Same old, DP went out last night, fine hasnt been out for ages, I was happy for him to go.

Its his Birthday on Saturday and is planning a night out straight from work tomorrow night in town with mates.... fine... probably wont see him till Saturday morning..

Anyway, he has just texted asking if its ok if he goes for a drink after work tonight with a colleague ( who I thought was going out with them all tomorrow )

I am 35 weeks pregnant, still working full time, my back and lower pelvis is really aching since i was rushing around at lunch time, all i want to do is get straight into a hot bath, and let DP look after DC1 for a bit...

AIBU ??

I dont want to stop him going out but FFS, I'm knackered !

YANBU - he sounds like my DH - he is very unreasonable on the 'just nipping out for a few beers after work' front as well. But you take the rough with the smooth right?

I reckon I'm going to be on my todd when Labour hits !!

oh I am being hormonal arent I !?

Sometimes you have busy social weeks. As long as this isn't the norm and happening every week I'd let it go tbh.

kill him

Cheepz · 28/01/2010 16:57

[abit hormonal maybe] but you should start making him realise he needs to take your calls - DH never used to pick up calls when he was out when I was pregnant, but since DS was born I have at least trained him that it might be important!

joanne34 · 28/01/2010 16:58

I know, I cant tell him what to do but it would be nice if he actually thought about me first for once instead of Beer !

Anyone would thinks he is the only person that works in the world !

Oh now I am just moaning ! Oh sod him.

depends on if he does this all the time and also more importantly does he realise you are not happy with him going ? If you keep saying its fine then he probably doesnt think its an issue.

I don't think you are being that unreasonable. Three nights out on the trot is a bit much esp when you are at the stage of pregnancy that you are at and need that extra bit of support and tlc.

monkeypinkmonkey · 28/01/2010 17:03

If its a one off busy week let it go, sometimes things all come together.

joanne34 · 28/01/2010 17:08

He has been good for the past 6 to 8 weeks.

Anyway, i just phoned him, he said he was coming home, but i could hear his sadness, so i said you can go if you want, but just for one !

Anyway he's going, plus out tomorrow, but when I hit 36 weeks.... he's going nowhere !

So... AIBU to let DC1 of 6.5 to get his own dinner !

Don't tell me that DC1 is not making his own dinner yet??? Of course, he should be getting his own and yours, 3 courses, served silver service, no cutting corners.

YANBU
(until you got to the bit where you said he was "being good")
Give DC1 toast and cheese and fruit and stick him in front of a DVD for a bit.
