My Hubby may be an imbecile, help me not kill him

Bickey11 · August 2015

I've had a healthy normal pregnancy. I am not going to be induced unless my baby goes more than 7 dpd per my Dr. My hubby knows this. Yet twice in the past week he's asked me.

"So when is he coming, I'd like to schedule my time off ahead of time" &

"So i mean, is he going to come out before labor day weekend, and if so can we make sure its like on Friday, so that I don't have to use a full 10 vacation days"

OH AND "and he definitely needs to be here at least by the 4th because the Buckeyes first game is the 7th and I'm going to either go somewhere or have people over for the game"

Mind you I'm due the 29th, so if I'm induced on the 7th day that will be the 4th, and i've told him this, meaning i could be in the hospital until the 7th at the latest if i don't actually deliver until the 5th.

WTH is wrong with him? Somebody please tell me what could have happened to him to make him so dense? Does he have baby brain? How do i fix him without killing him?

Personally I would start getting sassy and just say something like "you'll have to talk to your son/daughter about this. I have no control over what he/she does. So when the two of you come to an agreement let me know because I would love to know as well. Better yet have him/her drop a postcard when we are like three days away k? K!" But that's just me lol

Bickey11 · August 2015

Everytime he asks me i say "hold on, lemme ask him" and then i ask him, and wait patiently for an answer...

I'd go nuts with all those comments! God forbid he miss a game due to having a baby. My DH is obsessed with Michigan football. He's actually been really great, and hasn't said a word about possibly missing a game this season due to baby. Men are just clueless sometimes. In the meantime, if you want to annoy him back, tell him I said, "GO BLUE!"

I would kill him. You are a stronger woman than I am!

bumpuser10704024 · August 2015

Honestly - at this point in the game I think they're losing their minds too. I heard my sweet adorable hubby (sarcastic) pleading with the baby to please come out so he can have his wife back. Yes. I'm sure it's been really tough on you - idiot.

This is part of the reason I'm glad my husband isn't super into sports. I can't imagine our lives revolving around a sports schedule. However, he is very into the gym and weightlifting so if he misses more than a day in a row I do have to hear him whine and complain about it. Luckily when he makes comments about his workout schedule getting thrown out of whack by the uncertainty of our delivery date, I can just tell him to go utilize the dumbbells he keeps buying and not using. He has no excuse!

My DH told me that he didn't feel like going to the hospital unless we were 100% coming home with a baby

"I'm 100% sure you had better get in the car..."

BabyBean815 · August 2015

Mine requested last weekend and for this upcoming weekend, that I not have the baby because he wants to sleep in. He said he would prefer Monday morning. Okay. Noted.

JNOVA2015 · August 2015

Are your DH's serious when they say these things? I mean, my DH said he'd prefer the baby not come yesterday because he had plans to golf, but he was just joking!! If I'd gone into labor or even thought I might go into labor he would have cancelled without a second thought! If he said any of the stuff above and meant it, we'd have words....

...and then he died.

That's how this story ends, right?

countryrhodes90 · August 2015

My husband is more excited about getting rid of my pregnancy pillow than the baby coming I think. He hates that thing. He says it's killing our sex life and he can't snuggle with me because the pillow is in the way.

) He also keeps saying "it's coming today!" It's coming tomorrow!" And getting disappointed. I agree, I think they start to go a little nuts in the end too.

j&gmiller2015 · August 2015

My husband said 'I have a fantasy football draft on the 30th(day after my DD), do you think she will be here before then?' I said if you bring that up again you're going to be on an episode of Snapped. ~X(

kgeiser08 · August 2015

I'm dying inside! My husband was the same way. I have a scheduled C-Section. We were given a block of time to pick a day from. He didn't want to do this day or that day for work reasons. Wanted a Saturday but that may interfere with watching a UK game. I was a week early with our first child. I am secretly hoping to throw off his very detailed planning with an early baby. How will work survive without him??

MamaMandy2015 · August 2015

I think our hubbys start to lose their minds the closer we get to our due dates. Maybe it's just their way of coping, or maybe they're feeling stressed and want to make sure they will have enough time to spend with us and the babies. My DH was upset because with his work schedule at the mine, he gets 7 days off once a month and he wanted the csection to be scheduled at the beginning of his 7, but the doc said they won't deliver the baby any sooner than a week before the due date, so the only opening available,was the 26th. Even though he put in for days off after his 7 so that he would be home for 2 weeks at least, he's still worried about having unpaid time off, considering the mine cut out overtime.

mariafordon · August 2015

I think I would kill my SO if he mentioned the idea of having people over for a game with a brand new baby.

