    If this post had been titled:

    I'm fucking tired! Who's with me?

    It would have gone in a completely different direction

    Agreed here. I still can't get over the "card".

    I just looked at her previous threads, and she's received a lot of support here!

    @literachick I didn't know you work in hospice, so do I :) *high five!* Hospice rules! I told a new nurse today that she needed a hall pass when she headed towards the bathroom and she totally came to my office to get it. If only I knew we could actually have pregnancy cards!! I'll be buying from @skeemer in bulk.
    There are far too many tasks throughout the day that I'm just no longer capable of doing because I'm with child. I also need a stash for driving in case I get pulled over, a stash for when DH asks me why I stopped doing household chores, and a stash for when my family asks why I don't call anymore. These cards are going to make me a much better person! No more responsibilities!!!!

    I was just looking back and much is "SS can't deal with life"- posts. which is cool, I can't deal with life most days, but I don't need a bunch of interweb acquaintances to tell me to buck up and deal.  Having been THIS way and apologizing about being a forums newb since last August, IDK, seems like things take a while for her. She also has trouble googling, but so does my mom. I thought her account was deleted, but if all her history is still there, is it not? Do we get another g-bye?
    ETA: fat fingers.

    That cat eating corn is ridiculously cute. I wonder if I can convince my cats. (Maybe with enough butter...)
    I was thinking the same thing. I don't think our cat would go for it but I bet he would lick the crap out of it.

    @literchick So true, we really are!! She looked about a 9 on the perplexed scale. Hazing is a requirement in my presence. Wish we worked together!!

    Man. I totally missed this because I was too busy, ya know, working at my engineering job then taking care of my toddler. Anyway, I totally played the pregnancy card to get a free donut at work. Can I get some clarification ... that's ok, right? I mean, donuts.
    July 14 has come to the consensus that food, SOs, and bathrooms are all appropriate pregnancy card circumstances.
    Ooooh, bathrooms, that's a good one.  I should have busted that out this weekend, we went to a show and the lines were, as always, ridiculous.  All the ladies in the line were talking about multiple births and birth horror stories as soon as they saw me, but no one let me bump up the line.  Bishes.  I was just happy they assumed (correctly) that I'm pregnant and not fat.  Or turning into Alfred Hitchcock.

    It's things like this that lead to the inappropriate comments from other men and women in the workplace. I was overwhelmed at work and had a moment. My reading coach that I happened to be talking to at the moment saw me break down. This was my plan time so I just walked back to my room. She had the audacity to say as I was walking away "oh, and you have pregnancy brain". It's a good thing I was walking away.

    I am not the only teacher overwhelmed with the expectations being put on us right now. I am the only one pregnant. My pregnancy is not slowing me down in my classroom nor affecting my students. I am insulted that she would insinuate that. I think it comes from people "playing the pregnancy card."

    Wow, I honestly felt I took the time to give @cospringswm65 a thoughtful reply and she just generalized all the responses as offensive. cospringswm65 said: No, because you are all fat-ass, jobless, welfare-sucking slobs who spend their day tryng to make other people miserable. I have had enough. How's that? You all have a, "I can't get over the fact that high school is over and all I have now is the bump" complex. I'm done. Have a nice life. You are useless to society. See ya, bitches

    I know NJ just updated laws for pregnant women to be sure employers are making accommodations to maintain a healthy pregnancy. Check out your state laws and keep your dr updated regarding your physical responses to your work day. In NJ a dr can request accommodations, including placing a worker in a less physically demanding role, and employers must provide reasonable accommodations. Check out your laws and work policy regarding this. If you need to check out going out on early disability, but you will need des documentation.

    Glad you think you're such a big deal. Why did this turn into a discussion about who is better than who. I wasn't trying to show anyone up. Someone asked me what I do. I don't think I'm any better than any of you. I was just answering a question. Look. All of you jumped right on the let's poke at the girl who was looking for some "I'm tired too" on the bump band wagon. I think it's all very sad that this is how you treat people. I sent the email to get my account deletd because this "community" is not a community at all. It is an excuse to be the digusting, hateful person you wish you could be to people's faces. I want NO part of it. Back the F OFF! All of you!

    ^ This ^ reminds me of this. LOL.

    Have to admit I have been skipping over this thread, the use of pregnancy card is just a turn off... Had to see what all the fuss was about when it hit 8 pages :)

    I completely ignored this thread until I saw it had over 3K views.  My brain hurts now.  #-o

    I didn't know there even was a "pregnancy card."  My bad.  If anything, I have to be careful that I don't do too much just to prove I still can.  :-?
