Monday Pity Party Bitchfest

AggieKim · June 2015

I don't think I saw one already...

My son has a cold. I think I'm getting it. All I want is Advil and I'm having to make do with Tylenol. Blahhhhhhh my throat hurts.

And today we start swimming lessons and have gymnastics later which we've missed the last 3 weeks.

And first world problems...I have to order an air compressor of some sort because I got a rad inflatable pool and slide from Sam's club and have no way to inflate them. I knew it, but I just don't want to wait two days for my Amazon Prime.

I must be moody.

DH's parents called last night and he told them they could come visit next weekend. I am furious because:

1. We have our first OB appointment that Friday. If we get good news, I would've liked to go out to dinner just the two of us and celebrate. If we get bad news, the last thing I want to do is pretend everything's okay with my inlaws staying at my house.

2. I have a baby shower to go to on that Saturday and will be gone for several hours anyway.

3. My foot is still broken (though it'll probably be a lot better by then) which makes it harder to clean the house for their visit. DH is notorious for sort-of helping then saying, we don't have to clean, it's my parents. Um, no. Your parents are my in-laws and oh, yes your mother WILL be judging me for a messy house.

4. We hadn't planned to tell anybody about our baby news until the 4th of July when we went to visit my parents, then planned to invite his to come visit one of the next 2 weekends. So, we either have to hide it while they're visiting (which I told DH we have no idea what to expect as far as my symptoms by then) or tell them early. I wanted to tell my parents first because I know they won't tell anyone if we ask them not to. The ILs don't use Facebook, but I could totally see FIL accidentally mentioning it to some other family member where it would spread like wildfire through their huge, small town family and end up on FB in minutes.

More than any of this though, I'm furious that he put me on the spot while he was on the phone. When I mentioned our appointment and the baby shower, he said out loud and on the phone "Oh, Jen has a baby shower, but that's no big deal." Obviously, I had many other reasons, but he didn't give me the chance to talk to him privately about them, instead telling his parents that weekend was fine.

He apologized to me, and he understands that he should've told them he'd check with me and get back to them, but I'm still SO ANGRY!

My oldest likes to pick out his breakfast. Some days he wants cereal some days he wants poptarts. I don't care either way which he chooses and we always have both in the house. Well this morning when he picked a poptart DH starts a rant about how we aren't going to buy him cereal anymore because he never eats it.... except it's about 50/50 for what he will eat so just shush.

A girl I adore in my other BMB says she closes what the kids will eat someone's based on how much she feels like cleaning. If she's not into cleaning, she picks what the dog will eat.

lol. What kind of dogs does she have that they won't just eat anything? My dogs have been a serious sanity saving grace with a toddler/going through the whole transition to solid foods. I've had to quickly scoop up some avocado/raisins/things dogs shouldn't eat, but for the most part ... freaking miracles.

angc4 · June 2015

First day at work on decaf.

I'm well aware of the caffeine I'm allowed to have and plan on using it, I just decided to start decaf at home so that I can somewhat ween myself. Might be hitting up Starbucks at lunch!

PaniaO · June 2015

Kaiser confirmed pregnancy but won't release my beta levels--and I woke up with cramps. Boo. I have to go back to check the doubling rate, but I can't cut into my work responsibilities without looking like a complete ass. Not a fan of secrets today. Also had scary dreams last night. Today feels... :-/ Here's hoping for less ambiguity as the day(s) unfold(s). Happy Monday, ladies.

ETA: Beta # released (my first)! So two days ago it was 80, at 13/14 dpo by my calculations with late O. Progesterone was 24. Glad to know but my new bitchfest is having to work all day and not knowing my next results until who-knows-when...!

g0lightly8706 · June 2015

woohoo bitchfest!

I went to the river yesterday and even after reapplying sunscreen every hour i am still so sunburnt and combined with the morning sickness, this is an awful morning! plus i have to go to work in a bit and pretend to be happy and cheery when i just want to go back to sleep in a bath full of aloe. plus yesterday i had to deal with an ungrateful client who made everything seem like it was my fault when in reality i did everything i could to please them.. by the way i'm a freelance photographer lol.. anyways, it's just a crappy morning! least i can vent here tho!

