Monday Bitchfest

angelike81 · January 2015

I didn't see one started yet and thought I would start us off.

My in-laws separated about a year ago and although my FIL is happy, my MIL is still very bitter. We sent out invites to our baby shower and my FIL is coming. It was a surprise because he has to fly in and we didn't think he would make it. We are very happy that he's coming but decided to give my MIL a heads up. Needless to say she started acting like a two year old because we invited him. What pissed me off more was a text she sent us saying if she was to much for us to handle that we can help her move to her brothers and we never have to think about her again. Seriously! Cause at 7 months pregnant I can be lifting all your shit and driving it six hours away. The last time we had to rent two large ass uhauls and it took us two days to load them up

PF for the last 2 weeks has been a bedtime nightmare. I thought we'd gotten gotten over the hump last week while H was away and then he came back and we're back to square one. I'm so beyond sick of it.

Also the "free" care that my mom gave me... Not so free. She did NO maintenance on it in the time she had it. I need 4 new tires, new shocks, a new wiper fluid tray, at least new rear brakes (possibly new front brakes), it's leaking oil, it was in a rear-end accident and the paint/repair job is shoddy. Who knows if the frame is any good.

I'm sorry you're having to deal with that @angelike81‌. Does she live with you guys?

Mines nothing too major, but we took a Saturday intensive childbirth class this past weekend and I feel like we got ripped off. The class wasn't too expensive ($175), but still. The teacher seemed out of her element and spent the first 45 minutes explaining the female anatomy... I think all the couples had that part down. Then she had us do at least 3 of the CD guided relaxation things, the cheesy "close your eyes and imagine you're at a beach". It wasn't even until after lunch she started talking about the stages of labor and different positions. Maybe I should be encouraged that I already knew most of what she covered, but still a waste of a Saturday.

mombod · January 2015

The rib pain/pressure is so uncomfortable and making it really hard to sit at my desk to work. I need to get up and walk around every ten minutes.
Also I have my 1hr glucose screen tomorrow and I have already built it up in my head that's it's going to be awful.
And it's Monday.

angelike81 · January 2015

@emarsh0415‌ she lived with us for a little while but got upset over a note I wrote my cleaning lady about the dirty dishes and moved out while we were out of town with out saying a word to us. All the note said was not to run the dishwasher because I wanted to fill the top row with the most commonly used cups so I could put the rest away. I did put this in the note but I have issues with the dishwasher and the sink both being full of dirty cups.

knjzacher · January 2015

I am a super grump because I'm scared and anxious and upset about my estimated delivery date as per my OB. He said I won't make it past 30w or so and I am having a hard time dealing. I have nesting shit I want to do but I'm on bed rest so I can't. I have shopping I need done for this new baby and I can't do it. I miss my DD cause I have to send her to daycare because I can't care for her during the day and my heart aches and I just want to cry all day. I want to keep her home with me and bake and do arts and crafts but I can't. I miss my work friends. My parents are so uneducated about things like the flu shot and babies in general (my stepmother never had her own and has never been around babies). They drive me crazy and it kills me to fein tolerance with them when I realy want to scream "WHY ARE YOU SO STUPID?" I don't trust them to care for DD when I go to deliver also this time, so my anxiety is through the roof. I ran into my bio mother on Saturday when I had my one night out for a quick dinner (I cut her out of my life completely before DD was born and haven't seen/spoken to her in 2.5y). It was uncomfortable and has stirred up all these emotions I thought were gone, all this misguided guilt. I've been a sobbing mess.

TL;DR version: I'm emotional and it sucks, fuck Monday.

angelike81 · January 2015

@emarsh0415‌ I think I would have been pretty disappointed with that class as well. It seems like you could have gotten the same info watching YouTube and it would have been just as helpful

angelike81 · January 2015

@ctwifey2012‌ the one hour glucose test isn't that bad. Some people I know actually liked it. The three hour on the other hand is horrible

KayDeeKay81 · January 2015

@angellike81 - I also have a MIL who can act like a child. I feel your pain.

