I alternate between enjoying your crazy (because it makes me realize how happy and normal and blessed I am in comparison), and feeling really bad for you and the people who have to deal with you every day. You are fascinating, if nothing else.
Um yeah because this post was totally bursting with normal.
Tonight DH and I are staying at my parents house since my mom and I are leaving early in the morning to photograph a finished project of mine. It's O time so DH and I will be getting it on at my parents house tonight.
WOOOO HOOOO
Makes it that more exciting, lol

I confess that I think if I dont get a BFP within the next 3 cycles I'm going to stop TTC untill next year because I dont want to be pregnant for my sister's wedding or any of the prewedding festivities. I havent told DH yet, and I'm dont think he's going to be happy about that.
I am DYING to know who GraceinCA is talking about - she was one of the ones making similar comments last week without naming names. I am going through the possibilities in my head but I can't think of anyone that fits................
I confess that I chased DH naked around the house in hopes that we could BD as much as possible during my O time. It backfired and got him out of the mood ... Lets just hope the one time night before O was good enough!
**TTC since April 2010**
DH diagnosed with moderate MFI, low everything, me low AMH
3 IUI's and 1 IVF all BFN's, almost gave up hope
June 2013- One last IUI for the heck of it... BFP! Complete shock!
April 2014- Eliana- In Hebrew means The Lord has Answered! Welcome to the world my miracle baby!
September 2016- Surprise BFP without medical assistance! New Baby due June 2017!
My confession is that most of the time when I see it I feel bad for you, but once in a while when you post in someone's thread something cruel/ridiculous/angry I experience schadenfreude. Then I feel guilty for enjoying your mini-meltdown, and I post something nice to the OP because I try and counter your bitchiness with some kind words. It won't kill you to either ignore the posts you don't like, or simply post a kind word and move on, but you seem to be incapable. You have to get that dig in. You can't let it go. You have no idea if someone's BFP is a beepbeep or MUD, but you will never give them the benefit of the doubt. Or just move on. You have to say something.
I wonder why you even want to have children, if every tiny thing bothers you. If you can't even skip over a post or thread you find annoying or stupid, you're going to be a lousy mother. And don't kid yourself, there are many lousy mothers out there. You're not going to magically turn into a happy, well-adjusted human being just by giving birth. If life is this miserable now it's only going to be more difficult.

Come on GraceinCA, are you really going to not come back and let us know who this is meant for after you took the time to write all of this?!
Unfortunately, I think she is just attempting to incite drama.
Aaaah, I should know better by now. Thanks for the reminder LP!

I hate the fact that my arch-enemy (BIL's wife) has all of a sudden decided that she wants to TTC #2 next month. We were pregnant with #1 at the same time ( 2 weeks apart) and she said some pretty nasty things..i.e. "I guess we have to share everything" , "I hope your baby has Autism."
So the fact that we may be pregnant again at the same time just gets under my skin. It is like she always has to be in competition with us. She even got upset that my DS was rolling over before her DD. Seriously!!
You are a bigger person than me, because I would have punched her in the face.
I have to see her every Sunday for dinner and sometimes I would love nothing more than to punch her in the face, especially once she starts one of her self absorbed materlistic rants. But I have to sit there and pretend. I will never like her, but unfortunately I have to live with her.

Oh, I saw it.
Not really interested in feeding into anyone's persecution complex, and I doubt that even if I identified the person or people it would really make any impact. It just felt good to vocalize it. I'm not one of those types who runs around cheering for the underdog or rescuing those in distress, but this board sometimes makes me feel like I should speak up. I just wanted people who have been on the receiving end of the behavior I described to have someone acknowledge it for what it is, and know that not everyone condones it.

She is not a SIL...I don't claim her. I love my SILs. She is BIL's wife!!
My FFC is that I am seeing a lot more posts of ladies looking for trouble when it comes to TTC and it annoys me.
By looking for trouble, I mean, overly anxious to think that something could be wrong with their body and they haven't been TTC for long or maybe they just started charting recently. I usually don't respond to the posts, but I don't understand why you would look for something to be wrong so early in a TTC journey?!
OMG. I know one and she makes me want to poke my eyes out.
Unfortunately, I think she is just attempting to incite drama.

LOL! I was being serious with sincere thank you....you are right...I shouldn't get sucked in

It is a tad ironic that you are speaking up for people who you feel are berated and belittled, which is a comendable thing, but in doing so you name call and dish out insults. Pot meet kettle, no?

Nope. I loved high school and am still very close with most of my friends from that period of time. I'm also not losing any sleep about it. Just sharing my observations.

Gotcha. Silly me and reading your post telling that unnamed person they are going to be a "lousy mother" and they won't turn into a" happy well-adjusted human by giving birth" as not insulting. At least the person (or people) you are talking about says it directly to a poster instead of hiding behind insults while not naming names.

