DH has been home sick for 3 days but refuses to take medicine or go see a doctor. I'm so tired of seeing him sleeping on the couch 24/7 that I want to punch him in the face. He feels bad in the morning then fine in the afternoon so why he can't get off his butt & do something is beyond my comprehension. ~X(

Sneak some medicine into his food? Kidding! Sort of....

I have an unhealthy obsession with trying to find a reasonable, decent jogging stroller that I can put the infant seat in (for walks) and for my toddler. I can't find anything within our budget I have been scouring the internet for deals and alternatives and now I find out that our car seat we had with DS (safety 1st) doesn't really seem to be compatible with the infant seat attachments. I may just lose my mind. We have a bike trail like 3 miles from our house that I love walking on and it looks like unless I want to invest $1000 in new car seat, stroller, adapter, etc, I'm SOL until next spring when LO can sit in the stroller himself. I'm sad.

Do you have a single stroller that you could use for the toddler and then wear the baby until LO is big enough to sit up in a stroller?

MonkeyJD · May 2014

@livelaughlove88‌ Don't think that didn't cross my mind. He makes me crazy when he's like that. Thankfully it looks like he's all better now but I was ready to scream.

purpleXdandelion · May 2014

@BP607‌ could you do something like the product in the link below? If the stroller has a 5-point harness like a carseat that should fit just fine. I used that in the carseat with DS and he was nice and cuddled in. Oh! I have a pic. See, here he is coming home from the hospital.

DH's birthday was yesterday. I didn't see him at all on his birthday. He plays on a co-ed beach volleyball league on Wednesdays and goes straight from work (even though he gets off at 4:30 and his game wasn't until 8:30). On Monday I told him I wanted to come to one of his games and bring cupcakes. He told me he'd prefer if I didn't come or make cupcakes. My feelings are a little hurt that he didn't want to see me or DD on his birthday, and denied all of my attempts to do something nice for him. Oh, and he drove himself home drunk and didn't get in until 3:30. I know it's his birthday and I shouldn't be upset, but I'm still grumpy about it.

Nope, you have every right to be angry. I would be pissed!

mamatomp · May 2014

@Lhalliburton‌ I would definitely be upset, too... Pregnant or not. Sounds like something my DH would pull. I'm sorry

[Deleted User] · May 2014

DH couldn't wait until after LO to get a new job. He didn't need one, it's just he gets calls all the time and a good opportunity came up. Now I have to make sure the new health plan covers my dr and the everything else. Oh, and we get to start over on the deductible. Joy.

mamakiss · May 2014

After spending a couple hours in L&D, I now see why people want their own hospital gowns. Mine was horrible long and looked like an off the shoulder gown. I felt like a sheet was thrown on top of me and I didn't stay where I put it. Now seriously considering getting one that will at least fit on my shoulders instead of sliding off all the time.

Birthday or not, driving drunk is NEVER okay...I would be LIVID!

The rest of the smaller stuff you deserve to be hurt over (not seeing him, the cupcakes, and 3:30am), but if you wanted to give him a "birthday pass," fine. I wouldn't, but I'm a "bitch wife," lol. However, the driving drunk thing is an actual safety issue and extremely selfish on his part...that definitely deserves a serious discussion. If anything, you are under-reacting, you have every right to be angry!

alyssa719 · May 2014

Ummm... Confessions, people!! Not rants!!

Drunken husband = Bitch fest, Shoving cupcake into drunken husbands' face without regrets = Confession!!

New Job = Bitch fest, Spending day at spa and justifying with it being less than the new deductible = Confession!!

Ugly, horrible fitting gown = Bitch fest, Running around triage naked because of it = Confession!!

You're welcome.

PS. It's Friday, I fed my dog some leftover green smoothie from breakfast mostly because I felt guilty for kicking her out of bed this morning to get snuggle time with DH. I will probably only admit that I felt bad wasting food and this is why if it is ever questioned.

tourqeyes · May 2014

I keep buying myself PUSH gifts. I know that's not how it works, yet I don't care.

Yesterday I bought a handbag that I've been eye-ing for a while and decided that I needed to have it. If I wasn't pregnant, I still would have probably bought it, but I'm using being pregnant and having to go through labor as an excuse to buy myself what I want at the moment.

Anyways, this was a bigger purchase, so right now it's hiding under our bed until I can phase it into regular routine without DH noticing. Right now I'm just glad I'm the one that monitors the finances in our relationship.

ETA: This post re-read I feel like a brat, but whatever.

EleanorKr · May 2014

Yesterday I took a shower and brought a stack of cookies with me into the bathroom to eat while showering. They got wet and I didn't even care.

alyssa719 · May 2014

@tourqeyes, it's not the hermes one, I hope (?)... I feel like if you can sneak that through the finances without your husband noticing, I need to take lessons from you!!

mrscurlygurl · May 2014

@alyssa719, clearly we DO need bitchfest and confession threads every day :P Wonderful clarification.

Like Ryan did for Michael Scott in The Office. Ryan crushed some pain reliever into MIchael's pudding when he burned his foot on the George Foreman grill.

Yeah this really ticks me off & makes me wonder how many other idiots are driving drunk on the roads that my family drives on.

Birthday drunk driving is not any better than regular day drunk driving. I hope you went crazy all over his tail chewing him out to the point that he's scared of you. I seriously do.

I would stab him for the whole situation (not like, in a killing manner, just in a "remember this is what happens when you...." kind of way). I would also show up at a co-ed naked volleyball game with cupcakes and my naked pregnant belly hanging out all over the icing of the cupcakes... and then take his keys. :P

Emilyfae · May 2014

I use the fact that I sound like a helpless little girl on the phone to my advantage. When I call customer service or a company to get something or complain, I try my best to sound dumb and clueless. I seriously get the best service this way. Only problem is I look like a teenager (late 20s and get carded for R rated movies) and my husband looks his age (early 30s). We sometimes get strange glances while holding hands in public.

