Tell me about your most ridiculous meltdown..

CaitS07 · September 2013

I was chatting with a friend of mine, whom is also pregnant, about our ridiculous meltdowns. We just laughed and laughed. I thought it'd be funny to share ours

My most ridiculous:

I was sitting in my office, trying to peel an orange for a snack. Not only was it the hardest orange to get into, but it squirted me in the eye over 3x. I got so frustrated with it that I threw it on the ground and side eyed it for a good 10 min before I realized how ridiculous I was acting. I finally picked it up, finished peeling it and ate it.

about a month or so ago, DH had invited some friends over. I was really excited, because I wanted to spend time with these particular friends. But then that day, I was really tired, and when they came over, I basically let them in the house, then went upstairs to lay down in bed. I started bawling, because I wanted to hang out with the people who were IN MY HOUSE at the time, but I was too tired to put up a happy face!

Yesterday a co worker said we should "glue" this thing to the window (she meant tape) and I almost flipped on her for saying glue and not tape...

This happened in my early second trimester (sorry long):

In the morning, I drove to panera bread to get some stuff for breakfast.
Bought bagels, Cream Cheese and chocolate filled croissants (the ones with two strips semi hard chocolate inside them) because I thought these were soooo delicious and since I know I loved them since I was a kid DH must try them. I was excited.
Came home, he was still asleep so I woke him up to at least try them. Well think again. He got up took a bite and told me flat out that he thought it was nasty.
I just stared at him. He then asked me "whats wrong?" my answer: "Nothing." turn around, bit my lips and had the nastiest cry attack and meltdown I've ever witnessed in my whole life. He then tries to make it better by taking another bite and tells me how good it tastes, which made it even worse.
It took me hours to get over it!!
All because he didn't share the "love" I had for these croissants.

DH and I were trying to figure out what to eat for dinner last Friday. By the time we figured something out, it was prime dinner time and the place we were talking about going to is super packed pretty much always so on a Friday night it's nuts. DH told me we'd figure out something else and he'd take me there for lunch on Saturday. We did a charity 5K Saturday morning. We got home and DH was sitting there telling our dog that he was trying to figure out what he was going to make for lunch. I lost it and said "You told me you'd take me to Scotty's!" He was like "Calm down, I forgot I said that but we can totally go there."

I nearly went ape shiz on DH this morning when he decided to stay home "sick" with a little cold he's almost over. WTF, dude?!

fluttergirlmoonchild79 · September 2013

Wait. I forgot about my ugly breakdown at the grocery store the time that they not only didn't have any oatmeal cream pies but they also were out of regular Kraft Mac and Cheese. I just wanted the normal blue box stuff with the orange powder. Insert pregnant lady rage here.

My husband forgot to get me a card for our wedding anniversary. I didn't bat an eye, particularly bc he came home with lobster which IMO is way better than a card at this point in my life. However, the next night I asked him to pick up milk on his way home from work (I love me some cereal this pregnancy mmm hmmm). He forgot the milk...and I lost my shit. I had to go hide in our room bc there were so many uncontrollable tears, which I knew was absolutely ridiculous but just couldn't help. It was one of my lowest moments...

DH was in total shock at how chill I was over him forgetting an anniversary card but how wild I got about milk. He said the moral of the story is to make sure I am well fed. I agree!

MrsBynum0505 · September 2013

I've had two meltdowns lately... Both over food ;(

The first was a few weeks ago. We went to Dairy Queen to get blizzards a I really wanted a large Reese's blizzards. Well we ordered and started driving home and I realized it was Oreo. I cried for and hour.

Then on Sunday my husbands sister and brother in-law came over for lunch and I made potato soup and homemade bread and when we were done eating we watched a movie. I had made enough so me and DH could have leftovers for dinner. During the movie the brother in law goes and eats all the freaking bread I made!!!! I didn't realize it until they left and I was craving it. I cried and cursed his name for an hour or so then as well.

Oh cravings are making me crazy.

kailapop · September 2013

We've had a really hard time finding a crib in the right shade of espresso. My SIL bought us one from Walmart. Well I opened it and alas it was cherry not anywhere close to espresso. So DH and I took it back to just exchange it and all 3 they had at that location were the same cherry colour. The store wouldn't give us money back just a gift card which IMO is useless. So I held it together until we got to the truck and bawled. Ugly face cried.
On the way home I asked where we were going for dinner as I assumed we would stop on the way home since I didn't have time to meal prep. Nope. We went home and i bawled. I just wanted to eat some drive through and ended up eating a grilled cheese that tasted nothing like a Big Mac.

