Poor DH -- I am really a rotten wife! :(

I could AW my DH practically every day, he is really a great husband and a great father.  He went away for a guys' weekend in Sept and ever since has encouraged me to get away for a weekend of my own.  So this past weekend my BFF and I went to LA for 3 nights.  We just hung out, ate great food, shopped, and most importantly -- I slept a lot and VERY late.  It was great.

Last night, though, DD was up and crying in the middle of the night and for some reason it really got to me and I accused DH of screwing up her routine.  He and my Mom were both here to take care of her and I know it was really hard for him to deal with his annoying MIL all weekend so that I could be out and have some fun.  When I got home yesterday I complemented him on taking great care of DD and putting up w/ my Mom and also thanked him profusely for being so supportive of a weekend trip to myself.  But I just flipped out in the middle of the night last night like a crazy person and voided all the nice things I said, I think.  I feel like a TOTAL jerk.  I want to make it up to him.  I just hope I haven't really hurt his feelings.  I tried to explain this morning that I just had a middle of the night freak-out, but I still feel like an @ss.

Make him his favorite meal for dinner tonight and add a special dessert. Remind him again how great it was for him to encourage you to take the trip and how great he did with dd while you were away and that you really appreciate everything he does. That will make up for the freak-out.

First of all, very jealous of your weekend away!!!! How fun! How was it being away from Stella that long? Not sure I could do it....but my DH has encouraged me to do the same.

 

I freak out all the time on DH over silly things when I'm tired and things arent going right with the baby. I yelled at him so many times during her colic!! He has come to accept it now...I always apologize the next day and we usually just laugh about it and talk about my "evil twin!" I'm sure Dh forgives you!

Freak-outs happen - especially in the middle of the night! I've done this myself - just keep being open and honest with each other. Acknowledging the freak-out is a good thing - it shows you do care about his feelings and that you acknowledge that you were wrong at the time. I 'm sure DH understands!

I did miss Stella & DH and of course was worried about not being *the* primary one to take care of her, but I needed the rest so badly!  Maybe you could get away for just a night or two.  I love the new siggy pic of Emma, BTW!
