Dh has been wanting to go out downtown and drink and have fun, so I gave in tonight. Had a good time. When we get home he shuts off all the lights like we are going to bed. Um noooooo now I have to pump. Will there ever be a day that dh understands the sacrifices we take for our LO? Not only do I have to pump for the next half hour when all I wanna do is pass out..... Then I have to dump it, when my supply is already low and LO is at grandmas sucking down my freezer stash! He don't get it. Don't think he will ever understand.
Re: Is there a man out there that understands?
Be thankful you are able to drop your lo off for a night!
No, men generally don't get pumping very much. They think it's easier than it is. But ahh well...what can you do. I doubt your DH was trying to imply anything unnecessary by going home and getting things ready for bed, he was probably drunk too which doesn't usually help people remember that stuff.
Hope it was a good time!

And good for you that you went out and had a good time and (gasp) had a few drinks then pumped like a normal, responsible Mom, our kids are 6 months not 6 weeks.
ETA- SO is always telling me how thankful and appreciative he is but I think in the near future I'm going to leave him with LO for a few hours with a short to do list so he can feel the extend of his appreciation. I'm sure sober and in hindsight yours may realize as well

I have to ask DH to wash my pump stuff. He'll wash everything but! I asked him why once and he said he was afraid to do it wrong. Lol.

A once in awhile thing? Sure, let it go if that makes it easier for you. Ongoing issue? Probably the worst thing you could do is let it go. Husband and wives BOTH have an obligation to try and understand the other. He doesn't get a pass just cause "men don't get it."

Yea seriously, can we revisit this one? There may be things to "just let go" but nothing in that post applies. You don't forget to feed your kids because men are just not women.
