I am stabby

We had  a housewarming party this weekend. Small, low key, lots of fun.

I had, however, invited some people who just never RSVP'ed. Never told me they weren't coming or anything. And then they commented on a post about the party and they were all "I can't wait to see your new place". Maybe it's just the lack of sleep, but this irritates me to no end. I am cool with people not being able to attend. But to not even let me know, and then act like you are super excited to come and visit? Yeah, no.

I am also annoyed at my mom who just HAS to call Baby Boy "cry baby". Even with me telling her point blank to stop calling him that ("Oh come on, you know I'm only kidding") - Because seriously, my kid has reflux and is in pain - that's why he wakes up every two hours at night and I do not see anything funny about that.

And I'm annoyed at my dad who told the entire family I was in charge of the meal planning for our upcoming fishing trip. First, he didn't ask me. Second, I have a two-month old who won't sleep and just moved into a new house. I don't have the time or the energy for this.

I had the Mirena put in last week and I've been crampy since. It kind of feels like those cramps/cx I had towards the end of my pregnancy and it's making me nostalgic about the fact that this chapter of my life is over with.

Also, I still look about 5 months pregnant. 2 months out and still rocking the maternity jeans. Blech.

Re: I am stabby

  • Aw - I'm sorry you have so many crazy things going on. Is there any way you can at least get out of being in charge of the food thing?

  • You have every right to feel the way you do. Hugs.
  • Thanks ladies. I'm sorry I feel like all I do is whine, and that in itself makes me stabby. I just wish I was able to hit "pause" for a little bit, you know? I mean, I just noticed today we have tiger lilies in our yard. Pretty sure I've seen tiger lilies around the neighbourhood for a full week, yet just noticed ours today.

    My parents know how I feel, but it's like a big joke to them. My mom just thinks I'm overreacting and can't take a joke. As for my dad, he doesn't get what the big deal is. I think he thinks I'm just making excuses to get out of it.

  • All those things would be irritating by themselves but you haven't slept and that makes things a million times worse. Can you get some rest or take time for a nap soon? Keep saying no to your dad. Just don't even stress about it because you're not doing it. I think I rocked maternity pants until 6 months. No shame at all!

  • You have every right to feel stabby. I would too if I were in your place. Tell your dad to do the meal plan himself. Geez, you literally just moved AND had a baby.

    Don't come down on yourself for wearing maternity pants still. I'm pretty sure that its excusable. It's not like he's 2 and you're wearing them. He's still a newborn.

    And your mom sounds a little like mine. She night feel uncomfortable with all of the crying so she tries to make you feel better by cracking "jokes"?

    Thinking about you, mama, I hope everything slows down soon.

    Sadly, I have a 20-minute nap baby, so naps for myself are out of the question. I'm at the point where I'm seriously considering paying someone to come and take the baby on a stroll so I can sleep. But we're on such a tight budget right now, not sure I will...

    My mom just has that sense of "humour" (I personally don't think it even qualifies as humour anymore) where she will also call my kids names when they're little. That's right. She sees nothing wrong in calling my babies stupid, for instance. Because you know, it's "obviously a joke" and "it's not like they understand". Nevermind the fact that ***I*** do care. I'm just over reacting. I asked her how she'd feel if DH's family starting calling her stupid to her face in Cantonese, but apparently that's not the same.

    All right, I really need to stop with the negativity
