Who is the one person that is getting on your nerves this pregnancy?

Blubandit85 · June 2015

My Co worker is driving me crazy. Usually I let things go but with the extra hormones I just can't lol.

drea0983 · June 2015

Hahaha I'm having issues with my coworker as well! I just feel like she's always next to me and talking! Sometimes I just want to tell her to shut up and leave me alone!

jmacd22 · June 2015

Almost everyone for me lol

amylou512 · June 2015

For me it's probably my boss. She's completely stressing about my maternity leave and keeps reminding me how terrible it's going to be when I'm gone for three months. It's really nice to be needed, but her complaining stresses me out too and it's not like I need anything more to stress about.

shaunnar053 · June 2015

People who leave their grocery carts next to my car in parking lots... Hey, lazy, inconsiderate, jerk face, I'm 7 months pregnant and still put my cart away... Wtf is your excuse?!?!

jennsuzanne87 · June 2015

My dogs. My poor dogs. They just drive me nuts. They must sense that they are about to be lower priority once the babe is here because they are EXTRA needy- and it's not endearing anymore.

LaurenNewph · June 2015

@shaunnarose that is probably one of my husband's biggest pet peeves. It aggravates me too but no to the level it drives my husband!

My husband is the one that is driving me nuts... But not in a horrible way... More like in an innocent way. He has such a laid back attitude about the baby. Sort of like "whatever we'll figure it out when we have to," kind of way. I'm sort of jealous and wish I could adopt some of that!

I'm a SAHM so I'm with my five kids 24/7 and hubby when he's home from work. They aren't getting on my nerves really but dealing with the sibling squabbles and tantrums are a million times more difficult and frustrating when pregnant. Hubby has been trying to be more attentive to things that need to get done without me having to nag so he's on my good list (I jest, I jest....... mostly).

My three older girls left this morning for a sleepover. It's good to have a break when we are all together, all the time. When I just have the two younger boys it's a lot easier (ages 2 and 3) because they play with blocks and play mostly independently at this age still.

No, the people who truly annoy me are the people I distance myself from. They're not bad people. Just everything they say annoys me greatly right now so I steer clear.

lolad5 · June 2015

@jennsuzanne87 my dogs bother me too!! My male blue heeler got bit by a pitbull, so he's on some meds and has to wear a cone so he doesn't get to his wounds and he follows me and hits me with his cone and shakes it when he's bored. I'm so ready for him to be normal again. It drives me freaking crazy.

beansideirae · June 2015

my ex-roommate. we just moved into our own place and the couple we were living with, the girl is being a B$&@# and pretty much making me want to cry every couple days. mind you she really is, so it's not just that I'm pregnant, but I'm sure my hormones are making it harder to just take it in stride.

v1wwo · June 2015

Myself... I am my worst enemy.

Growingapepper · June 2015

My Nana. Originally she was going to come out for a little after the baby was born. But at the time I didn't know my dad or husband's dad planned on coming out so now I have an overwhelming amount of people staying at our house during my maternity leave. I had to tell my Nana she can't come out anymore, I'm restricting it to just our parents. She hasn't really been giving me a hard time about it but she cried and she said she doesn't understand why she still can't come out and didnt . I tried to explain to her that this is our home and we need some alone time just me husband and new baby to learn and bond and be a family. I only get 6 weeks of maternity leave I don't want all that time to be spent with guests. Ugh it just bothers me that she thinks I'm being unfair and hurtful on purpose or something and is too selfish to put her feelings aside and be understanding instead of making me feel like the bad guy. I tried apologizing and explaining but it doesn't help, I hate feeling like this.

mdk2015 · June 2015

I couldn't pick just one person if I tried. It's to the point now where I don't like going out in public because I just know there are triggers lurking. Its best if I just keep to myself. Safer for everyone. My temper has been off the charts.

excited2bmommy09 · June 2015

I am with @v1wwo, I am driving myself crazy! I do not like my ups and downs that are occurring these days and I don't like my lack of patience with the world around me. Especially with the people I love so much. I managed to start a fight with my SO last night right before bed and was up until 1 am crying alone in the living room. And I had no one to blame for my misery except me, myself and I.

I completely agree with you! My goodness, he's so relaxed and laid back about having this baby that sometimes I want to bite his face off but others I admire him for it because I could never be that laid back.
I helped raise my niece who's now 5 so I have a lot of experience, he on the other hand has never changed a diaper. I'm still a nervous wreck because I want to be as prepared as I possibly can and he's not the least bit worried.

wannabeamongoose · June 2015

People who drive Lexus SUVs. I swear to god they are the most self entitled, egocentric, unaware people on the face of the planet (my apologies to any of you nice ladies who drive Lexis SUVs). Sure you can cut me off/tail me/honk at me/give me the finger. So sorry I'm only driving 5 over the speed limit. I must be such an inconvenience.

mrscate88 · June 2015

No one is annoying me yet, but just wait until August when I'm huge and hot and tired... ;-)

TabulaRasa25 · June 2015

Strangers in stores who are rude and block aisles for unending amounts of time, get pushy, etc. I'm usually pretty suffer-in-silence in terms of rude customers, and just let it go, but I did snap at a lady who was PUSHING at the farmer's market.

krisrasmussen · June 2015

Rude people at the grocery store. I swear I run into at least 2 every time I go. I was putting my things on the belt and trying to be fast and this woman that looked like she was in her 60's started putting her stuff up before I could get it all put on, so her stuff was pushing mine and I had no where to put it except to hold it and hand it to the cashier. It was soo rude! I just looked at her and she looked away like nothing was wrong. Ughh!

