Maybe he doesn't realize how tired you are? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/somedays-i-wish-i-could-be-a-sahm#post-496111 Thu, 10 Jan 2013 21:17:43 +0000 Bao 496111@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@septemberlove: oh no :( I'm sorry, hopefully he starts to pull his weight when LO arrives! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/somedays-i-wish-i-could-be-a-sahm#post-496097 Thu, 10 Jan 2013 21:15:49 +0000 mrs. wagon 496097@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@blackbird: I'm the same way. If Wagon Sr. doesn't pull his own weight it's cause for a gigantor all-night knock-down blow-out fight. This is another reason why we're all much happier with me as a working mom. It took a LONG time as a sahm to figure out what should be done during the day while I was home and what should be done together after the baby went to bed. Now we both work all day, and after the kids go to bed we both work like crazy together, side by side, to get everything done so we can both veg out for the rest of the night. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/somedays-i-wish-i-could-be-a-sahm#post-496034 Thu, 10 Jan 2013 21:09:45 +0000 blackbird 496034@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ugh that is not ok. Nobody gets to supervise. That wouldn't fly with me! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/somedays-i-wish-i-could-be-a-sahm#post-495994 Thu, 10 Jan 2013 21:06:35 +0000 T-Mom 495994@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I totally feel you... I had a day like that too and it took everything I had not to shoot daggers at DH with my eyes in front of DD as we were eating. I hope your DH changes when your LO comes! Maybe have a nice talk when you are a little less mad about expectations and dividing up duties when LO is here. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/somedays-i-wish-i-could-be-a-sahm#post-495094 Thu, 10 Jan 2013 19:16:49 +0000 sorrycharlie 495094@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ugh! I feel your pain, and I'm not even working! I stay with LO and if I ask my husband for the tiniest bit of help, he huffs and complains. Extremely annoying!</p> <p>I asked him to watch LO so I can postathon and he went upstairs, laid on the bed &amp; played on his phone &gt;&lt; </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/somedays-i-wish-i-could-be-a-sahm#post-495075 Thu, 10 Jan 2013 19:14:24 +0000 lomom 495075@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>On days like these, I wish I could be a SAHM. I'm still pregnant, with our first child and holy cow I'm exhausted. I worked a 10 hour day then came home to the house a wreck and DH chilling in the living room. I threw together a sandwich, sat for a few minutes, and then unloaded and reloaded the dishwasher, swapped clothes from the washer to dryer, swept, and mopped. </p> <p>DH supervised. After working an 8 hour day. FML. </p> <p>I hope he helps more with LO. </p>
