Husband went to store

brekaye · February 2012

and I asked him to get me cupcakes, or something cakey... he came back with the complete opposite and said they "didn't have anything cakey". He came home with chocolate covered wafer things. THEN he tells that I need to watch what I eat, I'm only "supposed" to gain about 30 lbs. That kinda ticked me off. I wanted a damn cupcake or something cakey. ONE not a whole box. Just one. Thanks for the support hubs. Just wait til he's having a craving and wants me to get something for him. I have gone to multiple stores to find what he wants before. No more. I'm somewhat irritated.

I've had this happen although not often. I know DH loves me and wants me to be healthy, I keep reassuring him the baby will take every ounce of the nutrients in every single thing I eat. Plus, I actually do eat healthy and only indulge every once in awhile. I usually throw a big hormonal tantrum when he insists on me eating ALL the spinach in my salad or yogurt (which are not two of my favorite things) etc. because "it's good for the baby" before eating what I truly want which is usually ice cream or cookies.

Mostly he just keeps pressing me to eat more since the m/s makes it so hard to eat more than a few bites in a sitting. That's when I usually retort with "do you love eating when you feel like you're perpetually hungover?!"

Good thing my girl scout cookies are coming in soon and then I can hide them at work somewhere and eat them any time I want

screw that. SEND HIM BACK!

THIS. Make him go back to the store and stop being insensitive.

That's seriously annoying. MH made me switch to organic milk and is being a little over the top about the food I eat. Thankfully he works late most nights and isn't home to say anything about my dinner

Oh no, I would be beyond pissed off! One, that he didn't get you cake, cuz, uh, yes they have cake at the store! And two, because he tried to tell you to watch your weight. WTF? Husbands....I swear.

My DH would be dead. And headed back to a different store to get me what I want.

Sillygirl85 · February 2012

I would have been pissed off. Luckily my DH is overly willing to give me anything I want. I could just say cupcakes and he would ask if I wanted him to go get some. The other night he drove to three different stores looking for the specific flavor of Ben and Jerry's that I wanted. However, he's not perfect. I woke up the other morning to discover that he had rearranged the furniture while I was sleeping. That pissed me off.

Ugh. I don't know if I would send him back, but I might remind him of all the discomfort, pain, etc., that you're going to go through over the next several months and that, in light of that, a freaking cupcake might be nice! My DH is notorious for being bad at finding things at the store, but he would never dare tell me what to eat/what not to eat. I'm sure he thinks he's being helpful. Right?

THIS 100%!!! If mine wants a kid he better get me cake lol

Brooklyn Gal · February 2012

You deserve a cupcake..make him go to another store for you!

MrsRabb · February 2012

There is no fricken way my DH would dare comment on anything that I eat/would want to eat. I would probably injure someone that told me how to eat, more power to the ladies that feel DH has a right to say something!

To OP, next time I hope it goes better!

kes77 · February 2012

Oh my......I don't know what would irritate me more.....him not bringing home the cupcake or the fact that he dared to mention how much weight I should gain. I hope he was only joking???!!!

266psyche · February 2012

Hmmmm... The question is? Is your husband really that superficial? We can understand that from his perspective you don't look any different to him and until he sees an ultra sound or hears a heart beat then it will be real. Also he's use to you giving him all the attention and suddenly this baby is taking center stage and it's not even here yet. He's just panicking that his life as he knows is over "which it technically is, but that your youth and fun selfs are being high jacked. We're lucky cuz we get all these body changes that ease us into it. For them they just get a baby one day and have to suddenly feel bonded.

this!!! I'd have been sooooo pissed.

NerdHerder29 · February 2012

Oh hell no. That would not fly in my house.

runnergirl326 · February 2012

MH comments on a regular basis about not gaining any extra weight. I know he is concerned about me, but there are times I have to tell him to just leave it alone and let me eat.

I was very thankful that my SIL told me infront of MH that if junk food is all I can keep down, then eat the junk food because at least you are eating! haha.

Hang in there! And I hope you get your cupcake!

amygirl1976 · February 2012

Oh, I so hear you.

Mine insists that my M/S is worse because I'm not eating well. The other day, the only thing I could get down was a donut and he was all over me for it.

He doesn't get it at all. I'm about to just give up and not include him in anything. I'll deliver this baby myself!!!

(DISCLAIMER: Those were hormones talking.)

brekaye · February 2012

I feel better knowing you gals are on my side. He was totally joking about the weight thing but he knows it pissed me off and I don't think he'll be saying anything again. If he does, I think I am going to have to flip the eff out on him.

We had a "discussion" about his lack of finding what I wanted at the store. I told him the only reason he brought those stupid wafer things is because he wanted them as he had already busted into the box before he got home. I pointed out that I have made multiple stops for him before and it's the least he can do for me. He offered to go back after we had our discussion but it was already late. I should have made him go back on principle. I'm going to get a cupcake today...maybe two! and I'm not sharing!