My FIL's side of the family is trying to plan a family reunion next year and SIL is purposely trying to exclude us and/or make us look bad. DD's school year for 1st grade (at a new school) will start 8/3 and SIL's giving us a hard time for not just taking her out of school for a week so we can do 8/13-20 so her husband only has to take 2 days off of work. So she basically called us out in a group message as being inflexible and using the "It's not every day grandma turns 85 and she might die soon" card so we should just make it happen. (Because oh they're having to use PTO and having to pay for school/day care, but it's IMPORTANT to them so they'll do it.) Oh, and they're "100% IN" and "100% flexible" and "SO SUPER excited".

The most accurate way I can describe her is in dog-terms. She wants to be alpha. She wants to control every get-together, every holiday. She metaphorically pees on every extended family member to mark them as hers. If people come to town, she monopolizes their schedules and goes over the top with them. She totally snubs me. I've made efforts with her--offering to babysit ("no, we're fine"), offered to help with both of her baby showers ("no, we're covered"), asking them to get together, and I've tried to carry on conversations with her. She just answers my questions, but doesn't ask me anything all with her phone in her face. I'm pretty sure it's insecurity, but everyone has some level of insecurity, you don't have to be a total bitch about it.

Oh and to make things worse, she's turning our 4 year old niece into a mean girl.

Other than it being a typical stupid monday... My boss has already gotten on my nerves countless times today. I then attempted to eat my morning snack ( banana ) and she cant stand the smell. So, I was asked to go eat it outside! Grr... not even kidding! And, I want a cup of coffee

Hope your Monday gets better ladies!

LMMama · June 2015

Monday is always my BF and I's date night. And now I can't have alcohol anymore. And date night just isn't as fun without booze. I said it.

My work has also been extremely demanding lately. I just want to be able to tell them I'm pregnant so people can take it easy on me!

twinmom1121 · June 2015

My mil was all worried that I hadn't started having morning sickness yet (a few days ago) and that it wasn't a good sign. I think she jinxed me because I started feeling sick the next morning. When I texted her to tell her I finally got sick she said "oh good!". Gee thanks... And I've felt sick every morning since. Ugh. (I didn't start having morning sickness until 6ish weeks last time!)

DaisyTortilla · June 2015

My 1 year old woke up every 30 minutes last night. That is all. O.O

LittleLotero · June 2015

My daughter had a kindergarten assessment this morning to see how she ranks (she did amazing) - however that required me to have to come in a half day late to work (I work from home). And of course ALL of my work was still waiting for me! There are 4 other people on my team - an they were all being lazy ass bitches today.

I'm pissed - and tired. Gimme a nap.

Life is Exciting · June 2015

My MIL made a rude comment yesterday that I'm still thinking about. (She knows about the pregnancy).

She said "when I was pregnant with all my kids, I actually DID stuff, like mow the lawn and clean."

I'm guessing it was a backhanded comment about my previous pregnancy when I got really big really fast during the hottest summer I could remember and my feet were swollen up like koosh balls.

Who doesn't like the smell of a banana? Weirdo.

Lol I'm not sure. Her example is her dog won't eat Cheerios but will eat cinnamon toast crunch.

strlitemiss · June 2015

I havent cleaned since Friday. Did anyone else pick up my slack? Of course not.

MaybeMab · June 2015

This might be the dumbest thing ever BUT

my husband worked from home today just so he could watch the apple keynote. I"m stuck watching it. Talk about a snooze fest. He keeps trying to talk to me about new updates... DUDE, can we turn this off yet? I don't care how when you get an invite it automatically gets added to your calendar.

Oh that is just one of her quirks! She is unreal. She came into my office gagging and saying go eat that outside lol And this is a 60 year old woman. Oh and I cant make coffee bc her husband doesnt like that smell in the office either. Anyone wanna trade?

mrs3615 · June 2015

WTF was with the checkout lady at Safeway last night??? She was horrible! So rude and even made a dirty look about me to another coworker in front of me! I'm sorry I asked you to clarify that a bag of cherries was originally $20! WTF??? The sign said $2.99! In really small letters it said a pound, (which she made me feel super stupid about - literally she said "Cherries are NEVER $299 a BAG!"), but even still, I can do basic math, if I purchased 2 lbs of cherries, my total shouldn't be $14 if the promo is $2.99 a pound????!!!!

