Do you want to get up so you can go over to MILs house to get helping her out of the way and then be able to get the yard mowed before fireworks? - 'No'.
Do you care that you might ruin his first fourth? (Yes I know he won't remember... Just the principle and that he promised). Response? 'Go away and let me sleep. I don't care.'
Glad you get your beauty rest while I've been up since 4:30 this morning. So much for today.

Ugh. You have my sympathy. The sleeping in irks me. DH acts like he's melting if I try to get him up before 9:30 on a weekend. He doesn't have to wake up early on weekdays either-- 7:30. He gets more sleep than I do every single day. At least I feel less angry about it while I'm not teaching, since now I'm not always up at 4:30 or 5 for the day.

You're both saints. My husband does better on less sleep than I do, but we take turns sleeping in. When it was just the toddler that was way easier, but if we didn't alternate I would go insane. You ladies deserve a nap!
After a night of settling down baby who gets fussy in the evenings. Mostly just wants to be held and comforted. Very upset if you put him down. Lo finally is sleepy enough to close those eyes and I was snuggling him and finally were both relaxed. That's when DH comes in (movie probably ended) and offers to take over so I could finish getting ready for tomorrow. (4th of july at my brothers I'm bringing tons of foods and stuff). He moves baby from the bed to the swing and proudly tells me he got the baby to bed no problem. Baby is screaming in 20 minutes. Why move a sleeping baby!!!!! If he falls asleep, that's where he's sleeping!!!! He doesn't need to be rocked to sleep of he's already asleep!
When I pump in the MOTN, my DH usually works on getting the babies back to sleep after feeding while I pump in the living room. We have house guests this week so I am pumping in our bedroom, which I didn't realize means he now expects me to take over.
I'm pumping last night and one of the babies starts fussing. He rolls over to my side of the bed after a couple minutes and glares at me from across the room. When I say "What?" He says "You can't take care of this? You're right here." For the record, I was a good 10 feet away. There is no breast pump that reaches that far.
You're a saint BFing twins. Seriously.
Also, no, just no at that comment. Pumping sucks butt without MOTN fussy babies.
I'm EPing, but it still counts in my book.
It counts to me. Your babies are getting the same nutritional value from breast milk. I can't even imagine EBF twins.

This is DH too. Doesn't need to be in until 9 so he sleeps later during the week as well. We actually work at the same place so I can't wait to see how it pans out when I go back next month.

Im in a similar boat. I cant tell you how many times ive heard, "i get up early all week. I dont want to on the weekend." Gets up at 10 or 11am on a saturday, Then he promptly complains about not having enough time to do stuff. He wont accept that baby changes things. Im not going to be the only one getting up at 6am with the baby. Hes screwed my whole day today because he refused to leave my parents late last night and then wouldnt get up this morning. Im working today " from home" where i was supposed to be this morning. Now i HAVE to be home before two and he wants to go somewhere else first. Nevermind that the baby has been in the car since 8am and it will be after one when we get home. Nope no big deal.
Last night DH, DS, and I fell asleep in the living room and I woke up with DS at 2 am and went to bed. DS was then awake every half hour wanting to eat until 5:15 am. I brought DS into the living room because he was super happy and awake and ready to have his morning fun time ( he's always really happy between 5 and 7 am) and I woke up DH and told him I had been up all night and needed to go back to bed and sleep and asked him to watch him. He then says, "I slept terrible, I need to go to bed too." He was seriously sawing logs all night and I'm sure slept just fine. I gave him a dirty look, put DS in his arms and went to bed. He then came in there about 10 minutes later and puts DS next to me and says he needs to go to the bathroom. He comes back and starts to get in the bed. I asked what he was doing and he says, "I told you I needed to come to bed too."
Needless to say, I'm furious with him.

Text from DH shortly after I left the house for the first time in days to go see a friend: "Can you come home? The baby is crying while I'm trying to eat my steak."

No.
Ha! I love when my husband comes home late and eats dinner after me. He usually will give me a break at night, but if he's eating, he acts like it's impossible. I have reality check him and tell him how I eat every meal. Sometimes I just dump my entire dinner in a big plastic bowl and manage to rock her, balance the bowl on the arm of the chair, and eat.
So I am at work and DH calls me frantic. He is talking a mile a minute telling me he is sweating uncontrollably stressed out and spouting off that DS has been screaming for 30 mins straight, that he cannot figure out why, he has tried EVERYTHING including two bottles and has given up. This is the first time in our marriage I have heard desperation in his voice like this to point where I feel bad for him. He finally tells me " I am not cut out for this, I can't do it like you do, this baby hates me you need to quit your job NOW." Ohh good lord.

Thank. You.
DH said the other night "it sounds like your jaw is going to crack because you're chomping so hard". Yes, because I have to eat fast so I don't hear you complain about how you can't eat and sit with her too. What do you think I do when you're not here 80% of the day, homie? His response.. "I'm just not good at it like you." EYE ROLL!

Same thing here.
I was like did you watch happiest baby on the block? No. Did you read about how much she should be eating? No. Have you read about sleep cycles? No. Have you read about Wonder Weeks? No. Have you tried singing nursery rhymes? No.
He keeps asking what he's doing wrong and I'm like I don't know watch a fucking video or read an article. He's so intelligent when it comes to most things. How is he such a dum dum when it comes to parenting?

Ezra peed on DH for the first time and he literally dropped the baby. Thankfully onto the bed but still. Ezra did a pain cry for the first time and since I had hair dye in I couldn't pick him up so I had to coach DH through it. Ezra peed on him about 15 minutes later and he handled it like a champ! He taught Ezra all the different ways you could say pee.
Again with the hilarious jokes. I asked him to get up so he could get the yard mowed since he's skipped out on it the past 3 weeks... Get this... 'I'm tired.'
It's almost noon.
The best part is he said he didn't go to bed till 6. As if that actually changes anything. Lol.
ugh major blow out over pumping yesterday with DH (and I was in the middle of writing a post about how supportive he's been with housework!)....excerpt of 20 min stupid ass discussion : DH: Just pump every hour at work me: I have to actually you know...work! DH: so just pump one side at a time so you have the other hand to answer the phone or whatever. you need to get over not pumping while on conference calls.
>_< yes because I can be relaxed enough to pump while on a call, yet paying enough attention that I don't sound like an idiot or screw something up.
Re: Sh%t my husband said
Do you care that you might ruin his first fourth? (Yes I know he won't remember... Just the principle and that he promised). Response? 'Go away and let me sleep. I don't care.'
Glad you get your beauty rest while I've been up since 4:30 this morning. So much for today.
guy hasn't done a single night shift in weeks while LO and I have been battling a major sleep issues and been up with LO for hours each night.
Why move a sleeping baby!!!!! If he falls asleep, that's where he's sleeping!!!! He doesn't need to be rocked to sleep of he's already asleep!

Me- "These are my old baggy jeans, you know the ones that used to sit low on my hips?"
He then burst into laughter and said "NO WAY!"
Yes, way. My old loose jeans are now tight on my ass.
Ive never laughed so hard.
Him: 'Yes'
I mean, he realised his mistake very quickly, and we laugh about it now, but it was a close call!
No.
Ehmmm...thanks! ;(

I check and a 4th of his back and front are soaked
