Babies: 9 - 12 Months

It must be nice being a guy sometimes...

Not that I don't love being a woman, but seriously? ?I would love to be a guy for just one day and know what it feels like to just sleep in complete bliss and snore all I want without a care in the world, knowing my wife was just tending to everything that needs to get done.

This is totally unrelated to Father's Day...DH is sleeping in, which he does anyway because he works a late shift and is up most of the night. ?I don't care that he sleeps in especially because today is his day and if he wants to sleep so be it. ? DH let me sleep in yesterday (which still involved getting up at 6:00 am because DS woke up early and I BF so I had to BF, change a diaper, then try to go back to sleep which took forever since I kept hearing DS and felt too guilty staying in bed!). ?It's just amazing to me that DH can sleep through anything, comes home to a clean house (ok most of the time, I'm not a martyr for goodness sakes!), clean laundry in his drawer, DS taken care of, a nice dinner/lunch on the table.

I know he has his stresses too...but I just kinda want to trade spots. ?Just for one day.?

Re: It must be nice being a guy sometimes...

  • My DH works at night also and I have had these exact thoughts numerous times. Not in a bitter jealous sense either. Just in a "Wow, I couldn't imagine what it must be like to be him." B/c I also feel guilty when I don't do everything and I put my whole life into caring for DD when I'm not at work. He's involved w/ DD when he's around, but any bystander can see the difference between him and me b/c our level of involvement is different. His is more playful while mine is more caring (i.e. I take care of the majority of her needs). And he can always trust that I've taken care of her needs.

  • I feel ya, girl! My DH must think that magic makes his clothes clean and in the drawer, too.

  • Like right now...DS woke up waay early from his nap (grrrrr), and is starting to fuss. ?DH has told me before that sometimes he will wake briefly when he hears DS and then just roll over and go back to sleep. ?He knows I will go get DS and take care of it.

    Just saying, it must be nice to have that peace of mind!?
