Dear DH... a pregnant woman's rant...
I totally appreciate you taking the week off to spend with your dear daughter, and do stuff around the house. However, doing stuff around the house, in my opinion, means cleaning, not leaving pots on the stove, dishes in the sink, wrinkled clothes left in the dryer, dogs water bowl dry, a half gallon of milk out on the counter for hours, plates of macaroni and cheese half eaten on the counter top, anything not perishable on the counter from todays trip to the supermarket (which you forgot the one thing I asked for AND the diapers), and nothing done around the house since Monday. That includes washing dear son's camp clothes, weeding out the yard as promised, or anything else. I do appreciate the hour you spent at the auto glass store replacing my windshield, but you were home by 10am.
I do understand how hard it was being a "mom" today, and running around with a four year old all day long,a four year old who brushes her own teeth, dresses herself, knows how to navigate a remote, spends 3/4's of the day coloring and drawing and has the vocabulary of a ninth grader. And I know you are tired, but please do not take naps from 4-6:30pm with our dear daughter to get " your energy back". Napping a four year old who normally does not nap has caused this 6 month pregnant, full time employed mother of 2 to be up with her 4 year old daughter until 11:30pm.
I would not mind 1/4 as much if, when I got home, you got up and cleaned up your mess, but instead, you let her sleep and stated, in your half asleep state of mind, "We are on vacation...". I AM NOT. I would not mind the mess half as much if you chose to clean up your mess instead of watching the Mets game, alone, as I chased our two year old, and then took a shower to play pool with your friends. After all, you are on vacation and I am the one always asking why you don't go out to see them more.
All I know is that when I get home tonight (at 10:00pm as I have a 6:00pm dinner with clients), your a** better have made my kitchen shine. Our children's laundry better be folded and in their drawers. My dogs better not be panting. And if they are still up... they are alllllll yours.
Signed,
Fat, pregnant, sweaty, tired, hormonal, sore, waddling and disgruntled wife.
HAPPY WEDNESDAY!

Re: Dear DH... a pregnant woman's rant...
Well he is still alive, but I can not wait to have control back as of tomorrow night. NOTHING on the honey do list with the exception of the car windshield was done. I think we get along as well as we do is because he works nights and I work days, and we really do miss each other. The house did improve slightly, but not by much.
I realize I had a similar rant when I was pregnant with my son... He just doesn't get it?
He is so lucky that I love him...
