What made you cry lately?

I'm not an overly emotional person, even while being pregnant, but the stupidest thing made me cry yesterday.

DD has been sick all weekend, and in her frustration/not feeling well, she threw her hands up in the air and slammed them down (with her cup in one hand) while we were sitting on the couch and accidentally smashed the cup into my nose - right where it automatically makes you tear up.  So tearing up from being hit in the nose led to me just losing it crying for a few minutes because I was so tired from being up w/ her sick ,plus pregnancy insomnia, and because I just felt bad that she felt crappy and I couldn't make her feel better, and because she looked minorly distraught that I was crying, and because it's the last few weeks of her being the only LO, and who knows what else.  It was silly and over in about 2 minutes, and then I laughed at myself.

Re: What made you cry lately?

  • Ha! Everything makes me cry.  I am an emotional person and cry easily anyway, but lately obviously it's way worse.

  • I stubbed my thumb yesterday and sobbed for an hour. It hurt, but not that bad, it was just the final straw in a yucky weekend.

  • I cried in the grocery store Saturday. DH and I split up to get items, but then I couldn't find him. My back was hurting so bad and he had the cart I needed to lean on. After 5 minutes of roaming, I found him and burst into tears because I was tired, in pain, and just emotional. All he could do was smile when he saw the tears and me telling him we need to go home.

     

  • Just today?  "Landslide" by Fleetwood Mac coming on the radio on the way to work.  Hormones + bad sleep = everything is worth crying over.

  • I have been trying to finish up loose ends in the nursery (washing clothes, hanging artwork etc). I was doing a load of baby clothes and after putting them in the dryer forgot about them. The next morning I remembered I left them in over night and started sobbing because they would be wrinkled. So ridiculous.
  • EVERYTHING makes me cry OR makes me pissy . I'm getting to wear I feel fat / huge in everything I wear. My feet, ankles and legs swell so bad I'm down to just a few shoes. This morning I cried when I got to work for no reason at all . I'm just a wreck !

  • Thinking about my DD going to school and getting bullied made me cry Saturday. I'm glad I won't be pregnant when she actually starts school!

  • Every night I cry because my sil refuses to respond to our requests that she get the tdap vaccine (she is a nurse at an elementary school. We think it is most important for her to get it.). And every night dh promises to talk to her about it the next day. Last night I was in hysterics. Our entire relationship she has been unreasonable and he just lets her get away with it. She ruined my wedding ( yelling beforehand that I stole her brother -????) and now she's giving me undue stress before baby. So I cry every night over her.
  • I was joking around with MH and while he was crouched down, I lightly kicked his butt but hit him a bit harder than I had meant to.  It didn't hurt him by any means but I felt so bad and started sobbing!  He had to keep reassuring me that he was fine. 

    Also, the puppy commercial had me in tears! And I almost cried during the military homecoming one but held it together because we were with strangers.

    pure and simple, stop worrying and just put your foot down if she doesnt get a vaccine.  She's had time, I would probably even talk to DH and let him know that he can't invite or accept her coming over unless she gets the shot.  Price of admission (and her choice in the end)

  • One day last week I really, really wanted a Panera breakfast sandwich... but it was 3 PM. I fought tears for the better part of an hour. If I had been at home, I guarantee I would have ugly cried.

    On Friday night, my husband and I had two restaurants in mind to go to for dinner.  We decided that if the first one had a long wait, we'd go to the other because it normally doesn't have a wait.  Well, both places had super long waits.  So he suggested another place.  We drove by and could see inside that there was a large crowd waiting.  By that point, I was frustrated because I was hungry, we couldn't find any place to go and he wanted me to choose another place.  So I started cried.  

    PS.  He felt really bad that I started cried and we ended up finding a place to go.  We sat at the bar and ate and ended up having one of the best nights we've had in a long time!  :-D

  • Any sort of commercial or video involving any sort of reunion.  Puppy, military, etc.  Yesterday, the puppy Budweiser commercial made me cry.  My husband has just started to ignore me at this point.  I told him it's better that I'm a blubbering idiot for simple heartfelt stuff versus a fiery hormonal bitch.

    Me too!! It was so stinkin cute!

  • I spent three and a halg days in the hospital after having DS2. DS1 was getting rowdy without me ao I came home for the night. He spent the whole day attached to FI and wouldn't so much as smile at me. Finally, bed time came and he refused to let me tuck him. Daddy had to. He also made sure to give FI a ton of hugs and kisses and kept telling him how much he loved him. All of this is the complete opposite of usual. I still gave him a kiss on the head and told him I lived him and he looked away from me and said "No!". So I went to bed and bawled my eyes out to the point of hyperventilating.

    A few minutes later, he came to my bed looking for FI. I think he understood how upset I was and gave me a hug and apologized (cue sobbing episode all over again).

    This made me cry and all those Olympics and mom commercials
  • DS' current favorite movie is Dumbo. When they take his mama away I lose it every time.

  • My DS not being the only child. DH saying the kids will have chores when they get older and he's gonna sit on the couch and do nothing. It reminded me of my childhood and I lost it.
  • DH needs back surgery. And it will be Atleast 1 month recovery of doing practically nothing and then another 2 months of rehab. This couldn't come at any worse of a time being our LO is expected in just under 8 weeks
  • The Olympics are coming up, and there's always sad sappy stories. I know I'll be crying a lot.

