Monday Bitchfest

ADH0906 · July 2014

It's Monday. You know you wanna.

MrsSinner402 · July 2014

I hate summer for this reason: every weekend is busy with something. For example, we had a camping trip planned for the weekend of August 9th, but now instead of camping we have TWO weddings to attend on that day. Not sure how we will pull that off. We have SO much work to do in the nursery as its down to studs and subfloor and we pnly have two free weekends between now and beginning of September. If it weren't summer we'd have all the free weekends in the world! Also, it's our first really hot spell this summer here in Northern MI, and its going to be mid to high 80s and humid for the next few days. I hate humidity and hot weather. :-<

This may be better for FFFC but I'm so over the posts that someone gets all huffy when they hear a stupid comment. Really? We get it, people don't think when talking to pregnant women. Move on, let it go and don't make a new post about it.

Also, WTF weather? Last week it was in the low 70's and now the low 90's? No. Just stop.

bumpuser10309732 · July 2014

Yes WTF weather!! 103 today?!? I know this is how July is SUPPOSED to feel but I get butt sweat in the 90's. Should be a fun next couple of months

Can my bitch just be that I am ridiculously tired? We had a jam packed weekend with family events, mostly outside chasing DD1 around, and it feels like I haven't gotten a break. Plus, DH has been really busy at work so I am really trying to make it nice for him while he's home. I don't mind that in the slightest, but it wears me out a little more. I think I just want a nap!

Ditto ALLL of this!! While I love getting together with family, it gets really hard with two little kids, especially when there's a pool.

I have a couple -

1. My phone that is only 1 year old will no longer charge (unless it is in some twisted position) or stay charged. And I can't upgrade until June. I don't have $800 for a fricken new phone.

2. Home inspections and buying a home suck! We found what we thought was a perfect home and were already planning out where we were going to put everything and all. Then we had our home inspection last night. Why do "contractors" think they can take short cuts when building an addition and think it will pass code/an inspection/an appraisal. Now we have to figure out how we're getting out of that contract and get our EMD back and start this stupid home search again.

3. Why do we have to hit 90+ this week? Heat = extra passing out for me. At least I have a dr. appt. on Wednesday, so they might see me in action and not think I'm the crazy lady that calls because she's passing out all the time (which they've told me to do).

Sorry you have to start again, but wouldn't a bad inspection give you the opportunity to get out? Our realtor said that if something went bad during the inspection we could either re-negotiate the price, terms, etc. or walk away if it was a big issue. I would think a bad addition would be a pretty big issue! Maybe tell the sellers they need to get it to code and if they decline you can term the contract?

This. Unless your offer was NOT "contingent upon inspection" in which case I'd start looking for a new realtor

crystal8503 · July 2014

I sprained my ankle three days ago falling on my stairs trying to catch my son and have to get out today with my toddler in tow because my library books are already 3 days late. I'm going to drive the barely 1/4 because hobbling doesn't sound the last bit appealing, especially considering my 19 month old is showing me no signs of going easy on me already today.

AmandaJean12 · July 2014

My neighbor is getting a new roof... The third neighbor in 2 weeks. And the roofers blare the radio so they can hear it over their own hammering. The noise is making me crazy, but I have too much work to do to leave.

golfingdarwinfish · July 2014

I got a flat tire on the turnpike this morning after driving over some crap that fell off a truck. Took 30 min for someone to get to me to change to my "doughnut tire" (was bummed to find I do not have a spare - my other car has a full spare!!!!!!!!), found out the tire was trashed and I would need a new one. Called a dealership near my office, made an appointment, then DH called and said he found a place 3 blocks from my office that could get a new tire and replace it today (woooo!!), so I dropped my busted tire off at the garage and they are going to call me when the new one is ready for placement.

Of course I have meetings from 9-5 today so it's a complete nightmare. Arrived at around 10 (though still need to go back and retrieve new tire), so I guess it could have been worse?

MrsSinner402 · July 2014

Can I add another? WHY IS IT ONLY MONDAY?!

tucker1384 · July 2014

Thinking I could possibly be working 10 more weeks makes me want to scream and/or cry.

ADH0906 · July 2014

I'm frustrated at my mother, who is taking my apprehension at having 4 house guests (both sets of parents) at my house immediately after birth suuuuper personally. If I hear "so, I don't even get to be there for ____?!" One more time I will scream. I keep trying to explain that having people around makes me anxious and that I have no idea what it'll be like, but she keeps saying that "none of her friends were kept away" and "your sister wanted me there." None of her friends were staying for 2 weeks at their postpartum daughters' houses, and my sister was 19 and terrified when she got pregnant accidentally. These are not the same things, mother. And stop talking about having your bags packed...I am not calling you the second I go to the hospital.