WTF is with the air conditioning being on full effing blast today. Normally this is welcome, but I'm really cold.

WTF is with the stupid garbage trucks and dump trucks coming to our apartment or the areas beinh it EVERY DAY. I'm so nervous to have a newborn with all this racket. I really hope we can buy a home before the baby is too old!

Vkrosa · June 2015

CRAZY RANT....... Can't stand my husband right now!!!! My husband is really angry about this pregnancy and I know we have a lot going on but he is REALLY insensitive! We have two DD that are 5&7, I lost a baby in October. His "kind" words today.... Your chances for this baby lasting suck your high risk! I swear I lost my mind. It takes TWO to create a baby. Yes we didn't plan it to happen but guess what darlin it's a little to late to turn back now. Ugh if this keeps up I don't know what I'm going to do. I just wish I could hear some kind words about it all.

bethechangekaren · June 2015

I went for a walk last night, and NO ONE I encountered moved to their half of the sidewalk so we could pass each other like civilized people. Every single asshole glared at me when I refused to walk on the grass or in the street, forcing them to step aside and share the damn public sidewalk.

NutMeg474 · June 2015

I got home today from work after feeling sick all day. DH knows that I've been feeling awful. Well, I go upstairs to say hi (he works from home) and he says, "So, I can eat dinner at 5 if you want to make it. I have to work til 5, but I'll come downstairs then and we can have dinner." I've been sitting on the couch for the last 20 minutes trying to eat crackers. DH is great and all, but come on! I do not want to stand up in the kitchen long enough to make dinner that I probably won't be able to eat.

@bethechangekaren - ugh, I HATE that. I don't understand why people can't move over and expect others to get out of their way.

bredoll · June 2015

The scores for the most recent part of the CPA (Certified Public Accountant) test I took get released at 1 am. I normally wallow in my misery and angst with a few adult beverages which of course can't happen. If I pass this part I only have to pass one more and I'm done. If I failed I have to pass 2 more parts before November. In addition to my current status of constantly feeling like I need to throw up, lets add in that pressure and stress. Ugh.

Awe VKROSA- sorry your husband is being insensitive. Sometimes I swear they are the ones with the hormones! ***Hugs*** hope it gets better soon.

I'm feeling alone in my excitement. I confirmed my suspicions on Saturday with the home test, told DH later in the after noon and we told DD that night because I knew I would need someone to be excited with. We decided to tell my family yesterday only because my whole immediate family would be together. No one seemed excited. I got crap from them because I shouldn't be telling people this early- really, I thought I should be able to share exciting news with my closest family. My sister (who I work with) said she almost asked me yesterday, but didn't. So I said- it's ok for you to ask, but to early for me to tell you. I mean really?!? My mom- she just said, well I hope the test was right- gee thanks for the encouragement. Now when I ask DH if he wants to tell his mom tomorrow at DD's kindergarten graduation or wait until his parents are together - he tells me he can't think about that right now. I know he has a lot going on at work (the company is changing over this week) and his school (he's in his last few weeks of college) but I was thinking that during his hour long drive home from work, he could think happy thoughts and figure out when he wants to share with his family. But apparently I'm the bitch because I'm pushing this on him- really- because this change in news doesn't change every aspect of my daily life (what I eat, what I wear, how much I sleep) - I thought we were a team!

Thanks for letting me rant - hope everything gets a little easier for all of us!

I am so sorry he's being so rude like that! My husband doesn't get excited about things and I find that frustrating, but yours is being a jerk!

g8trkim · June 2015

My kids found scissors yesterday and cut up the shirts they were wearing. NEW shirts at that! At least it wasn't their hair.

I went on a girls weekend and had to out myself because it was weird that I kept refusing drinks. It's totally fine, but of course that meant I became DD.

I've been feeling nauseous today... and so it begins.

We are going to DH's nieces b-day party this weekend out of town which means 1) I have to see MIL and 2) we are staying with DH's grandmother even though we would way rather stay in a hotel.

