Letting the bear sleep

brekayebrekaye
in October 2012 Moms

Otherwise known as my husband. He started his nap at 3pm and it's now almost 6pm and I have no intention of waking him up - does that make me a bad person? I don't think so. We have been at each others throats all day and I'm tired of dealing with him.

I'm not real sure how to make him aware that we will both soon be sleep deprived (instead of just me) and we need to figure out how to get along. We are supposed to be a team, but haven't been acting that way.

He said he was going to help with all the laundry, dishes (which he DID do) and some other honey do's since I'm supposed to be on bed rest, but with the exception of the dishes, nothing else has been done....because of his needing a nap. Whatever. He had no clue how tired and worn out I am, although he says he does know. I sometimes feel like waking him up on purpose every time I have to get up or am awake in the middle of the night....just to be mean. I'm feeling like a rattle snake today...or a bull shark - just mean and aggressive! Angry

Thanks for letting me vent! Hope everyone has a good weekend. I'm off to find ice cream.

    My DH is napping too, but he'll probably sleep until tomorrow. In all fairness, he worked 18 hrs starting at 7:30 last night, so he needs it. But my GOSH was he nasty to me earlier when I was trying to get him to go to dinner. He said yesterday he didn't want to nap when he got home today because he wanted to just stay up and go to bed around 9 so that he would be back on a night sleep schedule. Ok DH.... So yeah, no Olive Garden for me tonight!

    I totally get you. I posted about this same issue over a week ago, but I have a LO and DH is working and going to school so there is a lot more to deal with and organize when I cant do all the work anymore. I had to have a sit down with DH and break it down for him when we were both in a better mood. For my DH it was a matter of making it clear what my expectations were, emotionally and also with what needs to be done. I typically take care of a lot more than DH because I wanted to do it, but now that I can't, its overwhelming because in addition to caring for himself and school, he now has to worry about DD, me and all the chores around the house. I try to do what I can, but it's overwhelming and I wasn't bring supportive of his feelings because I'm so stressed about Te pregnancy and making sure everything else gets done still. Since then he has really pulled through and has been a total trooper about everything.
