DH acts like he's the only person to have ever been tired

in Toddlers: 12 - 24 Months

We have a 3 week old, so needless to say, we aren't getting a lot of sleep.  DS2 actually sleeps better than many (he's only up 2-3 times per night), but last night he choked a little on his spit up and it scared him, so he started screaming at 4am and would not be comforted.

DH is all, "Babe, I have to work all day tomorrow."  What does he think I do all day?  Sit in the hot tub with a glass of wine while the kids are in the pack n play??  Come on, that's only half the day.  (kidding Big Smile)

Definitely annoyed at him.  He is still sleeping before he works at 10 while I take care of the boys!  Ugh!  Men!

    I think we are married to the same man.  I dread mornings once this baby comes.  He's been talking about what a horrible night's sleep he's gotten recently, and I keep thinking "Um, do remember having a newborn?  That was nothing."

    Every once and a while my SO lets some extremely rude/offensive comment slip out.  Mostly about how I'm home all day how is the house not clean (or along those lines)?   I always want to strangle him when he says stuff like that.  I know he's supportive blah blah blah, but when he starts acting like he's holier than thou for going to work, I can't stand it!  Also, I do work 22 hours a week (on Sat and Sunday- yes, very long days lol) and when I come home (or even while I'm at work) he complains about how difficult it is.  I try and remind him of that when he's complaining about work or the dishes not being done. Anyways, glad I got to vent a little to on your post! :)

    Vent away, sister!  My girlfriends and I have a term called "Man Helpful", which encompasses the whole "supportive blah blah blah" thing that you mentioned.  Husbands are just kind of worthless :)

    I just wanted to peek into this post to make sure you didn't steal my husband.  "Luckily" I am working full time, so DH usually can't pull the "I have to work, you don't" card on me, but when I'm on leave for this baby, I know that will be coming out all the time.  What cracks me up is that DH works the night shift 3-4 days a week, so he gets home at 8 in the morning and is usually in bed by 8:30, 9 very latest.  He'll sleep till 3:30, then he'll BEG me to let him take a nap as soon as I walk in the door from work at 5 before he has to leave for work at 7:45.  Like, ok you just slept all day and you want to go sleep some more, even though I'm 8 months pregnant and just worked all day, but you want me to do the entire evening routine with DS while you nap.  HA!

    lol - I just got done going to the store and cleaning the house while DH and the twins are all napping.  Not to mention that I was the one up with DS last night at 4:00am!  Granted DH does work 70+ hours a week, but c'mon. 

    Not to mention - men are so much grumpier when they are tired.  Seriously men:

    PUT YOUR BIG GIRL PANTIES ON AND DEAL WITH IT!
