Is this a thing? I feel like it is on other boards, but I can't remember if it is here.
Ugh DH. He has to send in his immunization records for grad school and not only can he not figure out how to go about doing it but he is complaining about it without end. Dude, you have so few responsibilities. In fact, the only ones you have are dishes and laundry. I cook, I pay the bills, I manage our budget, I grocery shop, I contact the LL when stuff breaks, I maintain the car (in fairness I drive it much more), I manage our calendar. So forgive me for not feeling sorry for you having to track down a fax machine and your records. And don't even come with that "this is wasting time out of my life" BS.

Re: Monday b-fest 1/23
Also, anything like this I would definitely have to handle for my H. I'm basically the money maker, meal planner, chef, maid, financial consultant, secretary. Now that he's been laid off he has done the grocery shopping (after I meal plan and send him with a list) and he has done some cleaning as well and all pickup/drop off of the kids at school. But yes, what is it about husbands that make them so incompetent when it comes to things like that?!

Also, my mother knew I didn't want her to throw me a shower in my hometown because I have so few connections left there. But now that my MIL is throwing me one in DH's hometown, my mother I think feels left out, and is attempting to invite family to my house during my virtual shower. I had to put my foot down and remind her that it's not going to have food and decorations and whatnot. It's completely virtual. I feel bad because this is her first grandbaby and she wants to be involved but it's just not practical because I barely speak to anyone she would want to invite, and it would just be awkward and "gift-grabby" to me. I love my mother but I'm terrified this is the beginning of crazy grandma mode. Haha. I seem to have talked her into a "meet the baby" party this summer instead though. Why do these things have to be complicated?
DH is in California all week for work. That leaves me alone with our dog for the week, who can be quite needy. She is super small so she can't jump on the bed by herself and she has some anxiety when DH doesn't come home. She sits and waits by the stairs and gets up all through the night. So it's a week of even more restless than normal sleep for me. And another awkward week alone at our childbirth prep class on a Wednesday. Hooray.

This is our last baby, so I do want him or her to have some new things of its own. That, coupled with the fact that DD is turning 6, so most of our baby stuff is 6+ years old, it's just getting out-of-date and overused.

Anywho, I knew his mom and my SIL were throwing me a shower in NJ this past weekend. I asked him to ask them not to be the names on anything. He threw a little tiff about the fact that my family knew but I told him that I just didn't want to go through it again. I get to the shower, my college friends are there, his family, even my mom and sister drove down, it was great! I'm looking at all the great decorations and my friend goes "Oh, I guess you picked names, huh?" I looked at her side-eyed because I wanted to share them with her privately.... but no, there they were.... right on the cake. Then I go on FB and his aunt who took great pictures also took one of the cake.... I got abnormally upset over this last night and DH could be anything but understanding about it. Kind of flipped out about what a big deal I was making. My whole thing is is that they are OUR kids and these were OUR announcements. If I wanted to wait, I should be able to, I should have the option. But when a decision kind of gets taken away from you, you're left feeling defeated.
Luckily, they all liked the names - otherwise they'd still be pulling frosting out of their hair

Am I being sensitive and overly annoyed or is she being a little rude and selfish?
