Throat punch Thursday anyone?

magentawarped · April 2014

I had to start this to vent so I don't murder my H. He JUST promised me the other day that he was going to help me out more with cleaning up in the evenings. Then yesterday a package arrives for him...a new Playstation 4. So he spent all last night setting it up and playing his new game. Fine, whatever, I knew he was going to buy it, just didn't think it was right then. I ended up going to bed early.

Logan actually slept last night from 10 pm until 4 am. He probably would've slept longer, but my H's alarm went off at FULL FUCKING VOLUME. He had turned it up because he says when it's quiet he turns it off and goes back to sleep. I think it has something to do with playing video games until midnight when he knows he has to get up at 4.

Finally, after getting some more sleep, I was woken up this morning by my 2 year old yelling from the living room. My H hadn't put the gate up on her door after putting her to bed. She had peed through her diaper and was sitting on the couch in pee-soaked pants.

Oh, and while cleaning that up, I noticed he hadn't done the dishes last night like he promised. Throat punch!

T.P to someone from work calling me to do some work on my maternity leave.... her quote "oh, it'll only take 30 min...."

@Bookshelves‌ what part of Indiana? Hoosier girl here as well.

Another T.P to any and all buzzers/alarms/things that beep in my house. The washer/dryer buzzer make me irrationally pissed off!

TP to the UPS guy who rang the door bell then ran back to the truck, leaving a package that's as big as me sitting on the front porch. How the hell am I supposed to get that inside? You couldn't wait 5 seconds for me to answer the door?

This doesn't exactly deserve a tp, as it's concerning my mother and that's a little harsh, but I am a quite annoyed. I let her pick LO up from daycare for the first time yesterday. He was due to eat at 530-- he usually doesn't stray more than 30 minutes on his feeding schedule. When she picked him up he was very upset-- he only sees her about once a week, he is still new to daycare, and I suppose he was just cranky. She didn't have a pacifier with her, so she decided that she would use formula to pacify him. First off, if he is upset he won't take a pacifier anyway and secondly, we do not use food to pacify. I asked her how many oz she gave him and she said "oh about half an oz". As she is an extreme exaggerator, I am certain she gave him at least an ounce. She then fed him his normal 4.5 oz at 530. I got him home and he wanted to eat at his regular time of 930, but would only take 3 oz. I just knew he would wake up too early and his schedule would be off. But he is off the other direction- he ate so much that he slept for almost 7 hours. He didn't eat again until after 8. He normally eats around 630 to 7. His schedule is completely pushed back and now I'm sure he won't want to go to bed until well past 930 tonight. Her excuse? "You get to see him all the time so you can afford to let him cry. I didn't want to spend my time with him with him being upset". UGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Okay, that was long...

Mine does this all.the.time. We order our diapers, wipes, and a couple other things on subscribe, so they always come together in a gargantuan box. Not only does she drop and run, she leaves it halfway into the carport rather than next to the door. Yeah, let me drag that in while carrying my newborn and trying to keep my toddler inside the house, thanks.

TP to the lady who Ive been emailing about the apartment I want when we all move back to TN. Im trying to get this finalized and not emailing me back in the past week is getting on my nerves, get with it woman!

dunvilles · April 2014

@Rbfdac1‌ I would be annoyed if my mom wasn't honest with me also.

Babies won't stay on a perfect feeding schedule though and I am sure an extra ounce certainly won't cause him to sleep a full 7 hrs. He needed the sleep. Schedules will be thrown off as he sleeps more or less.

@dunvilles I HATE that shiz. Same thing happened to me. I ended up doing it because no one else can, but still. It's the principle.

inluv4life2 · April 2014

I want to (gently) TP my DD. I know she wants attention but her behavior is driving me bananas! The whining,
Picky eating, not listening, taking forever to do things. Ughhh!! And she keeps trying to pick up the baby. I have to watch her like a hawk!!

JessWhatINeeded · April 2014

TP to our hospital for billing all LO's charges to us rather than to insurance first. She is covered. They have her insurance info & ID number, but because I didn't call to confirm it, we get the bill. I paid the first small one, but when a $3200 showed up I called.
It's straightened out now, but I was POed momentarily.

southerngal07 · April 2014

I have another one! (I must be grouchy today.)

TP to my neighbors who are on day 3 of some sort of massive tree removal project. It wouldn't be so bad if the weather wasn't finally nice enough to have our windows open. So all I've heard, all day, for 3 days, is heavy machinery. Enough all ready!

ShePersisted · April 2014

I've been waiting for a TP post all morning.

I want to TP my H so bad. Last weekend he got out of doing any baby duty as he got a cold. He in fact slept all day to get fast recovery and even took Monday off. Now I caught the same bug but he shows no same treatment- walks up to me while I'm horribly trying to not sneeze in LOs face, gives me a day quil (cause NyQuil will make me sleep) and goes to bed! Argh!!!!! I can tell him he needs to take care of LO for the night but I really want him to do it without asking. And then in the morning texts the usual hows the baby? Hello- do you not care that your wife is sick ergo baby might get sick too? Men can be such insensitive asses at times.