AndieTessie · June 2015

People at the store who reach over me or get insanely close to grab something from the same isle I'm in. Will it kill you to wait 5 seconds to grab the milk after I'm out of the way?? I'm pregnant and moving as fast as I can, stop getting in my personal space!!

natasha1907 · June 2015

My fiances brother and girlfriend, she found out she was pregnant and was only 2-4 weeks and at 6 weeks found out the egg was not growing, so they miscarried. Now me being 25 weeks they won't look at me, I walk into a room they leave, I can't talk about my baby, there mom doesn't want me having any baby stuff around them.. but it's hard when we all live under the same roof... ya know? Just very stressful. I love talking about my baby and pregnancy but when I do I get nasty looks and it's just so aggravating.. at this point idk what to do..

This. I park my car too close to things (like the bushes outside my house) because i still think I'm normal sized and bitch myself out later.

Yes... Always! This is one of the many things my sister and I share in common... Though she has NEVER been the type to suffer in silence! She has been known to move people's carts to other aisles because they blocked the aisle and left! I love my sister because she has the guts to do/say things I'd never do!

jennsuzanne87 · June 2015

@Mehilovna- I still think I am normal sized too! LMAO. I can't even keep count of the number of times I try to squeeze through spaces I don't fit through any more. Or try to squeeze into old pants planning on just using a bella band... haha yeah right. Sorry self, you got some thighs now.

sgleave · June 2015

I have been dealing with a string of incompetency from the management of my townhouse complex to a business deal with the most unprofessional company I have ever encountered to the admin in my office who can't be bothered to set up a conference call, aka do her job. So everyone is kind of on my nerves right now, I can't catch a break!

callistosmile · June 2015

Almost every person at my work place. I'm a concierge and the bowing and scraping and opening doors and pretending I care about their problems is so not easy anymore. I'm such a cranky b**** these days. I used to love my job, too.

chelseajeanene · June 2015

Unfortunately my mom!

HMLanders · June 2015

I've only been seriously pissed off once so far throughout my pregnancy, and it was going to the grocery store yesterday. I saw two carts in a spot, so I moved the carts to the corral so I could park in the spot. As I was walking the 10 feet to put away the 2 carts, a lady put another cart in the parking spot!!!!!! WTF! I put that cart away, too, after giving her the evil-eye and pushing the cart with as much attitude as I can muster (I hate confrontation). THEN, when I was finished grocery shopping there was another cart between my vehicle and the one parked in front of me. I was livid!!! People are so lazy.

It takes quite a bit to make me mad, but I was infuriated for the rest of the day. I probably won't get frustrated like that again until August when I go back to school (and hopefully not even then)

I'm a teacher! Luckily, I won't be there long before my little man comes!

jbettles · June 2015

My coworker is one month ahead of me in pregnancy and is about the most annoying, know it all, hypocritical person I've ever met... Thank GOD we're teachers, she's gone for the summer, and by the time she gets back from mat leave it'll be my turn to go!!!

Also, my SIL - she is a selfish, manipulative you know what - she cheated on my brother's husband with his best friend (over ten times by her count). She then ran off to her sister's house (13 hour drive) with their three kids, and has now convinced BIL she was a victim, it was his fault she cheated, and to move up there to work everything out with her. SO angry at her and her manipulative ways!! Kinda annoyed BIL is basically following her around like a little lost puppy, too! And to be just completely selfish myself - NOW NO ONE CARES ABOUT MY BABY!! (Seriously, I understand that's not a huge deal, but STILL! Lol!)

DreaMak · June 2015

My father in law gets on my nerves soo bad ive started to completly ignore and block hom out from everything. Hes the type of person that repeats himself about everything and claims my baby is basically his because his son is the dad. The most annoying thing in the world! -.-

I hated this pre-pregnancy, huge pet peeve of mine! My dad always taught me to be considerate and stay out of the flow of traffic (wherever that traffic might be!) Sadly one of my good friends always leaves her basket in the middle of every single aisle and walks away to get stuff. It's embarrassing! I have to limit my shopping experiences with her.

surprisepkg31 · June 2015

This thread just made me feel so much better. Lol the grocery is such a succubus of anger for me! I can't handle all the busy bodies and slow oblivious ass hats that scoot around like they own the joint. And isn't it funny how that one person seems to meet you on every other isle. They follow you and then the one time.you need to stop and look for something, it's like 5 old cranky ladies will need to get to the shelf right under you. Uggg!!!

