when's my day off?

Why is it that when "dad" gets sick the world as we know it comes to a screeching halt, but if mom gets sick it's business as usual??
Last week the DH was sick, even took 2 days off of work because he was feeling sooooo pale. So now (thank you very much) I have his cold and feel like hell. Do I get to sit on the couch and moan? LOL sure right. NOPE I have to do everything I would normally do, only it takes 2x as long because I have to stop to catch my breath.
Men are worthless.
