please DH, just shut up
ok, now i know that i've been moody and emotional lately, but i am just so pissed at dh...i have not asked him to do any extras since finding out i'm pregnant. The one thing that HE said right away was that he didn't want me scooping the cats' litter box because of the toxoplas- whatever it is. But for the past month, all i have heard is b!tching about the cats. ummm...who do you think has been taking care of them for the past 2 years??? the litter box didn't just magically become dirty when you took over box duties. Everytime one of them goes to the bathroom, he yells, swears, stomps around like a child. Sorry they poop. I so badly want to remind him that just last week i had to ask him to make sure he runs the brush around the toilet when HE goes to the bahtroom because pregnancy puking is bad enough without stains in the toilet.
UUGGGHHHH! just clean the #($*%(@ box!
woo! that felt good!
Re: please DH, just shut up
I swear, this post could have been posted by any one of my friends and family that has a cat and the wife is pregnant with their first child.
The "husband insists that the wife can't take care of the litterbox, and yet never does it without being nagged and only complains about EVERY aspect of it" ritual of pre-partum, an international and universal language.
I think it becomes a metaphor for how their independence and lives will change going forward, and they react to it just as strongly.
Good luck! :-)
that actually makes me feel a little better knowing my DH isn't the only litterbox a-hole. and of course right after i wrote the post, he came and apologized and went on about how he loves the cats, and blah blah blah.
I'm not afraid to remind him about the toilet stains though...saving that one for an especially hormonal day lol

Your Dh and my Dh are on two opposite sides of the spectrum. He complains about cleaning the puppies pen numerous times a day, but the puppies are gross. He's never once complained about the cat, or has to be reminded to clean it.
He got on my case the other day because I carried our vacuum all the way upstairs. Granted it's an original dyson animal, and it's a beast of a vacuum... but still. He's really stepped up the house work too, without complaining, because he thinks I'm too fragile or something. Some days, like today, its nice cause I'm so exhausted from work. But other days when I want to be doing things and he lectures me its annoying.
