As a man, I can’t imagine living like this. You’re an adult…your wife is not your mother! But yep, I know the type.

If somebody could invent an anti-man cold pill that takes effect 30 seconds after swallowing, they'd be a gazillionaire.
I am so ******* tired of being sick.
Someone in this house has been sick for over 7 months now. It's a ******* joke

Alway keep two bottles whether its NyQuil or generic in the cabinet. Screw the measuring cup, three swigs a night does wonders. Always cherry flavored.
It does work, but getting out of the bed int he morning is hard. Seems like it makes everything settle.
In college, I had strep throat my sophomore year. Took a capful of everclear every hour one day. Next day, no more sore throat, and a ton more energy.
Somehow this reminds me of giving birth to my nine pound behemoth.
Doctor got stuck in blizzard and arrived about 20 seconds before baby. No episiotomy and also no drugs or epidural. So stitching me up took longer without a clean cut, but there is so much pain in the area, you don’t feel the stitching at all really anyway.
The nurse tells me she’s going to bring my baby to me during the sewing project, my husband has fallen asleep with him already. Her description was “he’s exhausted from doing nothing.” Accurate. Until the last half hour waiting to push because the doctor wasn’t there, labor was one of the easiest I had. Five hours in the afternoon. But husband was exhausted.
When he called relative who picked up our son at daycare to bring him to the hospital to meet his brother, he must have asked if we needed anything. Yes, husband needed nasal spray for a stuffy nose from that darn dry hospital air. He was going to get him to bring a nail clipper for a pesky hangnail but I convinced him that surely we could manage a hangnail with what was available in the hospital. I think we managed with the baby’s nail clipper to avoid a hangnail medical emergency.

That man is truly a hero, we are all proud of him....
I had a co-worker that during his wife's labor complained to the nurses that the chairs they had for the fathers were terribly uncomfortable.
He isn't married anymore.
Please cry me a river. Husband went ahead and picked up McDonald’s in hospital basement even though I told him it made me sick during first labor to smell it. Then he fell asleep on loveseat in the room.

My wife was in labor for 12 hours. Why couldn't they give us expectant fathers a tv to watch, or a snack shop nearby? And the chairs sucked too.
Completely! Drugs and some McDonalds at the very least.
There's zero reason why a gentleman can't have a proper chair and sleeping arrangement.
Back in the good ol' days I could've waited at the bar.
