Is it normal to want to kill DH in late pregnancy?

Because I'd gladly swing for mine right now.

He's always been a sensitive, caring, fantastic partner.

But in the last few weeks he's driven me to incandescent rage.

a) I know I'm hormonal and not handling things well.
b) I know he's under pressure with his first child arriving.

But FFS I'm 38 weeks pregnant, could drop any day, and the entire house is covered in crap I'm unable to lift because he thinks DIY is more important than making the house an ok place to bring a baby back to. He leaves me in an uncleanable nightmare and goes off to his nice clean office. Every time I move I bash my foot or my bump.

This has been going on for four weeks now, and every weekend he promises he'll put all the junk into the 'nursery' (hah) so that I can get the rest of the house clean.

Every week he has a lie-in, spends an hour in the bathroom, goes to the park with the dog for an hour, comes back, spends another half-hour in the bathroom, then finally starts faffing around at about 2:30-3:00pm. He works until around 8, then says he's too knackered to move anything into the room and I'll just have to live with it for another week.

Four weeks in a row he's done this.

I finally managed to get him to move everything tonight by having a total raving melt-down: not generally the way I like to sort things out, but needs must.

He's in total bloody denial.

ARRGGGHHHHHH!

Feel better now.

Bloody men.

Booboobedoo · 21/02/2007 21:41

Huge, exhausted and in a massive panic about how I'll get to hospital if I can'e contact DH, who will look after kids if I can't contact my dad etc etc etc ...

DH has been behaving a wee bit better today though...

Has he still not taken the communication issue on board foxy?

Is he on the same planet?

Planet Bloke me thinks!

I don't have a partner which is just as well as I suspect he'd be under the patio by now. I have been really shocked at how horrible I've been to people.
Today I shouted at the poor bloke in Cafe Nero because I asked for a 'normal' size coffee (so long since I've been in there that I forgot what they call them) and when he gave me a medium, I bit his head off. He looked quite scared and the manager had to come over and soothe me by saying he'd only charge me for a small one.
I've turned into a bitch on wheels

Sazzybee: so far today I have:

  • kicked off at the carpet fitters for not calling me before they turned up.
  • shouted at the dog.
  • kicked off on a thread which normally wouldn't even have been on my radar.
  • Burst into tears on the phone to my Mum for no reason.

It's lucky DH is at work, becuase I think if he had to spend all day with me atm he'd divorce me, baby or no baby.

What have I become?

To anwer my own rhetorical question:

A Raving Blardy Loony.
