No wonder Bumpies are so effed up

Seriously?

Re: No wonder Bumpies are so effed up

  • I haven't read the article, but I remember at least one night after Will stopped sleeping through the night when I was nursing him or pumping or something and Lorne was laying there all asleep and peaceful looking and I just wanted to kick him.

    image

  • My rage induced moments were always in the middle of the night when he was sleeping and I was not.
  • Something about that picture and the "why you hate your husband" is cracking me up. 

    Obviously the article states:
    - Because he is helpless and can't do anything
    - Because he will roll over and crush your child at night
    - Because he wants to molest your child
    - Because his lack of vagina prevents him from having any parental instincts

  • I laugh every time I see that picture.  The husband looks like he's plotting to kill her.
  • Kay, I read his expression differently.  To me, it says, "biitch, you crazy.  How'my gonna get out of this situation with all my limbs intact?"

  • It kind of looks like he just farted. And it stank.

    For less then ten cents a day, you can feed a hungry child.
  • I also read his look as "Uh oh, NOW what did I do?"
  • I like to imagine he is holding something really random and objectionable in his hands, like some super foul porn, or a whole roasted pig on a spit, or a monkey in a diaper.
    image
  • You guys are all wrong.  She caught him masturbating and that's why she's pissed because he is wasting his sperm.

  • I would be making almost the exact opposite face if my husband was holding a monkey in a diaper.

  • his face to me looks like "I'm about to put this plastic bag over your head and squeeze."

    I've had a couple of moments when I'm up and waddling to the bathroom for the third time in a few hours and J is just snoring away peacefully where I've thought that it would be fun to put his hand in warm water or something, but I'm sure the full-on hate will come after Pickle's here.  Maybe I should start practicing now because I think he's pretty damn awesome and it might take some time adjusting to hating him.

    Not if you were a new mother!

    A)  It will give the baby Ebola

    2)  The baby will see its nipples and develop nipple confusion

    Bubbles)  Husband chose to dress it in a brightly colored cloth diaper, ruining any chances you had at instilling a proper sense of piety and modesty in that monkey.

    Head in the game, SB, come on.

  • Did this replace Crotch Care 101?

    Sebastian has always been good about helping in the middle of the night. I did have a few hateful moments related to whining about "when do I get to ride my biiiiiiiike?"

    image Guess who?

     That was not a real topic, was it?  One never knows with the Bump.

  • I read Crotch Care 101, in an attempt to brace myself for what's in store.

  • Stupid Bump, I hate him now and I don't even HAVE a baby yet.  I've always hated him.  Way to understand marriage, Bump!

    It was indeed. The main topic, in fact. With cutesy cursive light blue font and everything.

  • I definitely had hating moments. Definitely.

    But did they include the lump swallowing "awww" moments when he sings to her late at night or tells her about all the places he's going to take her? Or the times when he dons the tiny toddler sized apron and makes cookies with her in her kitchen? No? Because those erase the hating moments for the most part.

  • crap!  I missed Crotch Care. Now I'm doomed to an uncared for crotch.  Can anyone bring me up to speed?

    This article is just providing you a list of new reasons to hate him.  Surely The Nest must have an article of reasons you hate your H pre-baby.

  • It's all about encourage you to hate your husband enough to divorce him, so they can recycle you back on to the Knot when you find the next schmuck.

  • Oh and after our first few snipe fests, we had a new rule for our marriage:  keep the conversation to the absolute minimum at 4 am.  You can't be rational while sleep deprived at that hour and there is no interpretting subleties of tone.  Baby wakes up, you have your tasks, I have mine, we get them done as quickly as possible without speaking and go back to bed.  It worked wonderfully.

    Luckily I have a husband who shares my values.  He would only use a diaper in whisper or bubble, and he would certainly fashion some modest nipple covers for the monkey.

    I'm now a little concerned that my crotch is not being properly cared for.

    That was our rule too, especially in the early days when we had to wake him every two hours to feed him.

    I think they mean when it's torn up after giving birth. I'm assuming that's just been subsumed and added to the hate-list?

    Sometimes I wonder if scientists have never seen a sci-fi movie before. "Oh yes, let's create a super species of deer. NOTHING COULD POSSIBLY GO WRONG." I wonder if State Farm offers a Zombie Deer Attack policy. -CaliopeSpidrman
