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?

They DO do what they like. But they are only human. They need to sleep at some point, all humans do. Even if he is asleep on one of us, we can still game.

Ok fine. I'm sure you'll be able to do exactly what you want and when. I'm clearly too Mary Poppins to know. I'm sure when he's crawling and climbing on you you'll be able to show him how to play your game instead of him trying to eat the controller.

And Ds spent a long time asleep on me. I used that time to sleep myself!! Switching the playstation in was bottom of my list lol

Goodness!

My babies slept from 6pm- 5/6am from about 4 months onwards, 2 hour naps in the afternoons until they started school pretty much. Not all babies are nightmare sleepers!

I found out I was pregnant in the new year after having a very over indulgent Christmas and was slightly concerned about my alcohol, smoking and food consumption (along with probably hundreds of other women) but the Dr assured me that these things are way over the top and pretty rare so not to worry too much.

Lots of drama on this thread and not all of it from the OP

If he is climbing all over me I will sit him on my lap and distract him with a favourite toy. The best thing to do with kids is to distract them. Their attention is easily changed as they have very small attention spans anyway.

Thank you. Someone chill and layed back for once x

Da fuq?
I'm lost.

Distract them.. ok.

Is it... really easy like that isn't it. That's where I've been going wrong I should have just distracted him with his favourite toy! He won't keep trying to do the same thing constantly if I do that.

I'm off. Ds is trying to eat the cat biscuits again and I'm just going to show him his favourite toy.

It works. Babies can forget things in a heartbeat if given an exciting toy.

You might want to look into screen time and effects of a lot of it on very young babies.. Just so you can make an informed decision on how much gaming you'll be doing around your baby.
You'll have people saying that's hysterical but it's pretty well documented that it's far from ideal.
My four year and a half old isn't allowed to "game" at all yet.
You seem to be very optimistic about it all which is great but it might be a bit of a disappointment when you're knee deep in nappies and your games console is dusty.

You're either taking the mickey or have very high expectations of your son.

Good luck!!!

This cant be real

Maybe if you were supervising him properly and gave him something to do before you go your phone out he wouldnt be trying to eat them?

Its rude but its true. Im blunt.

Knee deep in nappies? Thats grim mate. Please buy a bin!!! Your house is a biohazard!

I have two kids, one is 9 month. I think I know babies.

1. he isn't: but he likes to try
2. his dad is playing with him while I have some down time
3. you can consider yourself reported
4. I sincerely hope you don't suffer the depression, isolation and frustration I have since I had Ds
5. I'm done with you. May your high and mighty attitude bite you on the ass royally

Lol.

Has anyone reported this bullshit yet??

Lolz, you haven't had time to read up on basic pregnancy but you're a parenting expert. If you think that's blunt, you're only on Basic Rudeness Level One a.

ProudBadMum

Every baby is different though. They are individual human beings! Some are easy, some are nightmares, some are in between. We will love Daniel no matter what he is like, but we are hoping he is easy x We know he mauy not be, and that is ok
We will love him

I definitely managed gaming when I had a kid You don't have to be a boring mum 24/7 just because you're a mum.

You're all also being ridiculously rude to OP. I get that being careful in pregnancy is important, but she's clearly trying her best, has a support system in place and was just grumpy about not being able to go on her favourite rides. Like, yikes. Parents don't become only a parent as a personality trait as soon as the baby's born, just means you gotta play games you can pause when you're needed :D

I have two kids, one is 9 month. I think I know babies.

ProudBadMum no, it just means you know your own babies

I have a strong knowlege of Child Development from my Level 3 Early Years Play And Development BTEC. I didnt study pregnancy at college.

26 is not young to be having a baby. You need to chill out a bit and not picking fights with people on the internet. Admitting YABU for being jealous of your DH for going to Thorpe Park then walk away no need to keep picking fights amount the most ridiculous things.
