AIBU?

...to think that at 8 months pregnant, DP shouldn't be making me stay up late on a Saturday night to clean grout off a cold, hard kitchen floor?

As the title says, really: 8 months pregnant, DP grouting the floor that has been 'in progress' since Christmas (I haven't had a kitchen since then) - after he insisted on doing the job himself (at weekends). I'm needed to wipe grout off the tiles as he goes. It's now nearly 10pm, we're halfway through and I want to go to bed. AIBU?

Just tell him how you feel

WorraLiberty · 31/01/2015 21:55

Why do you need to wipe the grout? Surely he can do it as he goes along.

StillStayingClassySanDiego · 31/01/2015 21:56

Go to bed, leave him to it.

ForestFlowersInSitu · 31/01/2015 21:56

Is he nesting, the twat?

FGS tell him to sort it out himself, YABU and a martyr.
He can wipe as he goes, you tell him so and go to bed.

He can wipe it himself. Go to bed.

I have tiled. Always alone. Once while heavily pregnant. He'll manage.

LadyLuck10 · 31/01/2015 21:59

How is he making you do this ?

SirChenjin · 31/01/2015 22:00

I've tiled and wiped as I go along. Tell him to woman up and get yourself off to bed.

Gatehouse77 · 31/01/2015 22:00

Sorry, but what do you mean 'making' you? What would happen if you walked away saying I'm off to bed?

TRexingInAsda · 31/01/2015 22:00

Get him to do it himself, that's ridiculous. And it would be ridiculous for a man to 'make' his wife do anything like that, pregnant or not.

PunkrockerGirl · 31/01/2015 22:01

Leave him to it. You shouldn't have to tell him why.

Skatingfastonthinice · 31/01/2015 22:02

Because he is an abusive and vile man who wants his woman on her knees being useful?
Or because he's a thoughtless arse caught up in the moment, finally focused on the task and hasn't thought it through?
Which is why using your words and saying 'I'm going to bed' rather than wishing you could go to bed is a better solution. Unless he's chained you to the sink, in which case get off MN and onto the police.

LikeIcan · 31/01/2015 22:03

YANBU - tell him to stick the grouting up his arse.

Go to bed & rest.

Orangedaisy · 31/01/2015 22:08

Yanbu but I have heard that being on all fours is a great way to get baby into a good position for birth. Maybe he's just helping
