Pregnancy-poll poll Anyone else having trouble getting their hubby to help get the house ready for the baby? I`m 35 weeks and all my hubby want to do lately is be freakin` lazy! There is so much i want to get done that i can`t physically do and when i continually ask him for help he says that i`m `using him`. What do you think?

My hubby has been totally helpful and responsible. sorry about your luck.
My hubby is about normal. He helps but i have to ask all the time.
My hubby is like yours lately... lazy and winey. Maybe they're jealous of the attention we're getting.
My hubby never has helped me and he never will.

I don`t think it`s as `real` for some men as it is for others. and it certainly isn`t as real for them as it is for us. I`ve basically picked out everything for the baby, ordered everything, decorated her room and worried over the details while my hubby sort of `does what I ask him to do` like hang curtains or help put together the crib. I think they just don`t sweat the details like we do.

Keep nagging him. I am so glad I did. Finally got my husband to pitch in along with my father and my fIL. I was 27 weeks when I got the rooms all fixed, and guess what so glad I did because at 32 weeks I ended up having my daughter. I didn`t make it to my baby shower, but the room was all set and when I did eventually have the shower, I was able to add more to the room. My baby was in the NICU for about a month, so I still had time to work up the room.

i dont know why he would say you are using him. thats a bit insensitive. youre doing your part carrying the child. he needs to do his part. you cant physically do things you used to be able to do. he is going to have to step up and do it. the house needs to be safe and ready for baby as once baby arrives you will not have any time to do anything at all. maybe he doesnt realize this. id tell his mom on him lol. i know that sounds funny but i would. my partners mother loves me and would totally lay into him if he wasnt keeping up his duties lol. i dont know maybe youre husband feels unapprieciated. i would make a huge deal over things when he does help and see if it motivates him to do more. its not like you have alot of time. baby can be here any time. ugh. why are men so difficult =/

honestly i really went lazy with my dh the last month of my pregnancy. i think it was that as much as we relly wanted or baby we knew that once our son arrived that there were quite a few things we wouldn`t have time to do anymore so we soaked it up while we could lol

Well some days he is so helpful but others he just tunes out the world. I donno. My hubby was doing tons for me at 28 weeks too. I feel like he is overwealmed by the responsibility of what`s about to hit and is taking these last few weeks as his last shot at freedom or something. He is usually a great guy and i hate to even talk bad about him. This is just so out of the ordinary and it is really frustrating...

  1. I`ve re-thought the moderating of the member-postings. How does this sound? Let`s change it to usage, rather than length of time as a member. Say your first 10 or 20 polls, questions and pictures need to be approved by a Mod or something like that. Someone posting the racist polls and adding the kiddie porn is unlikely to participate as a normal member. Once you are verified as a regular member you`re no longer monitored.
  2. How long did it take you to get pregnant after you got your IUD (Mirena) out?
  3. Twilight valentines for 7 year olds... appropriate or not? DD received a valentine with a very... sultry smoldery Edward on the front and I was just kind of surprised that anyone would buy those for 7 year olds? I know I`m on the conservative side in general on those kinds of things, but this really surprised me!
  4. My daughter is almost 5 months and 3 weeks ago my hair started falling out. I know it`s normal but how long did it last for you?
  5. With all the issues going on with the site maybe we need an updated list on Mods. Obviously Laura is the one to go to but if there is a concern and it needs immediate attention and a Mod is online it may be good to know who is who so you can reach out to them. Mods, can you please post here so we know who you are. (Esp since some profiles names had to be changed because of recent log on issues)
  6. Anyone wanna try http://parentspuzzlepieces.spruz.com/ a free community site I just made? Let me know if you want the password and would want to help add things to it!!
  7. I think with all the posting issues IAP needs to appoint someone to verify all pictures, polls, questions, etc that are posted by new members. Sure, it`ll probably make things slower, but something needs to be done! Many websites have this installed and IAP needs it as well. Members that have been on the site for a certain time can be exempt, but if you are a new member, posts should be monitored. I`m going to copy this suggestoin to Laura and if you agree you should too!! :)
  8. MODS ~ please help me in monitoring the photo pages and other pages. Horrific porn was posted in photos sections and they need to be deleted as soon as they are seen. I reported it to Laura also. TX!!
  9. my 4 yr old has 3 planter warts on his foot,.. any home remedies gals or is this a dr visit?
  10. ok ladies, sry its long but i really need some advice, a year ago my 5 yr old brother was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes, over the last year my mom has had a hard time dealing with his diagnosis because there is no cure and all she can do is give him 5 insulin shots a day to keep him alive, she looks at it like march 13th 2011 was the death of her healthy little boy and she woke up with this sick child, well i always tell her she needs to go to counseling to learn how to cope with this but lately i`m more worried about my baby brother, he came home the other day from kindergarten and had a picture of a red headed boy with a knife, 3 people under the ground dead and another one on top of the ground covered in blood, he recently grabbed one of my 15 yr old brother`s pocket knives out and started swinging it at my older brother because they were fighting, and then he told my mother he wanted to be a serial killer when he grows up! he has said before that he wishes he would die, that he didn`t want to wake up the next morning,.....
