Becs and Lilmiss - you are both absolutely right. I am normally a strong and independent woman, who actually earns twice as much as DH and is the career focussed one of the two of us. However, how does one get a man to be sensitive and empathetic when he is a bit of a child himself? He can't nurture ME when he is so busy trying to get me to nurture HIM. I push back, I really do, and when my mum tells me off for doing too much he is the first to jump in and say that he tries to tell me that. But really, he is the first to huff and puff when I say I need to put my feet up (my badly swollen oedema tree-trunks) and I just feel so guilty and lazy. I am conscious though of my baby and that he (bub) comes first despite my slightly immature and self-absorbed husband.

So anyway, I am off to bed while he continues to pack. What a bad wife I am!
