Who's making you mad today?

*Sorry, I don't know how to GIF still so imagine a funny/mad GIF here*

Let me start by saying my MIL is trying to seriously put me in the ground dude. This was my night last night so this morning, I've got a few TW....

I texted my MIL last night asking who else she has told about us being pregnant. She said just a few people at work. Okay... she works at a hospital where we know just about everyone and they all know us because we all grew up together with their kids. So obviously it got around that my DH and I are expecting. Whether she meant it harmlessly or not, now people are asking me questions. I had to deactivate my FB last night to just get away from it. I am soooo pissed off that she would do that! I asked her not to tell anyone else and she asked me, why is something wrong or do you just have an aammmaazing announcement planned? WTF? Well we don't know since you f&%king told EVERYONE!!!!!!!!!! >:(

THEN!!!!!!!!!! When I got home from work, my lovely DH told me the new neighbors across the street backed up into his brand new charger we just bought 3 effin' weeks ago!!!!!!!! Denting the front and back driver side doors!!!!!! WTF!?!?!?! We haven't even gotten the plates changed over yet!? The neighbor lady got a piece of my mind last night as I assessed the damage. I think it's safe to say they will be skipping our house for trick-or-treating this Halloween. -_-

@crossfitbabybump Damn, I'm sorry that your MIL spilled the beans already!!! How inconsiderate! MH aunt and I are in the same field and she had told a couple ppl about us expecting so I know how you feel but to get to the point where you had to shut down FB sounds awful, I am so sorry!!! The car sounds like the icing on the cake. Car repairs are such a PIA!!!

@muggle621 I'm sorry you have to go through that, too! Yeah the FB thing has been coming for a while though. I don't want her all over my sh!t and knowing my every move now. Just gonna stay on the DL for a while. She just irritated me by saying, "Why? Do you have some amazing announcement planned?" Well I did until you went and ran your mouth. Thank you for ruining the one thing I was looking forward to...

@crossfitbabybump Ugh I can't believe your MIL did that. And then the nerve to ask why you're upset. Whether you had a big announcement planned or not, it's just not her place to tell people about it until you say it's ok! I'm frustrated for you!

crossfitbabybump

@skppks thank you! I wanted to tell her that, like yeah dude, it's not your place to tell. So SSHHH!!! after I asked her nicely last night she texted me back, "K"

oh. nice. -_-

@crossfitbabybump also, working in a hospital (in any capacity) she should know about confidentiality and patient privacy. Just because it's good news doesn't mean you can tell people. That's infuriating.

I tore my DH a new one this morning. Yesterday he came home from work and blabbed on and on and on about the BS at his workplace. (I think he's addicted to the high drama of that place.) Then he had a headache and I had to be all sympathetic. We had agreed to go out for this group dinner. I have been feeling really nauseous in the afternoons/evenings and didn't want to go, but this group gets together irregularly and we had RSVP'd. So we went. It took forever! Service was slow. But we had a good time. 3 hours later, we're finally standing up saying our goodbyes, and DH says, we're going to the coffee house, ok. Me: um, seriously? I really would like to get home. He makes up an argument of why we should go. Then the guys who we're going with walk up and are like "You know where it is? Ok see you there." DH already told them we'd go without checking with me.
Not once did he ask about my day, my work, how I'm feeling. Today I said to him "You're wife's pregnant and it's still just you, you, you." He's all apologetic but I'm still like, grrr.

One of my yoga students told a ton of my other students who I am very close to.  I was trying to tell them as I saw them in person.  They have all been with me through the past year and a half of IF - they came to workshops and donated to my IF treatments.  So it was a really big deal for me to tell them and watch how excited they got.  When that student told others that experience was taken away from me.  I explained that to him and let him know I wasn't mad at him but that he had taken away a really important experience for me.  Perhaps if you explained to your MIL how you were looking forward to experiencing watching people find out and she kind of messed that up for a few people she might back off.  It sounds like she might be a bit defensive, so it might be helpful to maybe do it in person in a really calm, relaxed way.  

When people know you're pissed at them they can sometimes get the desire to fight back, even when they know they were wrong.

Ugh! @crossfitbabybump Sounds like Munso MIL with our second. We specifically asked her not to tell anyone, especially SIL because she would run to Facebook— and that's exactly what happened. Livid doesn't even explain it. I don't get why everyone thinks it's their business to tell. This time around we haven't told anyone yet except my Mom because of being PGAL. I told her I absolutely do not want ANYONE else knowing until we are comfortable telling our kids. Even then, WE will decide when we are telling. People stink.

@antoto - that's really good advice! She is very defensive and last night her texts showed that. I wasn't trying to start a war with her but I think she may have taken it that way. When we facetime with her, I think that'll be easier than texting because you can't misread that. I do just want her to know that she took that away from me. I'm sure she's over the moon since she will have two grandbabies within a week of each other, but I just want to be able to surprise everyone. 

@chasingroygbiv - exactly! I want to be comfortable with it before everyone knows. We haven't even heard the LO's heartbeat yet so I want to wait until at least that and I'm possibly 13-14 weeks. It just upset me that she kept my SIL's pregnancy a secret and hasn't told anyone but ours she's just blabbing to whoever, not caring who finds out. I just wanted her to respect that one thing. I know she's excited, so are we! We just want to wait a little bit longer, just to be comfortable!

I really don't know who the twatwaffle is on this one. My first appointment is this afternoon and it happens to be right at the time that dd usually naps. DH stays at home with her and normally we would just have his parents watch her but they have a conflict. DH refuses to wake her from her nap to go to the appointment so looks like I'm going alone.  I can't decide how to feel about this but I'm obvious sad and very annoyed. I understand not wanting to disrupt her nap but come on ....

Every overfilled toilet 

I'm sick of vomiting in a public restroom and having toilet water splash back onto my face.
