Dear H, you are not allowed to say you are "exhausted"

[sunshineluv]

Haha, funny you say this. Tonight DH is nauseas. I have a hard time mustering up any sympathy. Try dealing with it daily for 11 weeks!!

But I will give him credit, he hasn't been whiney about it at all.

[TrudyCampbell]

This is an actual rule in my home. NO COMPLAINING ABOUT EXHAUSTION until April 2014.

ETA except if you are me. I am allowed to complain as much as I want.

[TrudyCampbell]

My husband was "sooo nauseous" the other day so he got pinkberry, ate pizza, then ate ice cream, then potato chips.

Cry me a fucking river.

[carawestt]

My H knows better.

TrudyCampbell men have no idea what nausea is. If you can eat pizza, you're not nauseous.

[skiesthelimit]

Remember when my DH had to sleep for a day because he had blood taken?

I had 3 blood tests in 3 days, I'm BFing, and pregnant (with maybe twins) and he had the nerve to tell me he was tired yesterday and went to bed at 7. WTF?!

[creamsiclechica]

Oh silly husbands!! It's hilarious the things they say.

[Deleted]

My DH was complaining the other day how sore he was from sleeping on his side the wrong way.
Right... Try sleeping with a bowling ball connected to your bladder and stomach.

[creamsiclechica]

Matt lets me get away with a LOT of justified complaining. As he should. But I'm at a disadvantage with him because when I start listing things like do you know how TIRED I AM, I HAVEN'T SLEPT IN DAYS, he kind of looks at me and laughs, because sometimes, deployment still trumps pregnancy, lol. I can't even be like do you know how hard it is to carry 40 extra pounds? Well, I can and I do, but it is kind of hilarious to say to him, because he does know, haha. He's even better than me because he never even complains. I'm milking this misery for all it's worth!

I beg to differ! I am nauseous pretty much all the time but I are three slices of pizza for dinner last night!

[TrudyCampbell]

I will say, however, that despite all of the awfulness I am glad to be pregnant instead of my husband. Can you even fathom the levels of complaining? I'd rather actually vomit than listen to him complain for 9 months.

Well, you're a weirdo haha. I can go nowhere near grease when I'm nauseous.

[laurack]

When my h is feeling anything it's the worst ever. A cold is likely the flu. Nauseous? Probably a terrible stomach bug. Tired? Coming down with something for sure.

Oh men. They could SO not handle pregnancy ( nor would I want to listen to a man dealing with pregnancy, yikes)

Haha, I am glad you said this. I was thinking it. I sometime want the weirdest things even while nauseas. I think pregnancy nausea is way different than non pregnancy nausea. 

But I will be honest, if dh were complaining of a stomach ache and then ate pizza I would roll my eyes at him.

Seriously! DH fully admits it too, he says there is no way I can whine more than he would if our roles were reversed. 

[creamsiclechica]

Well, that is true.. He can last on top of a mountain with no food for days, but if he gets sick here at home, it's like he's on his death bed. He can't get even get himself medicine out of the bottle or a glass of water without moaning. And he seems to require 80 hours of sleep.

Just like he somehow forgets to pack anything but underwear and undershirts for trips when I'm around.

I couldn't handle him pregnant. We'd divorce, lol.

[thedahliharpa]

TrudyCampbell is in fine form in this thread!

[kdrake8]

My husband's clothes "don't fit" and he is"fat". Yep.

[teamhayes]

My husband got bit by a bug over the weekend and went to the dr on wed. End of story. Wimp.

But, but, but, his extra 40 pounds are in bags and stuff, specifically made to carry in the most comfortable way possible. Yeah, it sucks, but he's not carrying it on the front of his abdomen in a sack made out of his own skin.

(Thanks for all you do, Matt!)

It just gets worse... My h talks about how tired he is, when he sleeps in the other room with Elias through the night and I'm up with twins every 2 hours by myself. I might punch him.

Mine also complains about his back hurting. Just shut the fuck up.