My MBF is no means major. It is at the situation that happened on my way to work this morning at the gas station.

I stopped to take out some cash and buy some windshield washer fluid. I thought to myself, buy two bottles, be prepared. So I did. When I opened the trunk and put the extra bottle down, A chunk of the bottom of it broke off and washer fluid began pouring out all over my trunk!! All over my grandmas wool coat, my bag and a box of cards. So I quickly pull it out of the trunk and of course it splashes all over my boots and pants!

I go back into the gas station and explain to the guy that the bottom broke and ask if I can have a replacement bottle he says "Of course." and "Hey, at least now your trunk wont freeze!" (insert death glare)

UGH! so now I have to take all the things out of my trunk and into the slushy snow, grab a million paper towels to sop of the puddle and ring out my grandmas coat and then put everything back. The whole ordeal set me back about 15 minutes and eliminated my usual stop for morning tea.

angelike81 · January 2015

@knjzacher‌ wow that's a lot of stuff to be dealing with. Just try and calm yourself. All the stress can't be good for the baby. I hope you start to feel better

aly&jj · January 2015

knjzacher I'm sorry for what you're going through. I totally understand the wanting to nest, and not being able to. I feel the same way. I'm not on bed rest, but I have had so much pain which makes it really hard.

aly&jj · January 2015

I love my husband, and he really is pretty awesome, but he pissed me off so badly yesterday. We bought a crib from a local buy and sell page for a really good price on Saturday. When we got home he didn't unload it because it was raining. Yesterday, we were leaving to get something to eat and he left the tailgate down, we got two streets away from the house and the two side pieces flew out of the truck! A huge chunk was taken out, and it was all scratched up. Now I'm going to have to sand the damn thing down and repaint it.

wolowizard · January 2015

I got married in October. When I got back from my honeymoon on the 12th, I filled out all paperwork to change my name with my company and all of my insurance companies (there are four-health, eye, dental, and short term disability) and I added life insurance on my husband because he didn't have any. I got a letter in the mail from the life insurance company over the weekend that was just a policy notice but my husband's last name was spelled incorrectly even though I told the rep it was wrong when we opted for the insurance, and I noticed that the policy holder was still my maiden name. Turns out that my HR department hasn't changed my name on ANY of my insurances besides my health insurance and that's only because I've been hounding them because my doctor's office won't change my name until my insurance is changed. I really didn't want to end up having a baby and all of the insurance claims be denied because of my last name. I emailed HR and CC'd the VP of my department (because she's the reason they FINALLY changed my health insurance), and HR immediately called me and told me they're working on it, that it takes time and to not CC my VP because she doesn't need to know my private information when they sent me an email that included my full name, address, health benefits, my PCP, birthday and full social that they CC'd my VP on last week. This is really irritating the crap out of me.

My sister lives with us and she's driving me insane! We do charge her rent but it's a small amount, especially compared to what she would pay at her own apartment, and we don't make her buy her own groceries or pay utilities. We do this because she's family and she said she would help around the house. Well, she doesn't. She's just making me crazy lately.

My brother lives with us too. We do the same thing, small amount of rent but no utilities or food. My brother is a truck driver so he's rarely at the house, but when he is, he irritates the crap out of me too. I do like that he gets along with my husband and they get to hang out and talk about things I don't care about and I can go about my business doing whatever.

ally3242 · January 2015

I'm still really annoyed about my OB appointment last Friday afternoon. I was schedule for my 28 week appointment and glucose screening. I arrived 15 minutes prior to my appointment so I could check in, get the paper I needed to head up to the lab and guzzle my tasty little drink. So when I checked in with the receptionist, I informed her it was the day I was scheduled to take my test and I needed my orders for the lab. She told me she didn't have anything up at the desk in regards to my orders and she would run back and ask a nurse for my paper. So, 15 minutes later, when it's actually time for my scheduled check-up I went back up to the front desk and asked her about my paper and her response was "Uh yea...we're just super busy here today". Uh no bitch, you weren't....you were all hanging out shootin' the shit and eating snacks in the reception area. So, 30 minutes later, I was called back to an exam room....for my appointment that was all of 1.5 minutes. Then, I was given my paper and told to head up to the lab to take my test...well by this time it was 3:45 and there was no promising they would give me the test because it was toward the end of the work day. They hesitantly let me take the test...but I had to sit in this tiny little waiting room for an hour, when I could have gotten this all out of the way at the very beginning of my appointment. So all in all, I spent a little over 2 hours at the office and I was really pissed about it because I had to drive home in rush hour.

