Let's get started - what do you have to bitch about today?

ETA: Alternatively, who/what in your life is just a total bitch right now?

mommytimesfour · March 2016

It's Monday, everyone went to bed an hour later than usual because of Daylight Savings, and I woke up with a miserable sore throat. Oh, and I'm out of coffee. I'd love a nap at some point today but I don't think my two year old will agree with that.

LizC216 · March 2016

That I've been feeling worse in the second tri. These migraines are out of control and they always are accompanied by nausea/vomitting. And now I have some cold with ridiculous sinus pressure on top of it. I'm miserable and I just want to feel like myself again.

AnnaS930 · March 2016

I'm experiencing my same million wakeups every night of pregnancy that I had with my last - not to pee, not from bad dreams, not from anything I can identify - I usually change position and go back to bed, but nights are SO LONG. That added with soreness from not stretching after running, and my kiddo having a cold and snoring/coughing all night.. I swear I saw every hour on the clock last night. I'm exhausted today. It's such a Monday.

Silver lining - only working Mon/Tuesday this week then off to Rhode Island for March Madness!

PSUBecky23 · March 2016

I hate early pregnancy, before feeling the baby moving and showing. I have no reason to be concerned but I hate not having the reassurance of kicks and a bump. (Luckily my NT scan is today.)

vampirina · March 2016

I'd like to bitch about everything.

My nose for picking up even the tiniest of smells and thinking everything smells foul.

DST for messing with my sleep cycle and making me even more tired.

My boss for throwing project after project at me with "immediate" and "urgent" labels. I have no energy for this!

DH for complaining that he's done the dishes regularly for the last 8 weeks - well guess who did them DAILY for the previous 2.5 YEARS!

I'm sure I'll be adding more here as the day goes on. Monday is currently kicking my ass. Is it Friday yet?!

ElcaB · March 2016

I realize we all run late here and there (and for some people, always), but I'd like to bitch about people who are LATE late. If you're going to be more than 10 minutes late, you send a "Hey, I'm running late. On my way!" text. If you don't, you are a huge asshole. Be respectful of other people's time.

Thscary · March 2016

I am an idiot. I am helping throw a baby shower for my SIL (who doesn't even really like me) and I ended up giving away the rubber ducky theme I want for my own and spending a ton of money on decorations/gifts. I want to keep it all for myself, and I don't care if it's selfish.

@annas930 I feel you on the waking up a million times thing. I haven't gotten a good nights sleep in close to two weeks

camichael84 · March 2016

My bitch is about my mother. She has been regularly texting me to check on how I'm feeling. That's all great and fine, but she ends every text with "I pray you feel better soon." Even after I told her my MS was gone. Look, I'm not against prayers, but praying over my perfectly normal, healthy morning sickness? It's ridiculous, unnecessary, and irritates the hell out of me.

Edit for wording.

AnnaS930 · March 2016

LOL, that's karma @camichael84 for pretending it lasted longer than it did to avoid one of her visits ... don't think I forgot that already

But also, I wouldn't be pleased about that either. Like - it's normal, it's pregnancy, no need to pray anything changes, I'm good!

tklemp1 · March 2016

I am so tired of being tired. I want to get so much done but my body just says NOPE!

camichael84 · March 2016

@AnnaS930 Haha! I wondered if anyone would remember that! She's coming over today so hopefully the prayers for my now non-existent MS will cease.

UnwritteN12 · March 2016

DS who is currently telling me "I do not want to go to the park!!" because I won't let him take his Legos with him. It's going to be in the mid-80's today with a nice breeze and you don't want to go to the park because you can't bring your toys with you that are going to get lost?! I'm about to lock him in the back yard with the trampoline and all the other outside toys and say "Go entertain yourself" instead of having DH take him to the park.

Forever0905 · March 2016

I'm so sick of people telling me I'm having a girl. It's inevitably followed up with an explanation of how I've gained weight somewhere (face/ hips are the fav), so they can totally tell it's a girl. Thanks for making me feel fat and ugly today.

For the record I'd be thrilled with a girl. Or a boy.

cammlyn · March 2016

We are starting the bank process for our add on for our house. The stress is a mega B word. The headaches are from hell. 12 hr shifts suck donkey balls. My back hurts my neck hurts. And I am tired as hell.

