To not want DH to go to to Thorpe Park because tbh im jealous?

[MummyMiddleton]

I am almost 6 months pregnant (due Nov. 10)

DH and I have been invited to Thorpe Park next week. I have said there is no point in me going as I wont be able to do much apart from eat and sit on the fake beach. But DH still wants to go. I really want to be ok with him going but at the same time I am VERY VERY jealous. I love theme parks and thrill rides. I live for them. I cant wait to be able to go on them again and one day we can take Daniel too. I know pregnancy doesnt last forever and I would rather have our baby than a one day fun experience. But it still hurts to see other people having fun when you are not

Should I ask him nicely not to go or should I just bite my tounge and say fuck it? Its either I upset DH or I upset myself? Aibu?

A lot of parents that find the baby stage boring, find toddlers more fun, hell knows I did. Even if I was woken up by DS pretending to be a ghost at 5 a.m.

Thats adorable x

If a baby on a bus is crying, your natural reaction is to play peekaboo with it.

My natural reaction is to turn up the volume on my music. Wtf is a motherly instinct

He's just shy of toddler and I can't wait. He seems frustrated that he can't walk as he seemed frustrated when he couldn't crawl properly - he zombie dragged for a couple of months but is not confidently hands and knees.

I just want him to be at the stage where we can understand each other a bit better and he can talk and tell me what's wrong rather than the one size fits all wail lol.

I adore the little bugger and he is honestly the greatest achievement I have ever done, but sweet Jesus it's harder than anything in this world.

Now confidently

I like to turn up the volume and play peekaboo

When is this theme park trip?

May I suggest you ditch gaming and come on MN to entertain me.

Thanks.

MummyMiddleton - I wouldn't feel too bad, I bet half the parents berating you spent more money on their pram than their childs car seat.

(But do look up car seats, there's a new safer standard that's out - recommendations to keep children rearward facing for significantly longer)

The thing is though, playing peekaboo with a baby on a bus for 2 minutes is cute. Playing peekaboo for hours with a baby who has been screaming in your face for two hours because they're overtired / colicky / teething etc, when you've only managed 4 hours sleep in 3 days is less 'fun', more 'torture'.

You can have so much more fun with a toddler, bought him a toy and the turned it into a pirate treasure hunt .

okay, yikes, women can do whatever they want

Yabu about the theme park you will be missing out on so much more in the future.

As for the foods you can and can't eat I was given a list with my first by my Dr when I was surprised with the news I was pregnant at 22. I never went to an antinatal class or write a birth plan with any of my three but I did read the leaflets.

Is random made out of socks I wonder

SAHM and housewife in the same sentence as two insults is.... erm different

There does indeed come a time that you'd rather gouge your own eyes out than play peek a boo....

Also they get bored of it very quickly and start ro give you this look.

No. Women and men are equal. They should have the same rights and the same level of freedom and choices. Women cannot do whatever they want, neither can men. No person can.

I am starting to dislike the name Daniel because ive read it so much.

At this one is a tiny bit amusing.

Well there's a cold wind a blowing and this thread is turning sinister...

I did spend more money on his pram/pushchair than his car seat... it's actually difficult not to....

U2 same here. It's becoming a bit Damien/Omen like.
Anyway the best yummy mummies don't even have prams. It's all about the wraps and slings innit.

But thats the thing. Once Daniel is born, DH and I will both have to miss out to some extent but we will also have the flexibility to take turns and baby share. He is both our baby.

But I am the one who is pregnant, we cant baby share at the moment. At least when Daniel arrives we can take turns. At the moment I am the only one who has to miss out

Yy nicolas - real mothers babywear!
