Ridiculous things we cry about

thedo · May 2015

lately, I cry about everything. Commercials, Facebook videos, compliments, you name it. I thought it might be fun to hear what brings other people to tears these days.

Today, I couldn't stop crying when my husband said that I had plenty of time to play with our 15 month old (because I am too tired to play without sitting for a quick break). I just kept thinking that she'll only be this age now and I am missing it - and feel like I will miss even more when I am caring for a newborn.

Bring it on, ladies.

I almost start crying every time I make my dog sad. When I have to leave her in her crate for too long, when I can't give her table scraps, when I'm too tired to throw the ball, etc. I just feel so bad and I want to make her happy!

Currently crying about tonight's Grey's Anatomy but I don't consider that ridiculous

cbrtncanadian · May 2015

@ElRuby me too... Just kept picturing myself and DH in the same situation and how I imagined I would feel exactly like Meredith and Bailey... Couldn't imagine how to live without him... Then I cried about Meredith saying she thought about giving birth and then possibly dying - I lost it while running for a potty break and sobbed in the bathroom for a few minutes before being able to compose myself.

I work in a retail store and I had a very "special snowflake" customer. She was really upset that she hadn't received any coupons since she signed up for our customer registry. She was really sweet but really upset because she just didn't understand why... She started crying... I started crying. Over coupons!

Don't worry ladies, I gave her 20% off anyway.

I couldn't find my jeans, they were washing the whole time and I still cried lol

I stepped on the plug to my vacuum. Enough said lol

When we have multiple posts on the same topic in a very short amount of time (I.e baby measuring big...)

In all seriousness, it takes very little to make me cry these days. I almost started crying at my shower this past weekend because my cousin, who's 10 years older than me, started talking about how she couldn't believe I was having a baby. I guess her nostalgia got to me? She was in no way emotional about it, either, just making conversation, so I can't even blame my tearing up on contagious tears!

Not enough ice cream in my orange float... there was like one scoop left in the bottom of the ice cream container when I scraped it all out. Sad. So. Sad.

Mommaswizz · May 2015

aliciac2008 I cry about my puppy alllllllll the time! She seriously has the best life too. My DH works from home 4 out of 5 days a week but on that one day he has to commute to the city with me, I just picture her in her doggie bed wondering where we are and why we left her and i get so so so sad. DH thinks i'm crazy but I worry that she's lonely. We have a party for my friend's son tomorrow afternoon and we'll be gone 4-5 hours and I haaaaaaaaaate thinking about Luna being sad and bored. I wish dogs were more like babies and it was acceptable to bring them everywhere... like work lol Why is there no bring your puppy to work day?!

ksimo6 · May 2015

Cried in the shower yesterday because I am ready to be done with this pregnancy and just having that thought made me feel so ungrateful. Cry. Cry. Cry.

mvargas12 · May 2015

I got pulled over on Wednesday and started crying. I have never done that, I feel like it's such a cheap move but I totally couldn't control it!

Got a ticket anyway. Cried some more in my car driving away.

queequeg09256 · May 2015

I cried a few months ago because I couldn't reach my shoe under the bed, I cried the other day because the prints I ordered for Los room showed delivered and I didn't get them. Then I laughed for a good 5 minutes at my dh when he dropped his phone. So really it's a fun roller coaster of emptions.

bethanne09 · May 2015

Just cried because an ingredient on a cooking show was tator tots and that's apparently not okay with me. The dogs look concerned, rightfully.

Deebaz720 · May 2015

Cried because my grandmother and grandfather in laws are pressuring me to name my future son after my husband making him the 4th one-I don't want to be bullied into a name! Ps I'm pregnant with a GIRL so I'm crying over my hypothetical far future possible son.

esampson1983 · May 2015

Any time I see a squishy baby face... Darn hormones! All these birth announcements make me cry every time!

I also cry when I can't figure out what I want for dinner- I want to be healthy but a chocolate milkshake sound so good!

And tonight I started crying because baby boy is still breech. Irrational? Probably.

At least this is happening at home for now so only DH has to put up with me and my crazy hormones!

mccall35 · May 2015

Over having GD and having to think about food all. the. time. But not in a fun way, in a stressful, frustrating and all around shitty way.

I just want ice cream.

And it makes me cry when I read about other ladies indulging their every pregnancy-craving whim.

It's only for a few more weeks, but it feels like forever and it just doesn't seen fair

Ahoward2490 · May 2015

I cried in a public restaurant last weekend because I had the thought that the baby will like my husband more than me. I've also imagined my baby being sad, upset or hurting and it made me cry because I could imagine her in pain and it broke my heart. So in most cases it has been my imagination that has caused it.

I cried tonight when my husband said he was trying to find a way to watch "the fight" tomorrow with his friends at a bar when I have a dinner party planned for his birthday (that he knows full well about). He asked if we could do PPV and I shot that down because I'm not paying $100 to watch two guys punch each other. You want to see a pregnant woman go from completely calm to mad in tears...suggest any of the above. He's lucky I didn't punch him. Just to be clear, if I hadn't been planning this party I wouldn't care if he headed to a bar to watch the fight. I just don't want to support that maddness, especially Mayweather. Eff that woman abuser.