Wow that made me feel better lol

I had someone tell me that last pregnancy. She was an older woman, so I let it slide, but she came right out and said "You've heard that they say girls suck the beauty out of their mothers, right? Well, you are definitely having a girl."

Gee, thanks.

For the record, I had a boy.

I have ended friendships because of perpetual lateness. I'm talking like, 20-30 minutes late, every single time. That is probably my #1 pet peeve.

LakeR2014 · March 2016

My relative is my bitchfest. We happily announced to the family weeks ago that we were preggers. Everyone was excited except for one person. Wasn't sure why, just figured they were having an off day or god forbid they were trying and having trouble. Regardless, didn't push because, ya never know. Come to find out last night when they announced their pregnancy, that it was because we 'stole their thunder.' Apparently they wanted to be the newest one with the news, but they're due a month after us and so were mad that we 'took the excitement away from them.' I was like - 'whoa, wait, what!?!' How does that even compute? Everyone was/is equally excited for them - but apparently since we'll both be preggers at the same time, the 'thunder' of the pregnancy will be taking away from them. Huh?

camichael84 · March 2016

@LakeR2014 Sorry. Your relative sounds like a selfish AW. Did they think they were going to be the only one in the world pregnant at this time? Does your being pregnant somehow make them less pregnant? Frankly, I would have just been happy that I had someone close to me to be pregnant with. Hope they don't think your child steals their child's thunder by daring to be a baby at the same time.

Shiva14 · March 2016

^ This! I love having someone to be pregnant with, I had a close friend and a close relative last time. This time I'm the only one and I miss it! Their loss, you take all the thunder you want. Each pregnancy is special.

AnnaS930 · March 2016

@LakeR2014 - Yeah, that's ridiculous. She's acting like a baby, which is kind of hilarious given the circumstances. I am also super excited to have a couple close pregnant friends this time around, she's missing out by acting so selfish. I saw some announcements prior to when I was ready to make mine and just smiled to myself - certainly was not rude about it. It was fun to think "Me too! Me too!" but not tell anybody.

I hate it! There were 2 baby showers for my SIster in law this weekend and she was 45 min-an hour late for both!!! How rude! People put so much time and effort in for you and you can't even be on time?! She didn't even say sorry.

@tklemp1 I'm so sick of being tired! I don't have time for it anymore. Can I just get some energy back?

LakeR2014 · March 2016

@AnnaS930 @camichael84 exactly! I would've been super excited to share some of the pregnancy awesomeness and non-awesomeness with her, but now I feel like eggshells are a better coarse of action. All of this being said - her reaction is typical for her so my DH tells me not to feel down or offended (and I'm not, I'm more WTF?). I just can't wrap my head around the idea that us having a baby has somehow stole the thunder from hers?

AnnaS930 · March 2016

@LakeR2014 - exactly. In her shoes I might have even pulled you aside and said "I'm not trying to steal your excitement and I'm not ready to announce yet, but I'm expecting too!!" But that's just me... too bad she couldn't be more like me, huh?! bahahah

Coco01281986 · March 2016

So… I’ve learned that I really suck at being a CPA while pregnant! I don’t remember things like I have in the past and my brain only works at like half capacity. I’m learning that I HAVE to keep lists on a daily basis. If not, I lose track and lose focus! I cry when I get things wrong and am so embarrassed when I just cant get something right. I’m only in the first week of the 2nd trimester… its going to be a long 7 more months.

Alyeena · March 2016

@LakeR2014 That's a pretty shitty reaction

If that was me I would be so exited to have someone else pregnant at the same time, well I guess I actually do since my brother's wife is pregnant but since I am not close to her at all it's meh.

Are you close at all to that person? I can't believe they would actually tell you something like that.

@ElcaB and @runningisrad Speaking of late people, my brother and his wife were 40 minutes late to my wedding. He was my witness too -_- We waited of course, but since the room we rented was only for one hour we had to cut the ceremony short and didn't get to take many pictures in there. (it was a very nice backdrop, just a wall of lights)
He didn't say sorry either.

mom2adoodle · March 2016

My bitching is about DH's friends.

