Monday Bitchfest

janda426 · April 2014

How has this not been started yet? Let's hear about what pissed you off over the Easter weekend. And go!

mmb248 · April 2014

I woke up at the ass crack of dawn yesterday to drive to my hometown for church. An accident happened right in front of me when I was less than 15 minutes away. I spent 15 minutes waiting for the cops to show up and trying to calm the lady in the totaled car, then another 15 minutes explaining what happened to the cops before I could leave. By the time I got to church, I was 5 minutes late, there was no parking and my mom was furiously texting me that there were no seats left. So I said fuck it (sorry Jesus), went to Bojangles for some biscuits and had breakfast with my Granny.

And then my mom still bitched at me for missing church. Excuse me, but I was helping others. You know, like Jesus commanded.

ETA: Also, everything tastes or smells like fish.

We spent the weekend putting in a yard divider/retaining wall which involved a lot of digging. My out-of-shape unused muscles are very unhappy with me today.

H and I were both sick over the weekend. He has a cold and I had some kind of stomach bug. I'm working at home today just in case I need to stay near a bathroom. A bathroom with privacy, that is.

MrsMCBMar2014 · April 2014

WTF Body. First a huge temp drop and now horrible verigo up to and including nausea and double vision. NOT fun.

Boo hiss.

I busted my butt making potatoes au gratin for my in laws yesterday. MIL asked if I would make it and I was happy to do so. I've never made it before and love to cook, so I spent a long time compiling what I thought would be the best/most delicious recipe. I spent a lot of time yesterday slicing the potatoes thin, making an amazingly delicious white sauce, putting the casserole together, etc. I put it in the oven to cook for an hour, knowing it would probably need to cook longer. When I wasn't in the kitchen, someone moved it to the bottom rack so they could pop in appetizers for 5 minutes. They forgot to move it back up (and never told me it had been moved in the first place). When I checked on it an hour later the whole bottom of the dish was burned because it was too close to the heating element. GRRRRRR. It ended up still tasting delicious but I know a few people didn't even try it because the bottom looked so bad. I take cooking/baking very seriously and really hate it when something doesn't turn out exactly like I wanted.

That would upset me too. I get nervous when I have to cook for other people and it would be so frustrating to have someone mess up what I had prepared. When it's just me and H, I don't have a care in the world, but if it's anyone else, I get stressed.

We did dinner with my family which went as it always goes. I have 4 brothers and was SO excited when the first one got married 8ish years ago since I would finally have a sister. Three are now married and live locally so we had dinner with them and my parents.

I like two of my SIL's (the third is a spoiled brat) and have always done what I can to watch my nephews, host bridal and baby showers, and help however I could with their respective weddings whether I was in the bridal party or not. The issue is that all three of them gang up against me. One (not the brat) got her hair cut and a few highlights and the other two raved about it.... when I have also had a hair cut and drastic color change that none of them said a word about (the color change looks amazing and I am thrilled, so it's not like my hair looks like garbage or something). I've worked hard the past 3 months to lose weight, as has DH, but the SIL's all commented on how great he looks without a word about me. That's how my Easter dinner went. I took my nephews to a nearby park and two of them talked to each other the whole time. I just played with the nephews and had a blast climbing on the playground and pushing the older one on the tire swing.

My dad notices this every time it happens and made a few looks yesterday that said "Sorry they treat you like shit" but there's nothing he can do. It's just the way my family is. My brothers have always been really close and while DH gets along well with them he has always felt like they were assholes that he didn't want to spend loads of free time with. The way my brothers treated me when I was little is a completely different bitchfest that I don't want to get into now... to say they were mean is a huge understatement.

So that's my Monday Bitchfest which probably makes me sound like a whiny brat. TL;DR, my SIL's ignore me which sucks and my nephews are awesome.

MrsMCBMar2014 · April 2014

@lizabethc - I feel your pain. My SIL (DH's sister) isn't exactly the nicest to me either. She treats me as if I know nothing about raising a child (even though I have a 13 year old), but she constantly asks me for advice only to say "Eh, no, I'm not going to do that I'll just do it this way and that's that." Basically our nephew gets away with everything and when BIL corrects nephews actions, she undermines him and gives him back whatever BIL takes away, etc. It's bad. However, my other SIL (brother's wife) is awesome and we spend loads of time together. I hope things get better for you.

janda426 · April 2014

We are leaving for Europe in 3 weeks, saving everything we can to have spending money and whatnot, and H finds out today all 4 of his rotors (sp?) are rusted and need to be replaced to the tune of $630 fucking dollars. THATS LIKE HALF OF OUR SPENDING MONEY ALLOWANCE. Looks like I'll be eating fucking baguettes for breakfast lunch and dinner. I'm being somewhat overdramatic but seriously this puts a huge dent in our budget. It never fails.

