Random things that are currently irritating you.

imakeeff0rts · September 2013

Baby related or not, please share.

1) My husband is playing CoD. Every obnoxious 12 year old in America is also playing. ...and they're the only ones that actually think that talking is required. I swear, if DH doesn't mute them as soon as this game is over, I'm going to put a mic on and let all of them hear how they sound.

2) We learned today that this housing company does not consider a window that doesn't fully close or lock as something that should be fixed in a timely manner. If someone breaks in or our brown recluse problem returns, I'm going to go apeshit on someone.

3) I have no cheesecake. I want some cheesecake.

ravenclaw1 · September 2013

OMG. I need this thread. I didn't want to make a whole post about the fact that I currently have a yeast infection, but damn it's irritating me (literally and figuratively.) I started taking medicine yesterday, but seriously - my crotch is on fire and it's killing me.

On another note - I'm happy my H does not play video games at all... we don't even own any systems. He also only watches football every once and awhile.

AppleMuffins · September 2013

@Loppy19 I totally understand the water one. It sucks so much!

My husband is annoying me. He's done nothing wrong at all, but every time he talks to me I just want him to be quiet. I don't want him to touch me. This is highly unusual for me.

The fact that I'm cranky with my husband for no reason annoys me almost more than I am annoyed with him.

Braxton Hicks are annoying me. Apparently they make it really hard to cook dinner and move around.

I'm hungry again, but just had dinner 3 hours ago. And it was a lot of dinner.

ajbook · September 2013

1) sitting in uncomfortable 2) standing is uncomfortable 3) laying is uncomfortable 4) notre dame is sucking butt hole in their football game tonight and it has DH in a bad mood 5) my body is showing NO signs of any progress in the direction of labor and my due date is Monday. Don't be surprised if I'm still pregnant at Christmas!

kimberlymacrae · September 2013

1.   (Dork alert) My DH and and I planned on having a cutsie little family photo for the Mayweather v. Canelo fight because I was SURE I would have LO. I don't have LO and I don't feel up to photos.
2.   The brother I am not speaking to had his 12 y.o. daughter FB me asking if the baby was here yet. GTFO.
3.   My DH keeps claiming "you can eat this (I have GD, duh), you have done well for so long it's okay." No... no it is not okay. Finish strong.
4.   I am not looking forward to the repeat topics once we are all outside baby mommies. I am hoping we all keep our snark reputation rolling though. FF v BF: please lady... it's been talked about! LOL.

imakeeff0rts · September 2013

All very legitimate issues, IMO, especially @ravenclaw1's burning crotch. That sounds horrible.

Also, two days ago my husband was totally on board for getting a chest freezer. I found a 5 cu.ft. freezer at Lowe's - free next day delivery AND it's $10 cheaper than the exact same freezer at the PX (which we would have to pay to deliver and after the whole couch disaster...no. Not happening). Today, he wants to think about it. We have ZERO room in the freezer attached to our fridge, but he's wanting to do the freezer meal thing. Come on, bro. We can't have our cake and eat it, too.

katdesear · September 2013

DH has been playing Xbox since we got home from grocery shopping and now he is watching the Notre Dam game.

Jenmarie279 · September 2013

1) I've been unusually hormonal today, so I'm irritating myself.

2) I can't seem to get my house clean enough.

3) I can't seem to get everything ready enough for the baby.

4) DH tried to be sweet this morning. He left me sleeping and he went grocery shopping. Normal and rational me would have been appreciative. Hormonal me just bitched that he got all the wrong stuff. Like he was supposed to know that I got off my chocolate kick and went back to my fruit kick.

5) Acid Reflux.

mkb5g5 · September 2013

I feel like a grinch, EVERYONE irritates me. I don't need to be checked up on several times a day or be reminded that I'm due Monday. I'm to the point if you look at me wrong I will bite your head off!

I want to punch DH in the face! He has enjoyed his freedom all summer (without a complaint from me) but still feels the need to go hang out these last few weekends. It could be that I'm a little jealous that I can't do it but we are in this together dammit! Time should be spent with me before there is three!

happybride 276 · September 2013

I am not very happy that my husband it old me he wasn't going to rub my back. I am in pain and I think he is an asshole for putting his severe hate of back rubbing before my discomfort. I realize this is a stupid complaint, but we have been getting along really well lately and I just want him to do everything I want. Lol. Again, I know it's dumb.

I am over the whole false labor thing. Whatever I did to deserve this I am sorry and probably won't do it again.

I feel like a jerk for pouting about not being dilated yesterday. I am disappointed in myself because I know better than to take pity on myself.

I am so unimpressed with the large influx of ransoms on this board lately and their over played questions. I know this makes me sound bitchy. But I really like the group of ladies we have and I feel like there was a real grove we had gotten into. This does not mean that newbies can't be a great addition, but we had a good thing going.

beckyandmiles · September 2013

My husband has not put away his laundry in literally months. I wash it & leave it in baskets in the laundry room. He seems content to live out of baskets & I have given up. But his mom will be here when our baby's born & if she folds & hangs up his clothes that have been sitting there for MONTHS I'm afraid I might lose my shit!

