I need to Vent

Ok, my Dr took me off work early, Sunday was my last day. Im going to go insane! I want to go back to work! I have had my fill of being home! OMG!!! Ima kill! My darling BF lets the kids eat in the living room, drip sippy cup all over and watch tv ALL DAY! So now I'm the b**ch! I wont let food/cups out of the kitchen, I hate the tv being on all day! Not to mention, naptime is whenever the pass out watching stupid kid shows on the wood floor! Im going to loose my freaking mind. He looks at me like Im crazy, but Im flipping out. I dont want to fight but we have SO SO SO much to organize before the twins get here and nothing is getting done because Im doing everything that should have been done all along!


Thanks for letting me vent

Hugs. Sorry, hon; that would be tough. Hope you guys are able to get on the same page soon.

 

I suggest that you sit down with him and let him know how you feel and how it's going to drive you nuts until everything is under control.

 

I'd just biff him on his forehead and tell him to wake up and look around.....then again, the pregnancy hormones tend to make me a bit violent.....

In all honesty, in a calm way remind him of all that needs to be done, and the fact that the chldren need some special time with you and he before the babies arrive - and TV is not the way to do it....

Big hugs...

 

Dudes don't get it.
Hang tough sista!

 

:hug:!!!!
Sorry that he 'doesn't get it' - I know how frustrating that is.
I agree, maybe before the twins get here you guys can try to come up with some sort of 'routine' for everyone that you both agree on?
Good luck & hang in there!

 

I can totally relate so here is a big hug :hug: I have two older children and a husband who is working overime but has never got the picture of what I do around the house to keep it somewhat decent! So what I did was make a list of what needs to be done twice a week (or more depending on the need) to maintain a sane mom and a cleanish house. The kids picked what they wanted to do and split it evenly. I then paid them minimum wage to do them. It ends up only being 10 dollars a week and they get a sense of earning money and I stopped buying toys and such and they buy them themselves. You could alter this and make a list for your bf. Explain that those things on the list are things you normally do and he has to do or you will stress out and end up in the hospital or on meds. You will have to let some things go its just reality. It will be a learning experience emotionally! I have been on bed rest since 10/6 so I totally understand. Communication is key. Good luck to you. It will get better and you will stop caring so much as you realize that there are babies in their that need you to not care and worry. Do you have anyone who can come in and clean once a week? My mom came over from Arizona and is doing some really deep cleaning and running errands, better than I ever did! If you dont have a person to help, maybe you can hire a maid?? Just an idea.
