I understand DH works...(vent)

but really, I have some complaints. First, he has issues about getting clothes into the hamper. This morning he piled everything that was on the floor into the hamper but failed to bring it downstairs to the laundry room. Not wanting a fight about why I didn't do laundry, I lugged it down myself.

Second, our microwave died on Thanksgiving and we got a new one on Saturday. Where has the old one been sitting since (over the stove, not a small, top of counter one) because he wants to take a picture and put it on Craig's List? The middle of the hallway. I ask him every night to move it and he says "tomorrow".

Third, I'm in a bad mood because of my massage incident this afternoon and my back is killing me. All I want is a rub. He says okay and then proceeds to lay down on the couch and take a nap. What do I do? Lug the clean laundry back upstairs and put it away. Now here I sit.

I get that he works hard, it's tiring, blah blah blah. But I am 39 freakin' weeks pregnant and could use a little help and consideration. The most I got from him this evening was "Did you take your oil pill?" Ugh! If you want this kid out as badly as I do, suck it up, have sex with me, and let's get this show on the road! So frustrated!!!

Thanks for hanging in there if you made it this far. It's just been one of those days...

I'm sorry, sounds like a rough day. You could take his laundry and put it on him while he's napping. Wink

it sounds like your husband needs a 'come to jesus' meeting.

I feel your pain. Tonight I made brownies and helped myself to one with some ice cream on top and he made a comment about how I didn't offer him one or get it for him. He was sitting right next to the pan! I just looked at him like he was crazy! I think sometimes they regress because they won't be the baby anymore.

I hear that. My husband does usually help, but he's been consumed with his beer making and not so much helping me get the house ready and cleaned up. Or doing the yard work like he should. Hopefully today will be a better one of the those days!

I feel like we are living similar lives! DH has been the same way...and its too funny because we needed a new microwave and got delivered on Monday. He was so excited to set it up but then left the big box with the old microwave in it and didn't bring it down stairs to the basement to then go out to the trash. So I have been moving it around the kitchen with my feet but its heavy. I only got to wash half of my kitchen floor because of this too....graah! He also is telling me the things I need him to do will not be done until this weekend. So annoying! I am the same as you with laundry too...he left a pile on the floor in front of the hamper and then I seperated whites and darks so it was lighter for me to carry downstairs since he didn't think ahead to bring it down to help me. I understand also that he is working and I am at home right now but just like you...hello....we are 39 weeks pregnant and its not like we are sitting on our butts doing nothing all day.

Ditto this. My DH has been like this lately too and it's driving me crazy. Can we have those awesome husbands who won't let their pregnant wives do any work around the house? That's what we need
