Thats males for ya!! If only every day was like a day off. My partner wouldn't survive one day of having baby alone let alone a couple weeks....he'd be totally bald from stress!
Yes only in a fantasy world would being a full time mum be like a walk in the park. The cheek of some men!! -------------

MEN!!!
I knew what was coming from the title My DH has tried to make a few comments along those lines, but for someone that has spent maximum of an hour alone with his daughter before giving her back and needing a break???. Lets just say he got shot down pretty quick
I am not complaining though, he helps clean the house and cooks the meals on weekends so that I get a bit of a break too

Its weird, my Dh used to say those comments to me quite often (after a major hissy on my part he got the hint and hasn't said any in a while) but I do still think he thinks that I have it easy at home. BUT when he looks after even one of the girls for an hour or two he can barely even cope. He moans about how tough it is etc.
So apparently I have it easy- but if he looks after one of them for a tiny bit he has it tough?? I thought men were supposed to be logical  ------------- Jen, Charlotte 7 & Kate 3

What gets me is that I worked the same job as DH, and while we were in the UK I worked shifts as well. But still when I tell him that this is more tiring he doesn't seem to get it and thinks his job is harder than mine.
I got quite ill the last time I got mastitis and DH had Spencer for a whole morning and said to me afterwards OMG how do you ever get anything done. Is funny how quick they forget what its like. -------------

Yeah I offered for him to be SAHD as I have same earning potential as him, funny he didn't want to do it for some reason. -------------

Grr, I have a man who just doesn't get it either...
I sometimes (not often) ask him to look after Anton while I get some paperwork done, and as soon as he gets a little tiny grizzle, he gets dumped back on me saying "nothing works, he must be hungry". And DH cannot seem to remember that nappies need to be changed several times a day, not just once (and then only when I remind him). He also does no housework or cooking at the moment. They don't understand mastitis either, do they? Last time I started to get really sore boobs I went straight to lie down and rest, and he kept coming in and asking "aren't you going to finish the gardening?". Argh, don't know how I put up with him really! (just kidding, he does have one or two good points in there somewhere). ------------- Jo Jo http://lilypie.com">

My husband stopped making comments like this after the last school holidays (he's a teacher) when him and I took turns being sick, so he had all three on his own for a couple of days while I slept... since then he's realised that getting a load or two of washing done and out, keeping the children fed, watered and changed (and dry in the case of the boys who seem to gravitate towards every puddle!), making sure the boys get their sleeps as appropriate, stopping the fighting, and staying on top of the day's dishes is enough! ------------- Becca, mum of 2 girls & 3 boys |
