February 2011 Moms

I am being emotional I know...

but there are some things that I just can't stand. I.e. the girls andI went to church tonight, DH stayed home bc he doesn't like my church bc it's not his church but he doesn't go to his church either. Before I left I put our sheets and pillow cases in the washer. After church we went to dinner with my mom and then DH went back home and I took the girls down to their dads house (it's his weekend). I got o the grocery store and when I get home this is what I find:

an empty house bc it's boy's night so DH is out.

the washer still having the sheets and pillow cases in it.

and it is midnight and I'm tired.

I'm really just venting more than anything, I am just really tired and I wanted to be able to come home and climb into my clean bed and go to sleep. And just in case anybody says it... No I didn't ask him to put the sheets in the washer but nobody asked me to put them in the washer. And yes he did know about the sheets in the washer bc he took them off the bed and brought them to me.

ugh... hormones and being tired do not combine by any means.

  • Do you have spare sheets? If not, two comforters? That's what's on our bed right now. Our washer & dryer are in the basement and I'm not doing well with stairs so they'll be there til tomorrow.  DH is somehow incapable of putting the sheets on our bed properly (he's tried, it's hilarious to watch) so I won't even ask him to go get them til tomorrow.

  • I hear you.  It's hard in any relationship, pg or not, to feel like each person is always giving 50/50.  It always seems like each person thinks they are giving 100/100, and that often leads to hurt feelings.  Lately, I've been feeling similar because my DH has been slacking (he's admitted to this as well), and I keep finding empty toilet paper rolls, garbage from inside that hasn't been taken to the outside can, outside cans never got to the street and are running over, dishes are piling up only from him (I put mine in the dishwasher, how hard is that?).  However, I've been trying to really look at where it's coming from and I think he's been overwhelmed with a few things at work.  Today while I run some errands (I need to pick out paint colors and molding for baby's room + grocery shopping + a few other errands), he volunteered to clean the whole house.  Thank heavens.  Maybe sitting down and telling him that although you both probably feell like you've been giving a lot, there are a couple of things that would be really helpful for him to check on for you (like checking the washers/dryers) and then ask him if there is anything you can be doing to alleviate his burden as well.  And PP, DH has tried to pull stuff like that on me, "I don't know how to do this," or "I don't know where it goes" as an attempt to get out of doing something because of ignorance, and I show him over and over again until he gets it, because I know he can do it, if he just tries.  LOL.