MaybeMab · June 2015

WTF self, get it together.....

Decided to make hard boiled eggs.. Out them on the stove and then completely forgot about it. One egg was completely split open.

Pregnancy brain begins.

AmadorRose · June 2015

The professor in my humanities class seems to think that a music appreciation class is the equivalent to neurosurgery. You have a PhD in music, congrats on having no applicable skills in case of a zombie apocalypse. I love music but seriously, she needs to calm it down!
So, I think I may be one of those hangry pregnant women...hahaha

WLJ2 · June 2015

I strongly dislike my direct boss. He does not trust me one bit. He has stated it is because I am new. I have been there for 3 months now but come on! I called to get information on something today and relayed that info to him fifteen minutes later or so he comes in and tells me he called and I was right. Seriously, I know I was right I made the call. And this girl I work with... don't know where to start. She is so bossy and has been there for 12 years and thinks she is always right. She cuts people off and her famous quote "your not hearing what I am saying". There are to many attitudes at my place of employment. At least my boyfriend is very supportive and did the dishes today.

inomniaparatus · June 2015

I get an annual three month hiatus from work and I feel like I'm wasting my hiatus just counting down the days to my first doctor's appt.
I'm so happy to be pregnant and grateful that it didn't take too long and came in the exact month I hoped it would (so I have 3 months maternity leave that will lead right into my 3 month hiatus next year) but I'm paralyzed with fear that it's not real (despite 8 very strong/ not one faint line positive tests) or that something will go wrong. My husband and mom think I'm crazy for worrying so much since I'm 30, have zero health problems, healthy weight and no one in our family has ever had probs.

I'm just so scared and am sitting home paralyzed in fear everyday instead of enjoying my time off!

My inlaws reacted similar when we told them. My mil just said with no smile or anything "well... That's exciting...". My fil didn't say anything until we asked him what we thought and then he was like "well I just don't want you to get too excited if it ends up in a miscarriage" (I've never had one). And then my inlaws parents, we told over FaceTime and all they said was "well we think that one kid is good" (we already have twins!) and then "well it's your life..". I mean really? Way to be supportive and excited. At least my family couldn't be more excited..

camusoh2011 · June 2015

Oh, saw my mom for the first time in a year yesterday. We have not been talking, don't get along, and I have been more than okay with it. Well, it was my nephews birthday and she was there. No big deal, I can be civil and all. Well it was hot out and I was fanning myself while we sat outside and let the kids play. She comes up and starts saying things like "dang preggo" and "accidents aren't all that bad". Excuse me! Just because you never planned any of your children and bailed on them as soon as something "better" came along does not mean that I didn't plan mine. Every one of my children were planned with a lot of thought and discussion. Urg! I was so irritated! To top it off the rest of my family just sat there awkwardly because they knew we hadn't been getting along. No one knew what to say or do.

Uggg so annoying! When DH told MIL her response was, "Oh... was it on purpose?" Also, she went on to say, "I wish I would have stopped at two." How terrible! Because that basically means she wishes her daughter was never born. What is wrong with people?

SmilesMcGee · June 2015

I spent my one day a without children in bed lazy with DH watching old episodes of the wire yesterday and was terribly punished today....... I had to get up 2 hrs early to clean house for an inspection this morning because I had to be at my stepdaughter's school at 7:50 to chaperone a zoo field trip. Her mother (who only has 6 nights with her a month) brought her to school at 8:15 giving her the 24th tardy of the school year (I admit one was on my time, but hey we live 40min from the school) A single mom blatantly hits on my oblivious DH while waiting to leave on the buses literally talking over me as I try to speak to my DH. An activity bus breaks down causes us to leave almost an hour late. Then neither bus we do take has air conditioning (45min to the zoo in 95°) then on the way home this afternoon I say we should tell the kids tonight about expecting a brother or sister and DH bites my head off says we can't tell because his mother will be very unhappy and can't know yet. By the way this is a planned pregnancy. So now I am all alone in my joy and feeling down and like my baby is already the unwanted black sheep of the family.

Grrrrr........ irresponsible mothers, disrespectful women, and MEN grrr.... MEN

That is my hormonal Monday Bitchfest
