[QUOTE="donna723, post: 410980, member: 1883"] Oh, Star, I just watched that Dayquill commercial ... the one where he's laying on the sofa, arm outstretched, and pitifully whining, [I]"I can't reach the remote!"[/I] I would have bashed him upside the head with that remote! Repeatedly! Reason # 84598 why my ex is now an ex! He wasn't just insufferable when he was [I]really[/I] sick (which was very seldom), he used the "sick" excuse to get out of virtually everything! I, on the other hand, was not [U]allowed[/U] to be sick because no matter how sick I was, he would claim to be even [I]sicker[/I] than I was! That meant that, no matter how sick I was, I could not expect even one ounce of sympathy, understanding or help from him because he always claimed to be so much worse off than I was! If I felt bad, I was expected to just soldier on and do everything I always did, but if he was (or claimed to be) sick, he expected to be pampered and babied and worried about! It was always about him HIM [B]HIM[/B]! And when the kids were little and in day care, if I was sick and stayed home from work, he would refuse to take them to day care so I had to contend with two little kids running around all day, even if all I wanted to do was stay in bed all day and sleep!