DaisyZH · September 2013

My SMIL apparently just laughed her butt off on the phone when DH told her the newest name we are considering (Magnolia) and said our LO will be teased in school. This is after last month when she informed us the name we liked then was a "stripper" name (Lorelai). So annoying.

Bamgal25 · September 2013

I am irritated that this LO won't come out. Today is my due date and I've been having random contractions and cramping all day, but nothing timeable. So I guess today is not the day. I am not surprised to be going overdue, but I'm not happy about it either!

Sounds like you guys need to stop talking to her about names if she's going to be such a nasty bitch. I love the name lorelai, btw.

SweetPeaK26 · September 2013

What's irritating me?! What's not?!

I have so given up on the labor thing that I may actually be in labor, but damned if I'm going in before my water breaks or she sticks a hand out and waves at me, because this has been happening for 3-4 weeks now.

Dh was sweet and went to the store today to get the last few items we may need (witch hazel, pads, pull up for the girls and food for the next few days). He got stuff for supper, but forgot 3 key ingredients. So, he went back. This part was a very sweet of him. But, he decided he wanted taco salads for supper. Which I love, and he loves, and both of our girls love them too... When *i* make them. He got firey hot Doritos and medium salsa, and then got mad at our two and three year old when they thought it was hot... That part irritated me.

Dh made me sound like an uncaring spoiled something to his parents on the phone... It was a misunderstanding, but the way he worded things makes me sound like I'm only interested in them coming so they can babysit the girls during labor. In actuality, I asked when they were coming so I could plan things out. My mom is watching the girls till push time, and then IF there is someone else around, she's coming in to photograph the birth. Chances are high that my dad and sister will both e there by actual delivery time, so it won't matter if ILs are there or not. But, if they are already going to be, and our labor goes fast, it would be nice of them to be in the courtyard or waiting room with the girls so my mom can photograph.
... That was long, but it caused a huge blow up between dh and I an even after he realized what I was ACTUALLY saying and was fine with it, he still didn't apologize.

Ummm, annoyed with the weather, because why the heck doesn't it want to just do what I want!?

Ha, yes I agree. She's kind of crazy and all name discussion with her is going to promptly end now.

I like Magnolia!

TKtravels · September 2013

I've been thinking about buying an immersion blender for.. oh, the last five years or so. I've decided that tonight is the night, and I've settled on the brand and model that I want.

The color/appearance that appeals to me the most (brushed chrome) is significantly more expensive than the ugly colored version. Saving the extra money is more important to me than having a more attractive cooking tool that will live in a cabinet for much of its life, but still.. my undies are in a bunch.

Oh yeah, and night after night of irregular contractions has been a riot. Thankfully I was actually able to sleep last night, but the fact that I'm sitting here timing them and then getting annoyed by the irregularity of them has only added to the bunching of my undergarments.

I'm also supremely annoyed by the fact that there is a delicious-sounding recipe for fruit and yogurt coffee cake/bread that I just don't have the energy to make right now. Why can't it effing bake itself?!

ETA: I'm also getting irritated for some of you. Specifically @DaisyZH, I want to punch your SMIL, and @happybride276, I want to punch your husband. And @ravenclaw1, if punching your yeast infection would do any good, I'd punch that too.

DH's aunt may be in town when I go into labor and I don't want her visiting at the hospital. She's constantly pushing her religion on us (DH and I are both atheists) and I don't want her around when I just pushed a baby out.

We aren't religious and my creepy FIL is constantly pushing his Southern Baptist stuff on us. I have no problem with religion at all, but he's WAY overboard and with him it really is all for show.

Just last night I was saying how much I dread the dramatic crap he's going to say/do when the baby is born.

Aww! Thank you. He redeemed himself. He went to kiss me goodnight and I groaned from a contraction. He rubbed my back for a few minutes before falling asleep. It's not perfect, but I was thankful for the relief.

And, this is the wrong answer, but I would buy the more expensive brushed chrome. I love all things brushed chrome. I realize this is irresponsible, and I don't recommend you doing what I would do, but depending on the cost difference I would buy exactly what I want especially when you have waited so long.

Bellodomani · September 2013

I'm sleeping at my in-laws tonight because I'm too pregnant to ride my bike to church and I don't want to wake up at 6:00 am and drive with my husband (he's the pastor, so he goes very early), and they are making me bonkers!!! I know my mother in law is just so excited, she'll make any excuse to talk about the baby. Like asking me every hour, "Do you feel any different?" What does that even mean?!

I finally decided to go out on a walk to get a little sanity break, and 30 minutes in I get a call from my husband, who knows his mom is being crazy town, but she insisted he call me because she thought I'd been gone too long and she was worried I had gone into labor!! I love my mother in law, but after my due date (tomorrow) I may have to declare a hiatus from seeing/ talking to her so I don't go crazy.

