To feel smug

About DP not being able to have a shower on his first full day with DS?
He's being taking the piss and ignoring my reasons for not showering weekly daily, for months and has said that I over react about how demanding (8mo) DS is.
WELL he ate his words on Monday didn't he when he had his first full day with him and couldn't have a shower. He casually brushed off this fact but I have been firmly wearing the smug pants ever since, causing major sulking ((grin)).

So, AIBU to be so smug?

Not to feel it, but probably to show it.
I'm not sure what it's supposed to achieve.

Yanbu, remembers when I went back to work after maternity leave and dh eating his words lol

Throughgrittedteeth · 03/04/2012 19:18

Well it achieves nothing. But it's a nice feeling to know that he knows, being at home with DS and getting things done, is harder than it looks.

DH has his first full day alone with DS next Friday. He'll do great but I am hoping he will gain a little insight into how much ork that is.

Don't show your smugness though or any empathy and understanding gained by your DH could quickly vanish!

I've just finished my maternity leave as his holiday started coincidently and I'm actually very happy that they're getting some good quality time together, which will hopefully make DS a little less clingy.
Generally I think it's made both of us appreciate what the other does more but he just wouldn't budge on the shower thing Grin bloody stubborn git.

I was only smug initially, which caused the sulking but I'm still dragging it out feeling it.

At times like this, the "I told you so" stance is quite appropriate!

Well he's had him all night alone and had him on his own loads but I've just not been away anywhere from early in the morning until this week.

YAsoNBU!

DP wasn't pulling his weight properly after DC1, so eventually I lost my temper with him and went to my mum's for the day. The theory was that he would discover just how hard it had been for me. Unfortunately, my velcro baby who would only nap on my chest for 20 mins at a time, decided this was the day to go into her cot for a three hour nap Angry

Glad it worked out well for you though Envy

Throughgrittedteeth · 03/04/2012 21:36

OhBrother thats so bloody typical! Similarly, DS never naps for more that 30 minutes at a time, but magically slept for 1.5 hours on Monday Shock DP even had a lie down too! ShockShock
