Ok so bump isn't that big yet but asked my other half to not drink at home as I know I am really gonna miss our nights in with a few drinks and a take away etc.
He thinks I'm being unreasonable but I don't think I am?
I have changed my diet, routine and of course my body is changing too so I don't think its much to ask to keep alcohol out the house?

BIWI - I can just see you with a ThatcherDo Grin What would the boys think?

ChippingInWiredOnCoffee · 06/06/2013 00:23

Pearly Grin

Mr & Mrs Bump well there probably was some bumping going on a while back

BIWI · 06/06/2013 00:24

A powder blue suit, with a white blouse and loose bow-tie, low level black court shoes. Fixed blonde curls.

My look never goes out of style.

squeaky! Grin

I think it was the 'Cunt, Shitting Arseholes' line if my cry was anything to go by...

ChippingInWiredOnCoffee · 06/06/2013 00:25

Very attractive BIWI, very attractive :)

Mr body had tonsillitis one Christmas and couldn't swallow so I cheerfully drank our Christmas booze stash by myself. It had to be done. Bloody marvellous.

BookieMonster · 06/06/2013 00:27

Fuck me, Narnia isn't all it's cracked up to be. Confused

ChippingInWiredOnCoffee · 06/06/2013 00:27

thebody - do you know many small children you could invite over mid December?? Grin

Poor OP probably won't come back now Sad she's not alone in her choice of words all the Newly pregnant youngsters at work use the same kind of terminology. I don't think anything of it tbh.

thecook · 06/06/2013 00:28

I would be have to drink everynight if I was your husband OP.

PearlyWhites · 06/06/2013 00:28

wtf1981 I think it was meant to be rofl not rolf, so rolls on floor laughing

ChippingInWiredOnCoffee · 06/06/2013 00:28

Bookie - I dunno - the snow is lovely :)

ChippingInWiredOnCoffee · 06/06/2013 00:30

Pearly - no I think it might have been rolf/ralph - as in throwing up?! Either I guess!! Grin

MaryZ - if it doesn't make sense when you are a tad drunk - it wont make any sense sober Grin

ChippingInWiredOnCoffee · 06/06/2013 00:32

Lighthouse - don't worry, I seriously doubt the OP is genuine.

LadyBeagleEyes · 06/06/2013 00:32

I love this thread Grin.
It's going into the surreal now, MN please don't delete it.

thebody · 06/06/2013 00:34

No Rolf or rofl, both sick making.

Hoping for his appendix this December.

50BalesOfHay · 06/06/2013 00:34

What did she do for you all to be so horrid?

Kneedeepindaisies · 06/06/2013 00:35

I think it's going past surreal, LadyBeagle.Grin

Although I'm not sure what is more surreal than surreal.

AudrinaAdare · 06/06/2013 00:36

Bump Daddy sounds like a rapper.

I agree with BoF.

When I was having DD, XH and BIL sat in my house drinking, smoking weed, taking speed and criticising me for my small glass of wine. I should have thrown them both out there and then.

BIWI · 06/06/2013 00:37

Well, what do you think, 50BalesofHay?

People have made their views clear on this thread.

Along with the view that the OP isn't genuine.

BIWI · 06/06/2013 00:38

And, as you can see from the post preceding mine, some posters have taken the OP seriously, and have given their views/advice.

ChippingInWiredOnCoffee · 06/06/2013 00:42

thebody - nah, you don't want his appendix causing problems, you'll have to waste spend half your Christmas Hol's visiting him in hospital... another dose of tonsilitis will do the job.

MammaTJ · 06/06/2013 01:49

Oo, oo, oo, I am on a diet and as I know I am really gonna miss our nights in with a few drinks and a take away etc. Do you think I should ask my baby daddy to stop drinking at home?

He thinks I'm being unreasonable but I don't think I am?

I have changed my diet, routine and of course my body is changing too so I don't think its much to ask to keep alcohol out the house?

Ah, no, that would not be reasonable and neither is asking that of your bumps daddy while pregnant. If it is that much of an issue for you to not drink when someone else is, I suggest you contact AA.

TheCatIsUpTheDuff · 06/06/2013 07:09

OK, assuming you're a new poster and you're not used to the bluntness of AIBU.

YABU, but understandably. You are pregnant, DP isn't, and as others have said, it's not really on to restrict him from his normal life for the full 9 months. If he gets pissed every night, you've got a bigger set of issues.

I'm 20 weeks pregnant with our first. We both go out less than we did before, because DH wants to spend time with me as well as with his friends, and I don't enjoy going out "drinking" when I can't drink. The last time we went to a gig, the vibration from the speakers made me feel sick. However, he still goes out without me sometimes, and I enjoy a night in with the telly or a good book.

He's changed his habits a bit, but the real change for him will come when the baby arrives (he's turned down a works jolly abroad when I'll be 37 weeks - I'd have been happy to take the risk, it's only a short flight and a first labour could easily be late and long, but he didn't want to chance it), whereas for me, the first real change happened when I got pregnant.

If he's thoughtful and considerate in other ways, a few beers won't do him any harm. You'll soon get used to it. I gather you're not very far gone.

And don't be put off by the flak you've taken - get to know the way people write on here, maybe namechange and dive back in. Usually if people are mean, you kind of deserve it - I know I did.
