I don't mind being the one to handle all MOTN things with LO. I'm not going back to work and SO is taking care of us by going to work and I want him to be as rested as possible. I don't mind being exhausted if that means he has a decent amount of sleep. SO feels bad and wants to start helping.
I have one. DH does not change diapers. Which doesnt bother me since im with LO all the time. I have a hard enough time getting all her little crevices clean, i can only imagine how hed feel spreading things apart to clean

Awww that's sweet that your SO wants to start helping! I'm on baby #3 and I've breastfed all three so I've done everything during the night with all of them. It mainly bothers me when my husband says he's tired. Seriously?!? Don't get me started.....
My UO is that sometimes, I really am dreading putting up a Christmas tree. My son will be 3 months on Christmas and won't remember but my husband, his parents and my parents all are super excited that we are putting up a tree at our house. Last year, I put up a 1 foot tall table top tree, but this,year it has to be the 6 footer.

He is super sweet and he's determined to help at least for a diaper change or something. This is our only together but each of us have two from our previous marriages and we're both used to doing it all.
My ex was like that all the time. He got the silent treatment a lot lol
My UO is I hate that black Friday had been moved earlier and earlier into black Thursday/thanksgiving. I find it really annoying because for some it ruins family time! I have no intentions of going out but if family members do, then they are rushing, its just annoying. And I know at many places the employees get the choice if they wanna work or not, but some don't and I think it's rude to pull people away from their families on such an important holiday.

I second that! My DH is an Asst. Manager for a Best Buy and has been with the company for almost 9 years. Since we've been together for 8 years that means we have never had a Thanksgiving together. This year in particular will be difficult with the LO since it's her first Thanksgiving. His store is an hour away which means he has to leave for work around noon on Thanksgiving day and then won't be home until Friday night. The store pays for a hotel room for him since the hours are so crazy and he lives so far which is nice but I miss him. I've been toying with the idea of taking LO and heading to his hotel after dinner with my family so at least we can be together for a few hours overnight.

That's a great idea BUT you shouldn't have to do that to spend time with him on the holiday...stuff like that is so agitating!!
Re: UO Thursday 11/19
I have two
I know we are all busy caring for our babies, but I wish people would still use the search function, the duplicate threads are out of control.
I hate that every retail establishment is all set up for Christmas earlier and earlier each year....it was before Halloween this year!