This was a couple of months ago, but we went out to Sonic because I was craving an ice cream sundae. We got there and I suddenly wanted some extreme tots also. So I ordered both and while waiting for them to brought out to the car I seriously cried/sobbed because I couldn't decide which one to eat first, I wanted them both at the same time.

I've been lucky and haven't had too many hormonal meltdowns, and if I do they are pretty minor.

Movies, not particularly sad ones either, seem to tip me over the edge into teardom. I put myself in the situation (mentally and feel really bad for the character) or the situation reminds me of one of many sad moments in my life and I no longer have control. But most of the time IRL I'm 100% solid, and don't get very emotional over anything actually happening to me, if anything I've become even more understanding when things don't go my way.
I should have had a complete meltdown last friday when I told my apt complex I couldn't find a subleasee and would still be moving out the first week next month. They told me I had to pay $4200 to move out and I would be responsible for electric, water and gas until nov 11th. But I kept my cool and it doesn't bug me too much because it has to be done and I can't change it.

None stick out this pregnancy, but when I was pregnant with DS I could not stand the smell of chicken nuggets (DH would cook them in the microwave). I started crying and locked myself in the bathroom one night when he made them and was heaving into the toilet. He hasn't made them since.

Sunday I was super mad at DH because we had a HUGE "to do" list that involved heavy lifting that I can't do, and DH proceeded to get stumbling ridiculous drunk Sat night and then sleep until 2 on Sunday. (that's the back story)

So then my parents call from holidays, they've been away 2 weeks and aren't going to be back for another two, and my dad calls me out on sounding really "down" and I start sobbing while trying to hide the fact that I'm sobbing on the phone. I blame it on being tired etc.. So then later my brother calls, and he mentions in passing that he's booked a 1 month long trip to India over my due date (I'm due Nov 11, he leaves Nov 2-28), and his wife and baby will be going Nov 11-28, so he really hopes I have my baby 2 weeks early. I got a bit snippy and said well I hope I'm not 2 weeks early, for my own selfish reasons..and then when we hung up I sobbed again for another hour. I just could not stop Crying..which is completely opposite of my nature, I'm not a cryer normally.

Anyways, we worked it out, DH promised not to get that drunk again when we have so much to do, and together we made a list of the million and one things we needed to get done, and we had some ice cream and it's amazing how much better that made me feel!

This past weekend on Saturday was the Canelo vs. Mayweather boxing fight. My H and I had planned on going to watch it at his brothers house. But at the last minute somehow it ended up being at one of his friends house. The whole way there in the car I had a complete meltdown yelling that I didn't want to go to his stupid friends with people I didn't know and that I wasn't going to be comfortable and blah blah blah. Once we got there I calmed down. And surprisingly I had a good time. I later realized I freaked out for nothing.

EDT: just thought of another one. My H has been trying to stop smoking. He only smokes maybe 2 cigarettes a week right now. Which makes me very proud because he used to smoke ALOT. He never smokes at home. He tells me when he smokes its at work. The other day he went out to the garage. Minutes later I went out caught him smoking. I didn't even bat an eyelash. I went inside straight to my room and started bawling. My H had followed me in and saw me. He asked me if I was crying because he was smoking. All I could do was nod my head and cry even more.

I started crying at a gas station on Sunday because they didn't have their delicious pumpkin muffins out yet. They had these weird apple ones and the chick at the register was trying to tell me that they are sooooo good and it just made me cry all over again.

annabobo · September 2013

My co-worker stole my 2 hole punch and I had to go to another floors bathroom to ball about it. Lasted a good 20 minutes before I could pull myself together. Omg

I got so angry and hurt that DH didn't say "thank you" when I went grocery shopping the other day. I try to thank him for doing stuff, but he is just not that type of guy. There was absolutely no reason for me to get that upset, but when I got home and put away the food and he was just watching football I started to ugly cry and had to walk away. I went and took a shower where I sobbed for another 20 minutes.

Pretty ridiculous.

oh oh oh!!!

Totally reminds me!

Last Friday, DH called me and asked if I could stop by the store to pick up drinks (having friends over) and grab him some dinner because he was tired. Now given that the grocery store is on his way home (literally on the side of the road he drives home on), and about 2 miles out of my way, I was already pretty ticked about this. But decided to suck it up, and go because that would make him happy. So I went to the store, got drinks, a roasted chicken, and some mac & cheese (the fancy stuff). I got home, put out dinner, and the first thing out of his mouth was "oh, I wanted a sandwich."

