Are all men like this?

Question

my husband was over the moon to now that i am expecting twins but he thinks i am buying all the baby stuff to soon i am 3 months and today i went baby shopping made all i need is the wardrobes , changing mats , nappies , nappy bags , baby monitors baby powder and that's about it why is he being like this this is our 3rd and 4th baby

Answer 1

I am pretty sure that most guys are like this

because they dont want to start buying all

of that. It makes them think about it too much and

i think that a lot of them are just wanting a little

bit more free time to hangout out with friends

before having to take care of a kid because it is

sooo different then when you have none.

I think that is why but i mean, what girl can fully

know how the guy mind works right?

Answer 2

I am a pregnant woman and I am 14 weeks w/ my second child.  I don't know when I will start buying baby stuff just out of hesitation, don't want to buy too early.  I bet my husband will buy stuff before me.

Answer 3

No I just tink there is plenty of tiem to wait and a lot of things can go wrong in the nxt few months. Its kinda like jinxing yourself.Good luck anyway.  

Answer 4

my fiance is like that but i can understand him because i'm only 18 but it's probably to early to do all that stuff. I've bought a couple of things but that's just because i was so excited and the store happened to be where we were. Nothing big though. I bought some white socks and some bibs but everything i bought was small and neutral all that big stuff your buying is to soon. Thats what you have baby showers for. lol

Answer 5

yes, we are men : )

don't expect your man to add 7 items to your list ..

honey, what about the curtain of our twins? we need another set of blankets .... lol

i bet he is asking his work mates:

"are all women like this?" : p

Answer 6

If he is anything like my ex husband he is seeing the dollar signs add up.  It makes sense that you want to be prepared especially since you have just found out there are 2 babies (congrats again!) and you have less than 6 months to go since twins typically come early.  Are you having a shower?  Maybe he thinks you should wait until after the shower and then buy things you still need.  Who knows, men are weird :)

Answer 7

3 months seems a tad early, but I can understand youre excited!

If I had the money, I wouldve bought everything the minute I found out what the s*x was. I know Im compulsive about buying the baby clothes- lol.

Just explain to him that youre excited, I mean one baby is exciting enough, but twins is twice the excitement!

Good luck!

Answer 8

My husband is the same way.  I keep buying little outfits and things that aren't on the registry (it's our first) and he keeps telling me this kid is going to be spoiled, stop buying things.  

Answer 9

I am expecting my first and I had a similar experience.  My wife lost our first one in pregnancy so that is the reason I wanted to delay.  I pushed her to wait till 12 weeks at least.  It would be too hard to have so many reminders around if something bad happened.  With being 3rd + child,  probably not as much of a concern.

Answer 10

how do you know your having twins at 3 monthes?? im almost 3 monthes and i wont know for 8 more weeks!!

Answer 11

Just keep buying stuff, you're having twins !

Maybe your husband is a little jealous because you're paying more attention in buying stuff already..

Answer 12

Most men are a bit apprehensive about pregnancies, and while you are very optimistic and excited, he is probably worried about finances, your health, and whether the babies will be born healthy.  At only 3 months, there is still plenty of the pregnancy left, and maybe he just doesn't want to "jinx" it so to speak.

Answer 13

I started buying stuff for my baby as soon as I found out lol. I figure if I buy over time the price won't seem as bad later.

Answer 14

Maybe he is still upset with you for throwing yourself down the stairs last week.

Or maybe he found out about the guy at work you have been having coffee with, kissing and giving your home address to.

Or maybe he is just sick of all your lies?

Answer 15

In all fairness you ARE a little bit early.  However, the situation with your husband could be the same one I had, I have 6 month old twins and my husband completely refused to buy ANYTHING for the babies, I was so upset to the point that I thought he didn't even want them.  When they were born he had to go to the store to buy SOMETHING for them to wear home because I didn't have anything.  As it turns out he was just scared.  It was twins and I had a lot of complications, I was in the hospital for over a month, he didn't want to get his hopes to high in case that something happened.  I don't want to be pessimist but you should wait a little bit longer.  

Answer 16

In response to the opening question...Yes I think so. Mine is that way 2 though, did you take him shopping with you? That's what seemed to help my husband, he used to get mad (act like he was mad lol) because I bought sooo much baby stuff early on, it just got worse after I found out we were having a boy, I think he felt left out, now I take him baby shopping with me and he picks up more stuff then me half the time LOL.
