Oh, how my DH suffers!

queenbone · February 2013

Pregnancy is really hard on a husband. Confused

Last night I told him he could throw out some leftovers of a food from the shower I hosted over the weekend. I had loved it when we made it for a party in September, but when I made it for this party I just wasn't as into it.

So he makes a big, dramatic sigh and says he just never knows what to expect from me when he comes home. He said I'm a food schizophrenic. (I think he's just crabby because the other day he tried to get into my Cheetos and I told him to back off my snacks.)

Poor baby, I'm sorry my food moodiness is so hard on you.

What suffering does your DH have to endure during your pregnancy?

Ha ha ha!! Mine is just sick of my mood swings :-) Obviously I've always had them especially around "that time of the month" before I was preggers, but now they are WAY worse!!!

You may need to show him our Cheetos badges. You don't touch J13s Cheetos. Back up off em.
My DH always complains about some ache or pain he has if I mention mine. Yes honey. Poor you.

Oh your poor abused spouse! His misery knows no bounds! :P

Mine has taken most things in stride. He's stepped up on kitchen duty, and doesn't whine when I'm too tired to do everything that needs to be done. However, now that very noticable changes are happening in my midrange, he iz knfzd. He doesn't understand why he can't do a full frontal body bump, or why when he bounces me on the bed by pressing on my hips I yell at him to stop! We're used to very physical comedy in our house, and I usually laugh my butt off at these things. Now all of a sudden it hurts and when I cry out it startles him. He's now walking on eggshells. He'll get used to it, but I think he's sad he lost his buddy for a while!

So my DH tore his ACL or something last Sunday as I've mentioned.

I'm trying to sleep last night, mind you, DH is off today and he wakes up around 2:30 and starts playing on his phone. I would like to rollover because I'm uncomfortable an i ask him to roll the other way so his phone won't be in my face. He says *deep breath*:

I'M JUST AS UNCOMFORTABLE AS YOU RIGHT NOW.

err...I knew your knee hurt, but I wasn't aware of the BABY INSIDE YOU. Took all I had not to punch him.

My DH suffers every second..every time I say "ouch" or make any sound or sign of pain. He panics. He suffers as he watches in hope as my belly grows and grows just praying it will keep growing. He suffers every time he sees a baby commercial on tv wondering if and hoping we will be bringing our 2 LO's home from the hospital this time. Unfortunately he will continue to suffer until we have our babies safe in our arms at home. It breaks my heart Broken Heart

Hmm... I made pizza rolls last night for my "snack" and had a few cheese Pringles as well on the side. Not healthy I know but I'm still a little touchy as to what I can and cannot eat. Anyways, my DH went to get one of the Pringles and rolls off of my plate and I was like, "no, don't touch that's mine lol go make your own" really mean I know but he had just eaten. I have been short fussed lately as well. I like country music he loves 933 so when I listen to CPU try infront of him he makes fun of it and makes up his own words to it and is louder than the music, so I have started snapping at him over it..

My DH use to complain to high heaven when I would ask him to run to the store or gas station for something I was craving. Now, it's usually my pregnancy brain that causes issues. I can only focus on one thing at a time or I loose track of everything I'm doing and so I have told him this and he gets upset that he can't ask me more than one thing at a time but I can ask him to do more than one thing at a time.

But he's getting better. Now he just does most things without complaint.

My poor SO is exhausted. It's hard work having to help out more around the house bc I'm not feeling great. Even though they cut his hours at work.

He is also lonely bc I am not paying him enough attention. I have been too busy working, doing most of the housework, and raising our three kids. He is dreading the end of this month, because that's when my classes start up again and I have a heavy semester ahead of me. Will he ever be able to spend any time with me again?

My DH lays in bed before work and *cough*cough* "I don't feel very good... I think I'm going to just call off of work" Oh, hell no you're not! I'm almost 18 weeks along and STILL have morning sickness ALONG WITH a cold and I work 40 hours a week. Get over your man cold and quit complaining!

Oh, I'm so glad I'm not the only person who is suddenly greedy with food. I feel like a rabid animal when he goes near something I've been craving.

Haha. I agree! It's just wrong to eat a pregnant woman's snacks! Snacks and crackers were my lifeline during the 1st trimester. I'd put them in my purse when we went out and DH would keep eating all of my snacks! Sometimes I'd be stuck gagging when I had none left in my purse because he ate the last one. I don't feel that bad when I snapped at him for it. He thought i was just being greedy and didnt actually "get" it until I threw up in the car from nausea.

He becomes a daddy martyr when I'm not feeling well. On weekends, if I sleep late he gets all, "well, someone has to take care of Li". I always say, "what do you think I do all day? Do you get home from work and she's in her crib screaming, poopy, and hungry while I'm sitting on the couch watching TV and eating bon bons?"

Conversation in my house this evening:

DH: I hurt my back sweeping the floor.
Me: I hurt my back carrying your offspring in my belly all day.
DH: Touche.
