2nd Trimester
Bun is havin' a bad week.
Seriously.
First he's all "toughen up" when I have a headache.
Then his response to me not wanting to stick my hand down the sink is, "What're you going to do when the HH gets here and you have to change a diaper?!"
He wouldn't help me carry the laundry yesterday until somebody ELSE'S boyfriend did so first.
And today he gets all upset with me 'cause I don't really get hungry, 'cause I still feel like sh!t most of the day, every day, so he's like, "I'd like to have breakfast some time before work." Meaning, he waited until 2:30 pm to say anything about me making him some lunch or whatever.
I've told him a billion times that he has to remind me when he begins to get hungry, or I won't think about eating... but no. He doesn't. And then he's all, "What are you going to do when you have to feed the HH on a schedule?!"
And I'm all, "Since the HH isn't a 38 year old man, I guess I will figure something out."
Sheesh.

Re: Bun is havin' a bad week.
Hit him over the head with a beer bottle and tell him to "toughen up"
Just sayin'
Toughen up??
Won't help you carry laundry??
Ummmmmm he sounds awesome! Hopefully he really is just having a bad week and is not a DB regularly... YIKES!
I think he needs a reminder that he can be a self-sufficient MAN, while HH will be a completely dependent BABY. So comparing these are doing nothing but making himself look like he can't live on his own.
Also, is he so disillusioned that he thinks YOU will be HH's sole provider? If he's not planning on pitching in then he is in for a big wake up call. Not to mention, when you're taking care of HH (and as you get farther along) he is going to really need to step up in lots of areas because you won't be able to do things anymore.
Lol, He is pretty gruff regularly, but this has been an exceptionally douchey week. I dunno what is up. I think it's got something to do with the fact that he just started a new job and he's not used to his new routine yet... but whatever it is, I am OVER it.
Opps sorry!!
QUESTIONS: What is he going to do when the baby gets here??
Expect you to cater to him, carry the baby and laundry? Sounds like he needs a good smack.. take him off your christmas list LOL
Our roles have been switched lately and I think that's not helping.
I am usually the one with a job. He'd been unemployed for over a year and a half prior to last week. So he did most of the household chores, I still made all the meals, and worked/went to school.
Now though, he is working (part time) and I am not. I think he is confused as to how things are supposed to work now, because he has not done SH!T since he got this job. I don't have a problem making lunch/dinner because I have always done so, but I'm not going to do all the chores AND the meal-making because he works 20 hours a week. I'm gonna give it a week and if he doesn't step it back up, we're gonna make up a chores list. And trust that his name will be alllllllll over it.
Heh, he is generally pretty awesome, but sometimes I think he just needs a good kick in the pants to get back on track.
Of course, I think the same could be said for pretty much every human being... Except for the ones that suck all the time.
