Stuff My SO Said

kap1988

I haven't see this come up yet on our board. What irritating/naive/hilarious thing has your SO said to you lately?

Yesterday my husband mentioned to me "when you are in the tub at the hospital and they are giving you the spinal tap." While I applaud him for knowing that sometimes women give birth in tubs the rest of it is just so off. Poor guy has no clue what he's in for come March.

"I know it sucks to be pregnant and if I could be pregnant for us I would" ❤️️

DH vented to one of his... old friends from school... (a female that I don't even know) about having a girl. BEFORE he would talk to me about it. He admitted to this a few days ago and I am still having a tough time shaking it. I just get so pissed off the only person that knows other than DH and I is this random girl. Ergh.

Hopefully that communication channel opens again soon because he is bottling a lot up that I cannot seem to get out of him...

"I don't know why you don't want to let our parents rub your belly. You need to let them bond with baby."

Um, they can bond with baby after he/she is outside the womb. That's how 99% of people bond with another human being. I believe that the pregnant woman should have a right to determine who rubs her belly. I don't even like hugging people other than DH, because I have personal space issues. I'll be cool once the baby's born; grandparents can fawn all over him/her at that time. It won't be my body they're touching and staring at.

This is the sweetest. I was the one who said this to my DH yesterday, that I wish he could be the pregnant one.... not the other way around

F that noise.

I've always been really thin, which is probably why he didn't end up in the doghouse for this one. "I'm really glad your face hasn't gotten really fat yet." 

Sigh. Husbands. 

dizzymom-2

When I first started growing my bump I told DH that I felt fat and he replied "aw honey, you're not fat... you're just a little rotund!" I then had to explain to him what rotund meant. He thought it meant round/circular (which isn't much better!)

DH has been home for 5+ months on workers comp for a torn meniscus.  Nothing serious but he has a very physically demanding job so it's more of a precaution that's he's been off for so long before retiring to work this month.  In the thick of pretty bad morning sickness plus going to work full time plus running all of the errands cause he couldnt drive at the time he says how hard it's been for him and how much his life has already been effected by me being pregnant. Excuse me but I'm the one who's nauseous 24/7, puking at 10:00pm on the dot every night, taking care of everyone and everything, and going to work. I love him but sometimes I want to punch him.

could you imagine if husbands were the pregnant ones though? I mean you thought it was bad when they got the flu..

When I was about 20 weeks with my first pregnancy, I commented to DH that I was finally starting to get a bump! He looked up from his reading and said "It kinda looks like you've just been drinking a LOT of beer lately." 
Fortunately for him, I happened to be in the right frame of mind at the time and found it hilarious.

So this is something MIL said, but I was having a conversation with my DH when she felt the need to jump right in...

We spent a long weekend in the Poconos with my inlaws who are big drinkers. My husband does this thing when he drinks a lot liquor- he sleep walks and talks and it's completely harmless, but it scares the shit out of me and not to mention, goes on ALL. NIGHT. LONG. His eyes are open and he literally has conversations with me, but most of the time it's about work and he's swearing, walking around, and one time threw his phone. The next AM, he remembers nothing. It's happened a handful of times since we've started dating and is literally the only thing I get on his case about. The last time, when he threw his phone, I told him about it and he was mortified. He hasn't touched liquor since.

Well, this weekend, we get to the Poconos and his brother makes him a crown and diet. He drinks it and I just made a mental note. After the second one, I whispered to him "I would like to get some sleep tonight. Beer, please?" He said, "Yep- this is my last one." His mom, comes up behind me and puts her arms around me and says, "I know it stinks to be the only one not drinking, but it will be over soon."

WHAT?! Lady, I do not miss drinking (I drink my NA beer and love it!) and YOUUUU have NO IDEA why we are having this conversation! I thought it was so rude!

@Gators&BoSox bahahaha the human race would probably end, if that were the case.

babyspice

@Bradleerick my ex used to do this!!! totally harmless but at the same time the creepiest thing ever, just because he was completely unpredictable!

bradleerick-2

@babyspice- Ugh! I'm glad to hear it's not just him, but MAN do I hate it.

kjd291

I was complaining about gaining weight again and the concern about losing it all, and he said something along the lines of "every man checks out his MIL knowing it will most likely be what he's stuck with in the end... so I'm prepared"  basically saying my mom is not the thinnes?woman, so he is prepared for me to be pudgy for the remainder of our married lives.

Thanks for the encouragement buddy ; p

serenity13

hahah @kjd291 my husband said something similar a few years ago after commenting that my mom was hot lol I said what?? and he responded "that's a good thing, that means I'll still find you attractive when you're your mom's age since you'll look like her." I wanted to punch him haha.... Last night when I got home from work & took off my coat he laughed at me and said "you look like a big pumpkin!" (since I was wearing an orange sweater for Halloween) ...I wanted to punch him at that point too 

jmacd22

I look a lot like my mom so my DH would probably be correct with that statement. I wouldn't mind looking like her in older age either so it wouldn't be a diss to me. 

kjd291

I love my mom and think she's beautiful! I already look like her. We just don't have a thin build.  In any other conversation I'd be fine with him saying this--he knows i did the same thing with his father because DH and FIL are carbon copies.  It was more annoying that it was his response to me saying I feel fat.  All I heard was "yes, you are kinda fat but that's okay" instead of "no honey you look beautiful" 

librarymom917

Our thermostat has quit working,  I changed the batteries out yesterday,  the digital part still won't work... DH comes home and is texting me asking if I'm sure I didn't change the batteries in the hot water heater instead. .  Like I could get the thermostat that's on the WALL that I touch every single day confused with the hot water heater.?!    I know my pregnancy brain is bad but come on.. I'm not an idiot!  

