to be annoyed that dh has...

[THEHOLLEANDERIVY]

been to the hospital today for a consultation about his vasectomy and is having it done on Friday, I mean it is 4 days before christmas and we had allsorts planned over the weekend, to finish off shopping do a food shop and clean the house. I know it is not a major op and he wont be laid up for days but i am assuming he wont be able to do the shopping with me.I am going to be run ragged come christmas.And to top it all off he had a parking ticket when he came out of the hospital.
ok I probably am BU but needed to get it off my chest.

You won't be able to get tangled in the tinsel either

Oh i hadn't even thought about that

Oh trust me - he is a bloke whose dangly bits have been messed with. You'll be lucky if he manges to get out of his chair without whinging by Easter

The only people I know who havehad vasectomys have been up and around practically straight away and said minus a few twinges they felt fine. Hopefully your dh will be the same.

I know, he is a big baby i am dreading it, we are going to my parents for christmas day and he was doing the driving but i guess that isnt going to happen now, so aswell as a moaning and groaning dh i am going to be sober aswell.

Make sure he puts frozen cabbage on his bits every hour for the first day. He'll be alright after that.

Thing is, I bet he is congratulating himself at being organised and getting it booked in so quickly

It may not be convenient, but be tactful - he is volunteering to have his bits messed with and if you don't at least pretend to be grateful he may be sulking all through Christmsa

Oh i hope so tinytim i really dont think he will live to see newyear if he does all the moaning and groaning and clutching his b*s thing.

honestly, you need to start practising the sympathetic face NOW. He is going to be reallt offended otherwise (unless he is a paragon amongst men, I may be misjudging him)

i take it you'd agreed to him having it done then before he had the conultation??.....its a bit of a bad time of the year to have it done i agree, but anyone i know who's had it done said they were fine the next day!!....he might not be so bad,....just take it as it comes i say!!

Oh I expect it's a quiet time for the hospital staff and that's why they want him in on Friday. At least when it's done it's done and you can relax in the New Year without worrying about getting pregnant.

Do all your non-perishable food shopping with him before he goes in and then you can go on your own for the other stuff - and of course he'll be around to look after the dc's while you shop in peace.

oh blimey hope he is not a drama queen like my dh (bless him )He was - ahem - very swollen for two or three days and was in bed for about two days so it's not always 'up and about' in a few hours.....

I'm not sure this is the best time he could have chosen...

however at least he is willing, so many men aren't. but I think you may be in for a busy christmas week what with looking after a man who has had his bits done as well as general christmas stuff............good luck!

Glaskam.. I think "coming" any time over Christmas might be a bit much to ask of him.. .. but he will certainly be able to potter around the house being helpful as long as he follows he aftercare instructions to the letter!

I really cant do the sympathetic thing right now ive got too much to do (she says sitting here mumsnetting ) he is a typical man so you would think his thing had been chopped off not two little incisions in his B*s.

think you have to accept that he WILL complain. If you don't want him languishing all holiday like an early Christian martyr you're going to have to manage this one

haha- didn't know what you meant, then re-read my post....ahem, i didn't mean it in that sence!! i was purley and innocently saying to take it one step at a time.....them bethlehem went and embarressed me!!!

You could threaten him. He will be more sensitive to a kick in the groin after all

I definatley agreed to it i just didn't think the plonker would agree to a date so close to christmas. at the take it as it comes, like shiny said i dont think there will be any 'coming' of any sort.

ooh paula that is wicked