We went to dinner with about 7 of the guys (no wives but me) to tell them the big news. They're all super close and were DH's groomsmen. They were very excited and asked if we knew the sex. We said yes, but that we were having a barbeque for Memorial Day weekend and would share the news there as a party/reveal.

They all wanted to guess and asked "Are you happy with the sex?" Both DH and I shrugged and said "of course" in a nonchalant way but what were we supposed to do, bounce off the walls and say "OMG YES I AM SO HAPPY AHHH" in the middle of a restuarant? (Which we are and would have been regardless of the freakin' sex). Anyway, they then wanted to guess the sex though we were not going to confirm nor deny. So they all wrote down their thoughts and ALL of them said "Girl."

WTF? So because DH and I didn't scream for joy when asked if we were happy about the sex while we were at a fine dining restaurant, because we were happy but not like we preferred one over the other, we were inevitably having a girl? I needed to be happier for having a boy? WTF is wrong with a girl? I AM A GIRL. Granted none of them have kids so they are all ignorant in that regard but really, WTF?

@Alyeena I'm sorry unless they were in an accident that is simply unforgiveable. Did he at least give you a good reason for tardiness? The lack of apology too is just not ok.

I'm semi-close to the person, but her being 'AWish' my nature, it's hard to be.

OMG. I would've been LIVID. I was a super chill bride but the one thing I told the groomsmen was that if they were late, I would hurt them. And I meant it. I didn't worry about my bridesmaids because they weren't the late type.

You are not alone. I have been a little better but the months of January and February I was dropping the ball left and right and cried on the regular. Not a CPA, but I have to remember a lot of stuff and my brain just wasn't cooperating. It's a very bad feeling when you're normally really on top of things. I so get it!

jhems776 · March 2016

Mine is about H and cleaning. He thinks he does soooooooooo much, he does some but not that much. We have never kept our place immaculate but ok. He has picked some slack when I've been sick and/or tired but keeping the place right above bad/gross. He cleaned but never kept it clean. I've been feeling better and have been cleaning a lot more this week. Saturday was an ick day for me but Sunday morning I was great so I started cleaning and nicely asked H to help. He said how he cleaned yesterday, he loaded the dishwasher and made breakfast. After I started cleaning he eventually started helping (cleaning at the same time has been the only way to get him to really clean the whole place). I have not called him out on when he claims he cleaned sooo much and actually did like 10-15m worth of work because he will pout and do less but ugh this place is getting bad. I don't know if it needs a backstory of cleaning but when H was in grad school and while he was doing his post-doc he worked 2-3 hours more a day than me so I did a lot more of the cooking and cleaning. I don't think he has ever gotten that and how now that we work the same number of hours we need to do the same.

Earlier when talking about daycares and the possibility of me doing both ways I said "you(H) will have to do the larger percentage of cooking and cleaning then" and he made some comment on how he would be the servant then *eye roll*. If we don't move and have to use the place in between where we live and home I will be gone almost 11 hours and he will be gone less than 9 (he has a 15m walk to work). So YES he will have to do more housework than me.

BernieRae · March 2016

@LakeR2014 - did she say that right to your face? Yeah, you can't worry about that. Do your thing.

yellowrose314 · March 2016

My BF is that since I announced I'm pregnant I have gotten at least 15 friend requests on FB from people who either I have deleted in the past, and people I don't even know but I have like 1 or 2 mutual friends with. It's pretty obvious to me that they want to creep my pictures (I have my bump pictures on FB). One lady who is particularly close with an estranged aunt of mine doesn't seem to get the message, she's sent me like 5 requests which I keep deleting. I don't have anyone on my FB who I don't talk to regularly or who isn't close family. Then this morning, she sent me a message introducing herself and saying how she had heard from my cousin (son of the estranged aunt) that I was expecting and she wanted to offer her congratulations and asked me all these super personal questions and "would you mind accepting my friend requests as I would like to get to know you better".... um no, lady, I don't know you, and I'm not letting you creep my profile and send word back to an aunt that hates me and who I am not too fond of either.

