Vent Post: full disclosure I know I’m whiny (and hangry)

GRRR.

So, my daughter (nearly 2), has been sick for the bast several days. Started on Saturday when she projectile vomited ALL OVER ME 🤢. That then dissolved into a lingering low grade temp and wet cough that she still has today (Monday). Cough sounded kind of barky and she was struggling to inhale, which has caused her to struggle sleeping the past few nights.

(*side note: just got home from the doc, and she has croup, which is apparently going around. 😭 my poor baby!)

My dear husband, though well-intentioned, leaves the bulk of the baby stuff to me, especially when she’s whiny and sick. So during the nights, I’ve been up with her (read: I haven’t gotten a full nights rest in several days). Then yesterday, he had a migraine, so I was left to do the care-taking of both of them.

Also, I’m 16 weeks pregnant and throughout all this, I’ve not been eating as I should (read: leftover bites of toddler food). I, honest to God, have not had a full meal in 3 days. So yes. I was HANGRY.

So, daughter and I get home from the pediatrician, I ordered some food for me on the way home for me and my girl, and dad gets home from work at the same time. I don’t even get to set my stuff down before he tells me he’s going to sit in the other room by himself…

despite the toddler clamoring for his attention and trying to take my food.

EXCUSE ME. if looks could kill.

I just looked at him and said “watch her. I’m eating. I’m f-ing hungry. I haven’t eaten in 3 days” and when I was done eating I said “I need to go be by myself for a bit”

And he responded SO sassily: “yeah…. I can tell”

Ladies- it took everything within me not to go off. I just turned and walked away. I’m mad.

I’ve been bending over backwards for him and worrying about our daughter and now that I need a break he’s going to give me shade??? HELL NO.
