vent away...

edited January 2014 in December 2013 Moms
Feel free to vent on this thread. I Def need to AGAIN....
Omg...wtf. my BIL and SIL are stillllll here...finally found them a house then their car breaks down...so they don't want the house until their car is fixed...and if they don't get the house or put $ down to reserve it, it can be taken. Like wtf. Seriously I know you are family and all...but pls get yalls own house. I have to lock my own cat in our room Bc theirs are fucking assholes and fight with my cat...my house smells like cat shit. I don't know how much longer I can take this. I'm really trying not to scream...
Thanks for reading. I just have to vent somewhere. Sighhhh :((

@soozerella also sorry I didn't make it to the BF group yesterday...we are trying to help inlaws find a house. I seriously had to push SIL out the door and keep asking questions about houses for us to go look for some Bc she didn't know if she wanted to look for some yesterday.... Anyways if you give me a time and address I will make it to another one!

Re: vent away...

  • My vent is just that I need my baby to sleep for more than 3.5 hours at night. His second wake up is often only 2-3 hours. He is already over 11 1/2 pounds and he is still starving all the time. I'm a STM and I know I just need to be patient, but it's tough and I feel even more depressed after reading the thread about how well all the other babies are sleeping.

  • I feel ya...I. sorry I hope He starts sleeping longer soon! Sounds like he is going through a constant growth spurt
  • Sorry bout your in law situation! My vent is that I got sick last night and threw up and needed to take a shower around midnight because I was freezing cold.. I ended up curled up on the bathroom floor dreading LO waking up to BF.. I feel so guilty about that but it really makes me wonder why I'm not pumping yet.. I didn't get much sleep and haven't gotten anything done today as a result :(
  • Right me too! Would much rather have a house. Bc that was the only one they found....sighhhh. I would go nuts without a house. I hate not having my own house. I just go in my room Bc H would probably say something...and its easier and doesn't smell like cat shit in my room

    Oh yuck I hope you feel better soon! It's hard to take care of your LO while sick. I did it for a day and ended up having to go to the hospital cus I was so sick. I hope you feel better and get some help so you can rest!

Hope yalls babe's go to sleep! Bc I know they get super cranky and overtired if they don't sleep during the day. Sorry ladies!
  • Sorry about your ILs :S mine drive me crazy too.

    Here's my vent. I pack up one sleepy baby and head to the doctor's for my IUD placement this afternoon. My appointment started a half hour late so by the time the Doctor got to me the little guy woke up and started to fuss because he always wants to eat as soon as he wakes up even if he just ate and went down 10 minutes before. I manage to calm him back down and end up having to pass him off to a nurse to take out of the room because they're worried about me being relaxed to place the IUD. This is where the real fun begins, the Doctor cleans my cervix and then tries pushing the probe through to measure my uterus before placing the IUD. Between the fact that I didn't get to dilate before my son was taken out via emergency c section, and that I probably can't dilate properly anyway because of LEEP scar tissue, it was excruciating! The Doctor wasn't comfortable placing the IUD with me in such pain just with the probe so she gave me a prescription to dilate my cervix and an appointment for next week to do it all over again. Ouch. 

    I retrieve my LO, feed him, and head to the bank for a quick errand. I have a big fluffy super warm cover on LO's car seat that has a hole just above his face but still keeps him very toasty and protected from the elements, to the point where I have to be really careful with him overheating. So I park five steps from the front of the bank and even though I'm just running in and out I do the right thing and take the baby in with me in his carrier instead of leaving him in the car. On my way back to the car some male stranger chases me down to tell me how the women in the bank were concerned that my baby wasn't "covered" even though I showed him he was, just because of the small opening. REALLY?! You chased me down just to criticize my parenting???! Not to mention now you have me standing here keeping him in the cold instead of putting him instead my vehicle which I've left running to stay warm for him. Thanks sir....

  • My vent is this is my first week home alone with LO and it has really tested my anxiety issues. LO seems to not be feeling well today. She's extra fussy, gassy and spitting up more - gas drops and colic calm don't seem to be helping. I told DH this and said I really need his help tonight and he said that was fine. Now he just texted me and said he's going to go out to dinner with his co-workers after work. How is that helping me? I don't usually pitch a fit about him going out because it's rare but I think he is about to get an angry phone call from me.

