Just have to vent!

I am so super annoyed by my husband right now. I hate that I can't do a lot of things myself anymore because I hate having to ask for help and of course he takes his sweet time. I'm having a hard time sleeping at night because I can't get comfortable so I mostly toss and turn. In the morning he always makes it a point to tell me how I pulled the covers off of him. We both work full time so when I get home I'm cleaning and prepping things for the baby's arrival and when he gets home he works out and plays video games. Must be nice to feel such freedom. Don't get me wrong I love him soooo much and can't imagine being with anyone else but I'm just feeling a little overwhelmed right now. Anyone else feeling this way?

I get that. I can't sleep at night either. And I'm told how much I toss and turn. I'm also super tired around 8pm when my bf wants to go out. He seems bummed out and so disappointed when I say no. But, this is all worth it. They will never understand but I am OK with that. I'm happy I get to build this connection with our baby before anyone else can... Even the father. You are never alone. And that's very humbling to me. Good luck with your pregnancy!

Me....I'm so tired all the time an I work....yet he can stay up late talk to his brother an his brothers girlfriend, play on the computer and do whatever....while I try so hard to keep my eyes open an still fall asleep....along with that I do have a six year old that I get up with every morning to take to school, clean a whole house, cook, and work......it's a lot......

Girl you are NOT alone!!!! Im due in ten days and I work evenings. Most nights I come home to a sink full of dishes, a messy living room (from my 5 y/o That he never makes him clean up before bed) ...I complain of a bad backache and not once do I get an offer for a back rub...yet when he has a migraine I sit there and massage his neck and head..  Don't get me wrong he's a great guy and works hard...he works mon-sat 7-3, comes home and does nothing usually... he hasn't yet settled into the "the world doesn't revolve around me anymore" stage (my 5 yr old isn't his son)... His world is about to change drastically when our daughter is born... lol!

Lol I'm so glad to see that I'm not alone. Guys just don't get it!

[MrsBertrand]

My husband was like the for our first but this time around he's been attentive and helpful with household chores and our toddler. Truly night and day from the first pregnancy when he would play video games and go out with the guys. Guys don't understand and it takes a little for them to connect. Now his daughter is his world and he knows how this baby will be the same. Give him sometime hopefully it will get better when the baby arrives!

Same here.  It's our first and I'm just trying to keep my cool about it.  We've had a few talks about priorities but it's not really sticking.  He's complained about his sleep too saying how he just wants to enjoy his last few weeks of normal sleep and I just stay quiet about that.  I just try to make sure the bare minimum is done before arrival.  I am also hoping he is just trying to get in as much recreation as possible before our lives change.  I won't spend any more time worrying about it until the baby is here because that is when I expect he will step up more and change.

Have you told him this? He won't know he is doing something wrong unless you say something.
