Why is it when men get 'sick' the world stops? If me or Connor show the slightest sign of a cold, OH has to get it. But worse, and is incapable of doing anything. Connor got sick the other day, then OH started moaning "oh i dont feel well". Mine started mine on Tues, my first session of police training. I only moaned when i got home because i'd been sniffing for 3 hours(i'd left my bloody tisues in the car!) and my head hurt because it was full of snot and about to explode!

I changed the bed sheets on wednesday, it left me exhaused and puffed out. When OH got home from work i asked if he could put the new ones on as i felt a bit poo. "Yeah i'l do that" he said. When i went to bed at 22.30 i made the bed, then collapsed onto it.

Today, i cleaned out all 3 cages for the animals. I would've liked a lift to the pet shop(i needed hay) as i still feel a bit ruff. I hint at this, "I'm getting a migrane" he moans. So, off i wander to pick that up.
Take the little one up to bed(after lots of rough playing) and i get "mummy can read", i ask "why"?, "i've still got a bit of a migrane" he says. Well i've got a headache too because i've been coughing my lungs up all day!

Good job there's chocolate in the fridge, and pain killers in the cupboard.

Sorry but I laughed all the way through this - because of your little smileys! They're great.

Very sorry though to hear about your bad day. Can you accidentally on purpose make sure he reads your post? May feel guilty?
 
when men get sick anyone would think the world revolves around them

anyone would think the world had come to an end if they have even a sniffle

I am only 15 in April but i still find these comments highly sexist and think that this thread is an unjustified generalisation! i know that women can also exaggerate their illnesses but not all, just some. this also applies to men but they seem only to exaggerate when it benefits them most so please consider what you say before you say it


thanks

When you are older and wiser you will agree with us! My fella always says hes got Man flu when hes got a cold!
 
i might be an exception in that case, i already do as much cooking and more food shopping than my mom and brother put together!

Good on you then
 
i am also asthmatic and constantly having a cold/soar throat and i barely ever complain but my brother on the other hand thinks he is dying evertime he has a nose bleed so i see your points
 
I have been feeling low and reading this thread has really cheered me up ;D ;D Thanks everyone

Glad i made some of you smile. The smilies are cool arn't they! Last time i looked this had no posts, now there's 17!
Squeeky pig, some of the things you say/do offend us. Fair's fair.
If i posted this on the police forum i frequent, which i'd say is more male orientated they'd prob laugh and just make up some female jokes. Oh wait, they already have! It's called having a laugh.
Hey sars, ain't seen you on in a while. How's things?

I know a hell of a lot of men actually agree with us especially on the man flu thing,I used to work with around 100 of them before they got made redundant and thank god they all had a sense of humour when it came to stuff like that,they always laugh at themselves
people take things too damn serious nowdays and need to learn to take a joke or have a laugh more ;)

Motherbeast?! ;D Aww your mums great! :) ;)

I think my hubby must be the one and only exception, I never even know he's ill until I go near him and find he's burning up, he just says its only flu don't worry about it. He says its mind over matter, he tells himself he doesn't feel ill and gets on with it. He even waddled to work the day after a rather complicated vasectomy :o

Awww. My OH wont even consider it at the mo. It wont be for a good few years yet but says if he does have it he wants to be knocked out. I tell him, "it's only a little prick". The injection into the testical i mean, why, what were you all thinking!? You have dirty minds! :o ;D 2funny
 
Oh so can relate, my girlfriends OH is hopeless he dies nearly every few weeks ::) ::)

Yet if she gets the flu she's expected to do all the usual stuff >:(

When i hurt my leg i didn't get much help either it was a case of well it's a few days now so you should be fine, FINE i was still on crutches :P
So as usual we women can't afford to be sick as things go completely to pot. Love my man and kids but honestly they freak if they have to cope with everything if i get crook.
 
My Hubby is certainly the exception to the rule. He could have his arm hanging off and would tell you its only a scratch ;D
He came home from work early one day and had a slight limp. I asked him if he was ok and he said that he was fine and had just had a minor mishap. Turned out he's fallen off a ladder and broken his toe :o

I on the other hand do the dying swan act at the slightest sniffle and I don't believe in suffering in silence ;D

God i so want to join and rip the mick out of the men , but my husband was in a bad car accident 5 years back and had some serious damage done, so unfortunately when he wines he is probable not exaggerating, but i have noticed just recently he does at inconvenient time ?. which makes me wonder!
 
Haha I loved this thread :P My dad isn't like that at all though.. he is hardly ever ill anyway, but when he is he just gets on with everything and half of the time you don't even realise he's ill until he sneezes all over you ::)

thats a proper excuse :(

man flu is just....man flu
 
Just catching up on this thread & I love it! My exOH certainly now believes in th old saying 'CryiWolf'. Last year I made him walk to a restaurant even though he said he'd hurt his leg, he'd been winging too much around that time. I knew something was up the next morning because when I woke up he was crying - time for A&E! diagnosis broken leg ;D
