I just threw a baked potato at DH...

MandyWes · January 2010

I was pretty cool about him going out for happy hour(s) with guys from work today even though this is our last weekend without a baby. (She's breech and csection is scheduled for Thursday.) He promises to bring me some dinner from the bar/restaurant he's going to around 8PM so I'm like, cool, have fun! Then right before he leaves, he says it'll probably be closer to 9PM when he gets home... I had a super late lunch so I'm like that's cool...

Well, I get a text at 9 asking what I want. Well, to sum this up he comes home at 10 with cold chicken parm, a baked potato & mac n cheese and is totally trashed. (He didn't drive, his coworker picked him up/dropped him off.)

I'm so pissed I can barely speak. He's laughing and thinks it's funny how pissed I am. I say What if I went into labor tonight?? Who would I call to drive me to the hospital? Then I throw the ice cold potato at him and burst into tears.

Hormonal much? haha, he's passed out in bed already. D*ck.

i wish we wouldnt have eaten all the baked potatoes tonight with dinner cuz id be throwing them too!!!!!! i just found out that my Fiances brother, sister-in-law and 2 1/5 year old niece are staying the night at the house the night before my c-section. im super stressed over everything my mom wants to keep my daughter that night cuz of it and all i want is to spend that one last night with the 3 of them but no cant do that and the only ones who seem to notice its bothering me are my parents and myself. WE live my Fiances mom...long story no time to explain, just that this baby was not planned adn we were starting to save money for house after the wedding in may......so its not my place to say please dont come and stay and my Fiance is like well i cant say it either. so im stuck without my little girl that night plus extra people in the house when i just wanna be alone....sorry to vent on your vent. it just all went together.

Funny. (that you threw the potato not the your husband cam home drunk,)

I am also a hormonal mess tonight. It has been a long bad week at work.

afmtsu · January 2010

You're awesome and I love it.

MrsRebecca · January 2010

Seriously? If you were that upset, you should have called him earlier and asked him to please come home. Only children throw things. Adults should know how to use their words.

Seriously? I didn't call him because I didn't want to be THAT wife that calls while her husband is at a bar. I figured I'd talk to him once he got home. When talking was getting nowhere since he was so drunk, I threw my ice cold potato at him for coming home an hour late, trashed.

And what did throwing the potato at him accomplish? You didn't think of cooling off and talking about it the next day? I just think it was immature.

MandyWes · January 2010

No, I didn't think of cooling off. Again, I said hormonal, much? It was certainly immature and ridiculous but I posted it here to share my frustrations.

I don't think you should have called him. If we are all being "adults" then he should have come home when he was supposed to and not been smashed when you were at home alone. I would have been just as upset! I'm sure the potato didn't cause any lasting injury so, no harm, no foul. And it probably got out a little much needed frustration. I'm sure he knew before he even walked in the door that you would be totally peeved so he should have just braced himself! LOL! He will probably feel pretty bad about this one tomorrow!

I think she showed some self control only throwing a potato and that would take some maturity!!! Don't you think it was a little immature of him to show up to his pregnant wife after telling her he'd be home earlier and be bringng her dinner only to show up late with cold food and drunk?

I would have thrown the potatoe as well. You did everything I would have done. Not immature - Pregnant with hormones from hell.

umsldispatcher · January 2010

i think she could have done alot worse. If he even thought it was ok to be late and that wasted he is crazy. yeah maybe throwing stuff is exactly the best thing, i still woulda done it, it could have been worse. it could have a glass and broke over his head. plus like someone else said what if like her water breaks tonight or she goes into labor or something else happens. she cant drive herself and he is in no shape to be behind the wheel. it will teach him a lesson if nothing else.

I hope he cleaned it up...

Luckily, it landed mostly in the kitchen sink and it'll be there for him tomorrow when he wakes up.... thanks ladies. Smile

LOL...I'm not the one throwing things out of anger. Wink

I think it's hilarious you threw the potato at him. About 10 days ago DH went out drinking and I was so pissed I would have thrown a five pound bag at him if we had it! Looking back I'm glad he went out that night because he got it out of his system. But if he were supposed to bring me food and was late...hell no! Haha

It just seems as if sometimes you can come out of no where and make something bigger then what it is when someone is posting something. I have noticed that alot. must be your hormones but you do it alot. it's like woosh your right there making something out of nothing. It makes you look like a person who is not very happy.

This. However, I could see it completely back firing on you and you woudl probably be the one having to clean it up after the jerk went and fell asleep. Men... Confused

AmandaAllison · January 2010

I would've wanted to throw the potato, but then I'd probably end up picking it up when he passed out! It's hard enough to put my socks on at this point! haha

no probablies here... I definitely would have!

renee75 · January 2010

Good for you! Iwould have done the same thing!

IrishBrideND · January 2010

If a woman came on here and said her DH threw a potato at her, people would be up in arms.

Why is one ok and not the other?

lindsayll · January 2010

I am...

--Amazed by how many people have trouble spelling potato

--Amazed that a grown woman would throw one at her husband

--Amazed that 90% of the responses have been "atta girl" and only one person has pointed out the hypocrisy since the response would have been completely different if husband had done the throwing

--Amazed that people are so eager to ascribe all bad behavior to hormones, thus reinforcing the crazy pregnant lady stereotype

No wonder I don't hang out here more. Indifferent

Ncarolinabride · January 2010

The worst part of the story is that I would really have wanted to eat that potato! Cold or not, I have really been craving potato's lately!

MrsRebecca · January 2010

I am certainly glad to see that two other people brought some common sense to this thread too.
