First and foremost, I'ld like to mention that I love my DH. He is a great dad and even better husband. However, lately he has been completely consumed by video games ( well, one in particular - COD:MW3). When he gets off of work, he immediately sits down to play. When he has off, he plays pretty much all day. Recently I had him go to the mall with me and his DD (13 months) just to hang out and have a day out of the house. He came, reluctantly, but spent a good time before leaving saying it was a bad idea because the house needs lots of cleaning, and the laundry is piling up, etc. Once we got back, instead of attacking the chores that needed to be done, the same ones he pointed out, he went back to the video game. I talk to him, he says he understands and that he will be more careful not to play all the time, but here I type, with him sitting 4 feet in front of me, glued to the tv and game. If I hit him over the head with a pan, can I blame it on the pregnancy hormones? (11 weeks along) (P.s. I'm kidding about hitting him...sorta...lol)
~Let go, and Let God~
i get childish too at times when i get frustrated, and show my ass big time. it got to the point where if my MIL took my son for a few mins and brung him back upstairs to us she would just hand ds off to me cause she didmt want to interupt dh playing the game which pissed me off. And i told him about that and how it was wrong. I do have to admit that my husband got me into playing black ops on the ps3 and when I start playing that I get so sucked into it until I can be at the top for at least 3 matches lol and im not the one usualy that into video games. I got pissed at my husband many nights for playing the game until like 3am and it would wake me up. Boy that shit made me mad. But now he dont play WOW on the computer anymore, thank god cause that game was very time consuming! And now if he plays video games its only for like 3 hrs at the most cause he has a short temper and gets aggravated really easy at it lol. And that would make me mad if he woke up our child early in the morning cause of a video game lol thank god that it hasnt happened. Because that would be the end of his video games for awhile. Now sometimes ill ok it for him to have a game night which is a guy friend to come over and bring his own tv and they sit them together and play games and order pizza and beer and ill attend to my ds and give him guy time. That way he dont think im being a to controlling bitch. lol Which im not one, but his help is needed around the house especially with our son. And it will get better but not over night! lol there was nights where I wanted to yank that damn ps3 up and throw it out the window cause of him playing so much so I completly understand.

His big thing with playing is being able to go online and play against others - he loves the "challenge", lol. And there have definitely been times where i've just wanted to give him an ultimatum, his family or the game. I don't think it would work too well, he would probably just say i'm being childish, which I do get sometimes when I'm frustrated. He was better today, but I think it had to do with me yelling at him at 1:30am because he was only finishing then and he managed to wake up DD because of it, at 1:30am, grrrr. And I'm not yelling at him right now for playing because at least he finished everything he said he was going to do, chore wise, so at least there is less on my plate today. Glad to hear it will get better, I sure hope it does on my end, or else I'm selling the tv and the system, HAHA.

Wow you sound just like me when I was prego and had my son. My husband was super addicted to video games. Like COD: black ops, MW3, and WOW on the computer. I told him that I would like if he layed off the video games for awhile and helped me out. And he did here and there, then got sucked back into the gaming world. Now he dont play so much not that it matters cause our son is now 17 months. It was so bad at one point to where i was going to tell him to choose the game or me! And he told me that with him playing the video games that it helps him kind of escape this world and he gets to talk to ppl. Cause we lost all our friends when I had my son. So we didnt have noone to talk to besides our family and each other. I told him that I didnt mind him playing the game when our lil man was napping, but I also needed "me" time due to being exhusted. My husband would use the excuse that " at least hes not out doing drugs or racing cars, and that at least he was at home and i knew where he was" and I told him what kind of excuse was that, lol. I also told him that if he was to do that while our son was a newborn then that would make him a piece of shit father! And I would leave him. Your not alone, although I can tell you it will get better. Why dont you just make him get off the game and have him help you with the house hold chores, and that you wouldnt mind if he played the game at night once his DD was asleep. But you needed help cause you already feel exhausted due to pregnancy. :) I really dont know what else to say but i do know how you feel cause Ive been there!!
He'll figure it out.
