So I've hit that uncomfortable stage of my pregnancy and and I'll admit I've been mildly grumpy. I have been super relaxed throughout my pregnancy and haven't had any really hormonal moments. Yesterday that all changed. I haven't been sleeping due to my RLS and the doctors told me to up my water intake because of low fluid so between the two I don't sleep anymore. I usually don't linger in the bedroom when this happenes and I let me hubby sleep because he works and I don't like it when hes grumpy. I also work full time and the no sleep is starting to have it toll.
Anyway I get out of work late last night and it takes me an hour to drive home from work due to traffic. I use the bathroom before I leave because I know its going to take so long to get home.. I sit in more traffic then usual and by the time I pull in the drive way I'm just about to wet my pants. My hubby is home but all the lights are off I think weird but I go in and I can't even get in the door because my dogs are so happy I'm home because that means its dinner time that I cant get in the door. Finally get them to move only to trip over my husbands shoes right in the middle of the floor that I didn't see between the dogs and no lights and I fell down. Well when I fell my bladder that I had been so desperately trying to control let go. I was so embarrassed and upset not to mention ticked off that I sat on the floor and cried while the dogs sat in my lap and gave me kisses because I was upset.
I go into the bedroom to find my stupid husband asleep with the TV on and when I ask him WTH he was sleeping for he said I'm tired. I asked from what he said he didn't know but he was planning to go out to the bar later so he wanted to take a nap. So i snapped at hima nd told him if he was so dang tired that he should be staying home instead of taking a nap. On top of that I yelled at him for his shoes which I have said time and time again not to leave in the kitchen! He finally asks me why I changing and lookes down and starts laughing! I was so mad I could have punched him in the face but I grabbed some clothes and went to the bathroom to take a shower.
I come out he hasn't fed the dogs so I did and while hes still laying in bed he asks me whats for dinner and I told him to get out of bed and figure it out for himself and went into the living room to relax for a few minutes. About half an hour later I go back into the kitchen to start making dinner for myself to find all the pots and pans in the sink and the dishwasher full of dirty dishes. He was supposed to take care of those and bring some boxes down to the basement that he never did when he got home. So now I'm even more ticked off because in order to make dinner I have to wash everything in the sink and all he did was lay in bed! I was so mad at the end of the night that when I tried to go to bed he got out and told me he was going out for a little while and left. I never got a hug nor a kiss or anything at all an I was up most of the night crying and upset.
Re: Hubby vent!
oh dear, you poor thing. I'd have kicked him out to his Mom's, I hate when men don't think past their own twenty minutes and consider how will this effect the next few hours.
Especially with pregnancy brain, I don't know if i'm more upset about not getting the help i need, or simply not being able to help myself.
Wow.
I would totally consider that behavior unacceptable, even cruel.
You have my utmost sympathies.

That is completely unacceptable. I agree with PP - I could forgive the shoes and taking a nap when chores needed to be done, but only if he immediately jumped up to do those chores and clean up after you.
I've wet myself twice this pregnancy, and it's awful. Yes, we laughed about it, but my husband laughed with me, not at me (and then cleaned up the mess as I showered off). I can't imagine how it would feel to be laughed at as you try to regain your composure.
I'd seriously be sitting down with my husband to discuss my needs for a smooth pregnancy at this point. Pregnancy hormones or not, his behavior is just wrong.
Love these suggestions. But yeah, sounds like DH was being a real a$$. I wouldn't have done any cleaning, would have taken his debit card and ordered take-out/delivery for dinner for myself and if he still wanted to go out that night, he would be cleaning up after himself and taking the boxes down before he left. Are you ok from the fall? He wasn't even concerned that you fell down?
