I would like to order one throat punch please...

sare_bear · May 2009

And please deliver it to DH at work.

Since we had our follow up u/s yesterday and everything was ok, I emailed DH asking if I should go back to work next week. His response was, if you don't go back to work I expect you to do more cleaning and organizing around the house.

Well no f'n sh!t.

So I sent him back an email saying - let me re-word the question for you. Do we need the money?

I planned on quitting in mid-June/early July anyways, but took 3 weeks off due to the possibility of leaking ambiotic fluid. Now it seems pointless to go back because we're taking a 5 day vacation at the end of this month.

Sometimes I think DHs are like the dumbest animals on the planet.

I'd say a throat punch and a kick to the crotch would be be totally appropriate.

Mrs. BZ · May 2009

Ya, that sounds like something my DH would say.

Oh DH. That would be great if you could be finished with work!

frustrating...sounds like the way my dh and I communicate over email or text...maybe he didnt' even mean it the way it came across...my dh is done with school this week so we were talking about getting the house together when he is done with school for the summer so we had the same kind of conversation just he opposite...he kind of replied the same way you did to your DH's comment...sometimes the obvious is the first thing that pops in our heads...

off topic...I was thinking about you last nite...I want to go the cloth diaper route too...but they get expensive...I found some websites with patterns I think I am going to go that direction then I can pick colors for the outside and put my own twist on them...

:Runs over to provide requested throat punch:

Yeah, husbands seem to have their special moments ode to stupidity. My favorite was after I had a two day migraine and asked for help with DS, DH let me know that he was 'Really tired and just got off work.' Um, really? He was sitting for the last hour shopping for a car online. I felt little pity for him as I had cleaned up around the house, taken care of our child's every need and was exhausted and in a great deal of pain. He got up and helped me with DS after I explained that I was tired too.

They never get it do they!!

You have every right to throat punch him!!

sare_bear · May 2009

The immature child in me wants to throw all of his stuff that's laying around the house in a pile next to the front door. Along with a list of lawn work that has yet to be started. ::sigh:: But I've learned to pick my battles.

AJflowers · May 2009

Does he like throat punches? It sounds like he does...

Melaina25 · May 2009

I know DH would expect this of me if I was the one at home more often, yet he doesn't take this role himself. This is why I live in a cluttered mess.

I'm your girl Sare. You just tell me the where and the how hard.

Awesome! I wish I was talented enough to make my own! The Eco-Friendly Family board has been really helpful with cloth diaper questions. If you go the route of pre-folds and covers for the newborn stage, it's pretty cheap. When they get bigger the pockets and AIO's are the best. What I've ordered so far is listed in my blog.

Well look at it this way, you can always blame it on the PG hormones.

True. I used to get so mad when he would call out my PMS hormones, but the PG hormone excuse comes in handy. He can't hate me, I'm growing his baby!

I don't know how you stopped yourself from calling him and yelling! I would have.

Sounds like something my DH would say. Glad to know mine's not the only tard out there. I honestly think words bypass their brain and just come straight out the mouth....or email in your case.

mandy4678 · May 2009

Yep, DH's are clueless sometimes. Permission to throat punch granted.

MSC03 · May 2009

Let me sick Beatrice on him!

boxie · May 2009

I worry about DH when I have the PG hormones. I mean something like that would have sent me on a rage of fury that he wouldn't hear the last of it until his eyes closed that night.

Yes!! I am supposed to be the perfect little house wife when I'm off for the summer, but when he was laid off did he do anything? When he has a job that only makes him work 4 hours a day does he pull more of the weight? Friggin hypocrites! I too, live in clutter galore.

I've been lurking over there--What on Earth is an AIO? I can't figure it out!

All In One. It's basically a fitted diaper with a cover all in one. Which means it's just like a disposable diaper, only cloth. It absorbs and prevents leaks at the same time.

There's also OS AIOs (One Size All In Ones) that grow with the baby so you can use them from 10 - 35 lbs, like the Bum Genius 3.0.
