Monday Bitchfest

SCSmith2011 · June 2014

We're pregnant, you know we've got stuff to bitch about.

I've officially turned the corner to 2nd Tri and that means being hot all the time has set in. Last week this time I was sitting in my office with a long sleeve shirt and fleece on and I was still cold. Today I'm sitting here in a short sleeve shirt and I'm breaking out into a sweat (it's actually cooler here today than it was last week this time).

Also DH was given a big promotion that was effective May 17. They were supposed to announce it on the 23rd and they still haven't yet. WTF?!?!?!

CandEChicago · June 2014

I think everything is WTF moment for me right now. My body keeps throwing surprises at me...like I was at the grocery store and had a sudden craving for gummy bears even though I have not had them in years.

Also when I walk the dog I give the evil eye to any car that is turning and comes within 3 feet of me or the dog. There were a couple times where they have definitely got too close. I think a car hitting the two of us would be DH'S worst nightmare since his wife and dog would be in two separate ER rooms.

I have had a relatively easy pregnancy up until this point. Starting last Friday, anything I eat makes me feel super sick. We went out to eat twice with family and I'm a total waste of money. 3-5 bites and I can't eat anything else. It's lingering around again this morning and it's not welcome! It doesn't help that we had storms in the area overnight and DH was getting work phone calls till 2 am. He and I are running on about 4 hours of sleep.

Is it time to go home yet?!

Just the post I was looking for today! SO ANNOYED with everything. Cranky and tired since I was up until 2am helping DH with work and here I am, at work, where people are just stupid! OMG are the dishes in the dishwasher clean or dirty?! I don't know, freaking check! Why do I have to get up and walk over to the kitchen to check for you?? Loud clanging and sighing commences from the kitchen. Seriously?! I'm the EA, not the maid!!!

And I feel really bad because I yelled at my dogs yesterday because they wouldn't pose for a picture and were scared of the chalk board coming too close to them. What is wrong with me?!

Glad I'm not alone!! I'm going to have to come up with another strategy ... I got a couple pictures but they look terrified. Siiiiggghhhh.

youngcollegemom · June 2014

I couldn't agree more! Today isn't my day. I called into work today. I have been crying about everything.. I just want everything to be okay. Just want to sleep... that won't happen either.

amr196 · June 2014

We're staying at my boyfriends parents house for now until we get our own place. My moms house is literally three minutes away. He left to go fishing with a friend and was soposed to take me home first BUT NO. he just left and didn't even say bye so now I'm stuck here and pissed off. I would walk except for the fact that its 87 degrees out and I really don't want heat stroke

It's almost noon. It's still an hour from toddler nap time. I'm dead on my feet so he's watching Oso. I'm eating all his goldfish to keep nausea at bay. If I have one more "it's a girl" "if it's a girl I'm calling her Andy" or "you should have the kids bdays together in June so the Christmas baby doesn't get gyped" discussions I am gonna go off on someone.

Um, that might be the dumbest one yet. And would deserve you going off. Because celebrating 6 months early/late wouldn't give that child a complex at all.

For the record, DH is a 12/14 baby and I specifically asked him if he ever felt left out. the answer was no. A friend has a little girl born 12/24 and said it's all about making it a priority. Her daughter has a birthday party distinctly different from anything Christmasy.

KittianBride · June 2014

What not to bitch about? Other than extremes tiredness, ravenous appetite, & hormonal overload--the source of most of my bitchiness comes from the situation I'm in. Which was bad before I got knocked up, but has now become a whole new level of sucky-ness. Living on a tiny island (which may sound like paradise but actually leads to a new dimension of stir-crazy), working with my husband--actually sharing a desk with my husband 11-14 hours a day/6 days a week (love the man to death, but come on), having no social life or friends on island (work load=no free time) & wanting more than anything to get the F off this god-forsaken rock but knowing the responsibility of having a kid on the way means not quitting a paying-job before having something lined up---this is what is driving me bat-shit crazy. So there, like I said--no friends...leads to lots of pent up emotions.

blessdtxas · June 2014

I'm at a conference and I told my booth neighbor I was expecting, she decided she could tell her neighbors (she said hope you don't mind). Not a big deal, I will like never see these people again. My WTF moment was when the 2 guys simultaneously asked "do you know who the dad is?" Ummm excuse me?? 1. Who asks that? 2. It's none of your businesses 3. What kind of women do you run around with to think that question is necessary?!

Pros521 · June 2014

I just started working last week. And my MIL offered to watch DD, which is great bc I wasn't going to work to pay for daycare. I'm already over the idea of working, bc she keeps telling us all these days and vacations she's taking. My husband thinks it's no big deal and I think it's a huge problem. What did you think it meant when you offered to watch my kid????
I started two weeks later than I was supposed to bc she had last minute trips she went on and now told us two more weeks she won't be around.
I'm not taking off from a job I just started. My dad can watch the baby, but he didn't offer and he lives three hours away.
On top of all of this, MIL also lives three hours away. She offered to watch DD with the idea of moving. So far that's not in the cards anymore. Which means she is living with me 5 days a week.
Getting a job is going to kill me

briewong · June 2014

I absolutely HATE the question:

"..how are you feeling?.."

It irritates to me to no end.

Actually, im nauseous, feeling like shit, getting fat, my energy is lacking, and I can't fit into my clothes. How are YOU feeling, asshat?

