Hormonal rant at husband - beware!

January 15, 2010  

So the snow is finally going - it’s only been on the ground since December 20th - but it has been replaced by lethal black ice! It’s awful out there. I feel like I’m taking my life into my own hands every time I step out.

Life has to carry on though - as my darling husband keeps telling me. Do you know he’s just asked me to take lots of rubbish to the waste tip. Never mind that I’m due to give birth in five weeks and the weather conditions are lethal!

I’m trying not to be all “I’m pregnant” but please - a bit of consideration.

I wouldn’t mind but this is a man who if he had periods he would wear the sanitary towel on the outside so everyone could sympathise that it was his “time of the month”.

If he has a cold he has flu, phlegm on his chest is always a chest infection or pneumonia and he takes himself off to bed not just because he feels ill but he’ll have a few days up there after his bout of illness just to make sure he is sufficiently recovered. I’d love to take a leaf out of his book.

He says there is nothing stopping me - but there is my daughter and the fact that he is working really long hours at the minute.

I know I’m having a hormonal rant but I’m tired and by the time I’ve made tea and lifted up the extremely heavy Le Creuset saucepans I’m ready to climb into bed. Husband’s response - “Nobody’s asking you to do these things”.

Actually they are - the daughter needs feeding and when she’s asking for her tea and darling husband isn’t in until past bedtime again who else is going to make it?

I’m being moody I know, pregnant woman’s right I’m afraid.

I look dreadful too - thought I was supposed to bloom! My hair is awful, obviously my clothes aren’t great and I’m wobbling - I look like that family of skittles from the Noddy books.

Oh and the one nice thing the husband bought me? A facial - how nice is that? I toddled off to have it and as soon as I was lying flat on my back I felt faint  and sick so I couldn’t have it and had to have a £36 refund instead which went straight into my bank account and was spent on things for the baby - or was it on new school shoes for the daughter??
