So DH just dug himself into a hole...

I told him I wanted to do a childbirth class (I am hoping to go natural). He said, "Call my mom, she will school you on natural childbirth." DH's mom was in labor with all three of her kids no longer than 2 hours.

When I told him it was rather unlikely that I'd be in labor for only 2 hours, he replied, "Not with that attitude you won't."

Is there any sort of invention that transfers my pain to him? I'd spend the $120 for the class on THAT.

rease.

I busted out laughing when i read his reply and i am posting this on 3rd tri for them to enjoy, lol.

Yeah, it's called a baseball bat. Here.... borrow mine.

Have at it!

How about an old fashioned boot in the ass?

wow that would earn my DH a b!tchslap for cheek, lol.

however.

My MIL was a LLL nazi and detailed IN DETAIL every single one of her four pregnancies and births ... I've had to hear this for THREE YEARS now.

someone shoot me before Thanksgiving, please.

I think he was at least HALF kidding... but he is a smart-ass, so he already gets smacked about 5 times a day.

I feel your pain, if ANY one of the older women in my family gives me more "advice" on labor I'm going to strangle them to death. I'd rather give birth behind my couch than let one of them tutor me in delivery.

I suggest you repeatedly hit him in the stomach every ten minutes. All day.  Then at the very end of the day, grab one of his balls and pull on it. Then when he complains tell him he doesn't have the right attitude.

*snort*  I'm sorry, that IS kinda funny.

We'll be taking a Bradley class in Streamwood, but it won't end until April 21, so I think that's past your due date.

Yeah, I think kicking him in the nuts would probably help your "attitude".

So that's what it takes, then? A fast and easy labor= good attitude? Score. I'm screwed.

grab his balls and squeeze

You should shove a blunt object up his butt, twist it sideways, and pull it out... Then tell him he's having a bad attitude

You could just try hitting him for now, see how that makes you feel.

I think I'd explode if my DH suggested this.
