OT Getting Frustrated

i dont know. DH doesnt really understand how much of a toll pregnancy takes on me. i work 40 hours a week and i get 2 days off like any ohter person. i dont want to have to ddo all the laundry and dishes on my days off. he doesnt. you know what he does on his days off? sleeps til 12pm, plays on his computer all day and doesnt even get dressed! why cant i have days like those (maybe not exactly days like that lol) but im on my feet, standing, all week at work which i probably shouldnt be doing anyways, and i dont want to be at home cleaning up after him for 2 days..

anyone else having this problem and any advice?

Ugh I have PSD and I am so grateful to not be working its rediculous!  However I have to agree a bit on things with the Hubby... On his days off if I ask him to do something its like the end of the world... Now that I am not working (I have Fibromyalgia and the PSD) so I am in all kinds of pain.  I am also High Risk and chasing a toddler every day....

Today I asked him (days in advance) If I could basically have a few hours off - no toddler no nothing... I got a nice 3 hour nap without being jumped on, called on, pushed on, or anything else.  

It has been said that being pregnant is like climbing a mountain... so just keep that in mind.  Your body is always working.

oooh I swear Jay_Leron and I were just talking about this. Husband (shaking my head) can be a handful while we are pregnant. My husband still expects me to do everything. Our debate now is over the cleaning the shower. Now I just dont think I can do it because I would have to bend over for a while to clean the floor and the walls. He can clearly do it but doesnt want to. Its been a few weeks but I'm wondering how long its going to take before he does it.

I often thing its just my husband that acts this way and believe it or not it feel better to know I'm not the only one. We can just vent here with each other and sometimes to our husbands lol. Thanks for your post. I really needed this today.
