i keep arguing with my husband that I can clean out my own horses stall till like the 7th month of pregnancy but he doesnt think I should. I am about 14 weeks pregnant and babysit all the time. I tell him that its heavier to lift a 2 year old then it is to sift horse poop from a stall. I am concerned that soon he wont want me to do anything but sit on the coutch. This is our first child so I understand that he is being protective but how can I convince him that I will be fine and I can do normal things. I understand not riding while pregnant but I still would like to be able to care for my own horse.
Your husband wants to give the chore of scooping horse poop to somebody else and you are arguing with him?????
Oh-no-no-no-no-no....!
Learn to delegate RIGHT NOW. Mom's usually get stuck with all the hard jobs: cleaning nasty messes, late night emergencies, lugging kids and kiddie equipment all over the known world, etc...
If you've got somebody who is willing to help you in any way possible - get in the habit of saying "Yes! You are my hero! You are the most awesome person on the planet!"
It will make HIM feel loved and appreciated - and give him a chance to show you how much he loves and appreciates you, too. It's a win-win.
(PS - Congratulations!)
