To be peed off with DP?

[LuckyStarOfBethSalem]

We're meant to be decorating the nursery this week (Weds, Thurs & Fri) We finally went shopping to get the stuff today and cos DP normally works nights (10-7) I agreed that we'd go for a quick kip this afternoon and get up tonight to do the nursery.

We went to bed at 5pm, it's now 11:30pm and he's still in bed getting moody with me for trying to wake him up!! and it's not like he hasn't slept. Yesterday he went to bed at 1pm and didn't get up till gone 10pm THEN went back to bed after making some tea at 12pm and didn't get up till 6am!

I'd do it myself but I'm 37 weeks pregnant and can't reach to do the wallpapering never mind much of anything else!

Is this pregnancy hormones overbalancing?

I hate it when my hubby does shifts
they are aways moody
take him a cup of tea and a paint brush it needs doing you are almost there !!
congratulations on your bay btw

baby

A little bit unreasonable.

We all have knackered phases.

my girls make me laugh ask them where their daddy is and they nearly always say bed lol
he does regular nights

has he decided to help yet?

Thing is, the baby isn't going to notice if the nursery is not finished by the time he or she arrives (and hopefully he/ she will be sharing a room with you for the first 6 months anyway).

Relax on the matter tonight...and when he is a bit more alert tomorrow use reason and measured persuasion. It will get you further! (wish I could employ these techniques with my dh, lol)

He's still in bed!

I wouldn't mind so much but we'd agreed to get it done this week and I let him sleep yesterday cos I knew he'd need a good kip and we agreed to sleep this afternoon and do it tonight cos that's when he's normally awake but he won't get up and just gets naggy at me each time I haul my fat arse up the stairs to try to wake him.

I've just taken him a cuppa and as soon as I switched the light on he's huffing and moaning, Just stood at the bottom of stairs and he's snoring again.

I'm knackered now cos I've buggared my body clock up for him but I know as soon as I try to go to bed he's gonna miraculously wake up and ask me why I'm going to bed!

My parents are coming tomorrow at 10am to see the nursery and all they're going to see are blank walls at this rate.

Maybe a little bit unreasonable.I work mixed nights and days and nights are a killer.When did he do his last night???

You have a serious case of nesting instinct kicking in. Despite being heavily pregnant - you have an insatiable desire to "get everthing sorted" now! - bet you could go down and scrub your floors with a bit of bleach and a used toothbrush right now!

I used to be like this in latter stages of pregnancy. I went into labour having weeded the garden in 80 degrees farenheit temperatures all day

Weird isn't it?I had the urge to clean the kitchen cupboards at 39 weeks.Despite fact I couldn't reach upper ones..In fact I was quite mental when pregnant.!!!

Wake him in morning with cuppa and paintbrush in hand!!

He last worked nights Tuesday night.

I've got nesting BAD!! I was up at 11o clock the other night scrubbing the kitchen floor and stainless steel backsplash!! lol.

Well I'm gonna give up in a minute and go to bed.

lol - yes please do go to bed!

(you need the rest)

Extraordinary isn't it - what pregnancy does to otherwise sane women

Yeah, just a little bit unreasonable
Just you wait until you are in hospital with that lovely new baby of yours. My DH finished our bathroom (it had been ongoing since we became pregnant) and loads of stuff around the house for us coming home. Sit back, relax and crack the whip from the hospital bed.
End of pregnancy cleaning, I was out in the garden cutting the grass whilst in early labour cos it just couldn't wait another minute
Hang on, your parents are coming up?
Well, what are dads for??

I sanded and oiled all the patio furniture whilst in the early stages of labour and I remember it seemed essential at the time. DH was wrestling the paintbrush out of my hand trying to get me to sit down.

Whats the big deal over this 'nursery' thing.

Ive never had a 'nursery' for my DS and this one will not have one either.

Shift work is awful and there are loads of reports about how doing it can actually shorten your life and make you ill.

You are 37 weeks and these are the last few weeks where your DP can acutally get some ligitamate sleep before he will 'have' to wake up in the night.

Surely the baby will be in with you for a few months at least, there is plenty of time to finish off.

Have some chill time.

DH was finishing the nursery, when my contractions were 5 minutes apart !
