Drunk husband 38 weeks pregnant.

We had a farewell party tonight. We bbq and watched the playoffs and bonded. My sister in law is going to basic for the navy and tonight is her last night before leaving. Well. My husband doesnt normally drink but my father in law does and well. Everyone of legal age to drink were doing shots. My husband had about 26-30 shots of tequila because he was doing the double shot glass. Which is why its so high. Well. My brother in laws managed to get him and our toddler in the car. I drive home. He begins to hurl. OMG. I almost threw up. We get home. Hes crying and apologizing. I settle our toddler in the house. I leave him in the garage to get his throw up clothes in the washer and I begin to clean the vomit around him. (I didnt want to track the vomit into the house) I call my in laws in the process letting them know we made it home. He threw up but he ok. His sister said leave him in the car with his vomit he needs to deal with that on his own. I laughed it off like hahahaha but reallly..tf. He tells me to leave him where he is at. Im said no you are so drunk you can aspirate on vomit and you are my husband. I get my green Bissell I clean up whatever vomit I could while he is still in the seat. Im helping him take off his clothes and suctioning the throw up. I throw up because well. its throw up. I tell him i got what I could but he is going to have to remove his seat because its EVERYWHERE. I leave the car windows down and leave the rest of the cleaning for him tomorrow morning. I got as much as the seat would allow. I get his clothes in the washer. Him in the shower. I wash the vomit off his body. Gave him fluids and got him dressed and in bed. Should I have done what I had done or not? Would you leave your spouse in their own mess or help them out?

If it's a 1 off I'd definitely have done what you have done. When my partner goes out (which is like 1ce a year at this point) I always leave water and headache tablets on the bedside table and wait for him to get home in case he needs help.

I love taking care of my hunny bun when he use to drink😭 your a rockstar for doing all that and being hella pregnant too

You guys are much better people than I am! I would have left him at the party and gone home on my own. At 38 weeks pregnant I don’t want to be thinking about nursing a drunk husband, I want to be planning my route to the hospital for if I go into labour and sorting my support network out! I hope there is someone close by who you can lean on if you do end up needing someone to drive you to the hospital or watch your toddler, because doesn’t sound like your husband is in any fit state.

I’d NEVER leave him alone in that state. EVER. Especially since it’s rare he gets drunk.

I would treat him exactly like I would like to be treated if the shoe was on the other foot.

Baby nursery

How’s everyone’s nursery’s coming along?! Would love to see pics of them! Still got some bits and bobs to do but we’re getting there😆

Being a boy Mam really isnt for the weak

I know I have both genders for children. BUT being a Mam to my son is hard and frustrating, like I remind him everytime he goes to the toilet to point his Willy down because well he pisses all over the seat and even on the floor (he sits on the toilet been trying to get him to go like a "normal boy" But he won't even go for bush wees when we try and get him to but will hold it till he gets to a toilet)

My daughter is 19 months so I'll be potty training her in the next year and of course I don't know what that's gonna be like but yeah honestly being a Mam to a boy just isn't for the weak 😂

Would you let her babysit?

My family goes to the same restaurant weekly, have been going for over a year so they know us
The manager (45-50 if I had to guess) comes and talks to us, she loves kids so she loves coming and seeing how my son is (he’s almost 3)
Eventually after getting more familiar she asked me if she could take my son to walk around the restaurant, my family and I always take turns doing this when he gets fussy
I said it’s fine since I can see and I know she’s not going anywhere, later she said if I’m ever in need of a babysitter to let her know
I really could use a babysitter, I never have time to myself, but is it okay to trust her? I don’t want to be too trusting but I also don’t want to be paranoid
So moms who are protective but not paranoid, what do you think? Should I let her babysit? Is this what having a village is?

Tips for giving slippery finger foods!

My 6m baby is obsessed with red bell pepper. But after I have removed the skin and steamed it, its super slippery. He gets frustrated trying to hold onto it. I think ive seen you can put ground flax seeds on things to help with grip. But is that actually safe??

Partner help