Marley629 · September 2013

My house is a mess and I have no energy to clean it. I have a terrible head cold, and ear Infection. I'm due tomorrow and I'm feeling pretty crappy. My SO has been great in taking care of me and making sure I have everything I need bc I can barely move BUT the mess in the house still is piling up. I wish he would clean it without me asking but most likely it will be me doing so.

jlp0528 · September 2013

It may sound ridiculous but I hate that I'm such an anal person that I had all of my baby things done and ready a month ago and I have had nothing to do but walk past her room and wish for something to do besides wait. I am so bored! And I equally hate the people who tell me to enjoy the boredom before she comes.

I hate that H made me get off the couch to try to sleep in our bed this morning after I said please don't move me I will not fall back to sleep and did not after only getting about 4 hours of sleep. Then when I tried napping people outside next door were loud as shit and it sounded like our neighbor upstairs was walking around her apartment in steel toe boots.

I hate that I'm disappointed when false labor fizzles out and I still have my bag of waters and mucus plug. I hate that I'm jealous of mamas and their outside babies. I know my time will come and it makes me feel like an absolute asshole, but I can't help it.

I love my husband and that he's so supportive and helpful, being so loving and everything but I can't wait till I'm not treated like every groan I make is go time. I had to tell him not to ask me unless I say POPTART if I'm okay.

On a POSITIVE note I'm thankful for the sanity the ladies on this board provided me in the last 2 months since the app started working on my phone. Thank you for welcoming me and being amazing.

strlitemiss · September 2013

If one more person asks why I haven't had the baby they're getting punched.

If one more person asks why they can't come to the hospital is getting punched.

If one more person says they are coming to the hospital anyway they will no longer be welcome in my home since they're so disrespectful.

OK that last one MIGHT be an empty threat.

jlp0528 · September 2013

@DaisyZH I love the name lorelai!! That is not stripperesque at all!

@ravenclaw1 I had a horrible one last week and couldn't sleep and that's complete bullshit, I feel your pain and it makes me want to cry for you cause that's all I did.

@kimberlymacrae your gif is the best of all time.

kimberlymacrae · September 2013

Mrsronzio's has a pretty ahmazeballs excited gif. If I can find it I will share.

jlp0528 · September 2013

Please do if you find it! Ps are you watching the fight still @kimberlymacrae? I'm watching with my family and their commentary is making me want to jump through a window!! b-(

I love the name Lorelai too, especially spelled that way. That is my 3rd child's name.

Watching the fight tonight and really Mayweather, you're walking out with Justin beiber? Really. I mean come on.

kimberlymacrae · September 2013

Mayweather loves the Biebs. This is the second time he has walked out with him. The first time was the Cotto fight. Of course I watched the fight! It was soooooo good. And Denzel is such a badass.

HBirdie · September 2013

I'm irritated that DH was given a bunch of salmon and he's pickling it. It's sitting in a huge bowl of vinegar in our fridge, taking up space and stinking up our whole kitchen. Makes me want to puke. I don't mind eating salmon very occasionally, but I HATE fishy smells. Hate them. Despise and loathe with a passion.

My car is in the shop again and I hate being stuck at home with nothing to do.

My mom keeps talking about how she isn't sleeping at night. I feel like she's trying to one up me. Whenever we talk about it, she says she's "so wound up about the baby coming." Uh, you don't have to give birth. You aren't going to be living in the same house with him/her. You don't have to learn how to breastfeed or stay up all night. You don't have to suddenly be making a thousand decisions about raising a brand new human. But please, tell me again how stressful and life changing it is to become a grandparent.

All of these things are extremely irritating. Esp the thing about your mom. What's up with the one upping?

@ravenclaw1: I have no idea! It's so weird! When we were texting today I told her I haven't been able to sleep before 4 all week, and she was like, "oh, me neither. I've been awake until at least three for like the last two weeks. I think with the baby getting closer I'm just getting more and more wound up! It's such a big deal!"

She actually lectured me last week about how I really didn't understand what a big deal it is to become a grandparent for the first time. I had to physically walk out of the room so I didn't say something really nasty.

ravenclaw1 · September 2013

@HBirdie I would've had to walk out too, but at the same time, I'd be so curious to find out exactly what is so stressful about being a grandparent. Isn't that one of those things, that it's just supposed to be fun? My parents think being grandparents is the best thing in the entire world. I have a 17 month old neice who was the first grandchild, then my brother had another one last Thursday, and we're next in the queue. They're obsessed, but in a cute and fun way.

heaven22tw · September 2013

MJHershey · September 2013

My MIL - just everything she does lately.

barnratash · September 2013

I am irritated that I have a horrendous headache and my eyes are swollen because DH and I got into it last night and I cried hysterically for an hour. And because it was over whether or not the dishwasher was full when he started it.

I am irritated that these thank yous aren't writing themselves. Nor are the apples I need for DH's birthday apple crisp peeling themselves.

I am irritated that DH didn't tell me he would get me a breakfast sandwich when he got his coffee so I made breakfast and he came home with a delicious looking bacon egg and cheese on my favorite poppy seed bagel and I have absolutely no room for it in my stomach now.
