Sorry I'm not Superwoman!

Need to let off a bit of steam! dh went out for a few drinks last night after work, he called and said he wouldn't be back until 9.30. My plans for elaborate dinner of posh sausage and mash with Delia's onion gravy never happened as dealing with grouchy dd (10 weeks). When dh got home at 9.30 I offered to do quick omlette or beans on toast, this escalated into a 'I don't understand what you do with your time all day'. He can't understand why I can't be perfect housewife as i'm off 'work', he said I should manage my time better so I can get things done and look after dd. We've all been through a worrying time as dd is intolerant to cows milk and soya, shes better now but was poorly. I'm still breastfeeding, dh has never been left with her by himself for more than an hour, he has no idea. Need to get hang of expressing lark so he can have her for longer by himself. My house isn't perfect but my dd is doing ok, is beans on toast such a crime?

Aaaah! that's brilliant, that he has been more sensitive today. Think it's also good if men can share experiences about how hard it is in the newborn days...but guess they don't get much chance while at work.
of COURSE you are a superwoman!

My Dh is a train driver and frequetly gets 2 hour(sometimes more) break during his working day. When he tells me this I feel like smacking him in the face.......We hardly get 2 minute break during our working day and its 24 hours that we work.
Tell your DH to cook his own dinner next time and ask where yours is when he's done it!
