Monday Bitchfest

snarkylibrarian · August 2014

MIL and SIL had jumped at the chance to plan and throw me a baby shower when they found out I was preggers, but now that the time is drawing near and it's a month away, they are dragging their feet and expecting me to plan the games, food, etc.

A couple weeks ago, they were perplexed about how to do a co-ed shower, so I sent them ideas for games, food, wording for the invitations, etc. upon their request, but now they're asking for recipes and asking me which games I want to play and where they should get supplies. Maybe this sounds ungrateful, but I feel like I have enough stuff to do/worry about. Why do I need to hold their hand through the whole thing?

When I have visited with them lately, MIL has made many passive-aggressive comments about the co-ed shower and how I always have to be "different" (ahem, her son wants to be part of the shower too!). DH and I made our intentions clear when they asked to throw the party that we wanted it to be co-ed. Gender-segregated celebrations don't work in our friend circle, which is co-ed and largely LGBTQ. I wish I could just have some of my friends take it over, but the invitations have already been sent. ARGHHHH!!! The show must go on, I guess.

I'm not sure if mine is really a bitch but I'm totally freaking out now. My
husband has decided that it is NOW incredibly important for me to finish school in the next 2.5-3 years. I understand his reasons. He's on instructor duty and is finally home. So he's home at a decent hour every day and some days only goes in for an hour or two. Don't get me wrong I love how supportive he is, and I've been slowly working towards my nursing degree (which I'm loving and stoked over). However, were having a baby in about 8-11 weeks and he wants me to start back at school ASAP and have his mom watch the baby and our youngest daughter. Im freaking over this! I'll be breast feeding a newborn, have a child in first grade, and a 4 year old. I know I have more support than I've ever had but it's all hitting me now. He's so insistent that NOW is the time, and I almost feel shoved into it. I'm not used to this behavior from him.

What about starting in the spring semester?

Kristil2014 · August 2014

I feel like there is literally no more room for this baby girl to grow in my belly. I am already experiencing lop sided belly, when she hangs out on the right side of my belly.

Plus I have BH all the time and my belly goes completely hard.

I feel like there just isn't enough fluid.

Am I crazy? Is this normal?

I'm going to National University which has a fantastic nursing program. I suppose that would have made my anxiety make a bit more sense, right? The classes are accelerated, and are between 4 weeks to 8 weeks long. They are totally intense. The original plan was for me to transfer to a traditional school and start in the spring. Suddenly he's having a timeline freak out and is insisting I take a class next month. I'm fine with that, I'm just freaking out about going back a month or two after our son is born. Personally I think he's forgotten how insane it is with a newborn. I'm sure he'll come to his senses, I'm just not used to this pressure from him.

I could have written this exact post!!!

Lots of BH! Baby always hangs out on the right side and it's starting to feel cramped in there!

My baby is raging a war with my lower intestines today and it doesn't feel too great.

Ugh--mine was doing that Saturday night and I nearly cried. I kept telling him to knock it off and stop stomping on mommy's insides. It got better when I finally pooped.

And @Econosaurus‌ I'd be tempted to start telling everyone that your H is the one who doesn't want to know. See how he likes being blamed. It sucks that he's not more supportive.

My bitch is at myself. I've got a ton of work to do this week before classes start next week, and here I am bumping with a cat on my lap instead of working. Get it together and start working, me!

KMW08 · August 2014

Ohhh another. I'm finally at this feeling wet stage / some pee leakage stage that some of you have already been experiencing. I'm so tired of my vagina feeling moist all the damn time, it's annoying. Sometimes after I pee now, when I stand up a few drops come out. WTF body. I *think* I have decent pelvic floor muscles (about the only good side effect from having a balloon catheter in place after my septum surgery), I can still stop mid-stream and hold my pee. So why the extra lil pee drops now?!?!? Sorry baby, but I'm blaming you on this one =;

ETA: you're welcome for the word moist. I may or may not have used that word on purpose

I'm with you on this!! Baby is supposed to get 3x to 4x bigger. How's that going to happen??

@clumsyatheart - I have also been having poo problems. My MIL suggested I try some swiss chard. So I sauteed some up with onions last night and quite literally, an hour later I was in the bathroom. Granted, it did make me a pretty crampy, but I hadn't gone in days so it was just a huge relief!

I NEED SWISS CHARD IN MY LIFE ASAP. I exist on bran and stool softeners and still crap like a hamster.

lizgrace03 · August 2014

I am usually a champion sleeper but lately it's been only in 2-3 hour stretches. I feel bad because I think it's affecting DH's sleep too. I just keep waking up with pains! And the urge to pee of course.

belmont1785 · August 2014

Yesterday was my bday and I cried the whole entire day.Literally everything made me cry. People would say "its your last bday before baby girl! " and I would get all emotional and cry.

I cried so much over everything I have a huge migraine still. Ugh.

I really am so happy and looking forward to baby girl. But everything lately just makes me tear up. I'm prepping myself for some major post pardum depression... Contemplating doing the placenta encapsulation thing. We will see.

my maternity clothes are feeling too tight.

And I HATE doing laundry now b/c EVERYTHING is tight!!!

@Kllopez1221‌ someone said something along those lines to me the other day and i replied, "the gods chose me."

A BEAM OF LIGHT CAME DOWN AND IMPREGNATED ME. Seriously, there are only a few options here.

I also want to find this poop story, since poop's been my thing recently.

Why is that when a male boss expects employees to be accountable for their work and do their job properly, they are just being a boss. When a female boss does the exact same thing, they are angry or mean? This is seriously pissing me off today.

