Hubby rant

I rarely complain about hubby... mainly because when he does make a mistake, I know it wasnt intentional, and he usually tries really hard....

But, I am here to join the masses of moms of newborns, who dispise their husband. At least for today...

Let me explain...

Saturday night was awful. LO was so fussy, and I didnt get him to sleep until 6am, only for him to wake up 2 hours later... Needless to say, Sunday was a very long day for us!

Sunday night/Monday morning was horrible... LO woke up every 20-45 mins. Was horribly fussy... kept acting like he was starving. I got not one wink of sleep. Monday was no different. My baby was so unhappy.

Tuesday was better, sleeping normally again (Up every 3.5 hours), but because Monday was just so bad, and I am notw feeling like Im gettiing a cold... Hubby said he would take Thursday off of work, so that he could do feedings the night before, and let me sleep in since Im feeling so tired/crappy....

Well, just last night while feeding LO, I thought to myself.. "Just make it through tonight and tomorrow... and then hubby is home to help!" well.... I get up for LOs feeding this morning, and who is still in bed next to me, and not at work? HUBBY! I let him sleep, and when he awakes... I ask him what hes doing, and his response?

"I took this morning off work so I can sleep in."

Me: So, youre still taking the day off tomorrow still, right? So you can do feeding for a night... Ya know, because im still trying to recover from the weekend and monday... and I feel like Sh!t???

"No, I cant now.. because i took off this  morning so i could sleep in"

 

Thank you, Mr. Selfish.......

And he had the nerve to get mad at ME for saying that was a selfish decision....

Guess who just left for work, giving ME the cold shoulder?

a$$hole....

Re: Hubby rant

  • I'm sorry...but this sounds so familiar!!  Last week, my DH decided to cancel all of his patients so he could stay home with me to help after a HORRIBLE night.  Since I am EBF and haven't pumped for bottles yet, he couldn't help with feedings...but I thought he would take the baby after he had eaten and let me get some sleep.  However, he decided he needed a workout for 2 hours!! And then climbed back in bed to "watch tv" with me!  UGH, that is not the kind of help that I was looking for!  I feel your pain :(  But I'm glad your LO is back on their normal sleep schedule.

  • I'd be so fuming I wouldn't know what to do. But I would start plotting revenge. That was just evil of him.
