I am 32 weeks pregnant and am studying part time. I am keeping on top of the required reading and doing a bit extra on top, and I'm pretty confident that I am doing the right amount of studying. Last night I had a bad night of painful BH and feeling generally unwell so I have been taking it really easy today, playing gentle games with DD, messing about online and so on, basically getting my feet up, and the pains have pretty much gone, apart from the odd twinge.
DP has spent the day at a job fair in the next town looking for a job. I know it is hard for him being out of work, but he has done nothing but get at me since he got back. His latest was to walk into the room after his bath, and say in a nasty tone "I see you are still not bothering to read any books. When exactly are you planning on dropping out or failing this course, because there is no point us wasting money on books if you aren't even going to try".
I had to drop out last year because I was hospitalised with mental health issues.
I know he would like to be at uni himself, but tbh he has dropped out more times then me, and if he really wanted to, he could do an OU course for free because we are on a low income. He is a lot more academic then me (as in, he gets firsts without very much effort, I tend to average around a high 2:1 with more effort, although I could possibly push it up to a first if I put the rest of my life on hold) and reads/watches stuff of a much more intellectual vein for fun than I do. He particularly dislikes me coming on here as he says I get stupid ideas in my head.
He is lovely most of the time, it's just he seems to think that I should be always "on" and should never read or watch stuff of a "popular" nature.
Also whenever I say the pregnancy is making me tired, he blames it on me going to bed late - I am almost always in bed by midnight, and usually have a nap in the day when DD goes for hers. It's just that heartburn, needing the loo, leg cramps and all the other late pregnancy niggles get me up four or five times a night, so I just don't get the quality sleep.
Meh, I am probably making him sound worse than he is, he is lovely, it's just he does my head in sometimes! Also, when he started on at me before, the pain immediately came back in my bump. It's not a labour type pain, more of a strain, but it isn't nice, and worrying when DD came early.

AIBU?
To think how much uni work I do is my business?
