Men Are Clueless
What are some dumb things your DH or SO has said to you in regards to pregnancy, baby stuff or otherwise?
Some winners my DH has said:
"Why didn't you just pump more?" (when I only got a couple of ounces and COULDN'T produce more)
"Formula is expensive can you just keep pumping?" (No I can't my boobs are giving up, unless you want your son to starve you have to suck it up and buy formula)
DH considered making a 5 hour trip by himself with DS here is how the conversation went:
Me: Are you sure you would be able to handle him? You would have to stop frequently!
DH: I could just put the carseat in the passengers seat so I could see him
Me: That's illegal. And remember those warning stickers about airbags?
DH: Oh.
What has your DH said?

Re: Men Are Clueless
lol Your H is kind of funny in his logic "I'll just put the carseat in the front" lol.
Mine says stupid things every single day. I couldn't even come up with a list, it's like non stop stupid over here.

This isn't in regards to pregnancy, but the most asinine thing he's ever said to me was when I had rhabdomylosis. Basically you build up too much creatine in your kidneys and they shut down. When this happens your urine comes out almost black, like you're peeing Pepsi.
I was in extreme pain and couldn't squat into a sitting position to pee on the toilet, so I sorta flopped in the tub to pee (I realize how gross this is). When I noticed the color, I realized I hadn't peed in 26 hours and immediately knew I was in trouble.
I yelled down to my husband that my pee was black. His response:
"Babes! Are you sure you don't just have your period?"
I ended up spending 7 days in the hospital and was discharged early for my wedding.
When I was being induced DH became obsessed with the thermostat in the room, up and down, up and down, grilling me about what the proper temp should be. I know the poor guy was just nervous, but I was so pissed that I finally told him to
"sit down and shut up, bc I didn't want to hear his voice".
Also since I didn't have an epidural I was demanding a lot of back rubs during labor, he actually had the nerve to stop at one point and say "but my HANDS hurt".
"shouldn't he be able to bathe without you right there, already?"
Ummmm....Noooo. Have you ever heard of an infant drowning in an inch of water? Apparently not. I didn't just marry him for his brains, ladies! lol
"Why are you in a bad mood?"/"what's your problem today"
enough said!
Haha, so true!
I just LOLed at the jights.
That creatine issue sounds....awful. And right before your wedding???
The one thing I remember my DH saying about pumping, was just to pump once a day and get all the milk LO needed, that there was no sense in pumping so many times. I didn't even respond.
I went to a "FREE 1 hour personal training session" and he worked me out so hard, that he gave me "catastrophic muscle injuries" similar to someone crushed in an earthquake.
Yikes! Tell me that you made a complaint. I would have asked for all medical bills paid.
This....exactly....everyday....REALLY??? What's YOUR problem??
