I would be ticked off if my husband had volunteered my services to anyone. You don't give up your individuality when you become a couple. Larger problem is the very common lack of understanding of the difficulties of this lousy disease. You're up your down. No predicting how you will feel throughout a day. And the necessity of avoiding any thing that might infect your lungs. Getting a cold can be very serious. I know, I landed in the hospital with what started out as a cold. Maybe send you husband over with a note saying you have a chronic illness and must avoid colds of any kind. I dislike having to educate the people around me about my illness...I mean who wants to talk or hear about it. But it's necessary; it's part of taking care of oneself. So hit you husband over the head with a frying pan, forgive him and carry on and stay away from those kids for now.
