Pregnant Monster! (vent)

Stacy&gil · December 2011

My emotions are flying off the handle! I totally ripped my husband's head off in front of his mom (posted about that earlier), then apologized to her a half hour ago- she just nodded and then walked away.

My husband and I called my parents, who are staying with my brother and his family for the holidays, and we told everyone the news- dead silence, then my sis in law walks away, my brother asks if my husband is still okay to attend Basic training if he has another dependent on the way, and my mom stats firing off questions about my work schedule. I got so frustrated that I hung up.

THEN....

half an hour later, my dad calls me and is upset with ME that I was upset that everyone wasn't "excited enough" for us.

What the hell is wrong with people?!?

Is it just me and my pregnant hormones? Or is this something to be upset about?

Umm... I think I would be pretty upset and hurt if my family reacted that way. I'm sorry! People just suck sometimes...

Stacy&gil · December 2011

Right??

Thank you!

I would be upset too if I told people and they weren't excited. We haven't told anyone yet and I'm nervous that we are going to get the same reaction. But I'm sure all the raging hormones don't help anything either Wink

I'm so sorry! I would be mad too regardless of hormones. That's so disappointing when no one even says "We are happy for you" Or "Congrats"

We told DH's mom tonight and her exact words were.. "Is this a Joke?"

I cried...

I feel like my hormonal pregnant self is ruining my family relationships! Typically I would just ignore it all and keep trudging on... but I can't keep a lid on it! I practically gutted everyone I knew today.

Ouch! I think I would have walked out.

I'm sorry!!

<hugs>

Anyone who has been pregnant before will understand what you are going thru. Its your family they will Love you no matter what. They might be upset right now but they need to try to be understanding also. Being pregnant and moving is stressful to deal with all at once and they need to be a little more supportive. I hope it all works out for you!

I left the room crying. It was pretty awful. Im currently sitting at my moms house having a little pity party while DH is home with the monster-in-law. He's really upset with her too, so I felt bad leaving him there. But after that I needed the break from the invasion of his family!

I'm right there with you! I left my in law's NYE party after my MIL refused to acknowledge my apology for storming into her house and yelling at my husband.

I have decided to spend NYE alone on the couch with a good movie instead of dealing with awkward responses to our big news and fake smiles.

We're avoiding telling family for a long as possible just because of crap like this. In fact, last week, my stepmom was randomly on the phone with me telling me how we need to wait years to have kids because we're "not ready." We're 26.

pinkpepsi · December 2011

Exactly, I just want to relax and not think about my pregnancy being a joke! UGH!!! Good movie, popcorn and comfy clothes! BTW Happy New Years Everyone!

Stacy&gil · December 2011

You all have NO idea how happy it makes me to know I am not alone! Pregnancy is not a joke and should be looked on a little happier!

I just went on a rampage and posted a rant on FB. I'm only have 11 friends- all close (including in laws and family)- so it wasn't to the whole world or anything.

not gonna lie...

there seems to be a common thread here....and its you. how could so many people react the same way to you...including your own family?

KWood2011 · January 2012

Wow I would pretty upset too! Maybe they are just concerned with yalls circumstances but they probably should have waited to talk to about their concerns.

MrsOjoButtons · January 2012

You're far enough along to be acting like a psychotic biotch, but not far enough along for them to express concern about your choices? Okay then. Has anyone told you that failure to stay current on bills can get your husband kicked out of the Army? In case the two kids you already have aren't incentive enough to get your act together, maybe your husband's enlistment will be high enough stakes.
