I may just do it by myself

FI wants to be involved in everything (with LO), and I love that,but he will argue and argue with me about what we need and when we need it.

We have the crib, yet no mattress or bedding. He keeps putting it off, and I told him tonight while shopping that we might as well get it while we're here, b/c it's getting closer and closer to LO's arrival. He doesn't seem to believe me. He just keeps thinking we have all the time in the world. He also thinks that the EDD is when baby will arrive. Indifferent

I adore this man, but I HATE him trying to be in control of everything and acting like he knows it all when this is his first child! Umm...dude, I've been through this before. I think I know what I'm talking about.

He's just gotten so bossy with everything, so while he's at work tomorrow, I think I'll head into the city and pickup the rest of what we need. So what if he doesn't love it, right??!

    Go for it....you know it will make you feel better to be as prepared as possible.  PLUS, the "you were right, honey" will be very satisfying!  Much more satisfying that being able to say "I told you so" but still be unprepared.

    Typical man. I've been asking DH to build a simple shelf in the nursery for WEEKS and he always says he will get around to it, yet it is now the only thing left in there. I don't blame you for feeling this way, and I agree that if he doesn't love the bedding he will get over it. I found that when I got things without DH he actually seemed relieved that it was taken care of. GL!

    Definitely a man thing... lol!

    I've been asking my DH to do a bunch of stuff for a while now and it hasn't been finished, although I'm expecting it to be when I get home. We had a massive fight this morning and he always does the stuff I've been nagging him about after a fight to try to make up to me.

    just go and get it done with !!! I try and get as much done as i can when i am home alone. its so much easier. i have been asking for him to take the boxes from everything we bought for the baby and bring them to the recycle center for about 3 weeks now. apparently that translates into - throw more boxes into the room in a way that now the door can not open. seriously, its getting rid of boxes, not a kidney, it shouldnt be this difficult. i wish i could do it myself but i need someone to hold the dog so she doesnt attack the boxes as i bring them down stairs and run out the door.

    Hahaha, I can't get my hubby to do a darn thing right now either!  Goes to prove what women have always said..... if you want something done, do it yourself.

    Glad to know my Hubby isn't the only one with this attitude. Quite frankly, if I don't do it myself it doesn't get done then he'll get upset if I do it myself. Or I have to ask his mom to ask him to do it because for some reason when she brings it up, the situation is all the more important.

    I will never understand it, but sometimes boys have no literal sense of time.
