to love my drunk DH?

[hestergraysgarden]

He got back from a rugby match an hour ago, slightly the worse for drink, to find me sitting on the sofa in the dark with 5 month old DS asleep in my arms. I had to tell him that I had spent most of the afternoon in A&E after I tripped and dropped DS on his head. DS is fine but I feel like such a horrible mother :(

DH wobbled strode into the kitchen without another word and made bangers and mash. He cut the sausages into bitesized portions so I could eat them one handed, and poured a big glass of wine. He never usually cooks.

I love him quite a lot tonight.

There are no words really

But I'm glad you and the baby are ok

aw i think this might be the first complimentary thread i've ever read about a drunk dh. i hope you're ok, that must have been pretty scary (the tripping, not the sausages)!

Thanks. I'm still not sure how it happened - I sort of stumbled over the side of his Jumperoo and he pushed himself backwards in shock and I must not have been holding him tight enough :(

I know this kind of thing happens but my god I didn't know it was possible to feel so gulty!

when we first brought ds2 home from hospital, i fell UP the fucking stairs while carrying him. at least you get the pure relief when it turns out they're okay. still terrifying though, i've been to a&e loads several times with the dc!

I actually filled up reading this! Bless you both

oh what a nce drunken husband did he not have his phone on him, anyway glad you are all ok, it happens but you always feel terrible I battered dd1 7month old little head off an outdoor window sill I was punting her up a bit and clonked it

Aw well done drunk DH.

Glad your DS is ok, There's no need to feel guilty. I know its easy to say but honestly accidents happen, DS was forever getting knocked over/dropped/fingers shut in things as a baby and he's survived and still loves me!

I'm not sure there is any baby that hasn't been dropped by their parent at some stage. My DS (5) was dropped out of the bed by DH after he fell asleep holding him and I woke up after falling asleep holding him to find I had hold of his leg and he was half hanging off the bed

With DD who is 5 months old, I was putting up the Christmasd tree, went to pull it away from the wall a little and the top half came off (artificial tree!!) and fell straight onto her. I am not allowed to forget that I upended a tree onto my daughter!!

My first DD (20) managed to trip and smash her head on a glass shelf under my dads fish tank. Have no idea how she did it as there was only a small gap to access it...she smasked the shelf but didn't have more than a small bruise herself!!

My 3 have all survived these things....don't feel guilty.

Thats lovely op

Well done OPs drunk DH.

I had to take ds3 to a&e when he was a few weeks old. Ds1 stood on the back of the buggy, buggy tipped backwards, and ds3 fell through the back of the buggy as I hadn't secured it properly. All was fine, but you feel so guilty.

I watched dd1 slow motion fall down a flight of stairs i just couldnt catch her in time I do think we have all done it at one point of our childrens lives

About time we had a lovely husband thread, personally I spend too much time moaning about mine when should be enjoying the lovely things.

And babies were made to bounce, glad you're all ok.

When my DS was 13 weeks old, DH was changing him on the sofa, got up to get something, sat back down a little too hard and DS bounced off the sofa like it was a trampoline, straight onto the laminate floor!!

What a lovely thread.

DH don't drink but when he does he come really soppy and sweeter.

When my DS was 12 weeks a lovely paramedic told me that babies fall out of windows and bounce back OK. I think she was exaggerating but they are hardy little things and most of us have had that Oh Shit moment.
