You are mad at your husband for caring for his mother? I don't get it. You should be happy that he's such a kind person. [ Reply | More

yes you are and you need to say you're sorry. I'm pg, have medical issues and have 2 kids with no help..it's hard but you can do it. His mom is sick..very sick and he's worried. God forbid if you were sick you would want him to be that way with you [ Reply | More

You are annoying. It's not like he's out at bars, playing golf. He's with his SICK mother in the HOSPITAL. Get your head out of your ass and offer support. [ Reply | More

don't sound like a 4yr old who's whining. It's not like he's hanging out and you are on bedrest. His mom is very sick [ Reply | More

I'm not sure I agree with all the posters slamming OP. How sick is mil? Old people can end up in the hospital pretty easily, that doesn't mean that he can completely let go of responsibilities at home. If she was dying, that would be one thing, but a flu/infection doesn't sound like it warrants 24hour care by dh. [ Reply | More

she said she's in the hospital with a bad flu and infection. That isn't anything to fool around with. Many ppl die from the flu esp. those who are elderly and immunocomp. [ Reply | More

then I think you are reasonable in expecting that he would still help you out. A 4 day stay in the hospital is not life or death situation. [ Reply | More

you're complaining that it's bad for a son to be worried? Not like the mom is in for a hang nail [ Reply | More

no, I'm not complaining that it is bad for son to be worried. I just know that illness in a parent can make people a bit irrational, because it reminds them that parents are mortal. DH may be worried about his mom, but doesn't need to stay at hospital every waking second of the day. She's got nurses and doctors to take care of her too. Of course he should go and visit. And if she's really potentially on death's doorstep, he should be there as much as possible. [ Reply | More
