Monday Bitchfest!

awc1986 · April 2014

Early bird edition!

Whut? I'm on maternity leave and am at least 5 hours ahead of everyone else.

Anyway, my bitch today is that now i'm getting to the end i'm totally sick of people giving me this look in public:

It's not like my waters are gonna break on their shoes in the grocery store.

Or is it? :-?

SMM1986 · April 2014

Seriously. I made a comment to DH about how I'm accosted while I'm out. We went shopping and stuff on Friday and at least 10 people made a comment. I'm like "do you see this?" And then I must seem rude because I'm not all enthusiastic when the millionth person asks if I'm excited. Even my kids are like "yea..." when asked. Even my neighbor who I hardly know says crap like "not getting anywhere?" Ummm yea actually I'm getting closer everyday but thanks for reminding me it's taking forever.

My actual bitchfest is just me fucking screaming. Awful pregsomnia last night, combined with the sunburn I got from DDs unexpectedly long softball game and my goddamn back feeling like it's breaking in half. Eff.
I'm fucking done now.

Jennyinheaven · April 2014

I'm familiar with the looks, had to take my wedding rings off so now I am a super pregnant, unmarried swollen mess with a few stained maternity shirts as the only thing that still fits, so yeah I feel pretty. My bitch of the day, I got super excited for a lemon gelato yesterday, went to the water ice place, no lemon:( Im still upset about this and still craving it.

I'd love it if you just said, "No. I'd rather party. Would you like to buy my baby?"

My bitch is the weather. Yesterday was 80 degrees and sunny. I slept with the windows open last night and it was beautiful. Today it's raining, but the high will be around 70. Tonight we're expecting snow. SNOW! WTF?!?!!?? Winter is OVER! Knock this shit off!

Roufi · April 2014

I'm so over family gatherings with my in-laws right now. All this at my niece's 2nd bday party last night.

Family drama bullshit, one sister isn't talking to FIL (her stepfather) for x reasons and couldn't even be bothered to say two words to me. She even left early without speaking to anyone because "nobody was talking to her". Bitch please, ain't nobody got time to indulge her BS.

every time little man jumped on my bladder they're all "contraction???". No. Pee! I'm not about to give fricking birth at my niece's bday party.

And words of greeting from MIL: "looks he's dropped (no...). Your face looks swollen/bloated (as though this is some sort of...compliment? I don't even know. And no. It isn't thanks, though it has filled out slightly over the past 37 weeks)." Insert repeated belly gropings, CERTAINTIES about when he'll come, comments about when he is or isn't allowed to get here, questions about dr's appts (none of your business). I'm becoming a hermit as of now.

pistolpackinmomma · April 2014

My MIL sucks (thank god I didn't have to see her this weekend, I'm already dreading next weekend) but there's too much there to bitch about. DS was talking to himself at 5 this morning. It woke me up and then he went back to sleep. He's just now waking at 9 am so I'm ready for a nap and he's going to be wired. He's also been fighting naps/bed and I have an appt today so my grandma will be doing nap today. Today could be interesting.

ns1 · April 2014

I agree with the being-a-spectacle bitch. Urgh. I'm over it. Yes, I'm pregnant. Yes, I'm big. No, you don't really care when I'm due / what sex the baby is / what the name is / etc., because if I see you again you'll ask me the same questions!! Just carry on!

Also, this is more of a feeling guilty bitch...my parents came down this weekend and I feel like I was a big annoying stick in the mud. I'm all hormonal and edgy. And I tried not to show it, but I kept getting mad at my mom for stupid little things like carrying DD like a baby wherever we went, letting DD do something after I wouldn't, etc. They're here grandparents; it's what they do; they hardly ever see her; it's only 2 days. I should've let it slide, but I'm all grumpy pants and need to get a grip. Now I feel like I just wasted 2 days with my parents and they probably think I'm just a mean nasty mom/wife/person and will dread coming when the baby gets here.

haylo33 · April 2014

My bitch for the week is the fact I still have 6 weeks to go. 41 days makes me feel better but when I think of it in weeks, I get depressed! And my co workers seem to think I'm due sooner because they keep telling patients "she's having a baby in like 2 weeks!!" Uhhh no try 6. Even my family thinks time is barely moving. I feel great but now that the shower is over and everything is basically ready, all I need is baby.

