Self-indulgent whinge, sorry
Grr, I'm bloody annoyed at my DH this weekend. I really wanted to go to a (formal) university reunion but as I'm bf and Lily won't take a bottle it would have involved him coming along too and keeping her occupied for a few hours whilst I had dinner. I suggested making a weekend of it - staying in a B&B etc - and made it clear I wouldn't be out partying all night or anything - I just wanted to have dinner with everyone. Suggestion was met with a shrug and a sulky look so I didn't mention it again, hoping he'd go away and realise that he was being an arse. Sadly this was not to be. You wouldn't think a few hours alone in the town we both went to university in so that I could have a bit of me time would kill him, would you? I haven't had a single night out since Lily was born 11 weeks ago, because I haven't wanted to - the one time I do and he won't put himself out for me.
He's going away with the lads for a long weekend in May - guess who's driving him to the airport, looking after the baby for the weekend & picking him up? The thing that REALLY annoys me about this isn't the unfairness of him getting to do his thing and me not getting do to mine - it's that my first thought was "he'll enjoy that and he deserves to go" - HIS first thought was "what a hassle for me" :x
Don't get me wrong, my DH is a good boy and a brilliant Daddy, but he definitely does have his head up his own arse sometimes :evil:

My oh thinks nothing of going away for a weekend without me or Gabe and doesn't even ask my plans....
I have to say, having Gabe has taught me that a woman doesn't have to be single to be 'left holding the baby'... Gah.

I was so irritated last night that after I gave Lily her dream feed at 11.30pm I woke him up (the poor lamb is very tired lately because his sleep is broken due to night feeds - the night feeds that I get up to do, that is :roll: ) and discussed it with him. He was very reasonable and apologetic so I've forgiven him.
He's also shown me some support by making me express a few times today so that he can keep trying to get Lily to take a bottle (before this he only tried when I sat him down and put it into his hand). And guess what - this afternoon she took one! It was only 2oz as that was all I had expressed, but she definitely got the hang of it (after poor DH had to put up with her yelling at him for 15 mins).
Part of me feels liberated - now I know I can go out!! - but I also feel a little bit sad as she doesn't "need" me anymore

I was feeling kind last night though. I had arrangements to go see a folk band with a friend i hadnt seen for 14 years, and as OH had to be up the following day at 5am for work, I arranged for me and LO to stay at my moms for the night. Main reasons were a) venue was closer to my moms than home, b) i was planning on having a drink or 6. I could have a lie in (first all week) and my mom woould look after LO til i got up. Bless, he was so upset to say goodnight and goodbye to LO so iv been told.
Think all men have their days LOL
