I think perhaps I should have posted this here to start, so apologies for the double thread (I put this in the 'childbirth' section already).
I'm expecting our first child in 10 days. DH and I are also undertaking a big house renovation at the moment, which he works on every spare minute of the day (he also has a stressful full time job). We are renting elsewhere, and have a team of builders working on the new house. Between them they are making good progress but we won't be moving in before the baby arrives as originally planned.
Anyway, I have been as supportive as I possibly can. I have spent my mat leave collecting and delivering materials to the new house, and cooking for DH every evening when he eventually returns home. We took on this challenge together and knew it would be tough. I haven't moaned or expressed my anxiety that we'll be moving house with a newborn, and probably need to move in with my dad as our tenancy here expires very soon... I've put the nesting instinct firmly on hold and spend my spare time packing up boxes in our current place (on my own!).
Anyway, rather than come home last night when he finished working in the house, DH went to the pub and got royally pissed. We've spoken about him laying off the booze this close to due date, but he seems incapable of ever just having a pint or two. He doesn't hold his drink well either.
Admittedly he doesn't do this often, and I know he needs to let if some steam, but AIBU to expect him to stay sober this close to due date? He'd have been useless if we had to get to hospital last night.
Sorry, that was longer than I expected!
