DH gripe

Mini-vent here: I am working tonight, so DH is on kid and dog duty. He took them outside, which got them all worked up, and that in turn makes them hard to put down for the night. We've already returned Meredith to her room multiple times. He is now rocking Alex, and blowing raspberries on his belly. Dude, that is so NOT the way to get him calmed down for bed. Indifferent

Got any DH gripes? Surely I'm not alone in that tonight...

    I'll go...

    When I complained to DH that my planning/conference time would be cut in half next year and that every other day I'll have NO break, his response was "Well, I work all day without planning time."  Um...I'm pretty sure that you have time to go pee without someone looking for you and that you have more than 20 minutes to eat your lunch.  I take hours of work home as is so I was severely pissed.  

    They're so clueless!

    DH wants sexy time (this would be first time post m/c) but he had food poisioning all night last night.  So that = SO not sexy IMO.  He keeps saying he "can't wait for the show tonight".  We'll see buddy.

    You are still getting your correct amount, correct?--boils down to 45 minutes a day.  We are also losing conference time--getting cut in half from what we have currently, but still within the time the tea says we are to have.

    My DH does this ALL.THE.TIME. and it drives me NUTS. Unless I'm not home I don't let him do bedtime duty or else it just frustrates me to no end, AND I end up having to go in anyway to soothe DD as DH has riled her up.

    This morning DH told me how good a wife and mom I am, then spent the rest of the day b!tch!ng at me about money, things we (read: I) need to do, whine whine whine. I need a vacation.

    Sure enough, DH got frustrated with Alex and asked me to put him to sleep. So I had to get up from work, carry Alex to the bedroom, and then lay down with him until he fell asleep. Angry

    Yes and no.  Yes in that we are being given a block every other day.  No in that I spend a crap ton of time in ARDS which will be during that time.  I will also have leadership team meetings during that time.  I know I shouldn't complain and that I've had it very nice by having one both A/B days but I have so many other assignments during that time that I honestly don't forsee myself having much "planning" time at all.

    I was gone Monday night, last night and won't be home tonight until about 8:00.  I ran the dishwasher overnight on Sunday.  When I opened it up Monday morning before work, I knew would see those same dishes in the dishwasher when I get home from yoga tonight.  I get home Monday night about 10, sure enough, dishwasher is full and the kitchen is a mess from him making dinner.  Get home last night about 10:30, dishwasher still full, and now the kitchen looks like it's been hit by a hurricane.  In his defense, I know he is working outside in the yard and not just hanging out on the couch.  But for once I wish he would empty the dishwasher without being asked.  Instead, I will do it tonight when I get home because I cannot stand to make dinner in even a semi-dirty kitchen.

    DD is sick, I have a cold, and DH has a man-cold.  There is not enough room on all of the interwebs for me to write down all of my frustrations right now.

    Why is it that when both parents are ill the mom has to suck it up and take care of the baby and the dad gets to lay on the couch all night complaining about how bad he feels?  I feel bad, too, ass.

    DH and I can hardly be in the same room without fighting lately.

    Last night we had a (relatively) small argument and he tells me that my bad days are made up, that I have an easy life, and that his bad days are legit. Then just expects me to shutup and be happy? F U, buddy. You go to work, you come home, you drink, you play with your friends, and you play with the baby when she's in a good mood. I cook all the food, I clean the house, I take care of the baby, I take care of the dogs, I take care of YOU, and I work. I've had TWO whole nights since the baby was born where I've been able to sit down and do nothing, and that's only because he was out drinking (with my granite counter top money) and I'd already put the baby to bed. He does comes home from work and sits on his ass every single night.