Also, my FIL is a condescending know it all sometimes. I was red in the face pissed off at him at Easter dinner yesterday when he laughed about when H getting furloughed last year. He laughed when it happened too. What the fuck is wrong with you, are you going to pay our bills if it happens again you asshole? Ugh.

And to top it off it's the second to last week of the semester and I'm just stressed about finishing out with a bang. I am sooooo looking forward to summer, but really need to focus on passing chemistry.

We didn't get our spring break vacation.

janda426 · April 2014

@jj32‌ this price is through a family friend and basically only paying for parts and no labor... I asked my husband the same thing. Ugh. We have the money so we don't need to open a credit card but it'll take some extra saving and moving money around to achieve the same result we would've had without the extra work. But oh well, such is life I guess.

lizzyp9112 · April 2014

@Sassmaster33 and @MrsMCBMar2014 Thank you. It's a tough balance between being nice and standing up for myself. DH's sister and I could possibly be friends but they have serious boundary issues so we keep things at arms length. I'm so thankful DH understands and is so supportive though- yesterday I told him that I'm really glad he sees what is happening and is not blind to how they treat me.

@mmb248, I am glad the people in the accident were ok but that sucks that your mom was so mad about you being late/missing when it was for a legit reason. Jesus would have thought you were badass for stepping up in someone else's time of need. Also, biscuits count as breaking bread so it's like communion, right?

A girl I knew in high school commented on a picture of us at Disney World saying it was time to add a kid into our family. Seriously bitch?

Bitch 2- At Disney, children get tired and cranky. They act out. It's hot and humid. You get hungry. Your feet hurt. But the family that sat behind us in hall of Presidents was ridiculous. 5 kids all acting up and neither mom or dad did anything. Dad was taking a nap. 2 were slapping the shit out of each other. One put her face right next to mine and screamed in my ear then yanked my hair. One smacked my husband in the back of the head. We got up and moved asap, but I was shocked that they didn't even try to control their kids. After we moved down the row more, we watched them pull the same shit with the people that were next to us until they moved too.

I'm sorry but I kind of giggled at the image of a little girl screaming in your face out of nowhere. Sounds like she should have been screaming into her father's face to wake him up.

It straight up scared the shit out of me. I mean I'm almost asleep because it's hall of Presidents. Then all of a sudden a face pops right next to mine and just lets lose right next to my ear.

I'm so sorry, but I giggled too. I would have peed my pants if that happened to me!

My bitch is at myself. I play candy crush every night when I lay in bed before I fall asleep and I think it's affecting my sleep. I haven't slept good in three nights and as I fall asleep I see candy falling in my brain. Maybe I need to take a step back. Yes, yes I do.

divinemsbee · April 2014

The saga of the car and cell phone continues. I know I need to just let it go and trust that H is going to get this fixed, but it's hard. He now has my cell phone at work, which means I can't make the phone calls I wanted to this morning (because my cell and his work are the only phones we have, and he can't/won't learn how to dial out at work). It's so frustrating. I'm hoping that he talks to the insurance today and we can get in in the shop tomorrow morning. And that it's an easy fix.

I'm feeling really stressed because it seems like there's a lot on our calendar this week. I'm just feeling totally fried and quick-tempered.

I LOVE Candy Crush. C and I play it in bed at night, too. Then she'll nudge me and ask me to send her a life. I'm stuck on a level and got thisclose to beating it but I didn't want to pay for the extra moves it would've required to finish it. Such a diabolical trick, tempting you with cheats you can pay for. I won't give in, dammit!

My bitch: I have a wicked huge canker sore on the side of my tongue in the far back next to my molars. It aches so much and it makes eating a miserable task first with the bronchitis and now this. Will I ever enjoy a meal again?

JackoftheBox · April 2014

I'm late to the thread but here's mine.

