Haven't seen one of these yet & didn't see a point in making my own thread when I'm sure all of us need a little rant!

Anyway, I've been asked 3 times if I'm pregnant or just gained a bunch of weight.... I have a huge pregnant belly & have only gained 10pounds in 23 weeks... REALLY?! Why would you ask someone that, it's rude! Duh I'm pregnant look at my huge belly! (I'd post a picture but I'm on mobile it won't let me)

    mrssnyder83 I can't believe people ask if you've gained weight...REALLY? Even if you had, and weren't pregnant (which it sounds like its obvious) no respectful adult should ask someone that lol.

    I stayed with my ob for this pregnancy even though he doesn't officially do Friday appointments. He told me we could make it work. (I manage the front office by myself for a dental practice. We are Monday thru Thursday and missing any work means no pay and risking my job). Well, only 22 weeks in to prenatal care and his nurses are giving me lots of push back. I settled for just a nurse visit last time after my sono but I don't plan on that being ok on a regular basis. (Unless they want to refund me some of the $ I already paid them). I just need a Friday appointment. Any Friday, any time. Not picky as long as it is a Friday. That's not too hard, right?

    I manage two companies. One lady calls in sick every single Monday. We ALL call it her "monday morning illness". She has 5 weeks PTO a year and she has already used 3.5 of those weeks and it is the beginning of March! These people here will take off for a stuffy nose. I come to work throwing up, and just put a trash can by me because my boss has a stroke if I am not here. Why are these people such babies?!

    We have 4 out today. It's very stressful. This is the 3rd week the same person called off for a headache... really... lol it makes for a very hard day.

    I am so glad I'm not the only one who needs to vent daily! I'm 22 weeks tomorrow and people act suprised when they hear in oregnant.. I'm not thin in the least and my belly sticks way out.. So if they didn't think I was pregnant.. Then they thought I was fat! Lol. Thanks. Fortunately for me tho.. I am 4 pounds under my prepregnancy weight.. I lost 20 pounds in the beginning. Technically I have gained almost 2o pounds.. Scary right? I gain a lot of weight while pregnant. 100 with my first. 50 with my second. Hoping to stay under 25 this time. (I get pre eclampssia)

    are you kidding me?!? Friends of mine are getting married just a couple weeks after I have my baby, and they've said not only am I invited, but the baby is the only child allowed to attend because they know she can't be left with anyone else yet. I probably won't be going, but still... I was invited as a courtesy.

    I work at a country club and drive a beverage cart on the golf course. Lately, they've been having me not driving the cart, but yesterday I had to.... F THAT. There is no kind of shocks or whatever on that thing, you feel every single bump. I told them no more!!!

    My little brother is getting married Saturday.. and our family is all pretty fed up with him and no one wants to go. My son is in the wedding (only member of our family in the wedding) so I'm somewhat obligated. But I will definitely be happy when its over! I have to take extra time off work Friday because of a very oddly timed rehearsal and its eating into my PTO for my maternity leave. Not happy.

    @nimble33 there's a search bar lol? I think the "mobile people" myself included have less options than the folks on computers. You guys have been talking about PMs, search tools, signatures, reporting people, etc and I'm like, "Whaaaaaat? Where's the key for that?" ;)

    woman I'm on my phone lol due to one of my darling children broke my laptop -.- maybe it's something to do with type of phone?? I'm so picky tonight :)

    Yeah I've tried to reply to people's comments but it does nothing so I have to type @blahblahblah so they know I'm addressing their comment. I can't attach pictures, do a signature, search so not sure (could be operator error). I have a galaxy 4 and am using the bump app.

    search bar on my app is at the very bottom of the 'my birth month' tab where all of the posts are; just scroll all the way down (it took me a couple of weeks to find it). i have to type out people's names for their comments too, even on the computer. PMs can be found under the 'all forums' tab. signatures don't show up on the app to reduce loading time and pictures don't attach reliably (so that's probably a flaw in it app itself).

    Thanks for the tutorial @asherk :) like I said, probably operator error. I'm sure by the time I have it all figured it will be time to deliver and won't need the forum anymore lol.

    I am just moody today. Don't ask me why I don't have patience for anyone. Unfortunately we are in the middle of our trip to "visit family" I'm basically just sitting to the side quietly because if I was to give my honest opinion on anything I would be pissing everyone off.

    This!! We have friends who are getting married 3 weeks after this LO's due date and we are still invited. I can't imagine deliberately NOT inviting someone just because they will have a newborn!! They should have invited you and left the decision up to you whether or not you would go.

    Please tell me you have discussed this with your husband. I am going to a wedding 4 weeks before my due date. If I had one a month after I would absolutely go. I hope they realize that by inviting your husband but not you they are breaching etiquette
    Wait, I just assumed they didn't invite either of you. Did they really invite only your husband, assuming you would be too busy doing mommy duty to come?? No way would my husband stand for that!

    So we live about 1:30 hrs away from Mexico City and yesterday during breakfast with my inlaws my MIL said she wanted to go next Saturday and have lunch there and just visit some places and stuff and I immediately said "thanks, but my dr doesn't want me to spend that much time in the car for now, have fun!" Well, she picked up my son from school today and she told him "on Saturday we (without your mom and dad) are going to Mexico City! Have your stuff ready and I'll pick you up!" And i don't want to be a bitch but I can't trust her with that! She decided to stop using the car seat about a month ago and she doesn't get it and she even lets my son ride on the front seat!!!!!! I hate that! And she does other stuff (like let him walk on the street without holding his hand and we live in Mexico! There's kidnappings everyday! So of course I'm not gonna let him go without me or my husband being around! My husband agrees but now we're the mean ones! She knows she has to ask us first before telling him, but she constantly does this because she thinks we can't say no if she does it!!! Wtf?!?!

    I am just overwhelmed! The type of overwhelmed where you just say fuck it!!! 1st off I'm pregnant( just in case y'all didn't know!), trying to move to a different state, job hunting, house is a mess, trying to finish a dissertation by May, huge portfolio project due for my job the same day that my draft for my dissertation is due. Lately the thought of doing any of this exhausts me so I just take a nap!

    My MIL keeps giving us trouble about every decision we make about the baby. The nursery theme, cloth diapering, even the color of the car seat! It's getting extremely old. He's not even here yet and I'm already being told how to raise him. That does not work for me.
    Also, I'm extremely sore and tired all the time.. Hubby refuses to give massages but I'd do just about anything for one some days. Back, neck, shoulders, hips.. I waddle more from soreness than size!

    I still wouldn't let LO go. You are going to have to prove a point, which is sad that she put you in that position.

    My brother is getting married 2 weeks after my EDD. I'm sad I can't go but annoyed that ALL of my family will be away.

    As I just typed that, I thought, well maybe it's a blessing in disguise... :-S

    I'm really annoyed because the ONE fu....freaking window we have in here is at the cube of another person who has the blinds shut. I hate when they're shut. I feel better when sunlight is coming through. I physically just FEEL better. I even said to her a few weeks ago that I love that she leaves them open because the person before her didn't and I like to see what's going on outside.

    I wish I could trade her desks, but our phone line won't allow it. I'm feeling rageful today. I really just want to smack her with a binder and super glue the blinds open.

    I'm legit fuming about this blinded window thing. LOL.
