Too late for a Bitchfest?

A major Highway that I use to get back and forth to work is undergoing a major renovation. It took me 3x as long to get home as it normally would. I'm glad I figured that out before I actually go back to work, today I was just showing off LO. Now I have to find a whole new route to work -_-

Another spectacular husband over here. Mine has apparently decided that I don't want any kind of attention at all if I'm on pelvic rest. Hugs and kisses? Cuddling? Nah, surely I wouldn't want any of that comforting nonsense if I can't get laid. Thanks, asshat.

The baby had been fussy all day. I'm hoping it is his 6 week growth spurt and not the new normal. Anyway, I went to bed around 9:30. At 12 I wake up to him fussing again. So I picked him up, soothed him, got him back to sleep and one of the cats decided to play right next to his crib. So I started over, got him asleep and another cat came in and did the exact same thing. I started over, got him to sleep, got into bed, slept for half an hour and then got woken up for his 1:30 feeding and now we are wide awake again. It's going to be a long night.

Another bitch about a DH: I realize you work all day, but so do I (and all night!), especially with LO hardly napping. You come home, hold LO for a bit, then lay on the couch and play on your phone while watching tv, while I do the bath, feeding, and bedtime routine. Could you at least clean up the bathroom or wash a few dishes while I'm doing all of that? It's so frustrating to finally get LO to bed and have to clean everything up, then pump for the thousandth time that day. By the time I'm done, I have to go to bed because I'll need to be up in a few hours for MOTN feedings while you sleep the whole night. Just a little help so I could have 20 minutes to relax would be nice. Also, some recognition for all I do?

I'm exhausted. I was getting used to this mommy routine. Now I have to get used to it while working 40 hours a week. This is hard. Also SO is getting on my nerves. He Bought a 70 inch tv the other day, put it up and the side of it ended up being bent up and so he had to take it back. He told me that night that he just was gonna get a refund because he felt like we could use the $1500 on something else. Well he took the tv back tonight and got a new one. Um ok?
And I feel like a bad mom but I am so sick of not being able to put LO down. Everytime I put her down she starts crying. Tonight SO has been gone, so I've had no help. So I'm starving, haven't had a shower or anything. I just wanna be able to do something for 5 minutes!
I obviously needed to bitch, thank you. Lol

Let's send the SOs somewhere. You and I could help each other!

Uh yeah another DH. I had first 'shift' for sleeping which is supposed to be about 10 pm to 2 am. Well I didn't end up being able to go to bed til after 11 cause the babies weren't falling asleep and I was the only one doing bedtime (in his defense, he was working on hw for his MBA program). I finally go to bed and not even 1.5 hrs later he comes in the room with a crying baby saying he's so tired and doesn't know what to do. He's just letting her cry so I tell him to get her a bottle and I feed her while he sits and complains about how tired he is. So I decide to just take over and go downstairs with the girls. He's all 'are you mad at me'?
Then I go upstairs to get a bottle for our other twin and he has left my pump parts on the counter (I refrigerate them at night so there's less constant washing). Grr! I know I've specifically asked him not to do that. I am constantly washing dishes and that does not help.

I'm fairly convinced that we have married the same person.

At least if he was living a double life, that would account for why he is "so tired"!!!

I think we've married the same guy. My DH does EXACTLY this. Every. Fucking. Day. If I ask you to hold LO, it's so you can bond with your son, not so you can just stick him in his swing.

Edit: apparently I'm the third wife Haha

One of my good friends' baby is in the hospital as of yesterday (it was very sudden). Several people who are acquaintances are contacting me asking for her phone number so they can call her. When I told them I don't feel comfortable giving out her # they got huffy mad at me. 1. You are friends with her on Facebook, you can ask her 2. She is stingy with her phone number anyways and doesn't like people having it 3. She isn't responding to any calls or texts anyways at the time

I hope this isn't bitchy of me. I don't want her to have handfuls of missed calls/texts from people she doesn't know and then get upset when she finds out I was passing her number out like free food.

That's not bitchy at all. As someone just in the hospital with her baby, I wouldn't want someone passing out all of my info, especially during such s stressful time. I hope the baby is ok.

@kelsz12 Your friend will thank you. Forget the others. I hope all is well with your friend and baby.
