Naughty Nurse

October 21, 2013 by Amanda 6 Comments

Before we had kids, I used to be a really nice nurse when my husband got sick. I’d dote on him, refresh his ginger ale and bring him a cool cloth to calm his fevered brow.

Now, it looks a little more like this:

Husband: (in pathetic whisper) “I feel sick. Think I’ll take a day to rest in bed. Can you bring me some water?”

Me: (snarls) “MUST BE NICE TO HAVE A DAY IN BED. Last time I was sick I still had to get two kids to school and keep a toddler entertained all day while I held back my vomit. Get your own water.” (slams door)

Annnnd…scene.

I might be exaggerating a little, but probably not as much as you think.

Has your attitude towards your spouse when they’re ill changed since having kids?

    Make him or her regret leaving you and return to you with much love.

    Thanks to Dr. Excellent for saving my marriage. My name is Heather Delaney. I married the love of my life Riley on 10/02/15 and we now have two beautiful girls Abby & Erin, who are conjoined twins, that were born 07/24/16. My husband left me and moved to be with another woman. I felt my life was over and my kids thought they would never see their father again. I tried to be strong just for the kids but I could not control the pains that tormented my heart, my heart was filled with sorrows and pains because I was really in love with my husband. I have tried many options but he did not come back, until i met a friend that directed me to Dr. Excellent a spell caster, who helped me to bring back my husband after 11hours. Me and my husband are living happily together again, This man is powerful, contact Dr. Excellent if you are passing through any difficulty in life or having troubles in your marriage or relationship, he is capable of making things right for you. Here his contact. Call/WhatsApp him at: +2348084273514 “Or email him at: Excellentspellcaster@gmail. com

    I remember having the stomach flu all night and barfing every 10-20 minutes; all the while getting up and breastfeeding a 3-month old every 2 hours. Hubby slept through. No, you are not exaggerating.

    Funny, since being in the delivery room with me, my husband is a lot more reluctant to complain of a cold! Smart man! Generally though, the pattern seems to be, if it’s a mild sickness, I’ll hear something about it; if it’s pretty bad, he’s down for the count and sleeping it off. That’s when I’m happy to get him the ginger ale and cool cloth.

    well, according to my husband you are not exaggerating at all 🙂 although i must admit when a migraine strikes he’s all about getting the kids up and at’em and letting me get my sleep.

    Well, I had a kid long before I met my husband, so it probably hasn’t changed all that much. Though he takes much better care of me when I’m sick then I do of him, but it wasn’t always that way.
