Here's my gripe of the day... People going 15 under the speed limit get out of the fast lane and move to the slow lane. I understand that sometimes people need to drive slow but just do it in the correct lane.

MIL rant here. My DH told her about the pregnancy at least 6 weeks ago (her response "Oh, another one?") and although I've seen her at least 10 times in those 6 weeks, she has still not congratulated me nor even acknowledged the pregnancy. She has told me in the past she doesn't want anymore grandchildren (this baby will only be #5 grandchild) so we knew it wasn't going to be well received news. I think I'm just going to go super passive and never ever bring it up with her even when enormously pregnant.

I'm sorry, what?

She doesn't want more grandchildren? Said no one, ever.

I have two! My SIL has been annoying me since I have been pregnant. I feel like she looks at me and my husband and wishes she had what we have. She got pregnant with her now husband after a month of dating. My husband and i announced our wedding date then she and her now husband decided to get married 3 months before us. My DH and i had a real wedding it was perfect she had one at a park quick. She has been unhappy and she takes it out on all of us! Her husband is not motivated at all and they have a one year old and they live with his parents and buys Useless stuff they don't need! Like 180 dollar work out watches! They don't work out!! Especially him he barly can take his eyes off the TV or phone. Anyway when it comes to buying stuff they need they always say oh we can't afford that so my MIL buys it! I couldn't go to my nephews birthday party and she was so upset with me it started a fight. I had just taken two weeks of medical because of pregnancy issues. My boss told me I can't take any more especially because I barrowed from my vacation to make up for some days. And I'm taking a week for christmas. They just call out sick when they need days off. They don't think about the income they are loosing for the day. I have a real full time career job I can't just call out sick! Especially after asking for the day off. I have to think can I afford to miss a day no! I'm having a baby. Anyway she won't even really talk to me she is so upset. She has shown any interest in us having a baby she seems more annoyed that now we are having a planned baby. And my MIL is excited which is annoying her. My other vent is this annoying girl at work who is trying to take my position at work. She is telling my boss I can't do my job ratting on me for everything! I know she is going to try and take my job while I'm on leave. The worst part that's so annoying is she acts so nice to my face like she hasn't done anything! Little does she know I know a lot more of what's being said and watching going on in the office!!

I find this kind of sad... you SIL seems to want everything you have, can't do anything right in her life, her you're annoyed at HER? Shouldn't you have some sympathy for her, or at the least just let her live her life? Maybe it's not how you meant this, but it reads very "She's sooo miserable and it's pissing me off because i have to be a witness to her miserable life!"

I know!!! It's not like we ask her to babysit our 2 children very often - maybe once every few months. I challenged her on it when she said it and she got very flustered and made no sense. Most I could get out of her was that it wasn't "fair" for us to have 3 kids when my SIL (her beloved daughter) only wants 2. Urgh! I haven't told her that DH still wants another child after this one.

sammyca · December 2014

@OokamiNoHime‌ - I would lose my mind if someone stole my clothes. My SIL has "borrowed" plenty of baby stuff and "forgotten" to give it back but taking clothes and denying it...the worst!

housewifebecomesher · December 2014

The immense amount of scheduling and phlebotomy issues on this board concerns me. Is everyone who is not pregnant drinking at work and we aren't in on the joke? Or are people just stupid?!! Seriously with the HIV test that is completely elective for me, I would hurt someone if they made me come back for that.

So this isn't quite a bitch, but I need to get it out. I do not get the pregnant ladies dancing in pajamas commercial for Kmart. It does not make this pregnant lady want to shop there. Instead I want to run!

I didn't mean it that way I'm just annoyed that she seems annoyed by
Everything that we do. I have always been there since my wedding she has been weird towers me

First World Problem

DH surprised me with Dragon Age Inquisition. WOOHOO! Put in in the XBox. Spend half an hour getting the XBox to let me log in. Then not enough memory on the console. DH finds his thumb drive. Not enough memory. Goes out and gets a drive with enough memory. Works with the XBox. Doesn't work with the game. The hard drive that (supposedly) works costs more than the game itself. Grrrrrrrrrrrr.

Oh no! I'm taking a food break from my second playthrough as we speak. (Because I wasn't up to any plot stuff where I could eat while watching....) I was terrified my computer wasn't going to run it. Having the game and not being able to play it must be the worst thing!

MIL rant!

My husband and I move in to help my in-laws because my husbands dads company is closing down one of their plants we were month to month since I am an employee. Any way my MIL has cats and I have a cat we feed him expensive wilderness food which makes his coat amazing and his weight where it should be. All her cats are obese not fat obese. She feeds them wet food 3 times a day. I don't feed my cat that stuff. And now that we moved in she is feeding my cat with them! I don't want him to get fat and his coat all messed up again! I told her I didn't want to feed my cat the Wet food and she seemed offended.

