Oh DH that was not smart...(vent)

Ksych · April 2011

Today has not been a good day for me, work started off great and then ended in an argument with a co-worker. So when I got home I was so relieved, and excited that I could finally eat some dinner.What I really wanted was toast, but i had left the butter out (I must have forgotten to put it away last night.) and the bread was expired. So I called DH who was getting ready to leave work and I asked him if he could pick me up something for dinner, because I just got home and wasn't really feeling up to going back out because of nausea and the fact that I'm sooo sleepy I'm having a hard time keeping my eyes open. Let me tell you what DH says "You're not that pregnant, just go back out" Not smart DH, not smart. I asked him what qualified as being "pregnant enough" and he said eight months.I love DH, but sometimes he does not use his brain.

I'm sorry DH bothered you by saying something insensitive.

Although, I'm not really sure why you couldn't eat the bread/butter. Butter doesn't go rancid for several weeks at room temperature, in fact many older people don't keep butter in the fridge at all. Also, I've never known that bread has an expiration date (is it a best by date?). It is obviously shelf stable, and as long as it isn't dried out or moldy, it's fine.

OOOHH I know exactly what you mean!!! My DH tells me that same thing!! "Not pregnant enough" grrr! I can't make him understand that the first trimester is harder than that 8th month!! But he said there isn't physical evidence like at 8 months...I told him to go look in the toilet after smelling his deodorant if he wants physical evidence!! I love DH more than I thought I could ever love a person but sometimes as you said they just don't use their brain!! They have no filter between brain and mouth sometimes!! I hope your day gets better and you can finally get your dinner!! I just think of my little one growing and hope he/she takes more after mommy than daddy when he has those moments! Haha jk!! Good luck and CONGRATS!! Hope you get that toast that sounds yummy with some watermelon on the side!!

I would have said, "I'm more pregnant than you'll ever be, so do what I say!". lol

I'm sorry that you had such a terrible day. I think that DH doesn't fully understand the physical symptoms you are experiencing and how you are truly feeling. Either that or he was having a bonehead moment

. I hope you are feeling better today.

This. I don't refrigerate my butter, I like to be able to spread it on things.
