Guest guest Posted December 28, 2002 Report Share Posted December 28, 2002 Good luck, Sara! Here's to a good night's rest and may you finally have one. Salli Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 31, 2002 Report Share Posted December 31, 2002 Thanks, Salli. We decided Matt will sleep on the couch and I will stay in the bedroom with the boys. I'll try the scheduled awakening and that way Matt can sleep through. Then I will hand them off in the morning and sleep in. If one or both get up and won't stay in the bedroom I guess we can switch places. -Sara. who is grateful to have a husband who helps, even though she gripes about him.

Guest guest Posted December 31, 2002 Report Share Posted December 31, 2002 Glad you have a plan. But I was thinking that uninterupted sleep is much better for rest than interupted sleep followed by catch up. I only say this because when you are pregnant it is so hard to get enough rest. Would it be possible for Matt to do the night shift so you can get better rest? At least for a few days so you can recover. Jacquie H RE: *sigh* Thanks, Salli.

I think we will alternate this so we can each get some nights of good sleep. Matt really needed it last night...as did I, I know you know, but I think life is much easier for me when Matt is not being...er...grouchy. I was getting quite angry at him last night when he left me to do the bedtime routine myself with two crying babies while he played his video game. Does that make any sense, or am I just ...I don't even know how to say that. Denying my own needs to take care of his? That is not quite what I want to say but I think you'll understand what I mean... Thanks, Jacquie, and all of you. Your support is really helping me get through this. -Sara.

Guest guest Posted January 1, 2003 Report Share Posted January 1, 2003 , but I think > life is much easier for me when Matt is not being...er...grouchy. This is quite understandable! I was > getting quite angry at him last night when he left me to do the bedtime > routine myself with two crying babies while he played his video game. I would have been spitting flames if my dh did this to me for a game!! > Does that make any sense, or am I just ...I don't even know how to say that. > Denying my own needs to take care of his? That is not quite what I want to > say but I think you'll understand what I mean... I think in a way you are denying your own needs. Remember too, you are the one who is pregnant! You have more than just you to take care of right now.....besides the other two boys! Sue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh good. > I was > > getting quite angry at him last night when he left me to do the bedtime > > routine myself with two crying babies while he played his video game. > > I would have been spitting flames if my dh did this to me for a game!! Yes, well. I WAS quite angry...but I did not think there was anything I could say or do that would not make the situation even worse...:/ The last thing we needed at that point was a shouting match, you know? Talk about raw nerves! Sheesh. He has been better today, especially about helping with the boys, but he has still had his moments. As, I am sure, have I. This is NOT normal behavior for him. > > Does that make any sense, or am I just ...I don't even know how to say > that. > > Denying my own needs to take care of his?

It is much appreciated. -Sara. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
