Parenting after a Loss

Big fight with DH - long

Can I just ask why men are such dumb a$$es??? Last night DH gets home and immediately starts to mow the lawn (it was very long due to all the rain we've had preventing him from getting it mowed). He discovers some issue with the concrete on our firepit and then goes to Walmart to get stuff to fix it - he's OCD and can't deal with things that are broken or need fixing. Yes, I'm glad to have a DH who at least is useful around the house, however, I'm sick and LO has a stuffy nose and isn't feeling the best either and I just got home from traveling ALL DAY Sunday with the baby so I'm extra tired and feel like crap. I had to clean the house, do laundry, etc. all day because I had a friend coming in for the week last night so I hadn't even showered all day and I felt gross. So I go upstairs and shower with LO on the bed, and of course he starts crying while I'm in the shower. By the time I get out and try to dry off DH has come up to get him and says something like "what's going on?" and I said I had to take a shower because I didn't get to take one all day. He says something like "well what the hell did you do all day?" SERIOUSLY????  I flipped out and told him I was sick, the baby was sick and I had a million things to try to do - he says "well if it's too hard, there's the door". Um, can I just say that didn't go over well with me??? I totally went postal and told him HE'D be the one out the friggin' door, not me - in addition to some other choice words. I was SO mad I can't even tell you, he's lucky he was holding the baby at that point or I might've thrown someting at his stupid a$$!!!!! I just can't even believe he's stupid enough to say something like that - especially after getting texts and phone calls all week while I was gone how much he missed me and was lonely and wanted us to come home. REALLY??? And this is how you treat me when I get back!? WTF???? I'm still pissed off (can you tell?? LOL) and just want to smack him. Thank God my friend is here is all I can say. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrr - sorry to ramble, thanks for letting me vent.

  • Lynn-I'm so sorry. Our DHs can be jerks! Hopefully, he'll see what a jerk he was being and will apologize. I'm so sorry but am glad that your friend is there to distract you and unintentionally protect DH. haha

  • Wow. I'm sorry you had to come home to that.  Not cool DH. I agree, a throat punch or shin kicking or something. ((HUGS))
  • That is terrible!  I am sure he didn't mean it, but those things should never be said- even in the heat of the moment.  He is in the doghouse now, I bet!  I know my DH would be!

    I hope you guys feel better soon!  It is awful to be sick and have a sick baby at the same time.

  • My response to the door comment would have been "I'm glad you know where it is, give me MY baby and use it!" I'm sorry he's being such a douche
  • Sounds like it's time for a Daddy Day.

    Pick a day and go away from home.  Leave your son with his father.  ALL DAY. You will be AMAZED at how much better he understands after a whole day with the baby.  When you can't even pee by yourself, it makes a lot more sense.  I didn't get it before I had a baby; if they sleep 14 hours a day, why is it so hard?  But it is!!

    DH has never appreciated me more IN MY LIFE than when I got home from my hospital stay.  He immediately commented that he NEVER wanted to be a single parent, bought me a new pair of earrings and took over a night feeding without complaint.