MrsSinner402 · July 2014

And another: I had my u/s last Tuesday to follow up on LOs kidneys. Got the report faxed to me on Friday because I still hadnt heard from my OB. I called and found out she'd been very busy delivering babies last week. Understandable. But now it's almost 1pm on Monday, been almost a week since my u/s and I've heard nothing. I realize I'm not her only patient, but it frustrates me because the report mentioned her left kidney is showing hydronephrosis and I want to know what our options are, and if I need to schedule a follow up u/s I want to get on the books. :-<

MrsL2B · July 2014

My dad called me this weekend to tell me that my 93-yr old grandmother might die soon. My husband's first response was to list the reasons why it will be inconvenient for him to travel with me to go to her funeral. The real reason is that he has horrible anxiety about flying. I was prepared to feel disappointed in his lack of enthusiasm about traveling with me, and it will of course be easier just to go by myself rather than have to drag his drugged and beligerent self through the airports, but I wish I could could get a little more support out of him. We go through this every time someone in my family dies. When my step-dad died a couple of years ago, he ended up driving for two days to be there, but he greatly respected that man. I doubt he's going to make the same effort for my grandmother.

I so understand your frustration with this one. My MIL is constantly bitching that we don't let her have a car seat so they can take DD places when they watch her occasionally and is always throwing out "All the other grandmothers get to take their grand babies places!"

I'm sorry MIL - but you don't have a drivers license and FIL has 2 DUIs and just got his license back a year ago. I don't think FIL would ever drink while driving DD, but at the same time, I have a hard time trusting their judgement knowing all this. It's. My. Baby.

And I think I'm possibly a helicopter mom.

pckfn4life · July 2014

Ditto the "love family, but why do my weekends have to be so packed" feeling. I sat down last night to look at the calendar only to realize we have plans EVERY WEEKEND until the baby is due! It goes something like this: cousin's baby shower, friend's bridal shower, hubby's photo exhibit/ back to school BBQ, cousin's wedding, baby shower #1, community Labor Day celebration, driving a friend to buy a car, friend's bachelorette party, cousin's bridal shower/baby shower #2...then one weekend off, and bam baby due Oct 5th! UGH! Did I mention most of these events are 4+ hours away!

lrobi13 · July 2014

This thread is brutal. Too many sweet ladies having struggles to name but I hope each of you have a better Tuesday!

Mine is more awkward. I mentioned in the random thread I got a gift this morning. What I didn't mention is that is was from someone in the office I may have been bad-mouthing. Recently, I have started to get her reassigned to other staff members because I was tired of her asking me to do unnecessary stuff, especially since I have been super busy and have the giant task of getting my desk in order for my maternity leave. Whoopsies...so now I feel guilty.

Fuck that. I would call and put up a bitch about not hearing from anyone. Tell them you understand she's busy, but you are her patient too and you deserve to have results explained within a timely manner.

No way I'd allow that either! My SIL's parents are constantly drunk so they're not even allowed to watch her kids.

[Deleted User] · July 2014

This is more of a Sunday bitchfest, but I'm still peeved so I'm putting it here too.

I woke up yesterday to 5 stretch marks on my right boob. I know it's part of being pregnant, but they are my first ones and I was so happy they hadn't shown up yet.

Also, I'm bitching that I didn't wait for a boob job until after kids. I grew up with 34A boobs, got implants two years ago (only 325cc) which bumped me up to a 32DD, and now my 34 E bras are too tight already.

I can't keep up with these ginormous boobs and I have 14 weeks left.

Dude. As soon as I posted this I got a call from them. Weird... gotta go in for yet another ultrasound. They aren't concerned because the dilation is minimal and they saw no obstructions. But now we wait yet again.

ADH0906 · July 2014

@MrsL2B‌ I'm so sorry about your grandmother.

@dorothyzbornak97‌ Admittedly, I'm not really a Vegas person, but the couple of weeks that I spent in August in Las Vegas were maybe the worst and sweatiness of my life. You have my sympathies. At least everything's air conditioned and the food's good?

@pnwlover12 i would totally not let them have a carseat/let them drive DD anywhere either! how does she even think this is reasonable?! i do not understand how grandparents who were sane before they had grandchildren (not sure if your MIL was this way or not) suddenly become unhinged once the baby arrives...um? you still have to use your brain!