TP my DH for sure! He was so good when DD was first born with helping out, but now he just sleeps like a log all night, when I'm still getting up with her (I'm EPing, so he could at least feed her while I pump! Otherwise, I have to feed her, then pump, which takes over an hour). I had to start back full time at work last week (DD was 6 weeks old) so I am exhausted. I get her ready for daycare, drop her off, go to work, pick her back up after work, get her home, feed her, make dinner, keep feeding her, then try to get her ready for bed at a decent hour. All the while pumping every 2 hours, and doing the inevitable dishes that come with EPing. DH keeps finding more work to do around the farm, comes home and asks when dinner will be ready, sits on the couch and watches tv, then goes to bed whenever he wants to without helping get her ready. And sleeps all night! Last night he was naked on the bed wanting sex when I finally dragged my tired self into the bedroom at 10:30. I would have laughed if I weren't so pissed! I'm sorry, but nooky is only allowed when I don't feel like I've been dragged through the ringer with no help on his part. And, to top it off? An "urgent" project came up tomorrow that he has to help with, so he can't help me get DD to her 2 month doctor appointment. I was really counting on some help so I could get in and out of town more smoothly, but now I'm on my own (both his mom and mine usually help, but both are also tied up). I'm an angry mess today, with the tax season deadline looming and clients calling wondering where their returns are. Grrr...

ShePersisted · April 2014

@et170322‌ damn girl here I thought my H was bad but your DH is sure taking the cake. I'd TP him for you! Thee is no way I am the only one on night duty if I am working full time.

ShePersisted · April 2014

@utpony I feel the same way what's with these men? Are we not training them well!

ShePersisted · April 2014

But that's exactly my DH too. He will do dishes, laundry, clean etc. All I need him to do is show he cares and ask how I am doing? I would probably not ask him to take on any night duties for LO but just ask. Then they say we women are complicated. Ha!

magentawarped · April 2014

To be fair, mine is usually really good. It was just a series of events last night that made me want to murder him.

MissDemeanor · April 2014

Some of you may remember a few weeks ago I posted about LO having stork bites. Well yesterday we went to the mall and basically every person who did the "oh, so tiny! Let me see!" Thing, then asked me what the deal with his face is. Yes, honestly he's more stork bites than any baby I've ever seen, but FFS! He's also completely adorable!

I want to TP all your Hs for you!!

You ladies need to speak up! Tell your Hs that you need help. Night duty needs to be shared, especially if you are both working full time. You are both parents, here!

all of this and men aren't mind readers. Say what you mean and mean what you say.

Also my H was much more understanding with the 2nd child. He really has stepped up.

Flyingtoast · April 2014

TP myself. I got caught up in choirs, and forgot I hadn't pumped yet. I leaked my all my layers, LOs clothes, and the truck seat. What caused my massive let down? A neighbor's horse!

When DH asks how LO is doing, I respond typically 'I'm doing fine , thanks for asking' when snippy and tired. Or he gets a 'still pooping and crying.' One with my inner *itch!! I reminded him it helps me more if he asks what would help me more today, then just take on doing all the daily cleaning. It helps when we both have variety.

Ugh my ups guy drives me crazy too. We order a ton of stuff so usually have deliveries 2-3 times per week. Our apt complex does not allow packages to be left outside the door. If your not home, it must be left in the office. I actually really like this as I feel my stuff us safer. However, due to our schedules, DH and I are almost always home when they come. They usually will just leave a note on the door and not even knock! If I hear him drive up I will open the door and he doesn't even have the package out of the truck. Our apartment complex is a large 25 building complex so the office is not close. I have to often drive since I can't always carry the boxes back. It is difficult to go get it esp with new baby

@Bookshelves‌ I think she was trying to say 'chores' and not 'choirs'.

Flyingtoast · April 2014

Lol, one handed moble bumping. Yes chores.

TP the washing machine for crapping out tonight. In the middle of a full load, natch.

That's what you get for complaining about the laundry monster

Hope you can get it fixed soon! Or send YH out to the laundry mat and tell him it has to be folded before he comes home!

Dexter&11 · April 2014

TP to my shower for breaking last night - now I have to have a bath with a s reaming 9 week old providing the backing track ARGH!!!!!

I think the neighbor's horse causing letdown is what Books was referring to?! Lol!
Yes!

I was so caught up on the choirs part that I didn't even notice the horse part!

TP to DH. Today he's been telling anyone who will listen that his shift with LO started at 3 this morning.

Poor you, DH. My shift started on March 2nd around noon.

yes! or he'll say "I was up with the baby at 7 am. Rach slept til 9". umm that's because I was up all night with a screaming baby while you slept all night. thanks so much for the interrupted (hey I know you're sleeping but when did she last eat/poop/blink?) 2 hours of sleep.
