I'm super annoyed at DH. We talked about potential surgery dates and what would work best with his work schedule and my maternity leave. I called earlier this week and schedule surgery for the 25th. H texts me this morning that the 25th is his quarter end and asked if we can reschedule. Ummm...No
I compromised and he is going to work a few hours that morning since surgery is not until the afternoon and my mom will be here. He better be mindful of the time or I may lose my shit.

Luckily I haven't had much to complain about lately but regarding the inability to multi-task, yesterday H was holding C (his only 5 minutes holding him all day) and he asked if I could get him a piece of chocolate. When I came back, he asked if I could grab C and put him in his swing because apparently he couldn't hold him and eat the chocolate at the same time. I just laughed at him.
danib, do you contribute any of yh's behavior to working offshore? Like mh has the stewards staff to clean their rooms, make food, their beds, do their laundry, etc that they come home and forget these things get done by normal people themselves?
Yes, again danib, you said it right. H seems to forget that getting ready to go anywhere doesnt entail only getting yourself ready in 20 minutes. I am always the one to get the kids and all their stuff ready unless I ask for specific things. Can you fill the waters, can you check the diaper bag, can you change so and sos diaper. And then he gets mad when we don't leave when he wants to. Well, pitch in to get things ready without me asking!

My H does not play Pokémon go but he does play some type of game on the iPad which has a timing aspect. So I'll ask him to help with O but he can't bc he has 2 mins left of his "attack". I have fantasized about that iPad disappearing more than once...
cookswithwine9 I'm sorry you had to deal with that. My DH likes to tie one on when he gets around his cousins, sister, brother etc who he doesn't see very often. I've had to have some talks with him before the baby came that I would not tolerate it this time around. He has been really good since J has been born in that regard. But he got a little wild when we just had B. I think having two children was an eye opener for him.
To be fair he does not do this a lot! Only a few times a year... it was just crappy that it was our first Christmas with O.

MH plays games like that too. I ask him constantly how he's still playing those stupid games. Like at some point you make enough money or whatever that it's not even challenging anymore. His new game is rollercoaster tycoon that apparently just released as an app.
I don't understand gaming or phone games, but MH loves reading on his phone. He follows a ton of people on Twitter but won't create an acct so they are all aggregated..So he goes to each profile individually. I have threatened to create an account for him. He does play a MLB PlayStation game occasionally, but only when I'm not home or during zone out time.

Rollercoaster tycoon was my jam! 12 year old me is twitching to go download that.

Omg, we have one of those games too. Like he can't do anything until an attack/battle/whatever it is ends. If it's not Pokémon, it's that. I'm about to make a rule that we both put our phones away until after Lillian is asleep.
I'm bumping this now that I have an H to complain about... and I'm hoping others do too! But if not, it's ok... you can let this die, I'm just venting!
So besides the making me feel fat yesterday (midnight-ish on the Monday 1/24 thread if you want to know) H completely slept thru the night, barely moved when I got up to change and nurse L! Only woke up barely when L was crying because this baby still hates a wet diaper and to be changed out of wet diaper or changed in general (clothes, diapers, socks). Does he try to move pillows into place for nursing, nope! He watched me (albeit half asleep) struggle while holding L, moving pillows to nurse. Then he went right back to sleep! I get that due to his job, I'm self sufficient but I thought having him home meant more help!
His family is coming this weekend, and he is probably going to procrastinate cleaning until Thursday night at which point he'll complain that I'm not helping! I got 4 hours of sleep last night, and he's lounging in bed!?! So I get up to start cleaning... that was at 8am! Does he get up? Nope! Baby is asleep, I'm supposed to sleep when baby sleeps but I can't sleep knowing his family is coming and in my opinion, the house is a mess! (My mom says otherwise) Last night, any cleaning? Nope... but he changed 7 light bulbs when only 1 was out!?!
Here at 10, he's sorted laundry, doing dishes, started straightening the dining room. Then sat down to ask if I tried to wake him up last night and is that why I'm mad at him! For me, this is a no win situation... I tell him what's wrong he gets mad huffs away, I don't tell him what's wrong, he gets mad huffs away!??
