I am 35+1 wks today and, according to my loving husband, have entered the "pregnancy crazies" phase. What this means basically is that everything irritates me to an enormous degree and mostly it's things that he does (or doesnt do). My daughter is also making me crazy for various reasons - her tendency to not listen, take forever to do anything, cry for the most bizzare reasons (look sweetie I bought you a new coat!)... Yes I know she is only 4 and a bit. The mess in the house will probably finish me off - especially since bending down to pick things up/clean/put socks on is a huge effort. I also have two more weeks at the office and even though that is only four actual days left it feels me with rage.


Am I the only one? I literally feel like I may explode.

It is just his excuse for his inabilty to multi task. Making you feel guilty. It will only get worse. If you expect nothing of him then you will only ever be pleased. ( I have not mastered this but I do know woman that have- usually sahm's). Meanwhile I fell like you do at least 25% of hte time....................;-)
My husband has his faults but mostly he is supportive, cooks and cleans and takes care of DD. But it takes very little to set me off. True he is unable to multitask - case in point the same meal will take me about 30mins to cook and it will be an hour for him. In any case, arghhhhhh!

Gosh Pickle, I tell my husband his breathing* is too loud all the time, but certainly was telling him that even when I wasn't pregnant and when the children were being angels sleeping through the night!


I don't think you're being unreasonable at all Supergolden as it's very hard to have a 4 year old around when in your 3rd trimester (or 2nd or 1st for that matter). As everyone says men and multitasking don't go hand in hand for some completely unknown reason.



breathing too loudly is different than snoring for which a kick is involved.

I had a go at my OH for rustling the duvet too loudly when the baby was sleeping. :-0 It was a very crinckly cotton duvet...

Um, I'm just 17 weeks and I have got the "crazies" big time. My poor hubby can't do anything right - if he tries to unload the dishwasher while I'm cooking I want to kill him because he gets in my way, but if he doesn't help clean up I want to kill him. Don't even get me started on breathing too loud....it could be a long 40 weeks at this rate!
I'm with Pickle on this - 2+years on from no 2 and hubby still winds me up even though I know he's trying his best and he does do loads, just takes 3 times as long as I would! I think it's just that he focuses on what he's doing whereas I'm worrying about how that one thing links into 5 other issues. I've certainly been far worse since the kids came - stuff that I could ignore before just does make a difference now.

Pregnancy definitely makes you irritable. If my husband came anywhere near me in bed (not even in 'that' way), I would scream 'ENCROACHING!!!!'.....


Sadly for everyone, I'm not sure the arrival of the baby will put an end to the 'crazies', I'm still in full-blown crazy-land (but happy at the same time.... not sure the same for hubby!)

    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded 
    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest. I cant fault him.
    • When I have more time and energy, I will look up the actual number of votes cast for each party in that election, rather than the number of seats won. I'm interested to see that you apparently  think that  Boris Johnson did a good job of "leading the country through Covid." Is your memory really that short? I won't stoop to calling Johnson and his cronies names in the way that you seem to think is appropriate for left wing politicians. At least the left wing politicians have some semblance of morals and a concern for people who aren't in some over privileged inner circle and/or raking in money for themselves on the back of an epidemic. I'm not going to open a can of worms on here  by commenting on the disgraceful so called "purge".
