Thought I might as well pop over here as I seem to have graduated from the pregnancy thread. Liam is 9 days old today!

Anyway, here is the little man:

NMS - he is a proper cutie! Benjamin has that bouncy chair - it is funny that one day they just notice the teddys, then they start to bash them, then grab hold of them...

...now Benjamin pulls one off, uses it to beat up the other two and then chucks it across the room :rotfl:

I am going to miss those teddies



Kitten - nice!!!!



Buttons - get the buggy out and b00ger off out for an hour. Will do you good.

Nah - he is bl00dy annoying, talks too loudly, far too yorkshire to be sexy and he uses too much butter in everything.



Alan Davies for me - cute and funny I keep telling hubby that he is my 'one' that I couldn't say no to (everyone has one)...

:eek:too yok-shur, too much butter??? you're crazy lady
Alan davies is a big fat no for me, he has a lisp - totally un sexy he is funny tho.
I don't think I could say no to Alan Shearer :happyhear

My friend went to great lengths to describe her 'celebrity boyfriend' once - I think her rule was that they needed to be slightly attainable, so she went for Craig Doyle. Couldn't see it myself.

What a lovely baby Liam is!

Talking of AF's (which someone was) I'm on my 2nd since giving birth 5 months ago and it's v heavy (much more so that before) and I feel much greasier/sweatier than before. Hope this isn't the future.

mmm craig doyle IS nice, classic talk dark n handsome, nice accent too

Thanks for welcomes

MFD - that sounds so cute, lol!
Buttons - I know I'm a newbie, but you sound like your really going through it. I echo what MFD has said, go off somewhere and take and hour out to yourself

As usual he won't listen, he's now half asleep on the sofa after telling me, I must have my periods, he's ignored Keira as all he wants to do is sleep, and told me that he does most of the cleaning. What a joke. He wouldn't know what the hoover was if it slapped him in his big fat stupid head.

I'm boiling with rage. Best thing for him to do is clear off, but he never would. Might just smash his PS3 up. Tired of it all, tired of him making out like he does everything aswell, the only thing he lifts is his ps3 controller.

button heres what you do the next time he ignores you and hes not near his beloved PS3 ... format the harddrive wipe everything ... then give him the hoover and say ive learnt to use your toys now you learn to use mine :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:x

EDIT: always NMS very adorable little one you have there x

BM - we had a similar argument here about a month or so. I think the trouble is that all the jobs we do around the house are things that men don't notice. They don't realise that the bins aren't as full as they were, the washing basket is empty (or at least less full than it was), the kitchen floor is clean, and that you have also spent at least 1.5 hours getting food ready and feeding the baby, probably about half an hour in total changing the baby and (guess what) you actually spend some time interacting with baby too

I know my DH does things I don't notice for the same reasons - if they don't need doing they don't jump out at you if you see what I mean?

Of course all the othe men with kids & wives at home that DH knows live in immaculate houses, and I am showing him up - he is a laughing stock with all his friends, his family and mine. :rotfl: (I'm not sure what these women his friends are married to are taking, but I want some of it - or maybe they are all having it off with the manager of a cleaning firm on the side )

When it all blew over and we actually talked about stuff properly (which hopefuly you can do later/tomorrow when your heads are both a bit clearer!) it turned out he was also cross about not getting as much time with the baby as me. (Which annoyed me, as he spends a lot of his time when he isn't at work either in the pub or playing on the ps)

A few things I've/we've done in the last month which seem to be making things easier:
-got my mum to give me a hand getting the LR sorted (my DH is far less grumpy is the lr is tidy - I'm the only one who cares if the rest of the house is messy or even unhygenic). As I'm going back to work soon, she has also been looking after Izzy for a morning (or so) a week. This helps to get Izzy used to me not being there, and also gives me a chance to get stuff done. I don't know if your mum/sister is local (or could you ask your MIL, depending on what kind of relationship you have with her?)?
-get him to play with the baby when he gets in rather than playing games. That way I can get some stuff done with my hands free, and she gets some quality time with him.
- he has the choice of bathing her or doing a job that needs doing
- he always has to watch the simpsons, so I try and think of a quick job he can do while the adverts are on in the middle :rotfl: (if you are sneaky, you can make it a bigger job that he can stop half way through and come back to, then he has to finish it after the episode is over)
- as part of his saturday routine (which can't ever be changed ever or the world will come to an end ) he has to go to the pub, so I get him to take Izzy with him. That way he doesn't spend as much money or drink as much (he wouldn't agree to drinking nothing, but does stick to 1 pint, which I can live with). Sometimes I go too, and sometimes I use the time to nap or push the hoover round.
- He calls me quite often during the day, so I make a point of listing to him exactly what I've been doing, and if it has taken me an hour to get Izzy down for a nap, I make sure he knows it. I try not to make it sound like I'm moaning, just make it matter of fact, so when he asks how Izzy is doing I give him all the details of what we have been up to, plus tell him what housework I've got done too. That way he knows I've done all those jobs men don't notice, and has some idea of how busy I have been all day, which is where we came in I think.

Not that everything is perfect now by any stretch of the imagination, but it is a lot better than it was. Untel the next row I expect, but such is life

It sounds like you (and probably him!) need to cool down before you will be able to have a rational conversation about this. (Not having a go, just sounds like you are very :mad:, so if you are anything like me, anything you try and say will come out wrong, and anything he says will make you even crosser ) Can you take your book off into a relaxing bubble bath or something after baby is in bed tonight?