I'm glad I'm not just being overly protective, because I know it upsets them when I say no. She also is always saying, "You know, I raised 3 children". Yes, I know. I also hear the horrific stories from DH about all the shit him and his brothers got away with as kids because his parents were just not involved. I don't know how any of them survived! They smoked cigarettes inside (they don't now because MIL's sick father lives with them and he can't take the smoke. I would never let DD go over there if they still did) and my DH tells me stories about how he used to ride in the backseat of his dad's camaro with no car seat, sitting on the floor wedged between his two older brothers. What the actual fuck.

I feel bad talking so much shit about them, because they are truly great grandparents and my DD just loves being with grandma. But do I trust their parenting skills/choices? Nope.

I have ganglion cyst on my right wrist. It's killing me and it sucks. I have to keep my wrist wrapped tight for a few weeks. It was really bad Saturday night and I couldn't move 2 of my fingers but I don't need this right now! I start pumping in a few days and I need my hands!

Ouch! I hope you feel better soon.

ETA - forgot to respond to the bolded
if your hands aren't back to par by then, can DH help?

pnwlover12 · July 2014

This could be posted over at Randoms, but I like bitching so I picked here.

Does anyone else have to cram their ass into small lawn chairs or stadium style seats? I went to Safeco Field yesterday and was sitting in a chair and it was tight! My hips must get huge during pregnancy because I saw much larger girth'd women sitting around me and I don't know how they fit because I was uncomfortable.

shelly2314 · July 2014

ahhh...where I belong. I am 29weeks with twins and hating everything right now. It seems that the 3rd trimester is fraught with bitchiness for me. I am uncomfortable, not sleeping, can't breathe. I hate the hot and don't feel like doing anything. I hate staying home and doing nothing. I don't want to talk to anyone, I don't want to sit home alone. This is awesome. Damn, I am a bitch lately

I have another. My sister texted me this morning to ask me what my due date is. This is only the second time she's contacted me in months (I stopped calling/texting her because I got sick of being the only one holding the relationship up). She never asks how I'm doing, how the baby is, nada. I want to be like, "maybe if you weren't so fucking self-absorbed and actually contacted me more than once every six months you'd know when I was supposed to give birth to your nephew."

I am so with you on this one!!! I've always been the one to keep the "relationship" going with my sister. A lot of crazy shit happened with her this last year. The last straw for me was when I called her to come over for Easter egg hunting with my son, she never called back. My mom said later she was having phone problems but how was I supposed to know that. Then during our last texting conversation of her not taking any responsibility for not trying to get in touch with me she just assumed I was mad at her for some dumb ass reason (of which she thinks I still have issues with her over past problems that I haven't concerned myself with for years) and didn't want to invite her over. So I basically said I was sick of her selfish hypocritical crap and emotional roller coaster of assumptions and if she wants a relationship with me she knows where to find me. That was almost two months ago so I guess I got my answer.

sjhartline · July 2014

I hate the looks I get when someone asks how much longer I have and I say the end of Oct. Then because of "the look" I have to explain that it's twins. Yes I know I am huge. I don't need you to confirm it.

pnwlover12 · July 2014

WTF Target. I ordered a wedding gift online and you neglected to put the item in a box to shipit and it arrived all banged to hell with the edges of the box all smashed.

Syllessa · July 2014

I have a small tear (1.8cm) at one end of my placenta. I felt a sharp, stabbing pain last week, like nothing I'd ever felt before, and that was apparently the tearing. It caused some bleeding this past week, and I had to go to the doctor 3 times before I was taken seriously today (first 2 visits to anther ob, b/c mine was OOT). I've been put on modified bed rest for the next 2 weeks and given the steroids to mature LO's lungs, just in case.

As if all that isn't bad enough, I haven't told FI yet. I'm going to, but I just can't today. DCI showed up at his dad's house to seize his computer, and FFIL confessed. He was taken into custody. FI also started his p/t job today, took care of our bottle-fed calf (I can't b/c he's sick and the meds are iffy) and needs to go bale hay tonight. I just don't want to add more to his plate right now.

Sockgnome78 · July 2014

I have a big vent. I had unexpected vision problems last night. MH was with me the whole time. I had problems. So I told my mom about it today and she freaked out on me. Telling me that my vision is not something to mess with, that I should have gone to the ER (not that there is something that they would of done and I would have had to sit there for 5 to 6 hours). I also checked my BS numbers and they were normal.
I was ranting to DH about the conversation with mom. Figured out that I was more upset at the fact that she way over reacted, I needed her to just listen and maybe give some advice. So maybe I will have a talk with her AGAIN to be a support for me.
It would be nice to not have this talk when something like this comes up.
