07-1-2009 - big jerk

My mood while writing this blog: Ok

---

So --I work with my lovely hubby, and he sits just outside my office in an open area with a bunch of women. Today he is complaining about taking the hospital tour tonight to anyone who will listen. I told him that this was the only thing that I wanted him to do because I want to know what to expect, and I want him to know where he is going. I plan on getting an epi, so birthing classes were optional - he decided we should go, but one breath after telling everyone how he doesn't want to go to the hospital tour - he starts telling them how we even have to go to stupid lamaze classes. Most of them are telling him to suck it up and go and stop complaing, but one girl starts loudly agreeing with him that she never did any of this stuff and it is stupid, and he is agreeing and says 'someone should tell sue'. To which point, I step out of my office to tell him I can hear him, I am only 5 ft away and we are not doing lamaze, we are taking another class - he is crazy, and didn't bother to tell them how he was actually the one all worried about if we should take classes and which ones. Seriously, it sounds a bit anticlimactic here, but my blood was boiling! So irritating to listen to him complain about all of this stuff when he is the one who has wanted to get pregnant for the past 5 years so badly and was mad at me for waiting, but now cannot be bothered with any of the real stuff that goes along with pregnancy and my wanting to be prepared and learn stuff. I suppose that is a typical man, but I could strangle him right now. Okay, end of rant ( :

Hey Sue, Sorry to hear he's being a pain. My hubby tends to do the whole it'll be fine thing at work too. Meanwhile at home, he's trying to make sure we dot all our i's and cross our t's. I'm sure we all have our moments where we want to strangle our men with regards to something related to our pregnancies. Mine is over baby names. He's always throwing crazy names at me and expects me to take him seriously. Hopefully, there is something out there we can agree on. Hang in there. :)

Try not to stress to much. I know EXACTLY how you feel about your husband; I'm going through it myself. Being a first time mom you want to make sure you have all the knowledge you can actually get because this is all so new to you. I went through all the classes the first time around and tours and they do help because you want to make sure your husband isn't running around the hospital frantically because he didn't take the tour! LOL
Take a deep breath and talk to him @ home and let him know how your feelings were kind of hurt. Men handle this baby thing alot differently than we do! ~