    I'm sorry about that! It really gets to me sometimes when DD is really cranky and fussy and won't stop. I wanna cry sometomes. That would make me mad if DH did that...clearly you seem a little over whelmed. Hopefully he isn't gone for long. I would also be giving him an angry phone call too...His priority Is not going to dinner with Co workers anymore
  • My vent is that my 6- week appointment was today and when I got there the doctor had just left for a delivery. So I have to wait 2 more weeks for clearance for sex and exercise :-(

    Why 2 more weeks??? That sucks! I'm sorry :(
  • @mightymousy .... what a lousy day! :( I hope it gets better!

    My vent... E is miserable today.  He's been having gas and tummy issues for almost 3 weeks now.  My pedi recommended a switch to gentlease, which isn't helping at all.  For three days now,  he's been having a ton of trouble pooping and it's green liquid diarrhea. His baby acne is only getting worse and spreading, and he's rubbing his face more than usual.  He's been up, inconsolable for 6 hours,  and is finally napping in his swing. I called and talked to a nurse who thinks we need to wait out the formula switch longer, which I understand it takes time,  but he's only getting worse. I scheduled an appointment for tomorrow anyway. My mom instincts tell me something else is going on.  Hate to see my baby so miserable.

    That was the earliest they had another appointment. TBH I was really more excited about being able to work out again then the sex part. (Early FFFC?)

    Haha. That's okay ;) sex after having a baby is kinda scary.
  • I am tired. And I'm sick of not being my normal size...I know it takes time and feel free to mentally backhand me after I say this...but with DS1 and DD I had already lost all of the weight and was in my pre pregnancy clothes by 6 weeks postpartum. Well I passed the 6 week mark a couple of days ago--weight can feel free to vacate at any time now. My maternity clothes are waaaay to big but my normal clothes are too small...uugh.

    Oh man I'm sorry!! :( unhappy baby=unhappy/worried mommy. I hope everything is okay with your babe. How long has he been on the gentlease formula? Yup same here with DD baby acne. Sometimes it doesn't look so bad then some days it looks horrible.

  • Thanks ladies! *HUGS* all around!

    OMG yes this...This was my first. I thought I would already be back to pre pregnancy weight especially with BF. Ummm nope. I hate it and feel fat as hell. I had to buy new pants Bc I know my pre pregnancy ones don't fit. I'm sure you will lose the weight soon though :)

    My vent is that I'm having trouble taking care of myself when taking care of 2 kids. I'm constantly forgetting to eat and barely drink any water( or anything for that matter) it's causing me to have major headaches. I'm mad at myself. Need to start setting alarms to do these things and I feel stupid and lousy for forgetting about my own needs..

    ETA: made a pizza as soon as I wrote this, took it out of the oven and it started to fall and I caught it with my hands. Needless to a say I'm on my way to the er as I literally just burnt the skin off of my hand. Why pizza gods, WHYYYYYYYY?!

    @rachel2011 I'm the same way my hips are forever widened :( I hope you start feeling better. FWIW everytime we have sex it is still a tad uncomfortable and I hope that one day soon it feels normal again.

    @Mmc0323 cutos to you! Idk how all you ladies with 2x kids do it. Especially with them both still in diapers. Pure craziness! That's why we are waiting 3-4 yrs for our nxt. You are definitely not stupid or lousy for forgetting. You are a mom, we always seem to put our families needs (DH, kids, pets) before ours.

    Edited...Omg this autocorrect is pissing me off!
  • @myeverything1203 I'm 7 weeks pp tomorrow so I thought I'd be ok for sex but that wasn't the case. I had to have him stop because I couldn't handle it. I know it won't feel good for a while but I at least want to be able to make it through the whole act without wanting to cry. I'll probably need to be a little tipsy to try again.

    Yup! I was so scared. I told DH to go really....really slow. Lol. We haven't tried it while I was tipsy yet...but maybe we should. Lol.
