Up until about a week ago I was really looking forward to the arrival of dc2 (sometime in the next 5 weeks) but I just feel like shit now.
DH and I have just had a fight over a sodding sandwich! I dropped it when DS1 jumped on me, he rolled his eyes, I lost it! He says I should appologise and stop being so 'volatile'. DS1 (19mo) was clearly confused and upset but I still couldn't bring myself to say sorry, all my fault, just over reacting, even though I knew I was - what a horrid mummy I am.
I'm just shit at it. Since starting maternity leave he watches far too much cbbies, I'm just so tired.
I can't imagine how terrible I'll be when there's 2 of them to look after! 
Dreading vbac (which dh can't understand 
)
Dropped him back at work still not speaking, it's all shit.

Your DH is being a dickhead. YOU are pregnant, hormonal, and irrational. He has no bloody excuse. Sorry I can't offer a level headed response, I am hormonal and irrational right now too 
.
the pathetic thing is i just wanted him to give me a hug and say 'who cares about a stupid sandwich, I love you despite your hormones' Instead all i got was 'get a grip' and 'you're being irrational'
I FUCKING KNOW I AM !!!
Hi Honey,
Men do not experiance pregnancy in the same way as us and sometimes do not realise that we have to deal with hormones, they are often very 
.com. We have no control over how we feel sometimes. To cheer you up I cried for hours yesterday as I cleaned the kitchen and could not explain why.

Thanks, just feel so about it. We've just moved 250 miles which doesn't help. no one in rl near by to chat to, go to.
Oh dear
Perhaps he is also feeling a little overwraught and tired? Of course you shouldn't have rolled his eyes. And of course you shouldn't have snapped. But there we are... let it go. Perhaps just say 'sorry I snapped but please cut me some slack'. I am sure he'll also say sorry and he'll give you the hug you need.
Please don't worry about it. You are tired and awash with hormones. It will get better and it won't be as hard as you think with 2 of them. Chin up!
last night i made the mistake of taking the piss out of my dp record collection a bit much. he said " difference of opinion is fine but intolerance is just not cool" which caused me to storm up stairs and stay there and havent spoken to him since.
If it makes you feel any better, I threw mug at the wall and the pasta I had just cooked and drained all over DH last night and then stormed out of the kitchen. His crime? He asked if I had shut the chickens in for the night.
For some reason, it was the straw that broke the camels back, after a really niggly day, where I had been a complete hormonal cow. He just stood there like an idiot with a bemused look on his face, when he should have immediately appologised and given me a hug. 
Your DH will survive. Just give him a big hug and tell him you love him, when he gets home.