angelike81 · January 2015

@baby_blessings‌ that sucks and I can somewhat relate. My MIL lived with us for a while and she didn't help out around the house at all. We didn't even ask her to pay rent. I just expected her to clean up after herself and her pets, which she didn't do. I did also ask that she get a storage unit so that we could use our garage and our formal dining area. She just kept telling us that she couldn't afford it. Yet when she got mad over something stupid she moved out of our house while we were out of town. Not sure where she got the money but she could suddenly afford an apartment, storage, cable and Internet. I don't think she ever realized that we were just trying to help her out. Instead it was like we inconvenienced her.

jackieanddan1989 · January 2015

Slightly annoyed with DH. After an episode of insomnia in the middle of the night, I woke up too late to eat anything before my glucose tolerance test, and my midwife appt is immediately after, so it will be another hour or so before I can eat. It's no big deal, I dont mind waiting in order to do what I need to do. But DH is complaining about how hungry he is and how he must eat soon, and might have to leave me at my appt in order to eat now. Dude, seriously? You actually ate this morning. Twice. We can have a nice lunch, together, in an hour. Im pregnant and ya dont see me complainin.

knjzacher · January 2015

@qwanda2013‌ oh yes I have friends to reach out to, and DH is wonderful. I'm just extra complainey lately because it has been really piling up. Ugh.

And thanks to you other ladies who have said nice things in my direction. You are all so sweet.

shrkfan · January 2015

I have a knot in my shoulder that feels like its on the whole right side of my back. I'm in my office trying to lean against anything hard... including the doorknob. I'm sure all get some looks as soon as someone sees me.

somewheresublime86 · January 2015

I'm just frustrated. I thought that I was all done with the first tri queasiness and vomiting. The last two mornings I've had that first tri queasy, uncomfortable thing happening. I haven't actually thrown up, thank goodness. I just feel like I could.

I did a little googling and it sounds like this happens to some women at the start of the third trimester. I'll be 27 weeks on Wednesday. I'm unimpressed.

Murran131 · January 2015

ctwifey2012 The GD test really isn't bad at all. I'm a huge baby when it comes to drinking or eating gross things, and was dreading the drink they give you ahead of time. Don't get me wrong, it's not delicious. It's just like really sweet koolaid. Or orange soda without the carbonation. I chugged it in 5 minutes - no reason to drag it out - and it only bothered my stomach a tiny bit at first. No big deal. I did not enjoy the hour long wait before the blood test, but hey, take a book or something to pass the time.

wholebunches101212 · January 2015

I'm just plain grumpy today. Tomorrow I have a Dr appt. And mil is supposed to watch DD but she won't drive to my house in the snow so I'll have to bring DD to her house which is 20 min away from the hospital where as from my house the hospital is literally 3 min away. Also today DD is being so annoying and I'm trying to stay patient. Is it nap time yet?

babybarrand · January 2015

First time posting !! I love reading all this makes me feel I'm not the only one ! I have an over I flames Siatic nerve and I can barley move without crying in pain, and to make matters worse the other half chooses to sit around and not help.. Sometimes I think I might murder him.. Anyone else get these feelings ? 25 weeks and 2 days !!!

Scarlettg · January 2015

WTF sleep?! I've been suffering with the heartburn, and the getting up to pee every hour on the hour, and DH waking me up because apparently I snore now. But last night I got my first leg cramp and it's really adding insult to injury. Not least because as soon as I did fall asleep, all comfy and warm, DH woke me up for snoring. Grr.

