To be angry with dp

[Due2015]

I know I definitely am but I can't help it, I'm heavily pregnant and can't sleep with heartburn,aches kicking etc... He's happily snoring away
next to me I want to punch him

I remember that feeling well

And lord save us.. There will be people demanding approved, policed, copy and paste sentences next from up above soon

FFS what is wrong with MN atm, it's like fucking PC Brigade

Laying here with SPD uncomfortable as hell, DH asleep, oblivious, whilst baby kicks and it feels like my vagina is going to split in half!

Not being unreasonable at all, I totally sympathise with the feeling and remember it well. Ignore the posters who can't see the difference between expressing a feeling and acting on it.

peace and love people

Careful moomaid apparently you can't say that because it's not actually going to split in half!

I don't know araiba, I only use the metric system. But I didn't say an entire horse, did I. That would be silly. like this thread was meant to be until someone spoiled the light hearted nature of it

araiba You do have a valid point, you have just chosen the wrong thread to put it across on.

OP is frustrated, there is nothing to suggest she is going to punch her dh, she is hitting out (not literally, so don't get too worked up) at the injustice that many pregnant woman feel when their other half get off scott free while we battle various pregnancy related issues. Some of them huge, some not so much!

I remember dh lying with his head on my belly & dd giving him a massive kick (his head literally left my belly) and I told him it was my way of getting him back for the crap I was going through...that wasn't to say I wanted him kicked in the head, just that it felt good that he got to share the kicks ;)

Clearly there are people who just don't do "light hearted" or irony.

Pregnant women often have difficulty getting comfortable to go to sleep, yet their menfolk don't for some reason (odd that).

The OP was expressing that, not threatening domestic violence ffs. There are some people who look for offence in anything!!!!

Op wait until the bastard falls asleep when you are in labour.
THEN you will know what real annoyance feels like.
(i may be projecting slightly)

When I was pregnant with DC3 with a toddler and a pre-schooler to look after, I was so exhausted I marvelled that I was still functioning at all.

I told DH this and his response was that he totally understood because he was also tired as work had been busy recently.

I wanted to... erm... speak a little sharply to him

araiba i know that.
But please. Sense the tone here.

Only on MN!

araiba, get a little perspective, please!

Mumsnet is just fucking unbelievable sometimes. Surely anyone would realise that it was a lighthearted expression if frustration rather than an expression of intent to commit domestic violence?

bloody hell fire. Hope you are ok OP. I remember the feeling well....heavily pregnant, can't get comfy in any position, even when I did fall asleep the baby would choose that moment to sit on my bladder and I'd need to pee urgently , heartburn, aching back, exhaustion... and through it all, watching my husband happily trotting about, happily eating and drinking, and yes, watching him sleep comfortably. I used to call it sleeping at me. A deliberate act intended to wind me up.

I quite often wanted to punch my husband when I was pregnant. Since I didn't actually punch him (or threaten him, or speak abusively to him) I didn't consider that there had been any violence done. I take domestic violence very seriously indeed, but most people fantasise about things they would never do in real life. I guess the question is whether these fantasies are dangerous - and we can go back to Plato and Aristotle for that argument. Surely, though, most sleep-deprived people feel aggrieved when in the presence of someone who is snoring.

My tactic was to keep adding pillows till there was literally no room for dh in the bed, he gave up and moved into the spare room when I was adequately supported by 9 pillows and a couple of cushions!

A miniature horse weighs about 200lbs if I remember rightly. Minus bone u reckon someone could eat that.

Sorry for just coming back to this, yet again he is fast asleep haha!!
Don't worry I won't punch him just think about it

This is my first ever ltb

Hope you get some sleep tonight
