husbands!!!

My husband works the grave yard shift he comes home complaining how tired he is. I say I am too. The response is "you slept all night and you don't do anything. Stop saying your tired." One, I did not sleep much because Im up every hr or 2 to pee and I can't get comfortable. Two, I'm growing a flippin human!! Three, stop complaining because you will be tired for years until she moves out... maybe...

Am I just having a prego moment or no?

I'm the one who works the night shift in this household - and the pregnant one. My partner works all day, I work all night, and we have a 3-year-old. I sleep maybe 5 hours after getting home from work before I have to pick up the kiddo at preschool, come home and not only take care of my portion of the household tasks but also prepare for our wedding at the end of the month.

Everyone is tired. Give him a break. He's supporting his family by working in direct opposition to what his body tells him he should be doing. Night shift *****. It's not the same as getting up to pee.

My hubby complains, but he works a very physically taxing job & already has back problems-so he's always in pain, but he recognizes that not only do I also work 30+hours per week but I come home & make dinner every night & Keep the house clean too-not to mention being 6 months pregnant with his son-lol. He's understanding when I need a relax day-but I do wish he helped out around the house more. It wouldn't bother me so much if I didn't also have a 39yo roommate that I end up cooking & cleaning For him too-with little to no thanks. If I ask my hubby to help with things, he does-I just wish he would get in the mindset of "oh look, dirty dishes. I should do those now." And I wish me asking my roommate for help got me anywhere at all. His days living with us are numbered though, that's for damn sure!

Well suggestion maybe just have a little compassion for him. He will never understand how you feel but you can understand how he feels. Maybe when he says I'm so tired, just say awe is there anything I can do hun, maybe make him a nice meal ask him how good day went and then just in the conversation mention how this pregnancy wears you out, how you wish you could work that you are so tired for no reason and feel like crap from bringing any money. I mean just a suggestion that's what I do and he tells me no honey you do do much in the house, you cook and clean, take care of the puppies and growing a baby. That is a lot of work. Men are babies they need tip be comforted and told how much they are appreciated for their hard work and hour we wouldn't be able to make it without them. Lol

My husband does too, and we work opposites schedules so it *****. But I must say I love having the bed to my self. But I do come home from work to making dinner to cleaning up but this is my first, and I was surprised how quick I get tired.

I know how you feel. I have a 3yr old and a stay home wife and my husband works 10-12hrs every day!  I am sympathetic towards him bc understand he wking to provide for us.  But men don't realize the troll pregnancy puts on the body! I cook,  clean,  and entertain 3yr old. I'm always feeling tired and sore,  even though i get to stay at home to rest and sometimes nap if I'm lucky!! I stay up half the night with heart burn or my baby kicking n moving in my tummy(night owl). On top of that i wake up every 2-4hrs to pee or drink water because thirsty.  One thing i do is i let him take a nap if he asks and always have food or dessert ready when he gets hm and ask him how was his day and greet him with a hug and kiss!!
