thought I'd jump on quickly and say hello before xmas as I have all of DH family arriving this afternoon, some staying for a week so I probably wont get the chance to log on again for a while.
Stevie, glad things seem to be getting better for you with DH silly that it took DTD to settle him down though! Men Hopefully he becomes more involved with DD and stops taking nana naps in the lounge! Some one on one time for them is a must, I too have to force DH to do it sometimes. It's not that he doesn't love her or enjoy looking after her he just doesn't think that maybe he should pick her up and talk to her or give her cuddles or whatever. Sometimes I wonder what goes on in a man's mind - I'd say a lot of the time NOT MUCH!
LJ sounds like more frustrating times for you with DH. It sucks that they think they are entitled to 'breaks' and 'holidays' agree with you that as a mum we NEVER get a break and it can be utterly exhausting. You are not superwoman so please don't try to be! Maybe just try talking to him gently and explaining that you are really tired, that you never get a break and if he could pitch in and share some of the load then it would be much appreciated. Sometimes men don't get things until they are explained to them in plain simple language - as with my reply to Stevie, sometimes they just don't think!
On the topic of DH well I think mine tops all of yours for his comment yesterday about my weight - yep, he pretty much told me I was fat Bit of background, I have never been overweight and have always been very fit and athletic. I'm about 170cm and prepreg was about 60kg. I'm now about 68kg.... yep, still got a bit to lose! We were talking about another couple we know where one of them is pretty buffed and the other not buffed at all and DH said to me, not to worry that he wouldn't get too buffed. I said, what do you mean? He said, well I don't want to make you feel bad. Sorry, I said, I don't get you. So he said... well now that you're a real chubba I don't want to get too buffed and make you feel bad! WTF!!!! He wasn't even joking, he was just being really matter of fact about it. He still doesn't even understand why I am upset as to him he was simply stating the facts. I said, I've just had a baby you idiot!!!!!! Way to make me feel good. I was trying not to even think about my weight at the moment as I really tried to take it easy for the first 6 weeks seeing as I had a c-section so have not gotten back into exercise yet. As I've said above, men really don't think sometimes!
Hi Boobma, Rach x2, DM, Jellybean (you've been MIA!), Tammie, Shades and everyone else.
just a quick reply to you fi (while im on here.. i have to bave the freakin shops AGAIN today, yesterday id taken ages to get organised and had left Ali with MIL for over 3 hours, i still wasnt finished but i started getting a bit anxious coz i had been away from her for so long )
anyway... DH calls me fat all the time, im his "little fatty" i know its not really ment to be nasty, when i first met DH i was 47kgs.. i was smoking cigerettes, and not eating properly so naturally i was very thin, over the 3 years we were together id fluctuat anywhere from 50 - 53kgs 2 weeks before i had Ali i weighed myself and i was 72kgs
3 weeks after i had her i weighed myself and i was 63kgs, i was really upset coz i didnt think id kept so much weight, last week i weighed again and i was 58 i happily text DH telling him i was 4kgs off pre pg and he's like "you still have heaps to loose..." i was soo mad yes i will be loosing more than the 4 (coz even at 54 i was still carrying around muffin tops >.<) but geez.. he could be more supportive, he weighs 113kg (he's a very solid bloke) he's gettin a bit fat now but he truelly is big boned lol (anyone that has FB will see what i mean )
Fi, dont listen to your DH, they have no idea how hard it is to have a baby, let alone being pregnant and then practically doing all the work after its here. i realise they have to work, but they forget that babies are FULLTIME work, it never stops...
Fi - sweety you are in no way overweight. Tell your DH to go jump into a lake, grrr. I think its cause they see all these celebs losing the weight straight away, so therfore so should we. But silly men seem to forget they they are paying alot of $$$ for a personal trainer. I hope he has had time to think about what he said, and why you were upset .
And it was great meeting you the other day. Leila is so cute! she was just having one of those days, hehe we had one yesterday
Stevie and LJ - bloody men grrrrrr. Hope you girls are ok today.
Rach - I have like the little Brauer gift pack, colic, stomach, teething and nappy rash. All 3 oral liquids say infants under 6mths 1ml on them. So not sure which one you were looking at??
A big to everyone else
