Monday BITCHFEST 4/11

OrangeEv · April 2016

My monday bitchfest is that this board is so boring that we still didn't have a monday bitchfest until I woke up from sleeping all day to make one 4:45 pm my time!!! What!?! Don't you people have something to bitch about!?

Also, I spent Thurs/Fri/Sat days eating nothing, just drinking gatorade and ensure due to a Crohns flare up, and as soon as I am starting to feel better, I get an awful cold. Ugh.

ladyshark311 · April 2016

I'm literally sitting here trying to think of something to bitch about!!

Hows this...I'm waiting for an oil change at Jiffy Lube with oh like ten other people. It's sweltering in here and I haven't eaten enough today so I've got the shakes and I'm sweating. Lol would it look weird to take out my container of strawberries and start munching?? I feel like I would be gawked at!

smmatt08 · April 2016

My bitchfest is that I don't have a scheduled day off work until Memorial Day at the end of May. Ugh, I need a vacation!

Kaessi · April 2016

So...my MIL that threw such a giant fit about not finding the sex of the baby before anyone else...completely showed her ass & did not show up to the family/close friend lunch we had planned on Sunday to tell everyone at the same time. She completely ignored all of my texts & calls after I told her she had to wait until Sunday just like my family & everyone else & then just didn't show up. We waited for 20 minutes and she wouldn't answer texts or phone calls, so DH finally text his dad and said "We're waiting on Mom, is she coming?" His response, "She's busy." Which is what I'm sure she told him to say. DH said, "She's really going to act like a selfish 3 year old & cause undo drama over this?" To which his Dad said, "I know son. I'm sorry, I tried." Ugh. While I'm happy that she wasn't there to steal my joy, the rage that I feel over her selfish, immature behavior is causing me to lose sleep & stress completely out. She thrives on drama, which means there's some big dramatic confrontation that's bound to happen and my anxiety level about this is off the charts. I keep thinking of all of these mean, hateful things I want to say to her, but I'm trying to take the high road & just let her lie in the bed she made for herself. I just can't wrap my mind around what benefit she is possibly getting from this & how she is trying to justify that she is in the right. Definitley the most immature 66 year old I have ever known...

ladyshark311 · April 2016

@Kaessi I've had people like that in my life and it took me a while to learn not to even let their drama bother me. I know it's difficult but the more you let it just roll off your back the better off you will be. People like that WANT and expect s reaction so don't satisfy her by giving her one. It's her loss and she will regret it at some point even if she never says so out loud.

Someone reheated fish in the microwave at work. FISH.

I missed an important deadline at work. I fixed it, but I never miss deadlines.

I also ate a really healthy lunch of veggies and fruit salad and then ruined it with an Oreo McFlurry.

ladyshark311 · April 2016

@mariefox16 People like that are monsters!!

I knew her before I knew my husband & I know how she is so I'm normally fairly good about just rolling my eyes over her stupid crap & moving on...even find it mildly amusing at times. However, my pregnant self seems to have lost that ability! These uncontrollable emotions suck!

MRSCORKER · April 2016

@Kaessi My MIL is very similar. She threw a fit and got plastered until the bartender cut Her off at our wedding. She then tried to smack the bartender and was told to sit in her seat and stay there until the reception was over. It wasn't about her so damn it, she was gonna make it about her. What I've learned is to completely disengage from her drama. She wants a confrontation and I'm not going to give her the satisfaction of giving her one. If I were you, I would completely ignore your MIL and let her pout like a toddler. Don't give her the attention she wants. If she's anything like my MIL, she'll go away and find another drama to involve herself with. I'm sorry you have to deal with that during what should be a happy time. Don't let her steal your joy!

queen_frostine · April 2016

Most of my bitching is really mundane. I don't have big drama stories! I have to wait three days to find out if I have a UTI. I've been really exhausted today. I have a backlog of papers to grade and I hate grading so much.

kateleap · April 2016

My bitching is at myself today.