I confess that I feel that SOME mothers have unhealthy relationships with their sons. My MIL treats my husband like he is still a child. (Except when she calls asking him for money to put gas in her gar or buy frivolous material things.)
One time she came to visit, and I woke up the next morning and went to the bathroom, I come back and she is in our bed (under the covers and everything) with my DH and patting his head and talking to him like he's 7. What made it worse was what she was wearing for pajamas, which was basically a little cotton nightie. I'm sorry, wear what you are comfortable to sleep in but put on a robe when you are in someone elses home. Also, she likes to hold his hand and is just overly touchy with him. Maybe I am a horrible person, but this weirds me out. (Also, it should be noted that it weirds DH out as well.)

I usually don't respond to the posts, but I don't understand why you would look for something to be wrong so early in a TTC journey?!
OMG. I know one and she makes me want to poke my eyes out.
I know at least 2! ^5
We are totes talking about one of the same people.
You totes know the other peep! It's your BFF! Whackadoo Whackadoo!!
Re: Changing it Up: FFTC!
Um yeah because this post was totally bursting with normal.
WOOOO HOOOO
Makes it that more exciting, lol
My new confession:
I am DYING to know who GraceinCA is talking about - she was one of the ones making similar comments last week without naming names. I am going through the possibilities in my head but I can't think of anyone that fits................
September 2016- Surprise BFP without medical assistance! New Baby due June 2017!
Aaaah, I should know better by now. Thanks for the reminder LP!

I have to see her every Sunday for dinner and sometimes I would love nothing more than to punch her in the face, especially once she starts one of her self absorbed materlistic rants. But I have to sit there and pretend. I will never like her, but unfortunately I have to live with her.

ha ha ha ha ha! That is hilarious.
Ugh. I'm sorry.
You seem like a very nice person and that sucks that she's such a b*tch.
I feel very fortunate now to have such nice sisters-in-law.
Oh, I saw it.
Not really interested in feeding into anyone's persecution complex, and I doubt that even if I identified the person or people it would really make any impact. It just felt good to vocalize it. I'm not one of those types who runs around cheering for the underdog or rescuing those in distress, but this board sometimes makes me feel like I should speak up. I just wanted people who have been on the receiving end of the behavior I described to have someone acknowledge it for what it is, and know that not everyone condones it.
She is not a SIL...I don't claim her. I love my SILs. She is BIL's wife!!

It is a tad ironic that you are speaking up for people who you feel are berated and belittled, which is a comendable thing, but in doing so you name call and dish out insults. Pot meet kettle, no?
I know at least 2! ^5
Pot meet kettle? No. I wasn't calling anyone a random insult, I was describing a specific behavior. If I say, not to anyone in particular, "You're a very angry person," that's my opinion about someone's behavior, based on some facts. If Susie Poster is not in fact a very angry person, why would she be insulted by that post? She wouldn't. If it's ironic (or hypocritical or whatever) that I'm defending one set of people by doing something that some people think is putting down another set of people (even though that's not what is happening here), then so be it. I never claimed to be a candidate for sainthood.
Were you picked on in high school? This is a message board and we are all adults here. I realize that yes, the snark can get out of hand sometimes but seriously, we're all strangers. No need to lose sleep at night about it....

"Anyone can give up, it's the easiest thing in the world to do. But to hold it together when everyone else would understand if you fell apart, that's true strength."
We are totes talking about one of the same people.
Nope. I loved high school and am still very close with most of my friends from that period of time. I'm also not losing any sleep about it. Just sharing my observations.
Gotcha. Silly me and reading your post telling that unnamed person they are going to be a "lousy mother" and they won't turn into a" happy well-adjusted human by giving birth" as not insulting. At least the person (or people) you are talking about says it directly to a poster instead of hiding behind insults while not naming names.
She doesn't have to, Its FFC:)
Ah, well it's a good thing you have no problem feeding into the martyr complex.

No problem.
Oh FFS, nothing is flame-free, whether in real life or on a message board. If she's going to call someone out in a public forum with thinly veiled insults, she might as well come out and say who it is.
I don't think "martyr complex" means what you think it means.
Where did you come from? You missed the butterflies and rainbows board by about 5 miles, maybe yon buddy can show you the way there.
Are you Inigo Montoya now? Come on, just spill it already.
Nice to see you as always, Karma

More like 2.
And quite honestly- this is the only even remotely interesting post on this board in FOREVER.
Ditto!
I confess that I feel that SOME mothers have unhealthy relationships with their sons. My MIL treats my husband like he is still a child. (Except when she calls asking him for money to put gas in her gar or buy frivolous material things.)
One time she came to visit, and I woke up the next morning and went to the bathroom, I come back and she is in our bed (under the covers and everything) with my DH and patting his head and talking to him like he's 7. What made it worse was what she was wearing for pajamas, which was basically a little cotton nightie. I'm sorry, wear what you are comfortable to sleep in but put on a robe when you are in someone elses home. Also, she likes to hold his hand and is just overly touchy with him. Maybe I am a horrible person, but this weirds me out. (Also, it should be noted that it weirds DH out as well.)
Word Big Bird. She Cray Cray.