Also, WTF guy at the bar? I like(d) this guy, and I love his 12-yr old son, but lately his lack of parenting skills is driving me nuts. His son was just fitted with an ankle bracelet and is about to be sent to a 3-mo turnaround program for kids who are heading down the wrong path. This is a good, really smart kid, and maybe he wouldn't be in this position if his dad would spend time with him instead of, I dunno, leaving him at home alone so he (dad) can come to the bar and drink beer all night with his buddies. It's always bothered me a bit but lately I just want to smack this man and tell him he's an awful father and he needs to pull his head out of his alcoholic ass. Of course, I can't do that, so I stand behind the bar and stew.

TL;DR: I can't sleep and I'm frustrated watching an alcoholic father ignore his kid in favor of drinking.

MagalinaH · January 2015

My bitch is that I'm now on (TMI) yeast infection #3 since getting pregnant. So annoying. Why, oh why does Diflucan have to be a Class D drug?

Ashgal · January 2015

I had to start a 24 hour urine test today and had to take my jug to my morning training for work. So gross and annoying!!

tirola · January 2015

Mine is pretty minor but I am so darn swollen today and it's making me really uncomfortable. My hands are swollen to the point I had to take my ring off and I tried on 3 pairs of shoes this morning before finding one that didn't feel like it was cutting circulation to my feet off. Usually I wake up with swelling but it goes down after a bit. It's just decided to linger today and I'm not ok with that!!!

fourthtimesacharm · January 2015

Mentioned it the other day but I'm still pissed that my cousin is pressuring her DIL, who is pregnant with twins and due in April, to put the babies up for adoption.
Also, pissed that my cousin called my sister and asked her to tell us not to "celebrate" the pregnancy when we see her because she thinks it will make her DIL more likely to put the babies up for adoption.
Um, don't tell me how to react to someone's pregnancy for your own agenda. Don't try to pressure a woman into adoption if she's already told you she's not interested. And don't try to recruit other people to put pressure on her.

Scarlettg · January 2015

@fourthtimesacharm forgive me, but I don't remember this. Why does your cousin want her DIL to make the babies available for adoption? I feel like her reasoning makes a big difference here, but the fact that it's her daughter-in-law (implying that she's married to your cousin's son) is giving me pause.

RNmama2b · January 2015

My bitch is petty but I hit a deer Sunday morning at 1:00 am on my way home from work and destroyed my Equinox. I live in central Illinois, this isn't uncommon but it's never happened to me before. I was a hot mess of gagging and sobbing. Poor timing adds to me being pissy about it with classes and clinicals starting this week. Thank god my uncle owns an Autobody shop and is going to have my car drivable in 2 weeks but until then, trading in my Equinox for a minivan.

Hitting a deer is just the perfect combination of guilt and anger, isn't it? When I hit one (or rather, she hit me) I was sobbing because I'd killed a deer and at the same time irate at the damage she'd done to my truck. And then a part of me, the redneck part, was thinking about how good she'd taste in after some time in the crock pot with some carrots and onions...

@somewheresublime86 - Do you think that maybe it's a stomach bug? There is one going around up here, so maybe it's just a little bit of that. I had a VERY off couple of days last week, and then after that passed, my hubs was complaining that his stomach just wasn't 'right'. I've got my fingers crossed your MS isn't coming back.

---
Quote box fail

I really don't think it's a stomach bug :-( All of my first tri remedies worked like a charm, and I'm feeling pretty decent now that I've had a carbtastic lunch. No fever or anything else, just that yucky feeling. I'm going to hope that the little dude shifts positions and it goes away - he's up really high today so maybe that's what's causing this. Oh, the things they don't tell you about pregnancy...

fourthtimesacharm · January 2015

@Scarlettg‌, yes these are grown ups, not children. My cousin's son and his wife are late 20's. They have a dd who is 3, and he has a ds who is 7 from a pr. They are both working, but not making a lot of money. My cousin says she's afraid he will "do something stupid" from the stress/depression. I assumed she meant he would hurt himself, but my response to that is if he is depressed and would consider suicide, then he needs help. Adoption isn't going to "cure" his depression and how long before another trigger comes into his life? Also, he has his ds every other weekend and apparently my cousin only visits when her grandson is there, never visits just her granddaughter. It just gives me the feeling that there is favoritism, and the twins are both boys, so maybe she's worried about the older one feeling left out.