I rand upstairs, luckily stopped myself from crying and put myself together before our friends got there, but I didn't talk to him for like 4 hours (was talking to friends, avoiding him)!!!

alatham · September 2013

I'm embarrassed to say that my biggest moment involved a fart. I farted, badly might I add and to be quite honest my brother and SO couldn't handle the smell and left the room. Thankfully this isn't a sensitive subject (NORMALLY) for any of us and we were all hysterically laughing. SO was saying how disgusting I was and how that isn't normal to be coming out of a person and I should go check my pants and blablabla. I was in hysterics for a good 5 minutes until I started crying cause they were making fun of me LOL.

thelastunicornxo · September 2013

This actually happened in my first pregnancy not this this one, but it was bad!
I was in the first trimester, sick all the time, miserable and the only thing in the whole world that was sounding good to eat and that I could keep down was Mac and cheese. So I told my hubby that's what I wanted for dinner again and he needed to go to the store because we were out. Well he went and then came back and made it for me while I lay on the couch. He brought it to me and immediately I was like "what the hell is this?" He goes "oh, I got you the whole wheat organic kind. I figured since you're eating it so much it would be healthier." Oh my god. Total meltdown. I screamed, I cried.... I threw the bowl in the sink and refused to eat it. And in the back of my mind I knew I was acting crazy.... But it didn't matter! Lol, we laugh about it now but my husband always tells that story to prove to people how crazy preggo woman can be!

The other day DH and I went to a tailgate party and I asked him to grab the folding tailgate chair out of the trunk. He then told me it broke. He had brought it to a bachelor party and someone else broke it. I was so pissed at him I told him to get it out anyway then after I set it up and saw how bad it was I threw it at his feet and threw a tantrum in front of everyone.

I felt bad and apologized, i mean he didn't even break it and was pretty pissed about it himself.

Luckily I don't think anyone held it against me since they probably thought it was hormones.

The funny thing is, is that he would still take pregnant me over wedding planning me any day

JamieCallow · September 2013

My breakdown moment was about sex....I started thinking about the last time we had done it and when I realized it had be 3 days, I started sobbing, like ugly crying! It was bad...He asked what was wrong and I told him I was the most awful wife in the world because we had gone 3 whole days (despite the fact I was feeling sick those days:) He proceeded to be the supportive man he is and told me he knew I wasn't feeling well and it was really ok:) I seriously cried for over an hour even though he didn't care nor was he the one who brought it up:)

[Deleted User] · September 2013

I have had cravings for crunchy things my entire pregnancy, pretzels, croutons, wheat thins. I discovered cheese wheat thins and they are heaven. I came home one day from work planning on eating them for dinner and dh had taken the last few to work. I proceeded to call him a selfish a-hole and cried myself to sleep without dinner. Btw he makes all the grocery store trips and gets me everything I want/need so I was just being a brat. He did learn however not to finish anything without asking me first!

There is a stray kitty that runs the neighborhood. She is so sweet and tiny. We named her Holly. I really want to pet her, but her being a stray I sadly keep my distance. She always runs up to us and tries to push open the doors. We started feeding her a night. DH said if by January she still comes by we'll take her to the vet and get her check out to keep her. Yay! Well, the other night I lost it. She had not been around in days. I started to ugly cry. Then I started to worry where she will sleep when it rains and when it gets cold. I could not stop crying. DH has since ordered a bed for her for the porch.

This is how we ended up with our cat.

Okay, this is kind of cheating because it was from my last pregnancy, but I haven't done too much of the crazy this time, so here it is: DH and I were driving to an appointment and he had stopped for McDonald's breakfast for me. I LOVED those Southern Chicken biscuits that they had for a promotion at the time, so he got me one. I bit into the sandwich, and there was a piece of fat in the chicken. I lost my shit. I started screaming and crying and ranting about McDonald's, and chickens in general. So I am sobbing over this stupid sandwich, and DH says he will get me another, but I refuse. Then I took the sandwich and meant to throw it at the back window (I swear!) but instead, totally missed and hit DH in the head with it!

This morning, I decided to get back in bed and finish my tea. I was already dressed and my husband was still asleep. He was dreaming and twitched really hard. My tea spilled all over my pants. I immediately burst into tears. Not because I was burned...but because my panties were soaking wet. I cried and cried. My husband apologized but thought it was funny that he had "made my panties wet" I got irritated at him for making the joke and cried some more. But at least the sheets were in the wash when I got home :-)
