When Poor Baby is Sick…

When the sniffles hit, so does the DRAMA . . . for some people.

  

One-third of couples say their partner “acts like a baby” when they’re sick . . . including acting “stubborn” . . . “dramatic” . . . and even “refusing to admit that they’re sick.”

 

 This might mean you have to do EVERYTHING . . . cooking meals for them, cleaning after them, covering their household tasks, running errands for them, and waiting on them hand and foot.

  

And some sick people get REALLY out of it.  A list of “extreme things” people have done when they’re sick includes:  Forgetting to make coffee . . . forgetting to pick up the kids from school . . . forgetting why they left the house . . .

 

 Forgetting their name . . . putting their shoes in the refrigerator . . . driving with a pizza on the roof of the car . . . going to work on a day off . . . and “accidentally throwing their phone away with the trash.”
