HELP !!! My husband is driveing me nuts !! He has been sick for 4 days !!!?

Question

My husband is the biggest BABY ever. He has been in bed since Thurs. mooring. He keeps asking for stuff every 20 minuets. Like get me the remote (which is on the night stand ) , for something to eat (then does not eat it ) , for something to drink (when there is a drink next to him ) . He is sleeping most of the day, then up most of the night. While I am sleeping, he keeps wakening me, so we can talk. His Mom called to see how I was !!! I told her I was going to bring him to her house !! She said NO WAY IN HE*L!! You keep him, He is yours now !!! Even his own Mother cant stand him when he is sick
So my question is if I smother him with his pillow, would that be considered justified homicide?

He has the body flue, and a sinus infection and he is going to be home on Mon.
I had the same thing 3 weeks ago , but yet I got the kids to school , and did everything around the house !!!

Answer 1

actually, that could go under the classification of accidental death........afterall, you were asleep when your pillow got on top of his face.....

Answer 2

I think all men are like this. I would give him something that would make him drowsy around the clock until he was feeling better. I usually will get him what he may need, food, drink, meds, etc. then I tell him I have other things to do and will check on him later. I try to be sympathetic but unfortunately its hard, because when I am sick I don't do all that I just want to be left alone. Refill his drink, give him some meds, and take a long walk and enjoy some fresh air.

Answer 3

Ignore him. If he wants the remote tell him he is not bed ridden so get off the bloody couch and get it himself. If he is hunjgry tell him he knows where the kitchen is. If you are making yourself something then offer him something. Tell him if he wants to sit up all night that is his choice and you have kids to get up to so let you sleep. If he wants to talk it can wait until morning once you are back from taking the kids to school. Tell him he is not a baby, you have to deal with the family and kids while you are sick with no help so stop acting like a baby because unless he is dying or he is bed ridden he can do things for himself. Just like you.

Answer 4

You are too funny! I wouldn't consider it justifiable to smother him with a pillow, but I can see how you may want too. My household is quite similar, when my significant other gets sick the whole world stops and I am expected to wait on her hand and foot. lol :) I do understand though, and I am not sure if it is just a man thing or a cry for "babying" there isn't much you can do though, if you love him you can continue to wait on him hand and foot, but you could also try to talk to him and tell him that it is difficult to constantly take care of him while you need to take care of yourself too and I am sure you have other things that you would like to do with your time besides wait on him. lol. I know that you love him because you wouldn't put up with it otherwise, but maybe you should mention it to him, he may not know how much of an inconvenience it is for you. I wish you all the luck in this one.

Answer 5

OMG YES!!! My fiancee is the same way! I could be on my death bed and I am still up getting the kids ready and driving them to school, and then I end up doing the laundry and making dinner. But when he is sick you would think the world has come to a stand still to wait on his every need. I seriously packed him a bag last time and told him to take the bus to his moms because I have 3 children to take care of and if I have a 4th it better be cute and cuddly!!

Answer 6

Again, spell check. Also, hey all men are babies when their sick. You're not going to find one who's not. I've been married over seven years, and all I have to do is sneeze, and next thing I know He's the one who's 'sick'. He's only been to the doctor twice in over 5 years! Yet I'm sick all the time, and have to put up with his fake cough to boot. If you really love each other though you'll find a way to make it work. I call my husband on his 'cough' every time and he is starting (after seven years) to get the hint. He doesn't do fake sick nearly as much as he used to. I can only pray one day he'll stop all together.

Answer 7

Obviously he is not a baby... He is only an old man trying to get a mom back, hahaha. Ok, put everything close to him... medication with instructions (just in case the poor man does not know how to use it) , water, juice, remote control... everything. So, is there another reason to go in that room?? If he complains when you go there after at least six hours, tell him you are suffering from your sick ears......

Answer 8

Honey, honey, honey...I almost laughed out loud at this because my husband is the same way and I have also wanted to drop him off at his moms house. I hate it when men get the slightest cold and will whine for days! What can I say, thats why we have the babies too. Just don't forget to make time for you! Just give him some Niquil to knock him out (the recomended dose of course!) and get a extra hour of sleep. That will do good for the both of you.

Answer 9

Be super nice. he sleeps most of the day...at night when he wakes up and starts to ask for things...and want to talk, tell him : Sure...would you like some tea??? Make some decaf tea for you and add a heavy dose of NyQuil in his...he will go to sleep again like a baby and the tea will relax you and get you through the night.... it will not last long....

Be well and good luck

Answer 10

Well I think there are some laws that pertain to that murder thing, so I wouldn't try that one, but you might try leaving his meds, pitcher of water and remote next to his bed and then tell him you will be back in a little while and get in the car and go visit his mom, or maybe a girlfriend, just don't go home until you have had time for yourself. He might heal faster if you aren't at his beck and call all the time.

Answer 11

Girl you are sooo Correct, Most Men are Big babys when they get sick and I blame their Mothers for this. Mothers tend to baby their Son's and coddle them and when they grow up they do not just want a Wife they want a Mother also. I am Guilty of spoiling My Man Also and hate it when he gets sick. Ask him next time he gives you a hard time if he wants you to change his Diaper also, uhh maybe you better not, alot of men like that kinky stuff. Hang in there!