Thank you!! I'm so glad someone gets it! Its so hard to explain to people who are looking to you to just have it all together...

Themaritimemama · March 2016

My BF is a really silly one, but annoying. There's only one US place here that does sex "determination" at 15 weeks. (For the record, it was to see if we *could* find out, be able to bring all the kids with us to watch, but we wouldn't be comfortable announcing until the anatomy scan at 20weeks); anyways, the lady had to cancel indefinitely and I.am.bummed.

LeahKnits · March 2016

Those stupid dishes that just don't get done unless I do them. I detest doing dishes. We don't have a dishwasher and they pile up so quickly. We also quit drinking soda, so now there are twice as many glasses as usual.

My MIL sent Easter baskets and dresses for our 3 kids. She sent them all the same things. So the 10 month old got foam stickers, peeps, a squishy chick thing that will pop when she bites it, and a hair clip with long fake hair. She can play with exactly NONE of these things. I'm also kind of irritated about the dresses. I just bought them Easter dresses. Why didn't she talk to me first?! Also, the 4 year old does not wear a size 6X and the 10 month old does not wear a size 18 months.

edit because I forgot some words.

Alyeena · March 2016

@LakeR2014 His wife had too feed the baby (he was 6 months by that time) and while I understand that, I wish they would of planned in advance and get there early, so if you have to feed him you can do so in the nursing room (it was a city hall and yes there was a nursing room).

She is just the kind of person who does not care. She has been with my brother for over four years now? And it feels like she does not even want to try and get to know us (by us meaning my family, so family in-law)

@runningisrad It is funny tho, because I was not even mad. I was getting married and I was just too happy to care. That wedding went wrong on so many levels. My sisters did get into a car accident (just a small rear-ending) but they made it in time, we had the reception at our house (20 people wedding) and my father-in-law burned the barbecue meat black, it rained so no pictures outside either. I forgot my vows, I should of written them down but noooo, I was sure I would remember lol.

But it was still perfect, and it was only after a while I realized "you know what, they were pretty rude being 40 mins late"

bunnymay · March 2016

@PoodleDoodleOoo I feel your pain. DH is so proud of himself he does something small, like write an item in the grocery list. Lol!

bunnymay · March 2016

My mother made me late for my own wedding! She was doing her hair and I was waiting in her car to go. DH started getting nervous standing at the alter.

Whih it brings me to my b-fest. She has been awful to my dad (who lives with me). It frustrates me and breaks my heart.

blondie080300 · March 2016

My BF is that I have to fly out to DC at 7:25am tomorrow morning which means I gotta get up at around 3:30-3:45am to get ready and be at the airport. I wanted to stay up and watch the Bachelor finale but now I'm thinking that might be dumb.

Oh yeah, and I am literally going for a lunch meeting and will fly back around 5:45pm which means I will prob get back to my house around 8pm. ZZZZzzzzzzzzz

MojieJo · March 2016

My bitch is my medical marijuana doctor's lack of tact.

I had an appointment with him today (I haven't used since before getting pregnant, but I'm required by the state to have an appointment every four months to maintain a "relationship" with him in order to have my green card be valid) and when I mentioned I was pregnant (he apparently couldn't tell even though it's plainly obvious), his first response was "I see the ring on the finger, so I'm guessing you did things in the right order?" Yeah, I've been married for almost 11 years and I've been coming to see you for almost 2 years. This isn't new. Then he asked if the babies were planned. Why the hell is it your business? But yes, very much so. Then he commented on how much my "boobs" (I put it in quotes because he actually said that, not breasts) are going to factor into my overall weight gain and how great I looked (which in itself is a fine thing to say, don't get me wrong, but in context with everything else, it just felt...weird).

Seriously, dude? This isn't the first time he's been less than tactful (he's a nice guy, but apparently suffers from a lack of professionalism), but I'm just...I can't even right now. I'm not really mad. Just sort of bowled over by the fact that he said what he said, I guess.

Also, I had my first unsolicited (and unwanted) belly rub on Sunday. Granted, it was from a family member (my husband's aunt), but even my MIL was polite enough to ask if she could touch me before doing it. I have a feeling I'm going to straight up punch the first stranger who lays a hand on my belly.
