I hate my builder

Well I'm doing it again, had to get up for one of my nightly pees and am now lieing here stressing unable to sleep cos the guy building my new house sux! A bit of background, I'm 28 weeks 1 day and a single mum pregnant through ivf using a donor, I'm so happy and excited to be pregnant it's a dream come true. Nobody forced me to chose to build a new house but when I made that decision I wasn't pregnant in fact it was well over a year ago. I've built a few times before and had all plans and permits organised so should have been in a completed house by end of June. Clearly that didn't happen simply cos the builder was slow, then he agreed to end of August and then end of Sep and as of yesterday end of October is looking shaky! Urgh I have nothing for the nursery as have nowhere to put it and at Wednesdays OB appointment my blood pressure is starting to go up. I'm generally doing a good job of staying calm during the day but definitely lose sleep at night. Can't believe he has no sense of urgency and just doesn't care whether I get into the house in time for baby let alone to actually nest and rest :(

Re: I hate my builder

  • Regardless of what happens, just remember it will all work out in the end! It's not ideal, but baby can always sleep in a bassinet, pack n play, etc until the house and nursery is done. Although my situation is a little different, I won't have a crib until 3-4 weeks before I'm due. I really want to nest and get everything done as well, but just remember that the little details won't matter to baby.