My biggest annoyance is just anyone who gets all Mary sunshine on me about pregnancy, telling me to "cherish every moment" or to look on the bright side of everything. I get that their just trying to be encouraging about my vents but I'm sorry there is nothing to cherish about constipation, swollen ankles and a widening dimpled butt!!! Not to mention 9 months of no wine during one of the most anxious times of my life!

Knottie00400192 · June 2015

My insecure and evil co worker...I swear I see all her scandalous flaws now more than ever, and my husband has been at the top of that list as well. I love him but man, he knows how to get under my skin.

Drey329 · June 2015

My MIL. It's like I can suddenly see through the innocent act and notice the passive-aggressive or selfish things she does "by accident"

PCMac · June 2015

My coworkers and my animals! They are all so needy for attention and appraisal... upside to hating my coworkers is there is only 3 of them and 2 are leaving in july. Unfortunately my fur babies are here to stay but i just want to lock them away some days.

str13 · June 2015

@Mehilovna & @jennsuzanne87 me too!! I cannot judge my actual size. At work I'll think I can squeeze behind something or fit in a space. When I try it's hilarious!! I told someone yesterday that my "suck it in" was broken!!

meredithhay · June 2015

@Drey329 Your response, is exactly what I've said to my own mother, regarding my MIL.

My MIL, from the get-go has been this play- innocent sweet but really be passive agressive giving underhanded comments, bitch.
DH and I have been together 7 years, married for 5 and she's always been this really soft sweet person, stays more in the background and gives typical Hallmark gifts for nonsense holiday's. But... enter the news of my pregnancy, and she's been all.over.our.shit and I'm about to hit the roof.

Here's a good story for you ladies,
We finally settled on a rocker and learned it would take approximately 8 weeks to be ordered. Since we were entering the third trimester soon (I was around 25 weeks) we knew we weren't going to put it on our registry. So we simply said to the in laws & my parents "HEY, IF YOU'RE LOOKING FOR A SPECIAL GIFT TO GET US, WE'VE PICKED OUT OUR ROCKER BUT WON'T BE PUTTING IT ON THE REGISTRY." Since both sides have shown interest in getting "a nice gift" that won't likely be purchased by baby shower attendees.

My MIL's response, calls both DH & myself and asks if this means we're in "financial hot water" ... WTF. We first pulled our jaws off the floor, since we're both very established in our careers with our respective companies and although we closed on a house in December, she was recently invited over in April to see what all we've done with the place... we assume she thinks we've spent too much decorating, which is NOT the case. Let's talk about the totally empty media room, totally empty game room and half empty home office. My in laws live very conservatively, as do my husband and I but we can't hide the fact we bought a brand new spec home that happened to be a better deal at the time than buying pre-owned. They meddle in wanting to know about our finances but honestly, we're doing GREAT. I just don't understand where she gets her assumptions and then passive-agressively turns nothing into something. Ugh. Rant over. The end!

Drey329 · June 2015

@meredithhay That's so obnoxious! Why on earth would that be the automatic assumption?? Sometimes I really wonder if MILs secretly hope we fail so they can swoop in and be needed again. It's definitely interesting watching mine shift from trying to make friends with me to only caring about the baby. Last time she came to visit, she made me pose for a photo but it was ONLY of the bump to "show her friends"... who cares about the incubator?

meredithhay · June 2015

@Drey329 I think you're onto something with your theory... they're all a little crazy inside! Yeah, I feel like a prop/incubator when she calls her future granddaughter "her baby" ... not so much lady. You did not grow this child, you will not birth this child, therefore this is not "your" child! By all means, she is your granddaughter and that's how you may refer to her!!

1Arieona · June 2015

My husband. He is getting on my every nerve. I can't stand him atm. He is so inconsiderate. I'm the only one working in our house atm and he has the nerve to call me lazy and ask me to cook dinner when I come home from work. All I want to do is lay down for just a little while. Geez :-/

abbeylee1994 · June 2015

My MIL has gotten on my nerves basically my whole pregnancy, she's told people in my family, who didn't want to know what we were having, and she went and opened her mouth and told everyone,
It's their first grandchild and EVERYTHING she's bought has been second hand, don't get me wrong I appreciate it and all, but it makes me feel like we're not good enough for brand new stuff. She's gone and bought 6 massive garbage bags of baby clothes, which has basically ruined the whole experience for me of being a first time mum and not having the chance to really buy anything for my child ourselves. Which every single bit of clothing she's bought has been second hand.

And now she's organising the baby shower, and has invited all these people that I know don't like me and I can't stand them.
She's even got my baby's ultrasound photo as her profile picture on Facebook and has cropped my name and all the details out of it. She's constantly calling my baby "her little peanut" honestly sounds like she's gonna take my child and run when we have him.

Sorry for the long comment, she's just really getting under my skin
