My DH Annoys Me Sometimes (vent)

IkesHawaiian06 · July 2011

I hate camping. Let me first get that part out. DH decided that for his vacation week, he was going to take Emma camping with his parents. He didn't ask me, he just told me. He loves camping, but I hate it. He's said that I don't have to go, but I know if I don't, I'll wind up worrying about Emma the whole time. Between him and his parents, they have a tendency to quit paying attention to her, plus with all the crap my MIL pulls, I know if I'm not there, the boundaries we've set won't be followed. This is my not subtle way of saying that DH lets his mom walk all over him when I'm not there to remind him that Em is his child and we set the rules. SO, I just need you guys to tell me that I'll survive this camping trip and that if MIL really pisses me off, my pregnant, moody self can say I want to leave early.

Really, I'm just pissed that it's the one week he has off and I didn't get a say in what we were going to do. That and the fact I have to spend the camping trip with my MIL for my vacation. I would have preferred that we camp alone before going with her. I really seriously want to punch my husband sometimes. I make him sound like a jerk, but sometimes, he is!

p.s. I realize, I sound like a total b*tch, but I'm really that annoyed over it.

Ditto! My Disneyland vacation was hijacked my mil when I was six months preggo. I wanted to kill her numerous times. Good thing I didn't though. :-) GOOD LUCK!

I would be super peeved too! Can you go but maybe come back a few days early & take Emma with you? That way your MIL won't be able to influence her and you get some Mommy/Daughter time together!

Um, dude. I would also be pissed in a major way. You are completely within your rights to be angry with him and I think he owes you a super huge favor for this one. Grr. I am mad on your behalf.

I agree with all of this. If you get stuck camping the entire time, maybe you should let DH know that he owes you big time, like a Spa Day plus dinner (with girlfriends - because he was being dumb and shouldn't get a hot date with you out of the deal).

Men are dumb. I would be super annoyed as well. Unfortunately, I would probably be all passive aggressive about it and then be grumpy the whole camping trip without ever telling my husband why.

That sucks! I would be mad too. Could you say that you were really looking forward to a little vacation with just the 3 of you as your last trip before the baby arrives? Maybe go camping for a couple days and then the 3 of you do something else. I hope it works out.

I *think* he's finally understanding why I'm upset. And I think I'm slowly convincing him to go camping from Saturday to Monday and then spend a couple days at home doing stuff just the three of us. I'm glad you all understand! I feel better knowing I'm not being overly sensitive!
