When You Are the Only One Not Sick
Currently, I am the only one that is not sick in my family. My wife and daughter each have a sinious infection. Each are taking medication. What I find interesting is I know for a fact that my wife and daughter eat much more healthy than myself. Why do they get sick much more often than myself? Moreover, the sickness is not confined to a sinious infection. If there is something going around, they will catch it. Yes, sometimes I will catch it too, but for the most part, they get sick on a more frequent basis.
I do not really eat that much vegetables and they love them. I eat much more meat (I am a carnivore) than the two of them. Sometimes all I will have for dinner is meat. It does not please my wife that I do that, but meat is where it is at.
My daughter will like something one night and tell us it is yucky the next night. When I try to explain that she ate it the night before, she pulls a stubborn streak on us.
My daughter’s eating habits are confusing to me. Some days she will eat something, the next she will want nothing to do with it, then the next night, she will request what she did not like the night before.
Does anyone else suffer the same circumstances as myself??
Being the only healthy person in the house, as of right now, entails doing more of the work we usually share. That is alright with me as long as the both of them get well quickly.

Yes, I can relate to the changing tastes in food. I would often stock up on things that I thought they liked, only for them to inform me they don’t like it anymore. Drives me crazy. They still switch up on me but not as frequently.
I don’t know what’s up with you not getting sick. I find even when I am sick the kids could care less and the show must go on anyway.
I hope their sinus infections get better soon. Those are painful.

Thank you for that thoughtful reply. As I stated, my wife and daughter eat much healthier than myself and they seem to get sick more often. It is a true, but strange thing.
Yes, the show must go on despite how parents feel.
Thanks for your imput!
