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?

Christ, the dysfunction for poor Daniel.

Hopefully you've bought more than one of the customer for little Daniel OP. Whenever I put my 6 week old in a cute little outfit or costume she decides to be sick on it

My partner and I both love gaming too so take it in turns watching her while other can have some down time on xbox, though still nowhere near as much time on it. Also I don't get absorbed in it as I used to, even if she's content in my partners arms she is such a distraction and I always end up pausing to go coo/chat to her etc. I've got it bad!

*costumes not customer

Are you 15?

Are you?

I think you've probably realised by now that it would be sensible to let your other half go to the theme park without you but to be honest my husband probably would have felt a bit mean going without me in your circumstances and would have postponed the trip until I could come so I can see why it's bothering you a bit

Is that what the thread's actually about though? As it seems to be about cheese and Minecraft and all kinds of random stuff.
Seriously lost here. How you're managing to make sense of it all is beyond me!

Without being mean, you've been answering and arguing with strangers on mumsnet for 5 hours but haven't read a few pages of leaflets the midwife gave to you months ago. I in no way think reading a book will help you deal with pregnancy or parenting, but it's still a very good place to start. My husband's philosophy is "expect the worse and hope for the best" which is all you can do. I would say the majority of people are hoping for easy babies, but someone has to end up with the crier, the one that doesn't sleep, the one who's poorly a lot. I'm due next week and I am under no illusion it will be easy, and thankfully I will have a lot of help from my husband (And just mentioning on a side not it was a bit irritating that your OH isn't manly and will help with nappy changes and baths, not sure when being a good father correlated with being less manly). All we can do is our best, but I think like most people we find it hard to believe that in 6 months you haven't had the chance to read a few leaflets that could benefit the baby you love.

I've got beautiful picture of my DD aged 3 days asleep on her daddies tummy whilst he played his Xbox and I slept ..... that no longer happens 6 months down the line, she wants the controller.

meandtwo out of line.

Nice bit of casual racism there.

I'm glad you have hours and yes I have struggled but I think my time is better spent on him. Your example is vile however. I love gaming but it's my treat now. When Ds sleeps (if...) I do the jobs I can't while he's awake.

I don't think it's unrealistic to say you won't have as much time to do these things at all. I like to read but can't when Ds is trying to eat my book!

And I'm on my own a lot - my family aren't in this town and my in laws work when I'm at home. I cope fine but I can't do the things I did before he came. That's not projecting it's the truth.

Some people just have no fucking clue. It's 2017!!

Meandtwo is talking a load of crap anyway - my DS was a very easy newborn and baby - he has got way, WAY harder post 10 months.

Meandtwo you might not be 12 or Asian or male but it seems you dont mind throwing casual racisist remarks around.

This. My DS is 1 now and he's hard work. It's much easier when they are little and can't move. Today I've spent all day trying to stop him climbing under the TV unit, behind the back of the sofa and pulling the curtains. I'm knackered and getting to the end of my tether with him, unfortunately I'm waiting in for a package so can't take him out.... Funnily enough though his favorite toys don't seem to be offering much distraction.

This OP is in for the shock of a lifetime. Reminds me of me when I was pregnant. I hadn't a bull's notion. Rest assured though posters, she will learn.

I don't understand how you get to six months of pregnancy and not realise you can't eat certain food

I don't understand why people go around saying you can't eat certain food. You can eat whatever you want/

If you are going to breastfeed there will be things you can't eat post-pregnancy too

Even more bullshit.

I haven't read every post or the 'other' thread but really don't know why you are getting such a hard time. Yes it's best to inform yourself but people miss things sometimes - there was some obscure food that I didn't realise till number 2 came along that you are ideally not supposed to eat. As long as you are not gurgling vodka and injecting drugs it seems unlikely your baby would come to harm as I understand it (disclaimer = I am not a medical adviser).

Unless you are unlucky I would have thought you will have some disposable me time even as a parent - albeit much less. After a point most children I know nap at least a couple of hours in the afternoon and go to sleep in the evening. If you want to spend that time gaming so be it. You may or may not wish to take him to conventions once he is actually born but I'm not sure why the concept is so bothersome to anyone else.

And yes you ABU to stop your DH going to a theme park just because you can't.

In bf two and had no idea you were supposed to avoid anything (except perphaos too much booze)...

You're not.