Lild09 · April 2014

SIL baby shower yesterday, I get up to use the bathroom bc I'm freaken 9 months pregnant and have to pee all the time and my husbands aunt is all like omg I hope she's not going into labour! Screw off lady, ugh! Also about everyone there who was at my shower a month ago "omg it's coming soon! Are you scared? Are you nervous? Oh wow any day now!"
Thank you captain obviouses I didn't realize my due date was so soon! Ugh

hbird0723 · April 2014

Love the glif! I had a lady at the store the other day watch me pick something up that wasn't even that heavy and said we don't want ya going into labor on us. Seriously and the you're not gonna make it comments those are not ok either! I am also so done with work!!

stina76 · April 2014

ErikaLynn75, my bitch is the weather! This is my first day of spring break and it's cold and rainy and supposed to start snowing by 3. Really, it's April 14th!!! I work with a lot of young teachers (right out of college) and they are all off in warm tropical climates right now. Yep, I'm a little jealous!! : ) I need to use them time to work on the nursery, but just can't get myself to do it! Only 4 weeks to go, I don't know what my problem is!

Re: being a spectacle... I highly recommend going to a mall type place, sitting down and watching the way people stare at babies. Stare. Open mouth stares while making funny faces and giving lots of input. I found that I got more comments and stares and attention after DD came out.

Very true. How did I forget that?? And I am totally one of those people. Oops. That's why I loved the Moby. Most people didn't notice a baby was in there and no one dared to touch her.

sheriot · April 2014

MIL is way, way too involved in my life.

I feel like absolute shit today and want to have this baby now.

Re: being a spectacle: on Friday night I was standing in the living room watching TV with H and MIL. I heard the "click" of a camera phone and didn't think anything of it until I realized it wasn't on TV. I turned to MIL. She was staring at me trying to take a side-shot of my belly, but when I looked at her she tried to play it off like she wasn't.

Me: "Did you...did you just take a picture of my belly?"

Her: "Hm..? No...I..." Looks away.

Me: "Why don't I send you one? I take one every week for HDBD." She just acted uninterested and looked away. I went upstairs, sent her one, and came back downstairs.

Me: "Better?"

Her: "Yes. I just think you need to show your family how big you are. How beautiful you are, I mean."

Doesn't get much creepier than trying to take a picture of someone without them noticing. Also, F that "how big you are" comment. I'm huge, I get it. I have to beluga around like this all day everyday.

ksyknelvr73 · April 2014

I got inundated with comments all weekend, so my bitch is pretty much the same as most of the PP's.

My mom told me that this time "my face isn't nearly as full as it was with DS" - I mean, a compliment I guess for this time...but thanks for telling me I was fat last time.

I was walking DS in his stroller around our neighborhood last night, and my neighbors rode by on a golf cart...neighbor says "Hey waddles!". I'm not even waddling (yet)...STFU. In fact, I am out exercising. Leave me the hell alone.

Everywhere I went all weekend I got bombarded with questions about when I was due and people just giving me sympathetic looks, etc. I had to take an exam on Saturday and one of the people working at the testing center says "Don't go into labor on us!". Well I promise I won't TRY to. Just everyone please shut the hell up.

dogsombrero · April 2014

It was 80 here Saturday and then snowed last night.

Our only employee lost power/heat etc to the top story of his house and isn't coming in today and it's really busy, plus he's still in training for handling the shop when we leave for birth. I know it's not his fault but it's really fucking annoying. I get a minimum stay of 3 days and DH isn't going to be able to hold his hand during that time. Seriously they are in denial that I'm leaving soon, and my water will probably break at my damn desk.

