irritating spouse rant

Sorry but I just need to let it out amongst people who understand right now. I'm 28 weeks and have a UTI and so i'm hurting right now on top of being exhausted all the time. We just moved into a house last week and things are not done yet and now my husband wants his family to come over tomorrow so we can entertain them for dinner. His mother is going to make comments about the house not being done yet because that's how she is and I have to clean up as much as I can tomorrow before they come on top of cooking and he wants me to bake a cake as well, are you kidding me!? I'm seven months pregnant I shouldn't have to be doing all this myself as bad as i'm feeling. Sorry ladies I just don't have anyone to talk to right now

My hubby will make himself food and never offer me any if I don't cook myself but will throw a fit if I make myself something and not him. He will wash his own clothes but won't wash mine or my daughters. I have to beg him just to clean the cat box. I'm like if I'm the one who cleans your pee off the toilet, the least you can do is scoop the darn poop! Lazy men.

Men are ******* stupid and careless when it comes to pregnant women.  I hope the all come back as women who have more than 4 children each by 4 different men who treat them like ****.

This would be my plan: buy the cake, and dinner. Invite the MIL over to help me clean up and setup the house. Telling her how helpful it would be to get help. My husband is wanting me to host dinner this weekend for his dads birthday and that's my

He isn't helping with this because he says he works all day to take care of us. I had to stop working because I was having trouble so he says he does his part by being the only one working right now. Seriously?

they don't understand. My hubby expects me to cook and clean too but guess what?! I don't if I don't feel like it. Does he do it? no. Im only one person and could do so much but how I see it, it is not the 1950s if they want it done tell them "by all means your not broken" lol seriously! don't feel bad your not alone. Your body is exhausted don't feel like you have to wear yourself out to please everyone else. Your not a bad person for needing all the rest you could get.

Does he have a reason that he can't cook? Maybe he could bbq or something easy. Besides the UTI, you're pregnant. He's not. I guess I've been lucky, because my husband works and cooks for the most part, unless he's tired. I think he does it because I've remained very active during my pregnancy and kept up with myself.... and he's a much better cook. lol

I wouldn't cook. He'll have to understand your tired and with a UTI it's not the week for company. Resting your body is most important. Whoever doesn't understand; I'm sorry for them. Not your problem

Have to separate myself from him because I dont wanna snap on him... I'm 9 months and still expects me to cook everyday which is tiresome because I still work... He acts like if I don't do it then it can't be done and he'll sit there hungry while I'm at work if I didn't cook before I left... Idk what is wrong with these men. But I love him...

:( that's really unfair of your husband. I mean I'm sure he's not a bad guy, but bake a freakin cake? Really? I'd say that obviously they are coming regardless, but do only what you want/feel up to. If that means not really cleaning much, and picking up dinner, or the cake at the store then DO IT! And if you MIL makes comments about the house, so what, tell her where you keep the broom and tell herto get bbusy. Get a good night sleep and just keep telling yourself its just one night, and then it will be over. Good luck girl!
