Well maybe, but it beats being a turbo crabby bitch all day. Don't weep for the stupid, or you will be crying all day | ||

is circumspective |
Maybe some. I don't know. When I'm sick all I want is to be left alone. My wife would tell you she wouldn't even know I'm there if it weren't for my motionless presence. I'll feed myself (very little) & get my own drinks & meds. Nothing baby-like about that. "We're all travelers in this world. From the sweet grass to the packing house. Birth 'til death.

Thread full of truth. When I’m sick, I’ll take care of myself and ask to be left the hell alone. When my wife is sick, everyone suffers. ______________________________________________ “There are plenty of good reasons for fighting, but no good reason ever to hate without reservation, to imagine that God Almighty Himself hates with you, too.” | |||

I agree I am capable of taking care of myself, but the wife likes to " mother " if some one in the house is sick, and it is my duty to make her happy and let her. That's my story and I am sticking to it. "Think about how stupid the average person is, and then realize half of them are stupider than that' George Carlin | |||

Some do. Unless I’m contagious, I’m at work, so I wouldn’t know.  ________________________________________ -- Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past me I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain. -- | |||

My wife stopped saying this to me after I drove myself to the hospital, was admitted instantly and almost died in the OR, all without complaining or asking for help from her | |||

Ridiculous generalizations. I know some men who are babies when sick, but I also know some women who are as well, just like there are some men and some women who are crabby. SIGforum's triple minority "It can't rain all the time." - Eric Draven | |||

Of course I’m never sick, so I wouldn’t know. | |||

This is the pattern in my house, too. My wife's mother generally indulged her, but when she was sick it was even more than indulgence. She still thinks she is entitled to that. I prefer to be left alone when sick. But it differs by individual, not by gender. I agree that many women seem to like to make this claim, though. The fish is mute, expressionless. The fish doesn't think because the fish knows everything. | |||

| I have not yet begun to procrastinate |
I guess I'd put myself in the crabby group. I don't want to be around anyone and give whatever to them so... Leave. Me. Alone. -------- After the game, the King and the pawn go into the same box. | |||

This, I never know when my wife is sick. She just goes about her business and I'm the same. Neither of us take care of the other, but not because we don't want to, it just never really comes up. ...Then it comes to be that the soothing light at the end of your tunnel, was just a freight train coming your way... | |||

'Sick' men/women acting like babies. Stereotype much? I guess the same can be said for backing a trailer, so... | |||

I read an article stating that estrogen causes illness to not be as severe. In other words, women don't get the same misery as men. | |||

Everyone says kidney stones are worse anyway  | |||

Yes my mom says kidney stones were worse than giving childbirth, and she has had several bouts of both issues.... Don't weep for the stupid, or you will be crying all day | |||
