DH's need to realize...

Ciconrad

Let me say that my DH is amazing but he does not understand that there are times a pregnant woman is going to get annoyed by something that is completely irrationale.  It's just the way it is.  I will realize I am silly in an hour and apologize but please just let me be hormonal and annoyed without bothering me about it for the rest of the night.

Last night he got home and DS was in jeans I had bought for him.  He is super short legged so I had to have them hemmed.  I pinned them and brought them to the alteration place and when I got them back they were a tad short.  I am not talking high water - but when he has his shoes on they are a tad short.  So of course the first thing he does is laugh and say "Those pants are too short".  Now, my normal reaction would be to laugh and say "Yeah, they are".  But at 7 pm, my tired, hungry and hormonal self gets annoyed and says "Well, next time I'll let you put them on a screaming toddler, pin them and take them to the alteration place.  Don't be so rude."  For the rest of the night I got to hear about my over reaction.  Dude, I know but just let it go.

I hear ya.  We had a conversation the other night about my moodiness.  DH insisted that he needs to let me know when I'm flying off the handle so that I can try to be nicer.  I told him that he should really rethink that tactic because this isn't about me not being a nice person, it's the raging hormones that I can't control.  If he tries to "remind" me when I'm in a hormonal funk, it's bound to back fire on him and end in a world of hurt.  I think he got the point.

Hehe!  A few weeks ago, DH said to me "I can't deal with random irrationality for 9 months".  I was like "If I can deal with back aches and nausea and peeing every 5 minutes for 9 months, you can handle a random bout of crying or pissiness for 5 minutes every few days."

I just think it's funny how completely irrational and crazy we can be over such stupid things.  And of course 20 minutes later we realize it, but we can't do anything about it in the heat of the moment.  It's just funny.  I think my DH has come to grips with it and just doesn't say anything, he knows that if he does, I'll get even madder, but that if he says nothing, I'll come out of it in no time and appologize.  He's just learned (from trial and error) that he gets the appology quicker by biting his tongue!   

 

Good luck!

amen....

but lately i feel like my H is the one with the irrational outbursts.  Maybe he got a surge in hormones too...lol

Oh my gosh, This!!  Compared to DH, I've had very few "irrational outbursts".  I think he got the moodiness & I'm the one with the "sympathy pains"!

When Im having a "raging hormones" moment.. my husband always quotes the movie Knocked Up..

"You know what, I know this isn't you talking, it's your hormones, but I would just like to say, F#%CK YOU, HORMONES, YOU ARE A CRAZY B**CH, HORMONES--not SARA, HORMONES. F#%ck 'em. It's a girl, buy some pink sh#t."

 And it usually makes me laugh.. cause I realize I am being ridiculous.. lol. but I get what your saying..
