I'm 33 weeks pregnant & we're still majorly decorating our house ready for baby coming (1st DC). DH has worked really hard so far, but there's still so much to do & I just don't think we're going to be ready in time.
We've had offers of help from family & they've been great, but DH sometimes finds them a bit interfering & says he'd rather get on with it himself.
But it's getting to the point now where I just need it completing - the house is a complete mess, there's stuff everywhere, I feel like I can't get organised or get anything ready for the baby because everything's just been shoved out of the way so we can decorate...I'm getting really stressed.
Just said to DH I don't think we're going to be ready in time are we, & he just shrugged & said if we're not then we're not! Not the answer I was hoping for!
I'm sure he feels the pressure, & he's probably annoyed at me nagging, but he sounds like he's getting fed up & cant be bothered now. He's not exactly been on it the past few weekends - for example today he only got started at 2pm, & he's told me there's some sport on telly tomorrow afternoon that he'll be watching, so that will probably be a write-off too!
Am I being unfair, or would I be well within my rights to kick off & say actually, this needs to take priority & has to be finished before baby gets here?!
