Wow what a spirit crusher you are. 
My wife was sick for more than a year and could not do any household chores. She could not even pour her chai from cattle to cup. That is when I had to perfect my cooking skills and skills of taking care of other household chores.
We have three kids, who needed to eat and needed to be taken care of and she needed to be taken care of. It is because of all that care and love that she is back to normal , happy and healthy as ever. 
What is wrong with doing anything , I mean anything, for those you love and care for.