We had DS's birthday and easter yesterday. We were at my cousin's for dinner and she just kept "reminding" everyone that the ham cost $60.00 and that we should all be so greatful to her and that we didn't need to let our kids waste it. JFC shut up about the ham already!

Secondly as it poured rain and i tried to get DS and all of his stuff out of the car for daycare we get about 2 steps from the door and the bag breaks. Diapers went everywhere b/c the plastic wrapping was open. I just stood there and put ds inside the door and started picking shit up.

This is the worst. I would have had a heart attack.

melsner · April 2014

My MIL called to bitch DH out yesterday, on Easter, about his decisions regarding my stepsons medical care. She is constantly up our ass about that kid. Because the woman who doesn't have enough sense to not get drunk off cheap beer every morning by 11 am knows how to better raise a kid than his very responsible parents. Never did get a 'Happy Easter' out of her.

MrsP924 · April 2014

WTF, "friend". What kind of person tells you that she's getting stressed out bc you tell her you miss her and want to see her? And then proceeds to tell you how your too negative (which how would she know if I was if she doesn't talk to me even to see what's up and I don't share what is up) and that I'm too stressed for her to deal with. How would she know? And if I'm stressed it's bc trying to get KTFU for over a year is stressful! And if I'm so stressed and negative wouldn't that mean I quite possible need a friend to be there for me and be supportive not disappear? So she basically told m she needed to back away from me and that she wants to see me but something is keeping her away from me. Seriously? Side note she is pregnant and was this way with me the last time she was pregnant. I know I shouldn't let this bother me she hasn't been a good friend to me. But I'm so hurt. It's like 10 years of friendship doesn't matter. Sorry for the rant. I'm just so hurt!

katietopaz · April 2014

WTF MIL. DH and I decided it would be nice to Facetime with our parents yesterday, since it was a holiday and they live out of state. We'd told his parents about the long weekend and how we'd been pulling super long hours working and volunteering at the 6 Easter services at our church, and were exhausted enough to go take a nap. MIL then had to make a crack about how instead of napping, maybe we could go outside and get some exercise.

I swear, we can't go a conversation with them without her not-so-sneakily badgering DH especially about the little pudge he's put on in the past six months. I know she wants what's best for him, but her approach is so obnoxious--she treats DH like a child. I'm glad she doesn't feel ballsy enough to say something to me about my weight. We get along fine, normally, but we're not THAT close, and I'd probably snap at her.

lizzyp9112 · April 2014

@DarcyHermione how much longer until his thesis is done? Can you maybe plan something fun for once it's over (even a night out at a great restaurant, or a night away somewhere)? If I were in your shoes I'd have a paper chain so I could count down the days then have something fun and relaxing planned for after that time...

hullabalou · April 2014

My d&c was Wednesday and I was totally fine that afternoon and all day Thursday and Friday....Saturday I was in the worst pain of my life. I was up all night again last night with horrible cramps and today I am running a fever. I finally caved and left message for my doctor but damn it I just want all of this to be over with.

Weekend was good but on my way out the door to work I slammed said door on my hand. Ice on it and took off my rings in case the swelling gets bad. At least it's my left!

Haha! I tell my H all the time I wish he played so he could send me lives. I'm about to tell you something that will blow your mind and waste hours of your day simultaneously. Manually change the time on your phone to 2 1/2 hours later when you run out of lives and you will have full lives again. Then just change it back before you go to bed.

You're welcome.

ETA: I won't pay either damnit!

Josie400 · April 2014

My friend has been TTC for 4 years (NTNP). She's had a cold/cough for the past month and has been to the doctor 3 times. She keeps getting pissed that they diagnosis her with a cold and tell her to take vitamins. She wants them to tell her it's pregnancy related even though all the tests are negative.
She's impossible to talk to and she is constantly bitching about it. She keeps saying there's absolutely no way she could have a cold for 5 weeks. No ....it's easier to believe she's pregnant even though the tests are negative and she has no idea if/when she's ovulating. God-forbid I say anything other than something that supports her delusion and is actually scientifically based.

SpartanChick88 · April 2014

@wishiwaspreggo‌ try Lysine... it's in the vitamin aisle and helps with all sorts of mouth afflictions

janda426 · April 2014

@MamaZEsquire‌ yeah I would've simply responded with "I thought you said you were paying for the trip."

I don't do keeping my mouth shut and letting it roll over.
