Here have a big big big birthday
It must have been nice to have your parents over on your birthday, especially as your DH made such a pickle of the night!
I'm so with you on the "cant be bothered attitude" We know they work hard, and appreciate it, but honestly how long does it take to wrap some paper around a package and put two bits of tape? Even with the card thing, dont bother going to a shop to look for read and choose one, just make one, draw a funny picture and some sentimental words would go such a long way! There's absolutely no excuse for not even getting a take out and eating it with you first before checking in on e-mails. Not like your asking him to do it all year round, just on occasions like birthday,ani's.
My DH has to finish off the painting in the nursery, it's only been 3 wks since we started it, I cant paint because of the fumes, although it is amazing how he finds time at night to have a go on his playstation!
And, of course we dont get tired, after all we are superwomen and never need to rest!
I'm glad your DH will be grounded from January onwards, at least that will give you piece of mind knowing that he wont be away during the birth. DH has booked his late summer holiday starting tonight for 2 wks followed by 2 wks paternity leave, but his boss rang him and asked if he would be starting his holiday after this weekend or waiting until the arrival is here, then DH said it was ok to work up until I deliver, which is fine but I didnt like it too much that he didnt ask me first, he even talked about if I get my VBAC I should be able to drive a few days later so would I mind him going back to work as he had a rush job on ?
d I said dont let me hold you back, I'll let you know when to come to the hospital when I'm in Stage 2 labour then you can go back to work and finish off for the day afterwards! and I will of course try not to end up with a C-section just so you dont have to take the time off work!
I so hate the " I'll do it now and just apologise later" thing. To me an apology is only valid when they genuinely didnt mean to do it, or it was done purely accidentally.
I knew the due date for your baby was soon, how are you feeling about it? I cant imagine but it's got to be difficult especially with also being pg again, please have these
from me, I will be thinking about you on saturday.
Luke I hope you get loads of gifts and have a great day with your mummy, daddy & Auntie
