Okay. this is soooooo kooky but I just want to put i out there and maybe I can get some responses, at the very least I can just put it on something and I can start to feel a little bit better. Anyhow, we are expecting our son in just a few short weeks. Iasked my husband for a very simple favor (at least I think it is): purchasing the diapers. I know from what I am always told you can never have enough diapers! We have already bought EVERYTHING else: plenty of clothes, a swing, a couple toys, car seat, stroller . . .. etc. Some diapers yes but I asked him to buy the diapers from cosco because he works RIGHT there whereas I don't work nearly as close as he does... but for some reason he just won't buy any??! So what is the deal here? What his is buying is $500 worth of NINJA TURTLES and other action figures off of eBay. I don't get it. Am I going crazy, because I started complaining that he couls do something so simple, or is this okay?? Well if you don't think I'm crazy for writing this and you appreciated it or have anything to say, I am welcome to any and all comments! AHHHH!!!

he probably thinks he has lots of time buying them and that you're just "crazy" because you're pregnant. As like you have to eat something the moment you feel like, he thinks buying diapers it's just another "power" feeling too. It looks to me that he's very childish and does not realize how much responsability a baby is bringing into the family. Maybe , on the other side, you need to be assured he's going to help you and this is something that gives you the "upper hand". Anyhow, you'll have to have a good, real talk before the baby is born. What do you expect from him, have a plan. Once the baby is born you'll be tired and very easy to get upset - at least for the first few weeks. You need his help - better now, talk and have a plan.who is doing what and when. Dr Spocks' book is still very good - did you read it?