MamaRAM · May 2015

I cried the other day--sobbing- because I felt miserable with both wrists hurting with carpal tunnel, sleepless and just plain over being pregnant. I wondered how could I take care of this baby when I can't even use my arms and it hurt to walk? Thankfully my hubby was understanding and comforted me the entire time. 4 more weeks!

dancegurl1118 · May 2015

I just cried reading the announcement of the royal baby. I'm not British. The phrase "safely delivered" got me all weepy....help.

I love the royal family! I woke up early for their wedding, gushed over Prince George... Love it all 8->

I have cried over hearing songs about beer. Funny thing was even when I did drink, I hated beer. I think it's just the fact that its been since August since I have had anything.

knwilliams01 · May 2015

I cried this morning because breakfast was 2 hours late (normally delivered at 8am in this hospital) and when it did arrive they forgot 1/2 my breakfast. I cried because it was just another example of how I have no control over simple things like when and what I eat. I just want to be able to pick out my own food - not the limited hospital menu where I have to order breakfast for the next day with my current breakfast. Hello - pregnancy cravings or aversions don't give 24 hr notice.

HoosOnFirst · May 2015

I cried this morning after I had a bad night of sleep and woke up DH twice. I feel terrible. He was like "it's the weekend, it's really ok!" But I cried anyway.

Raymer2 · May 2015

I cried hearing a dispatcher over an emt radio saying a lady wasn't breathing and they were beginning cpr. I have no clue who the lady was or why I was crying.

KaLikeAWind · May 2015

I was sitting outside watching DH do some yard work. The breeze picked up, its a little chilly, I put on my zip up hoodie, and the part over the bump would barely meet in the middle. Its a hoodie, so it stretched and DH zipped it for me, but I had to fight back tears as 1) my husband had to help me zip up a hoodie and 2) we had to *stretch* it (never mind that they are supposed to have some stretch in them, that we had to do it all...) and 3) we were in the front yard and I was about to cry in the front yard, where all the neighbors could see, and damnit, just thinking about that made me want to cry.

CBHoneyB · May 2015

A friend of mine just found out her husband was cheating on her while she was pregnant. She caught him because of text messages he got jn the middle if the night.

The other night my husbands phone buzzed several times in the middle of the night and I got upset. Nothing to get upset about it turned out to be emails for his military orders.

I know he wouldn't cheat, we've been together and through a ton over the past 12 years. My hormones just got away from me. He laughed about it, handed me his phone and told me everything was fine and I could look whenever I wanted.

thedo · May 2015

My dog pooped on the carpet this morning... Giant, soupy, smelly mess. My husband was at work and my 15 month old wanted to get out of her high chair to play:( I cried about being able to handle this with a newborn!

elizab14 · May 2015

This Allstate commercial called "never". Gets me every time.

I went to a Native American Faire today and caught the opening ceremony. I started to get weepy because I thought about the baby's Native American roots from both my side and my husband's side and how much I want her to feel the connection to her culture. When she started kicking to the drums I totally lost it.

The silliest thing though was chocolate milk. I was craving chocolate milk and spaghetti and my husband said he was "positive" there was chocolate syrup in the house. After I made my spaghetti, I asked him for the chocolate and he said "I guess I was wrong. It's not here." I was so upset at him for being so nonchalant about it that I started crying. He was so confused... poor guy!

larissaolsen · May 2015

One time I cried because I read an article about elephants and how they prepare their living space for their new babies, and I thought it was so beautiful that somewhere on the other side of the world, an elephant was nestling, just like me. I felt a strong kinship with her and cried at the beauty of it, I am such a nut job when I'm pregnant.

lospollitos · May 2015

I cried yesterday because while listening to some live violin being played, baby started moving. He stopped every time the music stopped and started up again as soon as another song began, sooo amazing!

thedo · May 2015

A country song.... She thinks we're just fishing

tdotson0722 · May 2015

I cried this morning because it's warm outside and I only have one pair of shorts to wear. Well I shopped online and I felt better

JessHeppell · May 2015

almost ready to cry over looking through facebook and stumbling across puppy pet pages that are selling puppies (not puppy mills) and im just so sad because i really want one.

my dream growing up was to have my baby grow up with a puppy so they can have that bond and now i cant have that cause we live in a no pets apartment :'C

Serenamarr · May 2015

Basically any slow country song ever. Particularly "don't take the girl" by Tim McGraw. It starts out with a little boy whose dad is taking him fishing and the neighbor girl asks to come and he's like no dad don't take the girl! Then they're older and on a date and a guy comes to rob them and he's like take my money but don't take the girl! And then they're having a baby and she's having complications in delivery and he prays to God take my life, don't take the girls! I bawl every time.