Then we sat down to watch a movie we just bought and in the middle she started watching YouTube I don't want to say things to her because my SIL and her husband moved in with them and took over the house. They just moved out and they just got there home back feeling like there home. I don't want to make them feel that we are taking over like they did. We maybe helping them but they are helping us to because now we are saving like 500. So I feel bad.

Yes! I think I might "just happen to be in the neighborhood" and drop by for my sweaters. Repo time!! Haha!

That would annoy me so much! >:/
That's really ridiculous! I'm sorry it's being stupid!
Glad to see there are other gamers here, though! ^_^

I'm sorry.. I didn't realize she could choose how many grand babies she had?
Maybe I'm confused, but I don't think that's how it works. LOL!

Pregnancy announcement rant. My husband and I announce dour pregnancy in our Christmas card this week. Immediate family already knew, but this was the easiest way to get the word out to friends/relatives since most of them don't live close by. I got a few "congrats" texts, but otherwise most of the people who have expressed interest were people who already knew that we were pregnant. None of my extended family has said a word to me, and at this point I know that they must know. Very few friends have said anything either. This is the first grandchild on my side of the family, and we're a pretty small family, so I thought that there would be at least a bit of excitement from relatives. I'm the first to get pregnant out of my friends from high school and college (I'm in my late twenties and have been married for several years, so it isn't exactly a shocker that I'm pregnant), but I thought they could at least be a bit excited. It's just turned out to be a lonely week.

That sucks a bit. I would be so disappointed as well. You feel so happy and you think family and close friends would share in the joy but you don't get much of a reaction. Go visit a baby crazy family member or friend so you can gush over baby stuff. And just remember how happy you and DH are!

When I told my director of HR I was pregnant, she immediately told me about a coworkers pregnancy - which I knew was a bad sign. A separate colleague congratulated me a week later, because the director told her. I made a face of clear annoyance and she was like "she thought I needed to know in my role here". Nooooo, you didn't. I have told everyone that truly needed to know early and it's certainly paternalistic when someone else thinks they know better.

I KNOW RIGHT!?!?!? I'm going to ask my doc tomorrow if I actually have to go back for the HIV or if he can just piggy back it on the next set of blood work (or, say, forget about it?). Makes me more mad because I was like, in love with the u/s tech for finding my vein and getting the samples so quickly and easily since normally it is this huge ordeal involving heating pads, heated blankets, and old people/butterfly needles and results in a huge bruise and severe pain in my arm for weeks.

I'm hoping he'll say we can just leave it. When I was pregnant with DD he gave me a requisition for the gestational diabetes test, told me there was no reason I should be concerned as he saw no indication that I was at risk of having it, and basically told me that it sucks really badly and if I "forgot" to go it wasn't a big deal "a lot of my second time mothers *finger quotes* forget to go"

This lady at work literally refers to me as 'mama' now as if I don't have a name. I am not entirely sure why his pisses me off to the extent that it does, but I did not cease to exist as a human the moment the sperm hit the egg. Also, the lady who literally eats sardines from a can in the break room. Plain. With a spoon. It stinks up the whole break room and she does this EVERY SINGLE DAY. Which essentially leads to me puking after lunch, EVERY SINGLE DAY.

I just got a text message from my MIL asking if we were getting her boyfriend a Christmas present.

SERIOUSLY!?

Yeaaaahhhh. Last year at Christmas my MILs boyfriend was 1 year older than us and she got him probably 20 gifts to open (NBA tickets, $300 sneakers, etc).... As my husband watched....and got maybe 2/3? By NO means is it about that, but my heart felt bad for him! This kid was our age!!! It's like watching a brother get 10 times more than you. It's all around WEIRD.

This year she isn't coming down for Christmas bc she wants to spend it with her (new) boyfriend. I can't make this shit up people. I swear she does it out of spite bc he 'ran off and got married'.

I am completely screwed when it comes to Christmas. I can't do ANYTHING right. My MIL has returned gifts I've given her, she's actually given a few back to me, or shoves it in her closet to never be seen. My FIL wants nothing and likes nothing. And my DH, who clearly came from these two people, is indifferent.

What the fuck do I do?! What I'm trying to do is insist on footing the bill for the hotel for a day in Los Angeles. I paid for it already, but of course my MIL is trying to pay us for it. My DH told me I should just give her the amount so she can give us the money, but then there I go, right back up the proverbial shit creek on Christmas.
