The expression derives from the premise that there is a clear gender divide when it comes to coping with everyday illnesses like common colds: women knuckle down and soldier on regardless, looking after children, preparing meals, going to work, whilst men take to their beds and proclaim incapacity for several days.
Yup that sums it up. No comment here.
Having 3 kids is lots of work but during a cold it's multiples infinitely. Okay, I exagerrate but still it does get rough. Especially at night. The worst night it was like playing a nightmarish game of whack a mole. I'd get one down then another would be up. Things have gotten better but who knows what each night will bring?