Yeah I agree. I don't give a crap if it's his birthday or not. He needs a slap in the back head.

@LHalliBurton Thanks for not saying anything & letting him continue to possibly ruin people's lives by drunk driving. Sounds like you're both real peaches.

I'm totally side-eying a FB friend who announced that they will have an ultrasound today to find out if they are having a boy or a girl. Then follows up with "I probably won't post it on here if we find out so if you want to know text me after my appointment."

What?

Let me guess, she's an oversharer who likes to make people feel not special enough to know the "real" details about her life even though she plasters everything else all over the Internet.

skr1619 · May 2014

Next Friday I will be doing my monthly clean out of the office refrigerators. I do a countdown the WHOLE week to let people know that I will be throwing away any unlabeled lunches--containers and all. I give these assholes fair warning. They usually look like this:

and this

And usually when The Purge Day (that's what I like to call it) rolls around, what do I find? A bunch of lunches that are unlabeled. My confession: I LOVE throwing away people's lunches and having them come in panicking asking if I threw theirs away. I don't know what it is. It's really bitchy of me but I can't help it.

My response? "I gave ample notice ahead of time throughout the whole week. You all were well aware that I'd be throwing away lunches that were unlabeled. I'm sorry."

Then afterward I like to hang my little notices on the refrigerator:

I was thinking exactly this when I first read @LHalliBurton's comment, but I was super tired and for some reason thought I might be overreacting. I've slept now, and nope! @LHalliBurton, your DH is a douche for not letting you come to the game or spending any time with you or his kid on his birthday, and for staying out until 3:30, and it's ok to be upset about those things, and ok if you just give him a free pass since it's his birthday if that's how you roll.

BUT, there is absolutely nothing ok ever about driving drunk. Birthday or not. He needs a serious talking to, and if he can't be responsible enough to only drink when he has a safe way home, he shouldn't be drinking at all. That is just not ok. The fact that you don't think you should be upset is very worrisome.

Confession: DH is out of town and I should really clean the house, do laundry etc since we will be gone next week in Vegas on our babymoon. Instead I'm considering getting a mani and going shopping. And I don't feel bad about it.

I chose extra sleep over a shower this morning.

ghostof5letters · May 2014

I showered and did my hair and make up yesterday. I slept with my full face of make up and planned on wearing it today as well (I don't wash my face...ever...that should be other confession).

Well, I dumped a friggin bottle of Tide detergent on top of my head and now I have to shower.

I can't tell if this is a FWP, or a FFFC, or a UO.

Bite me.

Skeemer · May 2014

I'm 3 weeks away from leaving work until after maternity leave & my supervisor has yet to get someone in here for me to train to take my place. I mentioned it 3 months ago & 2 months ago. He's fully aware of when my due date is. The last maternity leave went very sour too because he hired someone not at all qualified for my job.

The FFFC part is - I don't care. I'm serious. Not one ounce of me cares at all.

I bet you have flawless skin too. I can't fathom not washing my face, daily. I have a terrible complexion (acne, sunspots, thinning skin, wrinkles). I wish I could jump on the no-wash wagon, but I'm OCD about washing myself.

taylorjeanne84 · May 2014

My doctor tells me EVERY appointment that I need to "watch my weight" (I've gained 35 pounds.) I drive to the bakery around the corner after EVERY appointment and load up on yummy pastries and donuts to eat on the way home. I think to myself "F you Dr._____" with every bite. This is my last pregnancy. I'll do what I want!!!

Oh, I totally agree. This isn't the first time he's driven after having too many, and I've bitched him out every time. He passed a road test after getting pulled over and the cop let him go, so now he thinks he's invincible. I've tried to explain it to him, yell at him, my dad has even talked to him, and nothing seems top get it through his head. He's putting other people and himself in serious danger. Nothing seems to deter him. I've even offered to pick him up, or take him back to his car the next morning. If I was at the bar with him I'd take his keys. He keeps it together when he's at the bar and I think people don't realize how drunk he is, otherwise someone else would take his keys. I even bought him a keychain breathalyzer to remind him not to drive. I have no idea what state he's going to be in until he shows up at home.

I was referring to being upset about his other actions, being upset about the driving is a given. I feel bad being upset for how he wanted to spend his birthday, because it's his birthday and I felt like I was making it about me.

TallMomma29 · May 2014

I just dropped a bagel with cream cheese face down on the floor at home. A layer of cream cheese remained on the floor. I figured I was totally safe to still eat the bagel under the 5 second rule, and let one of the dogs clean up the cream cheese left on the floor. It was the only bagel I had left and I used the rest of the cream cheese, but I probably still would have eaten it even if I could have just made another one.

How often does he do this? To be honest it sounds like he might have a real problem with alcohol. My FIL used to do this when DH and his brothers were very young (he was actually drunk when DH was born and MIL had to go find him at the bar when she went into labor) and my MIL almost left him over it before he finally decided his family was more important than his drinking and stopped completely. Alcoholism is a very hard thing to conquer.

I want to say "not often", but really, once is too often. I would say once every few months. He doesn't really even drink at home and if we go out, he might have a beer or two at dinner, but that's the extent. He's not an alcoholic, just stupid.

MonkeyJD · May 2014

I'm a little embarrassed at how happy I am that my mom keeps buying things off our registry $:\$ "> It's not that we can't or wouldn't buy them ourselves, I'm just happy that we don't have to. Now I can use the coupons & gift cards I have to get even more things.