My bitch is at my grandmother. Backstory, I come from a pretty religious family, my parents and siblings and I all went to the same church since I was 5 years old. My parents are involved in the ministry as well as my sister. I am the black sheep, I stopped going to church as soon as I was 18. So at my sisters engagement party on Saturday, everyone is going on and on about how pure their relationship is and how great they are, and they are amazing people, don't get me wrong. It's just not the way I choose to live my life. My grandmother comes up to me after the party and says "I really wish you would start going to church again. You really need god and your baby is going to need him even more" WTAF?! I love you grandma, but seriously? I told her that I just don't see the point in organized religion, I grew up going to church and it really isn't for me. I told her that my husband and I are perfectly happy, happier than I ever was when I was a member of the church, and plan on raising our son the way we see fit. She just glared at me and told me how sad she was for me. Even my parents, who are super religious, don't push their beliefs on me. Sorry Grandma.

"Grandma, God is everywhere. Not just in Church. PEACE."

LOL, and all of my employees are female. In my experience, my male employees have been far less sensitive (for lack of a better word) about that.

I feel like of I don't grin real big and hand out a lolly pop after every interaction with certain employees, I'm doomed to be the office bitch forever.

Kehlepop · August 2014

I mentioned this when I found out it happened and in the top thread, I am still so annoyed!!

2 weeks ago I decided it was high time to change my last name to DH's (it's been over a year). Neither of the Social Security offices are nearby and the have the worst hours. Closed weekends, 9-3 weekdays except Wednesday 9-12. They really see to like to inconvenience people.

I take a day off work for the change, 2 weeks later, my card arrives and they've misspelled my middle name!
I call and am on hold for almost an hour just to be told I have to come in to fix it. Or..I can mail them my actual driver's license and birth certificate as they don't accept copies. Who would mail their driver's license anywhere?!

I already took this morning off work for my glucose test, now I'm taking the whole day off so I can fix their incompetence. Seriously, how can they be so casual with something as important as someone's name?!

I thought I was having a pretty decent day with nothing to contribute here. Until I went through the checkout line at Wal-Mart. Why can't they bag things properly!??!? I bring my own bags because I hate having 3 million plastic bags under my sink. Here's how she loaded them.

Bag 1: Gallon of milk, 5 lb sack of flour, giant tub of yogurt, all the hard sided boxes (cereal, etc). How am I supposed to lift this?
Bag 2 (from the bottom up): Mangoes, bananas, cantaloupe, carrots, spinach, trash bags, water filters. Seriously?? Bruised EVERYTHING by the time I get home?

Common sense, please. Sometimes I want to say "oh, I'll load my bags, you are incompetent."

I even put my stuff on the belt in order of how it should be bagged and they still screw it up!

Dumbgurl04 · August 2014

Got the call today that I failed my 1 hour glucose test. So I go in tomorrow for the 3 hour. I hope I pass, like i told my mom I feel like I would have to move in with my parents until the baby because my DH would drive me nuts if I had GD. I love that he is concerned and cares but he drives me nuts because no matter if I tell him that there are babies born to moms who drank pop and smoked (like my cousin) come out fine and babies are born to mom's who did everything text book and come out with issues he thinks I make it all up. I love him but he really needs to take a chill pill

OMG YES. I can have a perfect day, but getting my shit bagged anywhere will just ruin it. My first job? Bagger. So i get SUPER RAGEFUL at dicks who don't know how to bag. Like the girl at trader joes that throws everything on the counter after scanning it. Does she not realize that it takes LESS TIME to bag as you go? And that maybe i don't want cans on top of fruit? Again, murder.

I do this also. Not only do they usually grab things out of order, but FI will mix things up. He says I am crazy and thinks it is funny to mess with me.

I get so ragey when they bag things so stupidly. Don't put my toilet bowl cleaner in with my fruit, dumbass.

AND don't overstuff the bags!!!!!!! Handles are meant to be friends and be next to eachother, not so far apart that they are useless.

DH bags all of our groceries regardless of where we go because of this! He was a bag boy at Publix when he was in high school so he thinks he is the only one capable enough of bagging our groceries. He is right most of the time, especially when you get someone like you had.

I am so gross and need a shower, but we are going to transfer a title and go directly to dinner after work. I am going to stink for dinner!

Deardra77 · August 2014

My son's day care let's parents bring in treats for their child's birthday to share with the group. They have ZERO boundaries on what the other parents can bring in. I have seen parents bring in cupcakes with over an inch thick of frosting, disgusting! This is for kids between 1 & 2! All kinds of processed food and full of chemicals, shelf stable muck. As parents we all have choices in what we feed our children, if parents make the choice that this is how they want their child's nutrition to work they have that right but it's the inflicting this on other kids that really gets to me. It's not like other parents are there to make decisions and showing up with this crap is so gross. I respect their right to do what they want regarding their children but not when it becomes inflicted on other peoples kids! Ok, rant over

My health insurance company royally sucks and are so eff'ing difficult to deal with. I have a zero deductible due to having an annual physical that your deductible is based off and our employer pays a ryder for each of us to get $1500 dollars annually before we have to start paying our 20 percent of bills.

My dr does universal billing so we aren't billed for regular appointments and the birth until after baby is born, only lab work, ultra sounds, and non routine appointments. Therefore I still have $400ish left of the $1500 before I should have to pay anything.

WTF to everytime the lab bills my insurance they freaking reject it. Not even paying the 80 percent they should cober once I acyually reach my limit just reject the whole damn bill. I then have to call insurance company when I get the bill they rejected and go thru about 7 people before they decide they f'd up and it should be covered. EVERY f'ing time. Then it takes them 45-60 days to actually fix it.

Good thing my dr office has been understanding and not reported my past due account to credit bureau since I have talked to the billing department about how imcomptent my f'ing insurace company is.

Get it togeathet stupid insurance company I have better things to do with my lunch hour than spend it on the phone with your dumbass.