If one more customer declines work we've quoted then comes in a week or 2 later complaining about the same damn thing they chose to ignore last visit I'm going to start stabbing.

Whew! I'm a little tense now.

FlemDance · April 2014

So, at work we have a small staff lounge with a private bathroom attached. Now, while it's private, you can CLEARLY hear everything that is going on in there from the lounge. I cannot STAND when people actually lounge in the room while I'm dropping deuces, particularly when I'm in there first and you can hear everything the second when you walk in. I get that it may be your prep hour, but please, relax in your classroom! I cannot understand how reading the newspaper and listening to me grunt, fart, and make splashing noises with my turds is even remotely relaxing and lounge-worthy.

keeumm · April 2014

Re: being a spectacle:

My mom (who has not been a favorite person of mine for a long time) just informed me that when she comes to meet the baby this summer, she will be bringing my sister and my neice. My sister and I are lukewarm at best, and my niece, though adorable, is only 1 year old. My mom thinks it is a great idea for both of them to drive 16 hours (from WI to MD), then stay for 2 days, then drive back. Never mind that we are planning on going back to WI at the end of the summer for a meet and greet, and my sister and niece could easily wait until then to meet our new baby.

Mom then added to the adventure that her cousin (whom I have never met) might be driving down from Maine to MD to hang out and meet me and the baby. Since, you know, she's been following my progress through my mom. WHAT?? Am I in a museum that I should know about? Come see the FTM and her new baby.

I should charge admission.

biscuitsgirl2007 · April 2014

BH contractions/irritable uterus can suck it. I can't get up without having one anymore and they've gotten more intense over the past week. I feel useless.

jsaffer01 · April 2014

My bitch is, it's gorgeous out, 75 degrees and I'm working so I don't get to enjoy the nice day. Esp since it's suppose to rain tomorrow. I kind of want to cancel the rest of my clients just so I can enjoy the rest of the day..

YES!! And what is with people making faces at toddlers trying to eat in restaurants?? We were at Applebee's and DS was eating great until some person (not trying to be mean but I really couldn't tell male/female) sat down at the table next to us and started making faces at him and trying to play with him. Seriously??? We are eating!!

jenb_99 · April 2014

My bitch is that I'm just grumpy in general, so everything and everyone is on my nerves.

Um $:\$ "> I have to be honest here this is me, I have wanted a child for so many years (a sticky pregnancy was a hard won battle in my case) and when I see cute kids I can't help but smile at them and wave or something. I do always sorta try and catch the eye of the parent so they know I am not a crazy baby napper or anything though.

jenb_99 · April 2014

Wait. I did think of a specific one after all.

For the past two days it feels like DD has been doing a handstand on my hip bones, like seriously putting one hand on each bone and pressing straight down. OMG the pressure, the pain!

I worked out last night with my support belt on as is necessary these days, and with every step it felt like I was grinding something into my hip bones. It was especially bad with high kicks, to the point that I had to skip those and walk in place.

I hopt it's not really her hands, and I wasn't actually smashing them into my pelvis with the belt, but damn, what else could it be?? It got even worse when I went to bed. Ow.

BeesKnees181 · April 2014

My bitchfest is that baby brain got the best of me this morning. I left the house, drove my usual 30 minute commute into work, parked my car, and as I waddled my way up the steps to the office I realized that I had forgot my work computer at home. Yay! Guess who got to drive all the way back home and then back to work this morning? Effing ridiculous. To make it worse...I get home, unlock the door, use the restroom (because all I do is pee lately), and decide that I should put on a nicer outfit. Said "outfit" is not really that much nicer, but it does cover my egg shape better. I then proceed to leave the house and as I lock the door I remember...oh yea, I need to get that computer. Thank goodness I remembered a second time.

ditto. i'm the creeper staring at your baby. I didn't have fertility issues, but finding a decent life partner was a long adn slow process for me. so i kept myself sane by creepily watching your babies.

they're cute!

