave the sick lady alone. Well that night my husband came down with the same thing. I was feeling a lot better. He wanted me to get him ginger ale and pepto. I could have smothered him with pillow.

I guess I better count my blessing because my Hubby is so not a baby at all. He might take a nap during the day when he is feeling under the weather but he hardly ever complains. He had a vasectomy lastweek and took my son out that same night, took me to dinner the next night.
I guess hearing me say for all these years "To suck it up" has stuck w/him!
