Irrational Vents

[zeewifeandmama]

Please join me...

I am so F'ing irrationally pissed that MH can SLEEP and actually REST. I am in near constant pain while sitting/standing/lying down that any relaxation is impossible! He is snoring away right now, and I just want to smother him with a pillow ( not really) just because he can sleep!

[UnderProtest]

Husbands suck. Especially their ability to sleep whenever and wherever. But seriously, can the doctor give you anything? Benadryl and ambien are safe for pregnancy.

Mine is that I'm irrationally annoyed that my husband has bad breath at night (especially after drinking). I hate it and don't want to be anywhere near him.

My H can sleep thru the baby crying. Which is good because he has to go to work. But on Mothers Day, I had to shove him awake for me to have my sleep in. If I ever leave him alone with her, I might put her in the bed with him

[SusanBAnthony]

ditto the DH stinky breath thing.

Right now I am irrationally irritated with DH was wanting to go on a walk every night. He is trying to lose weight (and succeeding!) and he does need to lose the weight, and I do WANT him. But him wanting an hour to exercise every night means more kid and household work for me.

[pierogigirl]

My husband has hardly lost an hour of sleep and we have a toddler and a baby. He has slept through a baby screaming in our room many nights. I'd actually be afraid to leave him alone with the kids overnight because he is such a sound sleeper.

[locarb]

I really hate it when H says I don't need as much sleep as him and I can function on little hrs. Or it's 8 am, let him sleep in. Really, dumbass? It's ok for me to wake up before 6 am w/ the kids and you feel 8 am isn't sleeping in.

[jinnifah]

I am irrationally irritated that dh is trying to make me enjoy sex. It's not going to happen! I'm too uncomfortable and i'm just plain tired. Give up on the foreplay buddy, stop taking your time, and finish yourself!!

He doesn't believe me when I say we'd probably do the deed more often if he just went for a quickie. I think he thinks I'm testing him. Oi, what a weird problem to have.

[karinothing]

You are all way to nice to your husbands! I go to DS first but if he won't go back down, I wake DH up and send him in. On the weekends, I go get the baby and plop him down on Dh and then say I am going back to sleep ha ha.

Can he take the kids with him in strollers or bicycles? Or can you guys make it a family thing?

Its like YES just finish already!

to pp about ambien or benedryl, they make me really foggy and yucky in the morning ( ha, I guess worse than no sleep) and since I have to still care for my toddler, thats a no go.

Can you go on a walk together? My kids love this. I am sure you have thought of this, but just thought I would throw that out there.

My bellybutton is disappearing rapidly and it's kind of freaking me out. I have to keep tucking it in so it stays an innie for a little longer.

[matildasun]

I couldn't sleep last night, and I am super unmotivated today. I should take my daughter on some kind of adventure since our days alone are numbered, but I want to nap.

Last week I felt like I could stay pregnant for a while and I would be happy. Today I am ready.

DH sleeping better than me doesn't really bother me because I need him to be my support system when I am really tired from getting up with the baby. I can't be tired and sympathetic to his plight at the same time so it is better that he be well rested, lol.

What does (irrationally) bother me about him though is the way he can just ignore toy clutter. Seeing it really stresses me out for some reason so I'm the one constantly cleaning up after them. It only takes a few minutes usually but it is still annoying.

this is what I do. Except now DD is at the age where we can turn on the tv and we can both go back to sleep. Lol

[oregonpachey]

I won't post my vent about DH because it would just get me all worked up.

We do sometimes, but it usually messes up bedtime (they are all jazzed up and dont go down as easily, so then it is sort of the same as if he went himself. And as a SAHM who has plenty of time to go to the gym during the day, I honestly don't begrudge him- like I said it is not a rational vent

Oh, that sucks about the fogginess. Tylenol pm always did that to me, but I didn't have a problem with Benadryl.

[matildasun]

For those of you with issues with Benadryl, I find that one children's chewable Benadryl helps get me to sleep, but doesn't leave me foggy. Sometimes I might take two, but in any case it is better than nothing or the grogginess that an adult one leaves me with.

This is not an irrational vent.

Hey 5dogs ;D

I totally agree with you. No need to make it a big project, y'know?

[barefootcontessa]

I am annoyed by how much time my DH spends in the bathroom. He is seriously in there for close to an hour a day when you add up the morning time then the after work time. I think he should see a doctor because I do not think it is normal. He disagrees.

DH does the same thing. I have determined that men don't know how to poop efficiently.
