| You have every right to be mad sweet i know i would be, men just dont understand that looking after a baby is a 24/7 job. maybe you can sit him down and explain how you feel. i know i would be upset if my OH went out partying rather then spending time with his family if he didnt get to see us much.
good luck xx |

I'm Currently Feeling: | i feel the same way. DH complains if I hand Bren off when he finishes work cause he needs a break. he flew back last night from a business trip, came to bed at 130, so when Bren woke at 630, i took him out of the room. so at 8 i went back in and asked him to get up as I have been on my own all week. I get 'I didn't get to bed till 130' and he fucking rolls over! BFD, I did notice that he could get his laptop out before coming to bed to play his stupid game, so he cant have been all that tired. Plus he has had 3 baby free nights in a hotel room!!!
So yes, you should be pissed!!! |

I'm Currently Feeling: | Yup, i'd be pissed off too. Being a full-time mum can be so stressing, you deserve at night off, he should have been pushing you out the door to enjoy yourself. |

I'm Currently Feeling: | Men.. pfft. My other half can be the same way at times. When I complain and make comment about how I am tired and whatnot, I get.." Well, that's what mom's do. They can be on the go constantly and still function when sleep deprived." Oh really, that's because we HAVE to, not because we want to! So infuriating. |