I think my husband mentioned this last weekend. I just gave him a blank stare.

amylianne · August 2015

DH is somewhat like this even without pregnancy. Seriously, the man hears maybe every 3rd word of any conversation. Even others have noticed. So now, when he asks something we've already discussed, my answer is something bitchy about not bothering to answer since he's obviously not actually listening. Mean, but expected out of me.
I do think they get worse around delivery. Or now, we have DD in the nicu and he keeps asking when we will take her home so he can schedule his work appropriately. "Why don't you ask her?" I get that work needs notice, but he's kept them informed.... And I've asked Professor Trelawny to teach me to read tea leaves or a crystal ball.

deviduke412 · August 2015

Oh dear! I hope he was joking! I can't complain. The only thing my dh does is ask every morning if I'm going to have this baby today? It's kind of sweet seeing how excited he is. Now my Stepmom, that's a different story!

abmommy15 · August 2015

I'm 4 days overdue and made a comment last night as I was going to bed that I hoped my water breaks in the middle of the night. DH said "no babe not tonight, I'm really tired and need a good night sleep". Ya well I haven't had one of those in weeks so sorry if I don't really give a damn how tired you are.

Gardengoodness · August 2015

My due date is the 30th and I think after explaining to hubby for 9 months that doesn't mean she will show up on the 30th he is finally starting to get it... Though he still seems to check his calendar almost daily to make suggestions about days of the week that would also work for him... If he suggests I have her on a Thursday or Friday if possible one more time I might punch him... Also love when he suggests specific alternate dates.... He generally excited and awesome but needs to understand I have no more control over when she's coming then having her foot in my ribs, acid reflux, or how many times a night I have to figure out how to safely roll off the bed to yet again have to pee... I want a countdown to when this is over WAY more then he does but apparently he's having a hard time grasping that concept lol

ChanelLovesB · August 2015

So i tried to wake DH up last night so he could pass me the water bottle on his night stand vs me doing ninja moves to get up. Instead of responding He felt the bed to see if it was wet. When it was not, he turned further over. X( so I proceeded to scream give me the dang water bottle before I cover you in it. He snapped out of it quick. I think end of the pregnancy hormones are turning them into nuts!

I'm on the same boat. My BF has been saying the same thing to our baby.. And his friends.. And my friends.. I get it, I'm a crying hormonal bitch.. But does he think I like being like this and not being able to control my feelings or crazy thoughts in my head? Maybe if HE just doesn't drive me crazy I won't have a problem and go nuts. And then he'll have his "sweet loving wonderful gf back"

Also my BF is a diehard sports FREAK! His man obsession is the Baltimore Ravens (football team) and I am just as crazy about them too. But he hasn't said much about if I deliver on a Sunday or during a preseason game. Which is VERY shocking to me. I guess
he knows that there's a tv in L&D room. That and it's only preseason. If it was the playoffs I'm sure I'd be dealing with him differently.

God help us women who are having to deal with these men who literally drive us bat shit crazy!

I hope you don't thoughtlessly go into labor during his precious slumber

O:-)

Bickey11 · August 2015

I think its funny/sad that some of your hubby's think the baby will be born and they'll get their wives back. they don't know much about how babies change your lives do they? At least with this being the 3rd (my 2nd, his 2nd, our 1st together) he's smart enough to say things like "I just can't wait for him to be 5 so we can be normal again" hahahaha.

kelseyrayay · August 2015

All of my friends are having their babies and he said to me the other night I want my Tanner. I just want to hold him and snuggle with him and play with him. He is really excited and it's really sweet to see him get excited about him wanting our little man here.

Are we married to the same person?

nakoppel · August 2015

I'm lucky my husband hasn't said a peep (but it is his second my first). Except at night I'll say 'I just wanna have this baby!' And he'll say jokingly 'not at night I need sleep'. He just says he wished I felt good/not in pain anymore.

jadetree1080 · August 2015

My husband is pulling for me to pop a week early (dd: 28th) cuz we have a baby pool going and that is where his money is. The pot is up to like $300 so I'm hoping he is right. Haha.

I yelled at DH about this Tuesday morning. We were heading off to our twice weekly NST and he asked me if today would be the day. I lost it! I am due this weekend and everyone and their brother has been asking when the baby is coming! I think you will be the first to know babe! Then today he asked if I thought it would be tomorrow. Um...I don't know. Then he tells me if we could be at the hospital by about 5 tonight that would be great. He figured that would give us enough time to deliver and then him still be able to take our son to a county fair tomorrow night to see a monster truck show! Yes dear, I would love for you to be able to do that and it sucks that I can't go with you guys this year, but I really don't have any control of when this baby is coming! God knows I've tried everything to get it out already! Ugh! Men!
