I want everyone to stop calling ::vent::

Kendall13 · July 2009

Every morning I wake up to 3 missed calls and a ton of text messages from my immediate family members.

Yes, EVERYONE, I am STILL pregnant. SO STOP ASKING.

I mean, they are messages from my mother and sisters. I've told them 1,000 times that I'll call when I go into labor. The absense of communication is not a notification that there is a baby on his way. It just means that you people are driving me crazy and I'm far too cranky to deal with a smile on my face.

Oh, and my mom's response to the induction date sent by the OB (only if he doesn't come on his own) was, "Figures you'd pick a day that is going to be busy at work."

Well, if it's too much of a bother then you can just meet him when your schedule clears up. You know, because everything should always be about you.

This sounds exactly like me this week. I just left my voicemail as, 'yes I'm still pregnant. I feel like crap and I'll call you when things change.' May be rude of me, but I get tired of it as well and just know they are concerned.

Seriously, people are getting so annoying. I just don't want to see or talk to anyone. I am just downright angry today. I need some coffee.....

Oh gosh.. I completely understand this one. I get the text messages constantly "Have you popped that baby out yet?!!" I called my MIL yesterday to ask her a question and I didn't even get a "hello" just a "ARE YOU IN LABOR!!??", which I thought was funny. I just laughed.. "ugh... No..!?!??" Seriously, everyone will find out when I'm in actual labor and having the baby. We've had everything planned out for awhile, and I will NOT be the one calling. lol

Sorry about your Mom's attitude towards the induction date. Hopefully she takes a chill pill and realizes it's not about her.

It gets even worse once you are overdue. I have started to completely ignore my phone/e-mail/ and facebook account!

My DH has started calling his mom every day and when she answers saying "Are you ready for a grandbaby?!? To bad!!" It is pretty funny to turn the tables on folks, and it has helped cut down on the phone calls (at least a little).

My parents just pause and wait to see if I will say anything. Every time we talk to DH's mom, she asks if we had the baby. I say, "oh my gosh! You guys wanted us to call you?"

She laughs but obviously doesn't get it because she does it every time.

What is it with people!!!! My family does this all the time and it drives me up the wall! My MIL asked me yesterday (while I was returning her call because I was in the bathroom when the phone rang) if I would make sure we called her when I went into labor because every time my DH or I don't answer the phone that's where she assumes we are! Why do people assume we won't call them? Honestly, if one more person pulls this crap then, no we won't call until he's a week old! Deal with that!

I wouldn't be upset. I know it can get a bit annoying, but I like to look at it as everyone is excited about meeting your baby. Think about how you would feel if they showed no interest at all. I can tell this baby is going to be surrounded by people who truly love him/her.
