A Reddit user’s message about having to take care of his wife’s responsibilities when she became sick has recently gone viral. Read the simple, but powerful message below:
My wife has been in bed sick since Friday. Sunday is our house cleaning day. We usually split it although I admit she does most of it.
She hasn’t been feeling well all week and had let some stuff go. So I set to work doing it.
I cleaned out the fridge, there was a ton of expired food.
Did 3 loads of dishes that had piled in the sink.
8 bags of trash went out.
Vacuuming
Started laundry still at it today
Grocery shopping (I usually do this but she makes the list.)
Cooking meals (I usually do this anyway)
Got up and took her to the doctor today.
Went to work
Picked up my 12yo step son from school just now and he is sick too. I’d been hoping he could help me or at least keep me company.
Dinner is in the oven another load of dishes going
Still have laundry to finish and I feel like crying.
I don’t know how she does so much and with a smile on her face too.
Beautiful.