  • Found a lump on my furbaby's cheek on Saturday... grabbed the ipad, started Pet MD'ing the shit out of it, convinced myself it was dog mouth cancer, started crying hysterically thinking about our LO not growing up with our amazing pup - and was beside myself all day on Sunday. 

    DH took her to the vet this morning, turns out she may just have a minor infection or got stung by something. And the Vet is not concerned at all... 

    But my crazy baby brain was convinced it was cancer and the tears were rollin for 48 hours... i'm insane...

  • The puppy Budweiser commercial made me cry also. Lately, I cry at any sappy song, especially ones that talk about babies and growing up. I have to turn the station so I can drive without bawling.

    The parenthood episode where the couple with the two kids separated. The dad was telling the kids he was moving out and the daughter grabbed him, crying, telling him not to leave. I cried with her and then got ticked that he left anyway.

  • I cried over the puppy and horse Budweiser commercial. The living room full of drunk guys just looked at me ackwardly but no one dared to say anything lol
  • -DS's daycare closed which was really stressful; last week was his last week there and I cried pretty much every day at drop-off and pick-up.  He kept saying "are you crying again?" 
    -His best friend made him a card that makes me cry everytime I see it or think of it.
    -That Blackfish documentary about the orcas and seaworld - cried through the whole thing.
    -Macklemore performance at the Grammy's - sobbed through the whole thing.
    -Phillip Seymour Hoffman dying.

    This is embarrassing for me but I'll give you a list and I'm sure it will make you feel like a champ. Now keep in mind I am one of those strange people that don't even cry at the funeral, I cry at home afterwards, sometimes. Here it goes...

    1. I had to ask DH for help moving a bottle of spray and wash off the floor so I could sweep the floor there. It really hurts to bend over anymore. So I cried.

    2. I felt lame because on our anniversary last Friday I kept falling asleep on the couch snoring loudly. Cried again.

    3. Saturday we planned to actually go out for our anniversary but I guess I took too hot a shower and had to nap before we left. I was embarrassed so I cried, again.

    4. My crotch is swollen and I had to ask DH to get me an ice pack after sexy time. I cried but this one made sense because it was really uncomfortable.

    5. As we are out celebrating 2 years and shopping for new sheets my mom tells my DH that one of my little brothers tried killing himself. He tried throwing a toaster into the bathtub and when that failed he tried cutting. I cried because I have no way of contacting him as he did check in to a mental hospital where they won't even let him have a crayon. I also cried because one of my other brothers tried something like this just last year and it scares me to no end. So I guess this one is fair and ligit.

    6. Now yesterday I ugly cried because DH constricted me to the couch with my feet elevated. He was scared by how incredibly swollen my feet got after being awake for only an hour and doing some laundry. What made me ugly cry was that he was doing all the laundry that I was trying to do and I felt bad. Who cries because their man is doing housework!? What is wrong with me!

    7. I attempted to escape my couch-prison yesterday and so DH slapped the bottom of my foot. I cried so hard because it should not have hurt the way it did.

    8. I just teared up thinking about the slap on the bottom of my foot. Why are my feet so stupid!

    I feel a lot better sharing and I hope it makes someone out there feel less alone in their crazy pregnancy hormones.

  • @MA&CB I watched the black fish too and bawled so hard. I live like 10 minutes away from a seaworld and felt so terrible for all of those animals.

  • I was saving this for FFFC but I'll share here :)

    I feel like I've lost my butt since my hips have spread out more and I haven't been able to keep up with squats. I asked DH if it looked any flatter today and he said yes. So I cried... Over my butt, or I guess the lack thereof!

  • The ending to Captain Phillips.  Such a good movie... cried like a baby. 
  • I cried at 3am because my phone died and I couldn't reach my phone charger without getting out of bed. Insomnia + no smart phone to distract me = tears.
    @CHalePhoto this is my favorite reply so far ;)

    I know, it was so disturbing and sad on so many levels!  I can never go to Seaworld again!  I cried even just telling MH about it all later.

    I gotta watch this.  Maybe I'll wait until after I have the baby... or at least I night when I'm home alone and can ugly cry haha.  DH watched in while traveling for work and I nearly cried when he explained the crying of the mothers when their babies were being grabbed out of the ocean... :(
  • So this is definitely a first world problem but it doesn't feel like it when you're in this situation.

    I'm 37 weeks and I've been having mild irregular contractions all day. Normal pre-labor stuff. I'm not really concerned but I am quite uncomfortable.

    So I went to take a warm bath. I go through the work of cleaning the bathtub that we never use and the cats think is a bed which was difficult to do causing me to cry. Then I fill the tub with what felt like warm water when I was filling it. I step into the tub and it's not warm, it's not even quite lukewarm. It's just a little past downright cold. So I try to run some more hot water into the tub and it comes out hot for a second then turns to ice. At this point, I'm cold, cramping, and getting very emotional. I call my husband to help me get out and when he walks in I'm balled up shivering and crying. There are worse times to run out of hot water, but having contractions is definitely a bad one. Just another sucky thing about being 9 months pregnant in the winter.

    Don't watch The Cove then. Its so much more difficult to watch. It's an important movie to see though.

    I watched during a spout of insomnia so no one could witness my tears. It so sad what they do to them. I hate it and will never go to seaworld again!

  • I've been much less emotional lately (surprisingly). I'm sure that means an epic meltdown is in my near future.
