Ugh I'm having a horrible day. OH is no help whatsoever. Yesterday our little dog went in to be neutered and it's been an utter nightmare since. He's come home with a big cone on his head so he doesn't pick at his stitches but because he's a Corgi and has little legs he can't eat with it on. So it keeps having to be taken off, and he doesn't want it back on. On top of that he's really upset about it all and keeps crying. I booked two days off this week to take care of him and my partner has next week off because it's his birthday anyway. Well the dog came in and slept with us last night, I set him some pillows down on the floor but because I get up about 4 times in the night to wee these days it kept disturbing him and he'd cry for a bit. Well this morning at about 6:45 he woke and jumped on the bed so I tried to comfort him for a bit before we got up. He wouldn't settle and the alarm was set for 7 anyway so I got up with him. Fed him, gave him his medicine and finally managed to hold him and get the cone back on. Well OH gets up and first thing he says is "I think he'll be fine sleeping out here tonight". In other words he didn't like being woken up. Tough luck, the dog is sleeping in there tonight. Then 5 mins or so pass and he asks if I'll make him a sandwich. To be fair I said I would the night before. So I go to make it and upon opening the fridge find that someone (I wonder who...) has knocked over the beetroot and it's leaked everywhere. So I start to clean it and OH asks what's wrong, I explain and tell him to be careful because beetroot stains. He then proceeded to stand behind me sighing and tutting. I asked him why he appeared to be angry with me and he said "I'm not angry with you, the situation, I need to get to work". So I told him to make his own sandwich and go then. Well he went off into another room for 5 minutes, the amount of time it took for me to clean the mess and the same amount of time he could have made 5 sandwiches in. Then he leaves! The dog has cried non stop all morning. I've tried to ring around and see if I can get him a soft collar alternative but nowhere local seems to stock them.
The OH was going on about how he wasn't getting up early with the dog on "his week off", well I have news for him. He bloody well is. If he can't manage looking after a poorly dog how the bloody hell will we cope with a child. I wouldn't mind but it's the end of the world if he gets a sniffle, the poor dog has had it's bits lopped off. You think he'd have some sympathy.
I take back sayin I want sickness!! I definitely don't!!!
I know I should be excited but I'm absolutely terrified. I have no idea what they are going to say. We've only been together a couple of years and we aren't married which is probably a big thing for their generation (they are both 80). We are then going to tell OH's parents tomorrow - less worried about that one. Wish me luck girls. Ps hope everyone is feeling a bit better today.
Men stay whiny little boys even after they are fathers. Just warning you so you won't be surprised.