Staring or watching isn't as bad. It's the distracting him when he was eating that bugged me. There was a wooden divider thing and he/she kept tapping their fingers along the divider and playing peek a boo with him. After they started that he wouldn't pay attention to his dinner and just wanted to play.

rainydayluck · April 2014

I've been getting annoyed with all these random people posting. I pop on and feel like I recognize none of the posters, then I click on their history and they have one or two posts. I'm also just grouchy and pissy in general lately, so it may just be me.

sheriot · April 2014

I have another one. Just heard from HR about my maternity leave "benefits." Our company has the shittiest policy. I will basically lose a week's worth of pay and then will get paid a fraction of my paycheck for four weeks. Not looking forward to telling H about this. We definitely budgeted for something WAY different.

chillypenguin · April 2014

I have had one of the hardest days I have ever had with DD. She has pitched fit after fit all.day.long. I am now completely terrified of having 2u2.

awc1986 · April 2014

So LO's crib and dresser are being delivered tomorrow and we finally got our timeslot: 12:00-19:00. So basically the entire useful part of the day then? That's not really a time slot is it? That's just a day. D-bags.

Marcella05 · April 2014

Bitch 1: There should be mandatory paid leave for women who hit 36 weeks so they can peacefully prepare for what's to come and deal with some of these symptoms in private. I don't want to use my maternity leave for that - that's for baby time. I need me-time. [Called in sick today because all I wanted to do was sleep. Fuck it.]

Bitch 2: I love my extended family, but they keep wishing for me to have my baby early so I can make it to my cousin's wedding. I don't necessarily WISH to have a premie, so I'm getting tired of hearing it. I would prefer this baby cook as long as needed to be healthy and lower risk of complications. The wedding isn't my concern. If it works out, great. If not, I'll send you a card.

Bitch 3: husband still hasn't quit smoking. He knows how much I hate it and that he needs to stop before baby gets here, so why keep smoking these last few weeks? I just want a healthy, happy husband when it's time for me to deliver our baby boy - not one who is craving nicotine and irritable for quitting cold turkey. Get your shit together.

I'll see your 'people distract my toddler in restaurants' and raise you 'people distract my toddler in church.' On one hand, it's awesome that so many of the oldies think my son is sweet and adorable. On the other hand, my husband helps with the service so I'm by myself dealing with a squirming toddler who starts laughing and proclaiming during the quiet parts because the people behind us are waving and making faces. In the moment, it feels like all these sweet old people hate me and want to ruin my happiness. (ETA It seems like a raise because there's a decent chance you at least don't know the person in a restaurant. In church, I know these people. And it's church, and I usually like most of them, so I can't just unleash Pregnar upon them.)

KBowen715 · April 2014

The sweet looks, turned sympathy, turned utter look of horror from every passer-by I encounter.

I'm sick of talking about it. Yes, I'm pregnant. Yes, I'm huge. I'm also hungry, emotional, and generally angry.

Move, bitch, get out tha way.

My parents bought a bassinet when my first nephew was born. All 3 of my sister's kids used it, and now we have it. I measured the mattress pad so I could get new sheets for it and possibly a new pad as well. It's a 27x13 pad. All the bassinet sheets are fro 30x16. I can get a new pad in the right size, just can't get sheets for it. WTF.

I think my place of employment does the bare minimum. We can take up to 12 weeks off and come back to a job. But it's all unpaid. I can use vacation and sick time though. And luckily I have a short term disability plan. But that's it.

We have a custom-made cradle that DH's parents gave us for Christmas. It's the same size. Since the bassinet sheets are elastic the whole way around, the standard sheets actually fit better than you might think.

I have DH's restored cradle, it's also about the same size. I bought changing pad covers for the mattress, perfect fit.

I got the mattress pad of Amazon for it, if you message me I can send u a link. It's good quality and waterproof.