MrsFlemingo

I told my DH about a birth story I had just listened to, look up The Birth Hour if you're interested in a podcast of women sharing their labour stories, about a women who was Team Green, and after she birthed her baby, she couldn't figure out if the baby was a boy or girl and she still laughs about how funny it was, but I mentioned the woman was on all fours on the bed, and they had to pass her baby up through her legs to announce the sex...and all he took from my story was "What?! Why didn't she give birth on her back?" and I thought...Oh my god, I have so much to fill him in on the next 4.5 months!

disneybaby84

@MrsFlemingo I just had that conversation with my DH. I got, "But aren't you supposed to be in bed to give birth?"

librarymom917

@MrsFlemingo @disneybaby84 when I was in labor with my daughter, I wanted to stay in the shower, it was the only thing that felt good through my contractions until I got the epidural. DH was completely dumbfounded and didn't understand why I wanted to move around or why I wanted "to take a shower right now"   his only experience with birth had been scheduled c-sections.  He got behind the plan when my nurse said just do whatever I said to do and not to question me at all. 

Niko1e

"You want to hear a story? this girl at my work had to take medical leave because they broke the epidural needle in her back!" Seriously not something you tell your pregnant wife who plans on getting an epidural! 

CanadianintheSouth

Agh I hate when people tell you horror stories @Niko1e! I would punch my husband. My epidural went really smoothly and worked wonders! It was what I was most scared about my first pregnancy, but the anesthesiologist did it so quickly that I didn't have too much time to think about it. 

Finallyhismrs07

Last night I made a comment (as I dropped the thousandth thing for the day) that pregnancy has made me so uncoordinated. My DH looked at me with a skeptical eye and was like "You know you have always been like that right?". I just glared and gave him the finger!

Foersty

@Niko1e I hate when people feel the need to tell horror stories! Like this isn't nerve racking enough! 

The other night before bed I was feeling baby move pretty good and said to DH, "here, put your on on my belly and see if you can feel him moving!" Well he put his hand on my belly for a whopping 3 seconds and moved his hand and said "I don't feel anything". I explained to him that he has to leave his hand there for a few moments and wait patiently to feel anything, but he said "no, it's bedtime". I asked him why he didn't want to feel the baby move and he insisted because it was bedtime. I asked him again and he said "because it's weirdddd!"  What a whiney baby he is, lol! Of course it's weird, but it's still kinda cool! What a goober. 

npaulie

@foersty DH is the EXACT sane!! Then once I DEFINITELY felt the baby kick where husband was, and when I asked DH if he felt he goes "I don't feel anything". The kicks weee hard enough that you could visibly see movement from the outside, and I feel it against my own hand!!

he later admitted he thought it was weird and freaked him out. Which I have a hard time relating to. I want to be like "well, you do know this is what happens right? That little being is in there and will be coming out in another 20 weeks or so..."

Gators&BoSox

my DH is the exact opposite and tries to rile her up. Don't get me wrong, I'm happy he likes to interact but when your pregnant wife says I need to pee really bad.. STOP SHAKING HER BELLY! 

Foersty

@Gators&BoSox I love that her DH is so interactive, but I could totally see how that would be a recipe for potential disaster lol 
@npaulie I'm glad to hear I'm not alone in this. It is kinda weird when the baby is moving, because it's just something really new for us and it does weird me out sometimes, but I know it's just because the babe is healthy and growing! I told him he has 2 weeks to come to terms and then I'm going to make him feel it, hahaha. I'm sure yours will come around soon too! 

Gators&BoSox

@Foersty the part that freaked me out a little was later in pregnancy when baby is bigger and kind of sits on one side of your belly and you have this odd misshapen alien blob... or the flips! so weird feeling but I agree that it's always reassuring to know baby's in there growing and having a good time lol

I really think 2 year olds get a bad wrap! My little guy is 2 and while he's definitely busy as hell and very active, he's still really sweet. He's at that age where he constantly wants to help and is always down for hugs and kisses. However, I have heard that 3 is the worst! I think it's because at that age they've learned free will and are full of tantrums. Not looking forward to that one. 

babyspice

I showed DH an ultrasound from the AS he couldn't make it to and he said "I don't understand what I'm looking at with these thing's. it looks like a Rorschach picture" ... it was boy parts he was looking at

nicklesb

@babyspice My DH says the same thing. I I have to outline: "here's the nose, here's the forehead, here's the chin....Can't you see it?! "

wintersong

"If you looked up hot mess in the dictionary, it would have your picture."

I swear an exact quote from today. Good thing I was already laughing at another thing he'd just said or he may have gotten a very different reaction than he did....

thisisallyson

I was doing the dishes and I had my slippers on.

"Hmmm....not quite what I had imagined. You need to lose the slippers."

aka barefoot and pregnant and apparently doing household chores

Everyone in my DH's family is a little overweight and chubby...since I have started to gain immensely now, he cutely remarked "welcome to the family finally"
