Bitchy Because of Pregnancy? (Rant)
ImaniJ55

I'm so tired of people telling me I'm acting bitchy because I'm pregnant, when I'm positive I'll respond the EXACT same way if I wasn't. Sometimes I feel like people just blame pregnancy to tell you that you're a b*tch but its ok because you're pregnant.
Example: I bought a bag of grapes, multi-grain cereal, cheese, 100% juice and other healthy food that my OB told me I should eat (brown rice, fish, beans etc). Now I know for a fact that my father does NOT AND I MEAN HE LITERALLY NEVER eats this type of food. And I told him after I bought it that I have to eat this food because its good for the baby. Don't get me wrong I would definitely share if he had asked me for some or I wouldn't get upset if he took a considerable amount. But he decided that it was a great idea to take the multi-grain cereal and eat half the box then give the rest to his friend. (there goes my breakfast). He used my cheese for his breakfast sandwiches (there goes my cheese that I eat with my grapes). And half of my grapes were gone because he wanted a "midnight snack." (sighs). Also, The fridge was literally stocked up with food. (Im on a strict eating regimen from my doctor so the food I bought is the food I eat all the time)
I love my father but he swore I was acting b*tchy because of this and how I had to "tone down my hormones". How the hell am I supposed to react when it's 8 AM, I'm starving, and what I had for planned for breakfast is gone AND on top of that he didn't even offer me any of the food I bought? Of course I ate something else, but I have to go to the store and buy what he ate again. It just really irked me.
(I found out how much and what he ate because my little sister wrote it on a piece of paper and placed it on my face this morning lol)
Alright rant done....

Re: Bitchy Because of Pregnancy? (Rant)
Not trying to be rude, but he seems like a very selfish person.
if it makes you feel any better, my husband and I had the same problem with my in-laws.
we had to purchase a little dorm-sized cube refrigerator just to be able to eat the food we payed for.
it works out nice, even though there's not much room in them it helps keep the fruit/veggies/milk/juice/cheese/etc away from them.
if you don't have that option, you could always get a sticky-note and put your name on whatever is yours.
Man I wish I had a little fridge.
I'm guessing 17/18 and she's 27 weeks.
I know you weren't asking me, but OP isn't online.. or at least doesn't have the little chatty bubble.
This is how I handle that.
"Damn right I'm sensitive! I'm ALSO pregnant, tired, hormonal and INCAPABLE OF BULL$HIT! Don't push it!"
She's either 19 or 20 (can't remember exactly) and 27 weeks (?).
Keep in mind, most of OP posts are completely ridic. I didn't even bother reading this full post because it's probably dumb.
Ah, I was two years off.
I hate to be mean but this is kind of silly. I get it's a rant but maybe you should reread what you have written. Do you eat HIS food without asking?
Lol!! My dad too..
Ah yes. That was what I was thinking as far as age wise. ; I'm pretty sure that if I got all pissy about something like that, and I was living at home, my dad would say, "you don't like how it is? There's the door."
OP. His house his rules. Sucks you were hungry, but you can't go off on him for eating food from his own refrigerator.
I'd hope pregnancy hormones were playing in to your reactions. Otherwise, you have a really intense temper.
Wow..Thanks to lady who called my posts ridic. I thought if you didn't like something, you probably wouldn't read them. Or would care to post a comment in your case.
I'm 19 and I do pay rent. ($200 a month and the light bill and I have to buy my food too.)
Thanks though ladies.
And you're so right.
(1)The only reason why I'm still living at home is because I'm pregnant. I was asked to stay because my mother didn't want me to leave.
(2)Where I live doesn't have anything to do with my post. My post was basically ranting about what my father did. I'm paying for my own food, got my own car, pay rent and some bills plus I clean this house and take care of the pets because I understand that my parents didn't have to let me stay here. I appreciate my parents and love them to death but that doesn't just excuse that fact that the things I purchased were gone when I needed them. Now I have to replace those things and money that was supposed to be used for one thing has to cover another. I could of used the money to buy things for the baby.
Now the hood comment, I don't plan of raising my son in the hood, so I'm not trying to live there. I'm saving up to get a condo not to far from where I live.
Holy shiit you pay 200 for rent?! My Lord! What I wouldn't give to only have to pay that much.
Pfft, please honey. And while I normally say age == maturity, you lack it for sure, and your posts show it.
No one is MAKING you stay where you are, dont like it? Move.
Quit whining.
Your missing the point I tried to make in my post. If I were living with BF, roommate etc, (husband in your case) and any of them did the exact same thing my dad did, I would of reacted the same way. It's the fact that he said I was being a b*tch about it that irked me. Especially because I am trying to provide for myself. I'm not trying to whine about it but it was irritating.
DD (5 years old) from IUI in 2012
TTC 3rd and final!: IUI #1 in progress!
I doubt he did it to tick me off.
But he really doesn't eat that type of food. He's more of a steak mashed potatoes corn on a cob with huge slice of pie person. I have never seen my dad eat like that until today. I was more shocked than anything. The comment he made afterwards when I asked him about my food being gone ticked me off.
Coming between me and my food is the only time my hormonal side comes out to play. Especially if its something I bought and was looking forward to. If I was told to "tone down my hormones" for being upset, it would absolutely piss me off more.
This post has nothing to do with OP's age, or where she lives. Sounds like a typical rant of a pregnant woman to me. Like none of you have ranted about something that may not have been completely logical, but was still frustrating and made you mad. Life must be so grand up on those high horses.
Replace father with husband in the original post. If your husband told you to tone down your hormones because you were upset about something, you would take that comment with a smile? If so, good on you.
I just don't see how a rant over something anyone could get upset about turned into judging this girl on her age, what she pays for rent, etc. sounded like she was trying to purchase and eat healthier food than her parents would. So I don't find it ludicrous to be upset about waking up to find it eaten.
She pays rent, no it's not as much as most of us by far but that's none of our business. She pays bills, has her own car, buys her own groceries and is saving up to get her own place., The girl is 19 and even says in her bio how she would have liked to be in a better situation to have a baby. Sounds like she's doing her best to me. But she titles a post "rant" (which I personally always assume are just posts to get things off your chest in times of frustration) and gets jumped on for not paying a ton of rent, and being upset with her dad? I know if I got pregnant at 19 I'd need help from my parents and damn rights I'd get upset being talked to that way. She posted to blow off some steam, not to be told she's a brat.
Thank you for understanding exactly what I was saying.
Wow, that is amazingly irritating! (ignoring all the rude comments about your age and living situation here. Not worth a real comment).
I think the mini fridge idea is a great plan. I am someone who fully understands that an extra $50 bucks is hard to come by, but if you can scrounge up the cash, check this out.

It isn't as big as most mini fridges, which run closer to $70-$100, but it might hold things like cheese and grapes
I get the whole "his house his rules" thing, but honestly, you didn't even get a bite of what you bought. You told him up front that you needed to eat healthier because of your pregnancy, and he was flat out inconsiderate. I would be furious if someone told me to "tone down" my hormones. Like, for real. Yeah, we get hormonal and irrational, and maybe even a tad bitchy, but WTF is a comment like that supposed to do? Sheesh. Men.
Hopefully you and your dad can work something out to where he only eats *some* of your food, and then maybe even certain things (like the granola, but not the grapes). Maybe you can decide which foods are for sharing and which are designated for the pregnant lady only. Whatever you do, good luck!
