I am seriously loving..

that I can lay around all day wathcing movies and not feel guilty. After all, I need to rest for the growing baby! :-)

Entitled pregnant women are the worst. All you described is laziness.

bigtuna486

Wowza MrsMuq I was just joking around! 

bigtuna486

I was just kidding around, I meant the last part to be sarcastic. Guess it didn't translate as such. I'm sorry, really didn't mean to sound lazy or entitled.

Really don't think you need to apologize for a thing.

Thank you OmSweetOm. I am still learning how to post on these boards. I guess my humor doesn't translate well on here yet. :-(

Wow! Have a Sense of joy and humour people. Are you really gonna attack this women with your miserable attitudes? This is supposed to be a place for women to celebrate and support one another. Have some respect and kindness. It's such a bring down when women do that to one another. This is a time to focus on the positive!!

Here is why I thought my post was meant to be harmless.. I am not a lazy person by any means. I work 2 jobs, one full time the other is part time. Week days and weekends. I finally had a day to myself where I could either catch up on house work or relax. Normally I would feel guilty for choosing to relax but I felt like I needed to give myself a rest today; it has been a tough week pregnancy wise. I am not trying to change anyone's opinion of my post, just trying to show why I thought my post was harmless. I would never want to offend the women on here that rarely get time to themselves and work 9-12 hours a day. I am one of them.

Honestly you don't need to explain yourself. It was an innocent and happy comment! It made me smile. No one should have to apologize for taking good care of themselves and having some fun! It's ridiculous that anyone could turn that into a negative! This is the time to make time for some tlc

OmSweetOm

Yeah and FWIW as one of those women who work my ass off I don't find her comment remotely insulting.

Enjoy! Relax and have a great day off!

torilynn777

Haha LOVE IT! You are too cute Self- care is important for everyone but especially for soon-to-be momma's- enjoy the little bit of downtime you have while you can

PrimRoseMama

Everyone needs some down time. I remember really soaking up my rest with my first.

MNgirl326

meh, enjoy your time to relax.   When you are pg with your 2nd you wont get to lay around and watch movies.

Enjoy it while you can.

Enjoy your day off!

You must understand that there are women here who work 9-12+ hours a day, would kill to lie around watching movies that miiight be rubbed the wrong way a little by something like that statement? No, I think your apology was fully justified.

Life ain't fair nor are things always equal. I learned this concept in elementary school. There's no way I am going to tailor everything I say/do on the off chance that some other women, that I've never met mind you, haven't figured this out.

This is a prime example of raging hormones lol. Everyone getting mad at someone they don't even know. Too funny. I get jealous of one girl at work, we've almost got the same due date, and I don't act too different at work and I've hardly called in sick, and she's always called in sick and she doesn't have to work as hard all of a sudden. So I sometimes get bitchy towards women who are pregnant and stay home a lot… Not that that is anything directed towards the OP or any other women who stay home a lot during their pregnancy, I just get jealous that people don't treat me "special" because I'm pregnant.

Someone is having a bad day. Always has to be a bully. Guess we aren't all adults here.

sandrabrooke

Somedays I just like to sit down and relax too.  And I'm not pregnant.  It's not a bad thing to realize your working really hard and just want time to yourself!  It's important.  

jaztastic

Today is my lazy day, and I don't feel bad at all. I just feel like doing jack, so TV and naps for me. Lol

Erze

I am watching True Blood. Alexander Skarsgard. Nummy.

bigtuna486

kyliedaniellexx I did not whine about anything. In fact, I apologized. Twice. This is getting ridiculous.

Thank you to the ladies who understand where I was coming from. My day off was amazing and much needed! Back to the daily grind I go!

@Samiantha101‌ never said you should, but don't whine if and when you don't get the reaction you were looking for.

Huh? Whose whining?

momthatlifts

I was so lazy this last pregnancy. Aside from cleaning, I did a lot of laying around. I wish I was lazier and took more advantage of all the wonderful peace and sleep. Because now that she is here, holy shit

I have to say I feel the same way! It's great to have days to relax, especially since on the days I work it's over 12 hours consistently on my feet.

Tapsalteerie

Enjoy it and embrace it. You need it. I still take them. And I have a kid at home with me! Call CPS! I don't understand the martyrdom with others.

mrsshotgun1221

Do mean women have mean babies? Let's be kind. Everyone is entitled to an opinion. I work hard, I'm a Ph.D student, a mom of a teen and caretaker of my 87 YO grandmother PLUS my husband has a very demanding job as well! I am totally okay with going to bed at 7P and feeling totally spoiled that my DH won't even let me pick up our ironing board!  :-*

If any of you are like us, we've prayed for this moment and are going to savor every moment the VERY best we can! So anytime the opportunity arises, kick your heels up!

Here's to my movies in "que"; Wizard of Oz, The Notebook, Pretty Woman, Benjamin Button and whatever is a total chick flick in theaters.

I feel like this is turning into a: "I work harder than you and here's why" thread.

I also work... a lot. And I don't think someone making a joke is at all insulting. It's insulting to tell someone they're entitled when you have no idea ... She made a joke. Geez.

As soon as the clock strikes 12 on Friday, I will officially be enjoying rest and relaxation for the summer. After teaching and counseling my high school students all school year, as well as coaching track from Dec-May my short vacation is well deserved. This mommy to be needs to kick her feet up. Definitely, no need to keep apologizing. It's words on a screen, someone is bound to misinterpret what your meaning being the words was. No biggie.

Ok, I feel the need to toss this in, at my first appointment, the nurse person who went over family history with me told me to make sure I took naps whenever possible.

I would love a nap, but I work 11 hours a day, 4 days a week and I'm on my feet most of the time. This reminds of a friend of mine who didn't work her first pregnancy and was always "tired", blah blah. Some people have jobs.

I'm a student off for the summer. I spend my days watching Netflix and laying with my dog. I babysit two mornings a week. Am I not allowed to ever feel tired? Let me know.

I loved your comment! It made me smile!!! Currently I am 7.5 weeks pregnant, just saw the heartbeat on Thursday. I work, but I LOVE when I'm done and I get to do NOTHING! I try to lay there watching a movie, but because of my fatigue, I usually fall asleep. I-) Thanks for the comment... Now if you don't mind, I'm going to go watch a movie!
