Dad pesters his half-unconscious wife with a 104-degree fever, asking her how to get their 4 kids ready for bed: 'I just snapped and told him to figure it out on his own'

There's nothing worse than getting sick when you have small children. If you get sick when you're childfree and can take a couple of sick days off work, it obviously still feels horrible, but at least you can focus your attention on actually getting better. Even if you're a parent to older kids, they can make their own lunches, get on the school bus, and do their homework by themselves for the 48 hours it would take for you to recover from a nasty bug. But if you have a high fever, body aches, and a sore throat, and you have a couple of toddlers running around, you're going to have a miserable time recovering. It's moments like those when it's so important to have a competent and loving partner who will help you take care of the kids when you're so sick you can barely stand up for more than a minute. 

Every parent should know how to take good care of their kids when the other parent is not around. It should not take an emergency to find out your kid's bedtime or how they like their eggs cooked.
