annoying sexist gits

[noodlekitkat]

Sorry - am a bit confused here. Am 5 months pregnant and have been off the booze with DH for 4 of these since finding out. In addition to this unlike, DH I can not eat anything I like, feel like sh*t most of the time, have to leave work and am ruining my body.

Yet for some reason people are reacting very strangley to DH, either:

a) being really impressed with him - like he is making some sort heroic effort - Hello?

b) telling him off for modifying his behaviour? Like having a man's baby is such a treat for a woman we would find it acceptable endure all the negative rubbish alone?

I certainly would not endure any of this if DH was not prepared to make at least the same commitment as me in making this baby and looking after it!

thank you suej. can see you are cruel woman... but fair. lol

Freaky I could learn to love you - every accountants dream, to be called "cruel but fair"

Actually, I felt a lot like Noodle in my first (unplanned) pregnancy. I felt like shit, not helped by the fact I had painful BH all the way through, and undiagnosed SPD. It didn't feel remotely like a privilege and I too worried like hell about work. And come on, you lot may be prancing around in thong bikinis but I personally would love my waist to have gone back to its previous indentation (and I speak as someone who is size 10 jeans and an F-cup bra).

Cheer up, sweetie, there are some nice bits too. Even someone as stunningly hopeless at the whole motherhood bit as me has been known to manage a wan smile and occasional admission that the Inferiorettes have a certain winsome charm

Living with me when pregnant was penance enough for my husband...
