He needs to be encouraged!! to stop using the word ‘excuse’ because it implies you are making something up. You need to NOT say you have problems because you are tired because he equates your type of tiredness with his type of tiredness. In reality they are too different things. Say something along the lines of ‘The REASON I am having to rest is because I have a very serious illness - m.s.’ My guess is you make light of your problems with your children because you don’t want to burden them - possibly do the same with your husband. You need to make sure the family understand how serious/nasty etc. m.s. is and they need to get it into their heads that you are doing a pretty good job of things.

Ha ha 0173, reminds me of when my ex husband moaned constantly for a short while about the food I was preparing. ‘Why are we having cheap sausages again’, er because I don’t have any money! Anyway, sadly the children copied him. After a few days, I served them up porridge every meal, one bowl of healthy porridge. They stopped moaning and never moaned again.

encourage him with a taser, and tell him it is an MS version of a static electricity shock
He just might get the point that MS fatigue is not the same as being very tired.

And then wrap a 18 kg diving belt around one of his legs leg and tell him to run around the garden for ten minutes.
Make sure the leg with the weight is on the outside of the track.

And then stick boxing gloves on him and make him write, ‘I must be more empathetic to Sarah’ 600 times. Using a leaking pen. Then mark him for style and speed.

There was me thinking pens tops were ment to live on the floor.
They do, Sarah. That is the challenge.
Due to the potential slip/trip risk, I think a ban on pens with lids should be put in place !
oh, while we are banning things… Buttons on trousers, to reduce panic, at entering loo.
