FFFC!

im sick of folks trying to do everything for me or telling me I shouldnt be doing that...im pregnant not helpless! For example the other day my mother (who I dont have the best relationship with anyway) was over the house with my father and I was folding laundry. She made a comment how I shouldnt be doing that. Im like why the heck not! She goes your pregnant you should make your husband do that. Oh heck no! This is typical my mother she tries to make my father do everything for her which really makes me mad. I refuse to be like this. Im capable of folding freaking laundry thank you!

I'm getting tired of women on here gloating about all the fatty foods they ate, then a week later, they are on here doing weight gain polls and b*tching about how much they've gained.

If you don't want to gain a ridiculous amount, don't feed your face everyday with fast food, sugary snacks, and large amounts of soda. Moderation is key.

I know exactly how you feel!

Whenever I'm decorating/painting or have to go down the stairs to my basement to do laundry or even pick up a box- my mom says "...but you're pregnant". I know this mom, stuff still has to get done!

1. I find it ridiculous that people spend several hundred dollars on maternity clothes when they will only wear them for a few months. I can understand if it's an investment because you plan on having more kids. I'd rather spend that money elsewhere.

2. DD has another ear infection (3rd one in 4 months) and I am so tired of dealing with a grumpy toddler. I feel guilty because I know she's hurting and not feeling good but it gets really frustrating trying to comfort her when nothing works. DH has been a big help in the evenings though and it seems like she's turning a corner and finally getting back to normal! 

3. The whole Mother's Day debate is kind of silly.

If DH get's me a crappy gift for Mother's Day it is going to be on like Donkey Kong.  I don't expect expensive, but something thoughtful.  I would love it if the girls made me something or he sent me to go see a movie.

 I alway have the girls make him a keepsake for Father's Day, Valentine and Christmas.  He gets me a card and signs their name.  I have dropped hints, but I know him.  He will run out Sunday morning and get the last of the flowers and then I'm going to be a b*tch for the rest of the day.

I haven't done crap for work in months.  And it gets worse every week.  I am almost positive I will get to be SAHM so I don't care anymore!!!!!!!!

1. I've posted a couple of times this week and I feel guilty for doing so.  I've been following the board the whole time I've been pregnant, but I guess I feel kind of "been there, done that" with some of the posts (and I've been flamed well in the past) so I guess I've been avoiding actually posting a whole lot.

2. There have been some super-nice days where I've opted to open the windows rather than take DS outside to play because I don't want to lift him 50x onto the various things on his playground and I don't want to deal with the tantrum that will follow when it's time to go inside.

3.  There are days where I am glad MIL lives a good distance away because I definitely couldn't stand her around me all the time.

1. My husband got fired from his job last Friday and I am too scared/nervous/whatever to tell anyone. We already made a lot less money than my sisters and mom so it's going to be even harder now to explain to them why we aren't buying a ton of baby stuff, moving into a nicer/bigger apartment, or whatever.

I am terrified because I had figured out how we could get away with me taking off 4-5 months after the baby is born but I am pretty sure now I am going to have to take off the minimum of time off after the baby because it's all we can afford.

I am secretly angry at him for getting fired (even though he worked for evil, awful people and had already been cut back to 3 days/week in August) and not looking more seriously for a job sooner to be prepared for when this came. We have been living off of my salary and his part-time salary for the last 7 months and we haven't saved nearly enough for the baby or everything to come. I know he is trying and probably feels terrible he can't provide but I wish he'd be more proactive or at least move faster on things.

That actually felt really good to get out. That being said, I love him like crazy and he is an amazing husband and is going to be a great father.

One more... I totally just rescheduled a meeting to next week so I could go get a snack.

I don't know (or care) how much weight I've gained since I got pg.  I don't know what I weigh right now.  I don't recall what I weighed before I got pg, or what I weighed before I lost weight pre-pg.  I DO understand wanting to look, feel, and be healthy.  I do not understand the obsession with the small fluctuations of the numbers on a scale that do not really have any effect on how healthy you look, feel, or are.

Yesterday I was putting laundry away and I cried. For absolutely no reason what so ever. I have never done that in my life. I was so embarassed that I didn't even tell DH. I really have no clue what that was about!

I am not an emotional person usually, my crying/angry/happy mood swing throw DH for a loop.
Earlier this week I wanted tacos from Jack in the Box. DH jokingly (over text message) said no I couldn't get any. I cried. Yup... I cried over 2 for 99 cents tacos.

 

 

I'm sorry but I think these are both so cute!

Mine would be:

1. feel guilty about how I've been eating

2. feel a little resentful toward DH that we are using all of our time/energy/resources toward a project that is important to him, but have almost nothing yet for new baby coming. He keeps assuring me it will all work out but I don't feel so confident.

3. I get jealous on here of all the bumpies that get fancy/pricey (in my eyes) baby gear. I want all that!! 

4. I have a few baby showers coming up and I get a sassy feeling whenever I get the invites because none of them came to mine/got our LO anything.

 phew, I guess I had more than I thought!

1. My dh is constantly on me about saving money. We already save back 1k a month for a house we're building. Now he want me to save up more. I cannot do it and he doesn't understand just cuz he makes twice as much as me. I am buying all the clothes for the boys and this little one. He has bought the noys a pair of sandals and gave $16 for some baby girl clothes. I feel that I houldnt have to save more since all my money goes to the kids.
2. In the past year my mom has called me a b?!ch and my dad called me an ahole. Now I wish I could take the filter off my mouth and tell them how f'ed up they are, but I can't, I justwant to keep the peace.
3. My bossy totally has his head up his behind. Instead ofamount sensible logical decisions he is doing what he wants to show his power!

I'm annoyed with my friends because they're going to a concert the night of my shower and can't make it (it's at lunchtime).  I know it's a drive to my mom's house, but I'm still sad.    They're throwing me a "makeup lunch" a few weeks later, but I really was excited to have them see my family, and I know my mom has worked hard.

I get that this board is great for pouring out our woes, venting, etc...but I'm really getting tired of a few posters who seem to regularly post the "woe-is-me/I need to vent for a minute" posts. Suck it up. You're pregnant, if you didn't know what you were getting yourself into before you spread your legs, that's your own fault. It's gotten to where I don't even open threads usually by certain posters, b/c it's ALWAYS the same crap.

On the semi-same note...I think most of us need to cut our H's some slack. I see a lot of venting about them, and honestly, I'll be the 1st to admit that I'm not easy to live with right now. Could H be more understanding? Sure. But we're not the only ones going through a big change right now, and when a lot of H's are suddenly having to cook more, aren't getting sex, getting b!tched at, etc...why would we expect them to be "understanding" of how we feel? I realized that will probably the VERY unpopular opinion, but oh well, I got my BGP on.  

eta: I realize some husbands are honestly acting like douches to their wives, but I'm referring to the women who get upset b/c their H's won't get them certain food, work all day then don't help them clean the house, or basically don't pamper their whiny butts.

You're my new BFF.
