Am I being unreasonable?! Ladies normally im a lurker, but I could really do with some outside opinions on if im expecting to much.. here I go!
For the last week ive had hideous flu, like sweating, cant lift my own head, just want to lay in a heap until its over flu but I cant because ive got 3 spirited tiny humans to look after, dh works 50+ hours a week so hes helping out with bed time but the rest of the week ive been crawling round the house in my dressing gown trying my hardest. My brother and mother live 20 minutes away and do nothing during the day but neither of them have offered to help out or even asked how im feeling and my fil, and both sils live 30 minutes away knowo im unwell and havent offered to pop in or help out either. Normally I don't have any help, we never ask for baby sitters and do everything for our children ourselves, but this week ive really struggled am I being unreasonable to think out of all these people someone could help me out?

Not unreasonable but if you need help you have to ask. People are caught up in their own lives sometimes and don’t necessarily realize when someone is needing help unless they ask.
I agree, ask for help. If no one helps after asking then you have a right to be annoyed
Your not being unreasonable for wanting help but they possibly might not know if you haven't asked for it, I'd maybe ask your mum if she could have the kids for a few hours for you?xx
Thankyou ladies! I was feeling a tad irrational this morning and it turns out you were all totally right I just needed to ask, I rang my brother and he came round straight away and took care of the little ones all day :)
A lesson well learnt, never be to stubborn or proud to ask for help.
