vent.

Basically sometimes I wish DH would just spring into action without me having to ask him to do something (for any reason... to help with DD's freak outs, clean kitchen, give me 30 second break, etc)...  I haven't showered in 2 days (ick!)... finally mid-DD freak out, I called DH into the nursery, handed him the bottle and said you take over, I have to go #2.  (I didn't, but needed some 'me time'... I sat on the toilet and read US Weekly).

ugh...

I understand. My husband is great, and he "tries", but just once I would love him to wake up at 2am and heat up the bottle and change her so I could sleep for more than 2 hours at a time. I could always pump later. Don't see that happening though. Oh well, I do appreciate it when he does change her and feed her, and don't want to gripe too much.

Love that you lied about #2 to get some me time!  I did that the other night, but I read my What to Expect during the first year book.  I don't think that really counts as me time!  I was complaining about this to my mom the other day and she said what she always says....men are just different!   Double ugh!

if you figure out how to get your H to do things without specifically asking him first, you'd probably make millions selling your secret to the world.

we're on baby #2 and while my H has come a long way, he still needs to be asked and reminded all. the. time.  he's an awesome SAHD. he cares for the girls and keeps them happy.  but man, i would faint away if he ever just decided to do a load of laundry because it needed to be done and not because i asked him to.

Oh man, SAHDs need to be asked to do laundry? My world just got a little darker. I had this notion that there were husbands out there who handled this stuff well and that I just haven't met one. Guess I'll stop thinking I married the wrong guy...they're all the same!
