Pregnancy Info HOME

I too have had these same problems with my hubby. Only I am 3 months, not even showing yet! He is crabby alot, short, and argumentative. I seriously think it is stress, because of the changes in your lifes. He's probably just as in love with you as before and it will pass. Try getting him alone one night just the two of you with no baby or mom and see whats really erking him. See if your insurance covers counseling, it maybe just a phase in your relationship that can be smoothed out with a little communication.

ill probably get a verbal slap for this lol but a new baby coming home is hard on men too! put a MIL there 24/7 and boom!! Poor guy haha.. nah seriously.... how involved is he with the normal things like feeding and changing? does he get to spend much time with the baby? i think really its just a case of the shock of fatherhood.. no matter if its planned or not you dont got no idea whats in store for you til you bring that lil bubba home and i can see some guys totally freaking out. with your mom there as well... well i dont know how to put this but he may feel like shes taking his place a bit.....like hes the one that should be helping you out with the baby

does that even make sense what im tryiin 2 say lol

He's tired, he's stressed out, everything has changed - and to top it all off, he has two more mouths to feed, one being your mother. My DH and my mom get a long fine - but intruding in his house for a week makes him soooooo argumentative and cranky. It will pass.

maybe he is angry about strange men handling his wifes privates! at least that was my case. i was uptight about the whole deal, but deep inside it really bothered me. is it the first time he saw the doctor/nurse doing exams? i am totally serious.

mrpanicatm..you have issues..she had a C-section! ...frankschick2001....He's proball a little out of sorts...everything changes when you have a baby, give him a chance to adapt, but at the same time, its not good for you to keep thi sbottled up. You guys are a team, If one part of the team isnt particapating you need to find out why. Since Mom is there, ask her to watch the baby for an hour and you guys grab some dinner and talk about. Hope that helps

hmm hunn sit him down and explain what u just wrote print it if u haev to and hand it to him

NOt sure but in my case I would feel that my wife did not think I was enough support and it will feed feelings of not being good enough for her or the baby. Like she did not trust me to care for her and our child. I can see how this would hurt his feelings perhaps and make him express them in this way - I know I can see myself doing it and I have insight into how it would make me feel as a new father. My child is not even here yet and the thought of my wife doing something like this bothers me. I am with the other guy in saying poor guy...........

I would gather before your mother came to stay at the house that he probably had an idea of how you both were going to handle things-if only in his head or a general idea.... I personally can imagine him feeling totally under the gun with anyone else there when it comes to you and the baby..... He is probably frustrated and upset..... This is what I believe may be going on especially by what you advised.... Moms are great but you and him are adults now and have your own child I would suggest tell mom thanks and that you both can handle this and you REALLY appreciated her help...... Why not take him in another room and say hun is there something going on? I'm not feeling great at all but is there anything bothering you that I can help with? Hopefully this helps you..... Lorie Ann
