Parental Love...or not

[mr_booboo]

I wasn't feeling crash hot on Sunday, and slept most of the day away. Managed to make it out of the house for an hour...and got suckered into buying S2 of Jump Street. Dude, it was only $12.95, I had to!

Yesterday, I managed to stay lucid for about ah hour. Pretty much just enough time for me to walk to the Chemist and buy cough medicine and cold and flu tablets. And then I slept until 9.30 pm. I think I only woke up to take my medication and go to the bathroom. I was so bloody cold. I finally sweated it out earlier this morning. My sheets are disgusting.

Anyway, 10 minutes ago:-

Mum: *annoyed* Oh, you're awake. You slept all of yesterday. What the hell was that?
Me: I was sick.
Dad: Will you be going to work today?
Me: No, I'm still not feeling well.
Dad: Well, later this afternoon don't forget to relieve your mum so she can go buy milk.
Me: I'm sick.
Mum: *to dad* She's going to sleep again. She's so lazy.

Seriously, is it too much to ask that I have 2 fucking days to get over my flu?

And they always do that when you have no resources to cope with it.

My Dad is still pouncing on me and giving me rib-crushing hugs. The screaming and passing out has not dissuaded him im the least.

*hugs* want me to pop in tonight and bring your birthday present early?

and I think that is all parents. mine assume all illness is faked or a hangover.

Thanks for the thought, but I feel completely wretched. And weak. And my nose, throat, body is killing me.

I'm sorry that you're ill honey :(

I am glad you're taking the days, and resting - you sound like you need it.

I'd come and make you some tea and soup if I could.

*cuddle*

Aww, that sucks.

And no, that doesn't sound like too much to ask at all.

Aw bugger that sucks.

I just went shopping when hungry and have therefore brought more food than will ever fit into my draw at work so feel free to come up and steal something if that would make you feel better.

I've always though your parents take you a bit too much for granted (taking holidays from work, to work seemed a bit much to me!) they will miss you when you have moved out, maybe they can make your brothers do some of the work then.
