Just because you're sick doesn't mean you get to stop parenting.

(If you think this should go in a different sub, let me know.)Yesterday was a snow day, so I was home all day with our son. My fiance decided to come home early from work because we were home. Our son was kind of whiny yesterday, just wanted to be held and rocked (not in a chair, but standing. When I sat down, he cried.). Suddenly, my fiance decides he doesn't feel good so he had to go to bed. Mind you, he felt good enough to drink a couple of beers. I gave him his bath, got him ready for bed, etc. I put him down on his play mat and just asked my fiance to get on the floor and play with him. You would have thought I asked him to stand up and rock our son for a half an hour while he was on his death bed!Look, I get that he didn't feel good, and that sucks. But you don't get to just stop being a parent. When I was sick, I still did everything I normally do; took care of him all day (maternity leave), got him ready for bed, put him to bed, got up in the middle of the night. I just don't understand why I'm expected to do all the stuff I usually do with our son, but my fiance expects me to coddle him and do EVERYTHING. Pretty sure I only have one kid... via /r/Parenting https://ift.tt/2RkMN76
