Attractive Au Pair making me feel jealous!

187 replies

It's very early days with the au pair - she arrived on Tuesday. She's young and attractive and ds seems to really like her. I am 31 weeks pregnant, grumpy, sleeping badly and 40. My ankles disappeared weeks ago and I feel unattractive.
Dh usually spends his evenings on the computer, leaving me to deal with ds, but he has become very interested in spending time playing with ds now that the au pair is here and spending time with ds. I'm feeling jealous and I hate it! (Not least because I'll be having a planned c section in a few weeks, leaving dh and au pair alone for as long as I'm in hospital for - last time it was a week.)
I'm tempted to tell dh how I'm feeling, but I imagine I'll just get told that I'm being paranoid and that he's just being friendly. And the irony is that I said I needed help for when the babies arrive and we settled on an au pair for cost reasons, so I imagine I'll get that thrown back at me, too.

I would hate this situation (especially whilst being pregnant) and would find it stressful and probably ultimately intolerable.

When our second baby came along there was extreme tiredness, bickering, losing our closeness as a couple for a short time while we adapted to our larger family. The thought of having a beautiful girl in the house with all that going on would just have been... NO.

It's a really special time you won't get back, do what ever you need to. It's your family.

Recipe for disaster in my optinion.

Some of the attitudes on here are disgusting. Discriminating against attractive women, making them "know their place", and the mistrust of husbands is astounding.

Zombie thread. Bollocks!
