What's been going on in your family that's driving you nuts?!

My husband is on my nerves. Haha it seems to me he is extra whiny the past two days. I have to breath and remind myself he's been dealing with me for the last 9 months being sick/emotional/uncomfortable/and always being hot. So I'm sure I have been annoying too, but I have a valid reason. Its over little things too. Like I bought a dinner for last night since I had a Dr appointment and went grocery shopping, I was exhausted after and I knew I wouldn't feel like cooking. And he complained that it was convenience food. Ugh.

Mine is more of a annoyance. Lol my mil will be taking care of the baby while I'm at work. Well she's been building a nursery and everything. Me personally, I don't see why she needs a nursery. I guess cause I feel like she's trying to make it her baby, from her comments. A good friend of ours is buying her stuff for her nursery, I guess cause he doesn't want to impose on ours but again I'm like she's not having the baby lol half this stuff your buying won't get used by the baby cause its not going to be there 24.7. That's just my current irritation.

Today is my son's 5th birthday. I called my mother to face time & guess what? Both of my parents are on a trip with my sister & her children- in Washington DC. We're we invited? Nope. They of course didn't mention that they were going. It's like pulling teeth getting my parents to visit- they spend all free time with my sister & her children.
And even though I'm having a scheduled c/s & have known the date for months- they won't be here. They are coming 2 weeks later for 2 days & they wanted to bring my sister & her 2 kids. It sucks being the least favorite.

This would irritate me to no end....no one needs to have a nursery for my baby but me....call me immature but i would insist its unnecessary and if someone continued to make one i would not let my baby go over for extended periods out of spite

My mother unfriended me on fb. Whoops! \:D/

BrooksManor · April 2015

Yeah. It's drives me nuts. Than she buys all these clothes after I've already told her my family doesn't have tiny babies. "Oh, it's okay he'll fit them". *eye roll*. She also accidentally calls the baby, she babysits my son's name. I blame the menopause.

I didn't think I had anything to contribute until I read this but seriously family just won't stop buying my daughter clothes and I've said many times she has too much and I've posted on here a few times about it they just won't stop!! I keep donating clothes which makes me feel a bit better but I'm one of those people that feels bad about getting rid of gifts. Why won't they stop??

Uhm yeah, there's no reason for a second nursery. I mean, that would irritate the piss out of me too. For the simple fact that he already has one at his own home. I'm trying to picture what I would do in that situation, and I can even begin to imagine it.

I'm also not the favorite and know how much it can suck

Yea, I wouldn't let my child go there. Just out of spite. That'll show 'em.

My ex step mother tried to do this! My dad ended up seeing her craziness over other bigger things and filed for divorce before my daughter was born. Thank goodness!!

Must be in the air lol

SunshinE870 · April 2015

My mom bought a bassinette and swing for her house for when visiting but she lives out of town so it really saves us from lugging it all when we visit, but I can't imagine her creating a whole nursery! I would not be pleased, I've been the one waiting every day for nine months carrying this baby, it's mine lol!

BrooksManor · April 2015

Yeah. I'm trying to be okay with it but I can't. She put his name on the wall and everything....I'm over here like, I don't have the money for that but you do ?
I desperately need her as the babysitter but I'm tempted to steal her mobile and take it to my house.....ha.

"he's going to be so spoiled"....ughhh...no *stab with spoon*

My feelings on that is grandparents shouldn't over step you and one up. They shouldn't make you feel less because you can't afford something. My dad has always called and asked before purchasing big gifts for Xmas bday ect he doesn't want our big gift to seem less compared to his.

I'm 37 weeks today so I posted my weekly update on my Facebook. My mil just informed me that the baby can't come on May 7th (which is our due date) because she will be at a cards/cubs baseball game! Ummm excuse me?! I know babies decide when the time is right but who in their right mind takes off on a trip when their sons wife is supposed to have their first child?!?! This woman is seriously a piece of work. So I guess I'm hoping I go right on time so she misses it. Sounds bad but I'm beyond caring right now when it comes to DH's family and our child.

Eta: she goes on to post that if the baby is anything like her dad she will be late...
Hate to tell her this but if she is anything like her mom she will be right on time! Haha I guess on the plus side my mom thinks I will go early anyways but we will see. I just want to prove her wrong now

lovethelittleone · April 2015

My hubby's sister is due 2 weeks before me, so his parents are taking a flight to see her for 3 weeks. They'll be back 2 days before Im due, but they want us to house/dog sit the entire time they're gone? Don't they know we have other priorities right now?

HaruhiChan · April 2015

Tell family doctor confirmed prelabour signs and now I'm treated like a fragile piece of glass about to break at any moment, asked 50 times how I'm feeling and if I'm okay and whatever. I feel the same I've been feeling for weeks, I'm perfectly fine, and I'm not worrying or panicking. No point in it. You'd think they're the ones waiting for labour to come more than me lol

Yet, when I first mentioned these same signs before the doctor confirmed them, they brushed them off and didn't care LOL but now, noooo I'm about to blow up at any minute. Dude, chill, it can still be several weeks. Shouldn't the first time mother be more alarmed than them?

Lol I hate being coddled. Don't treat me like I'm delicate either. I dread should I be unlucky and have my water break in front of them. They'll be freaking out and I'll be the one trying to calm them down.

Oh, and the pushy people who aren't happy we aren't letting them in the delivery room. Always fun drama

Oh man. I find this very irritating too and it's not even my baby!

manacita · April 2015

Dh has his head so far up his ass, he's going to need to see a proctologist soon. Third sticky pregnancy, unbelievable pain, a 2.5 and 1 year old already, and an overgrown narcissistic child. If he complains to me about how he feels bloated or his 'excruciating' hangnail one more time, I'm going to shank him.

mamajama3 · April 2015

These are great to read- we are not alone lol. If one more friend or family member asks me what our baby's name is I'm going to bitch slap them. Everyone knows we don't have a name yet (DH and I are still debating a few) and it's rubbing salt in the wound. Also- I am getting irritated when family members and friends keep saying they'll "help" when baby is here by visiting the baby. "Help" is bringing food, doing dishes and laundry and cleaning, not playing with the baby. Playing with the baby will end up being us "helping" them play with the baby versus us getting help from them. I feel like people need to learn this, and I've nicely been saying it to them so they know what I expect, but I kinda feel like a bitch saying it.

jodi1008 · April 2015

I have a 2 year old and had asked my
Mom if she would take care of him while I'm in the hospital and ever since its been drama about how it's not fair she doesn't get to be a part of the birth, etc since with my ex I allowed her to be there since it was my first child so no babysitting issue as well as I didn't feel comfortable with just my ex fiancé there alone with me because I knew he wouldn't be much support for me. So now this pregnancy im married and my husband and I just want it to be us and my mom is so offended. Makes remarks all the time how it isn't fair and how I had bad planning on when the due date is and all this about how she won't share the closeness with the new baby that she shares with my first child. I don't know how to deal with it cus im about to lose it

This is why I haven't told a single sole that I have been having early labor symptoms. The idea of being coddled or pushed to stay home from work makes me want to rip my hair out. I would not do well on bed rest.
