And then I was super grateful that I had a breather. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dh-put-me-in-time-out-last-night#post-489353 Tue, 08 Jan 2013 16:09:31 +0000 2PeasinaPod 489353@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So glad DH put you in time out! My DH does this on occasion as well when my patience is fried with LO and he will take over telling me to go upstairs or somewhere away from him. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dh-put-me-in-time-out-last-night#post-489344 Tue, 08 Jan 2013 16:06:34 +0000 78h2o 489344@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yeah, I want a husband like yours! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dh-put-me-in-time-out-last-night#post-489316 Tue, 08 Jan 2013 15:52:54 +0000 SugarplumsMom 489316@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Awww! I read that last sentence and before the * and thought WTF then completely melted when I read the rest. Seriously one of the sweetest things EVER. I totally agree with @Brownie. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dh-put-me-in-time-out-last-night#post-489309 Tue, 08 Jan 2013 15:49:32 +0000 brownie 489309@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>You have a fantastic husband. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dh-put-me-in-time-out-last-night#post-489306 Tue, 08 Jan 2013 15:48:36 +0000 Sammyfab 489306@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Aww...hang in there mama! You DH sounds like a really awesome dad and husband. My DH tells me all the time that his #1 priority is to take care of me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dh-put-me-in-time-out-last-night#post-489237 Tue, 08 Jan 2013 15:17:18 +0000 chopsuey 489237@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH puts me in time out all the time. Hang in there! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dh-put-me-in-time-out-last-night#post-489152 Tue, 08 Jan 2013 14:49:45 +0000 MsLipGloss 489152@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>(((Hugs))) I just wanted to say that I do the exact same thing - I have such a hard time letting go, even when she's screaming in my ear and I know that my patience is waning. It's even harder now that I am back at work (LO is 17 weeks this week) to let DH help because I do feel like it's my job to soothe her and I am already not seeing her during weekdays (my MIL keeps her while I am at work). I feel so guilty for not being there 24/7. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dh-put-me-in-time-out-last-night#post-489085 Tue, 08 Jan 2013 14:28:57 +0000 Bao 489085@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Aww sorry momma. So glad DH demanded you take a break though, that is always best when our patience have reached their breaking point. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dh-put-me-in-time-out-last-night#post-489082 Tue, 08 Jan 2013 14:28:14 +0000 Mrs. Yoyo 489082@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hang in there. This happened to me a couple times, too. It's really tough with an EBF baby, since boobs tend to = soothing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dh-put-me-in-time-out-last-night#post-489075 Tue, 08 Jan 2013 14:26:15 +0000 lovehoneybee 489075@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ugh and I totally needed it. </p> <p>We had a hard time with DS last night...it took almost 3 hours to get him to sleep. He was nearly inconsolable, and my patience was frayed. I have a bad tendency to want to be completely responsible for him when he gets like that (because I have the boobs?) I finally broke and handed him over to DH and then sat on the couch and cried. I felt like such a failure of a mother. </p> <p>DH told me go lie down in our bedroom for a while. I was completely ready to argue, and then he said "please Honeybee" so I did. Laid in the bed and played poker on my phone for about half an hour until I was calm and my patience was replenished. </p> <p>When we were going to bed later on, he told me that he feels like taking care of LO is mostly my job*, and that his job is to take care of me. </p> <p>*DS is EBF on demand, and that's a big part of this statement. It makes no real difference when he's not hungry, but when he's upset he often wants to nurse for comfort. DH always takes him as soon as he gets home from work (because he misses him), and does the bulk of diaper changes at night. *I*, however, for good or bad tend to want to/try to take on 100% of the parenting when he's upset. So though DH said that, it's not completely true, and what part of it is true is my doing. </p>
