Am I overreacting?

in Babies: 0 - 3 Months

So DH is off two days during the week since he works weekends.  This week he's off 3 days (today through Friday) since he worked the holiday on Monday.  Today, I forgot my pump attachments.  Tongue Tied  I called him at 6:55, and every two minutes until 7:30.  I tried texting him, calling him, leaving voicemails, calling the house and leaving a message on the answering machine (basically screaming so he could hear it upstairs).  AND NOTHING!!!  I am totally seeing red right now, plus I am in massive amounts of pain since I fed DS on the right but usually pump the other side once I get to work.  WHich today, I can't, since I forgot the attachments.  So, I called my Mom and she's going to pick them up for me at my house.  If he was working today, I would've gone back to the house to get them (and could've been there and back by now), but he's not working.  He was not up that late, and I've been up every night for two weeks with the baby getting maybe 4 hours of sleep.  So the "I'm tired" excuse will just not cut it today.  Am I overreacting?  I mean, if I forgot keys, wouldn't be so upset, but I'm in physical pain and I can't get a hold of him.  Why do we have cell phones???  What if something happened on my way to work???  UGH!!!!!  Angry

    You are not overreacting. I could never bf Brendan but I can only imagine how much pain you are in.

    Wanna know something funny? My DH is the same way about not answering his cell phone so what did 8 months pregnant Brianna do???

     I shut it off. Taught him a lesson. I was in the same boat as you but pregnant and I got mad that he would not answer his phone when I needed him to and I kept asking him (when he would pick up) what would you do if I was in labor?????

    His response, "ah..... answer the phone?" I kept telling him, "how would you know if I was in labor if you don't ANSWER YOUR PHONE???".

     He got the point after I shut off his phone for a couple days. Devil

    I'd be super annoyed.  He's probably sleeping.

    I was 7ish mos pregnant and headed to L&D (again) for monitoring--I called DH to let him know b/c we weren't sure if I'd deliever that day or not--he never picked up. I let the phone ring for 1/2 an hour straight. Then called back and did it again. And again. He FINALLY picked up. And met me at L&D just in time for me to be discharged. Nice. He learned his lesson after that one!

    that is a total pet peeve of mine- you never know what could happen and you need to be able to get ahold of him

    I'd be annoyed.  FI is bad for this.  When I was pregnant, I could never get ahold of him.  I'd be in tears.  I told him if he didn't start answering his phone, I wouldn't bother to call him if I was going in labour.  It was a bluff, but he was better about it afterwards.

    You need to get another set, leave one at work and one at home.

    I think you're overreacting.  Is he supposed to get up early just in case you forgot something?  This isn't like when you were 9 months pregnant and he needed to be tied to his phone b/c you might go into labor at any moment.  It sucks that he can't just run it over for you, but just go get what you need.
