Irritating Man Syndrome

Irritating man syndrome. Something that all mummys to be should be in difficulty with.

If you’re not, well done, I’m proud of you.

I love my man. I love him so much that I want to squidge him into a tiny ball and keep him with me all the time. He’s currently deployed in a foreign country which in itself is hard whiles being quite heavily pregnant. When he is here, he’s amazing, he’s supportive, he’s interested, he’s brilliant. But I think something we forget sometimes is that they’re still men.

So one moment you’ll want them to feel your belly because you want them to feel your son/daughter wriggle for mummy and daddy. They will… maybe once or twice. But after that they lose interest because that’s what men do. Don’t take it personally, they just get bored easily, try him again in 2 weeks and he’ll be rubbing that belly again.

Dealing with your emotions? They don’t understand. Don’t be surprised if they get angry either, they do this as a defence mechanism because they feel helpless towards you. A bit like that lion in planet earth, yeah, thats ya hubby: angry, testosterone filled and can’t do much to make you happy when you’re crying at Love Actually. Again, don’t take it personally.

I’ve just lost my temper at my man for a reason that I can’t even remember but I’m still not going to say sorry because I must have been angry for some reason or another. I will probably apologize in approximately 20 minutes.

Here is how to describe pregnancy to a man. It may not make sense when you read it but trust me, he’ll get it.

Baby, listen here, okay.. Can you imagine having another human generated inside of you, look at it like a car, you've put the petrol in, now that petrol is helping the car run, but all the other parts like the engine, the battery, the oil, the gears, the wheel etc, bitch that's all me. That is what is powering our little baby car which means I am very tired. Unlike a car, I can't just turn off my engine so I'm constantly running, ready to just switch off and die, but I don't because I'm a strong independent woman WHO JUST GETS A BIT FUCKING TIRED SOMETIMES. Understand now?

Jokes aside I do try my best to keep calm at him, especially because he is one of the only things that I could not live without. He is amazing and I don’t think I tell him enough. My advise to all of you expecting mummys, be nice to your other half, well at least try.
