Did I ever tell you about the 50-pound rule?

in Parenting after a Loss

I have a "rule" with my husband that he has to weigh at least 50 pounds more than me at all times. 

Sadly I have granted him an exception during pregnancy.  Though with much heartache.

    I definitely love and support this rule but it would not have worked for me when I was pregnant with K. We'll see how I do this time.

    We have a similar rule, it hasn't really been a problem for DH to achieve that goal lately.  Big Smile

    I have always - the whole length of our relationship - weighed more than my husband.  When we started dating he weighed a measley 145 pounds.... no joke.

    He now weighs 170.

    I would sneak weight gainer into his food when he wasn't looking.  LOL.  But I'm silly like that!

    Yes, you have told me about the rule.  When I posted about how I fit into my husband's jeans and it made me happy.  Sigh.  FWIW, I wish you didn't have to have a rule like this.

    just before DS was born, DH and I weighed the same.

    I was not a fan.
