I'm throwing my husband a 30th birthday party with about 20 of our closest friends this Saturday, and when discussing with him how he'll need to stay in control in case I go into labor and he needs to drive me to the hospital he said, "we could Uber!"
This is something mine has said to me multiple times and he doesn't even have a 30th birthday party! Haha luckily, he's been pretty good and watching himself!
Aww, just wait until these guys see how much fun it is to be at a birth and hanging out with a crying newborn with a hangover!
When having the "Okay, it's time to keep shit in check" talk with my husband, I had to explain to him how miserable he would be at the hospital with me screaming through labor while he's either buzzed, drunk, or hungover. You wouldn't think you'd have to actually spell it out for them, but ya kinda do...who knew!

So I just realized that apparently I have 2 accounts so the above response is actually me!
I have to say that prior to having a baby, I totally understood the idea that having a hangover with a baby crying would be super unpleasant, but there is no substitute for the one real life opportunity I had to experience that special circle of hell. There's a reason it happened only once (which was an accident) and I became much more careful. Also, learn from my stupidity, just because you drank before doesn't mean you will be right back normal once you start drinking again. I think I had two whole beers and ended up hungover a few months after I had my son. Lesson. Learned. Mommy is a lightweight.

A couple of friends told me about their first outtings after having their babies and how shocked they were by how little they needed in order to get drunk. I can't remember the last time I had enough to get even buzzed so I know going into it that my tolerance level is going to be pretty much zero. It'll be like half a glass and I'll be wasted I'm sure!
I love my BF and he has been nothing short of amazing throughout my whole pregnancy... that was until he decided to tell me that his boss has stripped him of his "man card" because he told a female co-worker that is getting married in July to his co-supervisor exactly what strippers do to the groom at a bachelor's party and she almost wasnt going to let the guys go... so now he tells me he HAS to go or he will never hear the end of it...
It won't be until the end of July dude... that info could have waited... you know, till sometime after the baby is born 6 DAYS FOM NOW....
@MReyArts Don't you just love that? "Oh but I HAVE to go" no, not really. My husband pulls the same thing whenever his big boss comes to town and insists they go out for drinks. "But I can't say no to a drink or two...or five, he's the boss! I'll never hear the end of it, he won't take 'no' for an answer." Preeeetty sure you can have just one or two and still keep up good relations with the boss-man but what do I know?
Dh spent the entire day yesterday from 10:30am-7:30pm driving to the middle of nowhere with no cell reception to look at land we can't afford for a business idea he has. Told me if I went into labor I could just get a ride to the hospital. Than he drank too cokes so he couldn't sleep, and wanted sex last night. I figure it's supposed to help get ready for labor do why not, but turns out he wanted a BJ because apparently I just "don't feel good down there" right now. Um, Sorry?
he stayed up late watching movies, and when our two year old woke up crying for daddy at 5am and not wanting me he said "what do you want me to do about it" rolled over and put a pillow on his head. I was up half the night with the kids, dog, and stomach pain. Now it's 5:50, I'm up with both kids for the day after a rough night, and feel half dead.
All i I can say is he better not try to work from home tomorrow. I can't take him hanging around if he's going to act like that, especially after I told him yesterday what a rough time I'm having.

Oh boy. This is how women end up on the TV show "snapped". He should watch it sometime. Sorry he's being a jerk face.

Unfortunately, I can relate to a lot of this. My husband is constantly staying up late, and then can not bear to participate in whatever the kids and I are doing the next day, due to tiredness. And don't get me started on his "ideas" that I'm forced to shoot down. I don't understand the sex thing though. Maybe swelling made you too tight, or the hormones that relax your ligaments made you too loose? I'm curious, because I asked my husband a lot of things felt different in any way ('cause it sure looked/felt different,) but he would never admit to it.
I'm sorry Amber, but your husband is an asshole. There is a difference between, oh my husband is being a jerk but is overall a nice guy and what your husband does. No good husband/ father leaves their due any day wife and giesMIA all day. It's completely unacceptable.

Oh come on. We all come on here and vent about different things that bug us. Frankly I think being gone for a day is better than getting drunk or some of the other things women complain about around here. Was it a jerk move? Yes. Was it a weekend full of dumb comments and choices from him that ticked me off? Yes. That doesn't mean he is a bad husband and father because he had a selfish day.
So my husband has this idea in his head that he wants to take our kids to Disneyland or world in a couple of years, this is completely asinine for starters because we live in Colorado so neither is close, I don't foresee us somehow having an extra 5 grand in the next few years (we want to upgrade to a bigger house) and third of all who the fuck wants to take two 5 yr olds and an almost 3yr old to Disneyland for a week?!?! So what does he do? Tells them we are going to Disneyland and explains what it is to them!!!! So now I get to be begged at and screamed at by my 3yr olds because we are not dropping everything and going this second! He is the oldest of 7 so you would think he would have some idea of how kids operate in that teeny pea sized man brain of his!!!!!

You never tell a toddler about something to do/eat/place to go unless you can produce right that second. Come on, that's basic for anyone around kids ever

Dh totally deserves one today. We're on vacation, and it's actually been really nice, a lot less stressful than I expected. Till today.
dh decided to book a $250 hunting trip for Thursday, 3 hours away from where we're staying, without telling me. We of course only have one car, and things to do with the kids are not in walking distance. Even if they were, I have a 8 month old, 2 year ild and 5 year old, and only an umbrella stroller. We couldn't get very far safely. We don't have that much money budgeted for the week, so this puts us way over, and now an entire day is wasted of me and the kids being stuck at the house with nothing to do. I'm pissed, he knows it, but he can't get a refund because he was stupid and payed ahead of time (or maybe he did that so I couldn't make him get one).
If he gives me any trouble about doing what the kids or I want for the rest of this trip he's going to be sorry. He has some serious making up to do.

^WSS. My hubby has expensive hobbies, but if he scheduled something like that during a family vacation and then "forgot" to tell me he'd be coming home from that vacation single.
