    Hmm. Husband. Because 90% of the time he just sleeps it off, and doesn't whine or anything. He sucks it up and sleeps it off and gets over it really fast. He'll eat anything I make too, no complaints. He's just so easy.

    My kids... they whimper and have to be held, and comforted, and snuggled, and sometimes they can't tell me what's wrong so then I'm guessing and trying everything just to try and get them comfortable so they can rest.

    When my husband and I were young and dating (like, 16 and 18 years old), he told me that he almost never gets sick but when he does it's horrendously sick. I believed him. Since we've been married I've learned that he gets sick a lot with ridiculously mild stuff that he makes into a big deal. Granted, I know that a lot of his illnesses come on because he is still learning how to manage stress, but it's annoying. I _know_ that canker sores hurt and that eczema itches and that sinus infections cause strong headaches, but that doesn't incapacitate him. He'll work through them so he can work, and then veg and complain that he's sick and can't do anything, at all, after work.

    My son isn't a joy when he's sick either, but we can take warm baths and watch movies and play quietly on the floor together. When he's sick, he still wants to do all he can to be independent and to help out, even though he doesn't feel good.

  • Am I cruel if I say I'd rather my children be sick? They're just so sweet and cuddly when they are sick. They snuggle with momma and that's all they want to do! I mean..come on, how could I not want that? ;) Besides, my husband is kind of a pain in the butt when he's sick :P

    my son ( not my daughter yet she is still so tiny and it breaks my Heart of course it breaks my heart with my son but he is a crazy kid and deals very well) when my son is sick he still plays quietly but plays, he takes his medicine no problem, and is sweet, he doesn't have as much energy but he doesn't wine or anything, he had nephomuia last year ( him and his sister both got a cold witch travelled into their chests and settling in the lungs) I was so worried when the dr told me he had it and to watch him carefully, that he may have to be admitted into the hospital, i was so freaked out, but he sat on the floor played cars cuddles with mommy and fell asleep, he would cough and i would feel bad or when i heard him wheezing but he never complained to me at all, he would still say i love you mommy awwww and just played every time i had to give him his medicine ( to help clear the flem) he would take it nicely however hated the inhaler and would freak out (it had the mask he didn't like it) anyways My fiance acts like he is dieing even if its the tiniest thing, but then he does stuff, then comes home and cry to me i'm like the rest..and baby i need you..I mean really? LOL he is a pain in the rare end too!!!! when I'm sick its oh that sucks when he is sick he wants me o drop everything in the world to take care of him LOL

    I don't like sick people whether it be my kids or my boyfriend.Makes me want to throw them in a bubble for 72 hours and douse them with bleach when they come out.

    but in reality...my boyfriend is pretty self sufficient whenever he gets a lil cold.He doesn't complain much.Neither do my kids.I am the big baby of the family.I hate being miserable!

    idk......that's a tough one. My husband has never really been sick in the 7 years that we have been together. I have no idea how he would act, though most men are big babies when sick.

    My 5yo son will just lay around and watch tv until he feels better, but my 4yo daughter will cry and cry and cry.

    I'd rather not deal with sick people at all, but of them all I'd rather it be my son.

    My wife explains to me every last joint that hurts. When she sees me she pulls a sad face and hunches down a little letting out a sigh. My daughter (who is sick at the moment) just sneezes snot all over my face and then asks for a cuddle. I prefer the snot in the face.

    Though I hate to see my kids sick, I'd almost rather have them sick. My husband is SO whiny when he gets sick. He'll have just a tiny cold and act like he's dying! LOL. ;)