DH is still out of town and it's been hell with my 1 yr old. She's been sick since the moment he left. So on top of taking care of her, missing a bunch of work, and morning sickness, I haven't sleep more than three hours a night due to pregnancy and DD waking up constantly over night. This morning I finally fell asleep around 1 AM and she woke up at 2 and was up until 5. We have to leave the house by 7! I'm.so.tired. And DH's internet is horrible and I haven't been able to talk to him since Friday. I just want to take a day off and sleep while DD is at daycare. If only I had any sick time (I recently was switched from payroll to temp payroll and they took away all of my personal time...awesome right?). I'm so cranky.

goatlady12 · June 2014

Everyone that talks to me annoys me. Not because they are saying annoying things. It's just because I feel like I'm being inconvienced by every word.

Also, MIL told me she's taking a grandparent's class. It's a class that teaches the changes in things like carseats and what not since the 80s. She told me on a day where talking to people seemed like a giant chore. I almost asked her if it's a class where they teach grandparents boundries. My ILs have serious boundry issues and I'm nervous about how that's going to go with baby.

aeseager · June 2014

I have not worked for the past five months. I was super excited to start substitute teaching to save up money for the baby. Then I passed out one day last week and threw up my lunch today. Not to mention the headaches have gotten out of control. Now I am terrified that I am going to make a fool of myself tomorrow at my first day of work. I just don't understand why at 13 weeks I am throwing up for the first time in the middle of the day. Up to this point it had only ever been within an hour of when I woke up.

jayellekay · June 2014

Most of my bitching is irrational, but whatever...

- I was on a business trip Friday and told my co-worker I was pregnant. She just looked at me like I had 3 heads and didn't even really acknowledge what I said.

- I was home alone with DD all weekend because DH was at a bike race out of state. DD was being especially squirrely, and I was pissed at DH because he didn't call me the very minute he finished his race. (Not rational, at all...I get it.) I was just really overwhelmed and wanted to sit and cry.

- I have a grad student who comes in and works in my (private) office 3 afternoons a week. I appreciate his help, but it means I have to hide my facebook & bumping. Not that he cares, but I want to set a good example and it's none of his business what I'm doing anyway.

So it's annoying that I have to be stealthy when he's here. Speaking of which, he'll be here any minute...gah.

This. Completely. My DH and ILs are from a different culture. One that seems to be ok with unannounced visits, rearranging my kitchen cabinets, and messing with my planting beds whenever they drop by unannounced. I'm SURE this will translate to some baby boundary issues, especially since DH often sees nothing wrong with it. X(

COMPLETELY RATIONAL Work Rants (I think):

1) Coworkers who warm up fish for breakfast in our breakroom. Who the heck eats fish for breakfast let alone in an office? I'm utterly disgusted by the smell and the thought makes me boil in anger.

2) Coworkers who don't know that I'm pregnant and who insist on asking, "Are you ok? You look exhausted." #DUH.

3) Coworkers who complain that their 8 hour sleep was interrupted by the birds chirpping outside of their window. Try having to go to the restroom 4 times a night.

4) Male coworkers who ask if I've recently had work done as they direct their eyes to my always covered chest area. WTH. Are you seriously asking me that?

BrideLinds · June 2014

I need to stay away from my SIL for the rest of my pregnancy. She told me that I'm going to gain so much more weight this time. I told her "actually I gained 45 lbs last time and expect to do about the same this time." Then my 17 year-old niece chimes in "I'm never getting pregnant because I don't want to gain that much weight." You know a typical teenage response. So I tell her not to worry about stuff like that because I eventually lost all the weight anyways. And then my lovely SIL feels the need to say "We'll it's different with you're second. Your body just stays the same."

Bitch, you don't know my body!

She also asked if I was still working. Uhhh, well DH is in school full time and I don't think quitting my job with another baby on the way is exactly responsible. I actually just told her "no" without the obvious reasoning behind my decision and she just gave me this look like I'm a bad mother or something.

Seriously have to stay away from her. Ok I'm done now

sarasarat · June 2014

OMG so happy to see this thread. Well, not happy, just feeling validated in my cranky feelings! I'm so agitated all the time:

1. I started a Twitter fight (not really a fight) with Sunny Anderson from Food Network.

2. I filed online complaints with the county about my two neighbors - one has a rooster and the other lets their dog yap all day and night. The two animals wind each other up and I couldn't take it anymore.

3. I re-started an old argument with my boss about a (in my opinion, really dumb) hiring decision he's making. Which is extra absurd because a) I won't have too much interaction with the person and 2) what the hell do I care I'll be leaving in December when the baby's born.

4. I haven't talked to my mom in 3 days (long for us) because I was crying to her on the phone about how sick/shitty/fat/scared I am feeling and she said "oh" and immediately changed the subject.

On the bright side, I have managed to avoid any arguments with my husband, even when yesterday he told me he was talking to his male co-workers about why do pregnant wives want to talk about being pregnant all the damn time.

Ok.... deep breath...

Annaess26 · June 2014

Oh just work.
I really gotta learn to breath and realize I cant do it all and ask for help. Its dofficult being the boss because I feel as tho people dont want to help me. But they know im pregnant. So I just gotta get used to this or it will be a long hot summer.

BRREATHHHH ***

maple1422 · June 2014

Gah, I just want a hug. A nice long hug, and maybe some sweet words that tell me I'm doing a great job and I should get some sleep. And then I just want to be hugged to sleep. It's not too much to ask I don't think because as soon as my head hits the pillow, I'm out.
