looking for a bit of advice. I'm due on Saturday so 4 days left. I've been relied on to pick my partners daughter up from school since September when she started reception. I've been apart of her life from before she was 1 so I do have a big influence in what goes on. but she just asked her dad who was picking her up tomorrow from school and he said me, without asking me or even having the thought that I may not feel up to picking her up this week ad giving her her tea and watching her until her mum picks her up around 6. what would everyone else do? I'm kind of pissed of that my due date is on Saturday but yet he's not thought that I may wanna take this time to myself and rest while I can? don't know whether to mention something or get on with it for a quiet life. thankssss😙
Just cause you've had no signs don't mean you baby won't come.. I had no signs until I was woken up at 4.40am with contractions at 38+5.. 22hrs later my son had arrived.. Tbh I couldn't even walk properly let alone wanting to move to go pick a child up from school lol.. Tbh I think he needs to do it, not you. You need to reserve your energy cause labour/birth will really take it out of you xx
Men dont realise . Sit him down and have a calm chat with him about how labour can be spontaneous and you dont have to have signs at all . Plus in your last few days you shouldnt be "expected" or "relied" on to do anything and her mum should realise that aswell.
I doubt he would realise I'd just have a word with him and explain how you feel I kicked off at my husband the other day when he just watched me unload the shopping once I explained how hard it is for me being pregnant he felt really bad and said sorry...sometimes they just need reminding xxx
he thinks because I've had no signs that she's coming soon it's all fine. I'd like to be put first for once. there is a after school club that her mum could pick her pup from when she finishes work so I don't know why they can't do that. think I will say something xx
You should definitely point it out to him. men don't usually realise that they are being insensitive. gob for it girl!
He needs to be more considerate xx
