Fred is an ass...
I HATE being sick when my mom is out of town and it's just fred and me. I would much much MUCH rather be completely alone.
Fred is so solicitous at first, and as long as you don't actually want/need him to do anything. The second you do, however, he makes sure you know that He Is Doing You A Big Favor and you will forever be expected to repay it.
Also, he clearly broadcasts his resentment of the fact that you will/cannot help out around the house. Sorry, at the peak of my illness I set an alarm to wake me up to feed the cats, change their water and their litter. I didn't even bother to make anything for myself to eat. It's not my fault if Fred decided to-out of the blue- clean the entire fucking house and repeatedly lament over the fact that I wasn't "going to pitch in". Sorry, I'm lightheaded and extremely congested. Bending over and scrubbing the toilet with harsh chemicals isn't really what I need right now.
Argh!!! Sorry, I just had to vent. I can't wait for my mom to come home and run interference.
