Think I have PMT and just lost it this morning when DP stayed in bed AGAIN snoozing merrily away while I woke up at 6 with DS. I didn't wake DP till later because a) he whinges on and on if he doesn't get enough sleep, which is OK in itself except it makes me mad and starts an argument - and b) because (as per Pruni's recent complaint) I can't stand always being the one to orchestrate everything - why can't he decide to get his own arse out of bed, why can't he announce that I will get a lie-in the next day and take responsibility for DS???
Told him as much in no uncertain ranting terms and get this - he DID NOT REALISE (sorry to shout) that DS had been awake!!! All this time - 6 months - he has thought DS had a lie-in at the weekend like us! Doh! I mean I knew he didn't know much about babies but... .
On the few occasions I have swallowed my pride and woken him up and told him to look after DS while I have a sleep, he's thought that was a rare occasion when DS popped out of bed early. So he's thought he has been doing me a huge favour by getting up early with DS on the few occasions it's been necessary!
(And yes I do believe him, he can be that dimwitted.)
I know, I know, we need to communicate better. One prob is that wanted a baby more than he did so now I tend to take on all the baby work even though I want to share it more. DP also works very hard during the week. And to be fair now the penny has dropped he's suggested we can have one lie-in each at the weekend.
But now I have had a blimming Xmas row with my lovely (usually) DP and feel so annoyed. Was really looking forward to having Xmas with just the 3 of us. Them my mum phoned with her inane nattering and I snapped at her too. Why does Xmas do this to me???
Rant over, no need to reply, unless you fancy making me feel better with your own tales of traditional Christmas rows. Ho hum.
