his mood, my problem - men!
| Wed, 02-02-2005 - 11:15am |
the phone rang this morning at 8, we were still asleep. i got up to see who it was and didn't recognize the number, then it stopped. DS was asleep in our bed, apparently each time DH tried to move him last night he woke up. i actually did sleep some last night, so i didn't notice that.
anyway, about 9 DS woke me up wanting something to drink. i dragged my sore body out of bed, got his milk, and then got his diaper changed and fresh clothes on him for the day. that's more than i usually do, at least right now with recovering from surgery on saturday. (normally i would do everything LOL)
DH just laid there in bed. when the phone had rang, he got all irritated and flopped around in bed complaining, the bed moved away from the wall (hardwood floors) so he jumped up and shoved it back in place - waking up the kid in the process. i thought OMG what is his problem? it isn't MY fault the phone rang, and it isn't that big of deal!
so after a bit, DS wanted to go to daycare. i can't lift him in and out of the car, or even drive right now. so i woke up DH to tell him DS is ready to go. he got all mad, stomping around the house, throwing things, just having an adult tantrum. he took DS to daycare, came back, then the phone rang and apparently DS threw up all over himself, but she said he doesn't *seem* sick at all and she said she'd keep him anyway. i told DH if he is sick, bring him home. he gets mad at ME, *oh yea so i can get nothing done all day and stay home to take care of a sick kid.* well, if he is sick, he can't stay there! common sense! he took clean clothes over but apparently she said he's fine and is keeping him.
he's mad because he didn't sleep well. each time he tried to move DS so we had more room (king size bed though) he woke up. THAT IS ALL!
so he is still stomping around and grumbling. i can't understand how he can have so little control over his emotions that he acts like a child, and all because he didn't SLEEP WELL??? so what??? i have a lot more going on with me and i'm not throwing a fit.
uughhh ok had to get that out. i hope he finds somewhere to go so i don't have to put up with him!

Ohh,....don't get me going on men today.
Hiya hottmama,
It sounds like your husband didn't sleep so well - with having to help your DS in the middle of the night, then the phone ringing, bed shifting - I'd probably get pissed too. While it's not fair to you for him to take it out on you I would try to lay low until he calms down and comes to his sesnes. Men can go out, work their finger to the bone and bring home the bacon, but when it comes to domestic issues - FUHGEDABOUTIT!
Early callers drives me nuts so now it's a habit to turn off my ringer and lower the volume on my answering machine before I go to bed. As for the bed, can you put some rubber under the post to keep it from sliding? I know these two things are not the main issue (it was your DH's temper) but if you can prevent some of the annoyances, your hubby (and your sanity) will benefit. I stay out of my husband's way when he gets moody - he always apologies once his mood clears. He's never had temper tantrums - but maybe that's because we try to make each others life easier when the other is having a bad day. I'm sure your DH will come around - if anything, he'll appreciate what you do A LOT more after having to help out around the house and with the baby.
Hang in there girl!

Hi Leslie
Men definately externalize their feelings while Women naturally seem to internalize.