Scarlettg · January 2015

@fourthtimesacharm that's awful! What a nasty judgmental bitch (your cousin, I mean). If she's so worried about the mental health of that family she might consider what she's doing to her granddaughter, treating her as if she doesn't matter or, at best, is second to her half brother. Or what she's doing to the family as a whole, encouraging adoption (and being so mean about it) when they're not interested in it. If she's worried about her son, has she considered the effects adoption would have on his psyche? It's a form of loss, even if sometimes it's the best course of action, and there would be definite emotional repercussions for the family. In short, what a nasty, judgmental bitch. I'm sorry you and your family have to listen to her.

texasmomma22 · January 2015

My husband texted me that he could not find his work car keys this morning... he is always losing them.My son does have a habit of sticking stuff places now. So I go home at lunch and instead of relaxing and eating I hunt and hunt.. end up finding them under the seat of the car he drove this morning to work! Gotta love him despite his inability to remember where he left crap.

RNmama2b · January 2015

@Scarlettg‌ perfectly put! I was gagging because I saw blood and guts fly (sorry ladies, that's disgusting I know) and then the sobbing was the combination of killing a momma deer on top of my car being so screwed up. Add pregnancy hormones on top of that and I was just one hot mess!

wolowizard · January 2015

I had a doctor's appointment today for my glucose test. My appointment was at 4, and the office closes at 5. Not a whole lot of leeway time to wait the hour and have the test done. I called last week and verified that the time was ok, they said it was. I showed up ten minutes early. When I got there I asked the front desk if I needed to do anything special for the test and she said "I don't know. They do all of that stuff back there." So I sat down and waited. I assumed that they had some fluff time built in for 4 pm appointments or something. I get called back and pee in the cup and get weighed and stuff. When the doctor comes into the room at 4:20, she said "there's not enough time to do your glucose test because the lab closes at 5 pm. You should have told the front desk you were here for a glucose test. X( Now I have to go back without an appointment. I'm sure the front desk will be really good at handling that too. I'm probably most angry because I missed my afternoon snack today for the test, and I'll have to miss it tomorrow too so I can try again.

My Monday has been really bitchy today. BUT my dad was finally able to get his truck totaled by the insurance company after two weeks of dealing with bullshit. He was in the three car accident, and the women responsible neglected to put him on the accident report and he was taken to the ER by ambulance (he's 100% fine now) so he couldn't really fend for himself. So he's moving in the right direction.

Scarlett260 · January 2015

My bitch is at DF's dad. DF and I spent the day with him Friday, and it actually started out as a fun day. Until his dad decided he wanted to look at baby clothes with us. DF grabbed a camo onesie he saw and was immediately asked if he knew we were having a girl.

Fast forward to walking around Target, and I'm randomly asked what formula I'm going to buy. I say I plan on breasfeeding. So DF's dad asks how I'm going to supplement. Apparently there's just NO WAY I'll be able to exclusively breastfeed, and I'll HAVE to supplement with formula.

I really thought he was done with the rude comments after DF and I flipped out on him last time he told me I'd need a C-section because I'm "too small," and the baby is going to get stuck.

Also, thanks to all the ladies on this board. Reading the breastfeeding and C-section threads actually taught me a lot, and really helped me deal with his stupid comments. Of course I talk to my OB about my concerns, too, but I've found good book recommendations from reading the threads on here, and I've learned a lot from other posters' experiences.

Omg. This is my life. And add that I can't talk without getting winded because of all the smushing going on of my lungs.

It's Monday. I don't feel good. Headache. Stomach ache. Heartburn. Throat hurts. Flu?