I worked from home bc of an OB appointment near my house (I would have lost a ton of work time if I'd gone into the office and back out again), but I took it super easy despite a PACKED to do list and I'm going to have to crank like an absolute monster tomorrow to make up for it. And yet knowing that isn't enough to motivate myself to just jump back on tonight. Can I blame preggo fatigue? Or am I just a lazy lump? The world may never know.

von1976 · April 2016

I had to choose a new doctor because my GYN only does 1st trimester. So I went on the website, as instructed, and make a 16 week appointment with the OB of my choice. Only to get there today to find out, they've decided he's not going to do OB any more. So I get to choose another doctor. WTF. And I really liked him.

SuperNerd42 · April 2016

My bitch is at the bump app's GIANT FUCKING ADS. seriously wtf. I can't see anyone's signature, but the bump is ok with distorting every thread with its stupid banners. Oh, and the pop up videos. Eff you. Now I have to zoom in on every thread I open. Screen shot provided of the epically shitty job they did fitting the ads in. Super seamless guise, super job.

TurtleMomma · April 2016

DH bought a new receiver for all our entertainment-related devices (TV, PS4, Bluray player, etc). The problem is that our old speakers weren't compatible so OF COURSE we had to buy a new stereo system. DH paid extra for next day shipping and would arrive by 8pm yesterday. Of course, it didn't arrive until today at 2pm. So when he realized it wasn't coming last night, DH decided in his infinite wisdom, to pre-wire everything so he could just plug the new stereo in and be done. The problem is that until the speakers are plugged in, nothing has sound except anything the TV itself does (no PS, bluray, etc). It wouldn't normally bother me, except today I woke up and felt like death and was relying on Curious George and Cars to get me through until I felt better. NOPE. Now I have am ansy toddler with a momma who feels like she may expire at any minute.

@SuperNerd42 Install an ad blocker. Seriously, they're gone now. They were driving me away from this site.

Oh, never mind. I didn't realize that was on the app. I don't use the app any more, because it logged me out and I can't log in with my password and can't change my password. So I can only do it from the web on a machine I've been logged into forever.

lilbabybrown · April 2016

I'm sorry @von1976 - that sucks! My first pregnancy, I had an awesome doctor for the first 8 months. Then they called me to tell me that my doctor was no longer employed and they were going to assign me to a new doctor. It was so upsetting that late in the pregnancy. Come to find out, she had been convicted of writing false prescriptions because she was addicted to pain killers. Sad deal, but in the end, I was very happy with my new doctor. And he is my doctor again for my second one! Hope you can find a good replacement

AshleyGemini24 · April 2016

I agree. The in app advertisements suck.

Oh we had the same bitch fest! At first I thought someone posted something, then I realized they were ads. When did this happen?!?

jillianpardo · April 2016

@Kaessi that is total bs. I wouldn't bother updating her on a single thing with baby until she contacts you. Monster in law! Try not to worry about it or think about it. If she wants to be an immature miserable hag then let her do her thing. You haven't done a thing to justify her reactions. That is all on her not you.

socks2819 · April 2016

@Kaessi You are literally describing my mother. She is the queen of holding grudges. Know you are not alone.

@turtlemomma Our DH's are cut from the same thread. I feel like I live in a Best Buy. Every time something breaks around here we have to buy a new entertainment system lol. But leaving you tv less with a toddler when you are under the weather is unacceptable!

My bitch fest is that I had my final interviews for my dream job on Thursday and they are supposed to make a decision this week. I have no patience! I can't get it off my mind and of course this week is the busiest week of the year for me at work. Ugh...if I could only shut my brain off for a little while.

LGW2015 · April 2016

Ooh I have a good one today.

We don't have insurance through DH's employer because it's a tiny company so as of last year after his 26th bday he started getting insurance through the marketplace. I turn 26 this month so as of May 1st I'll be off my parents' insurance and have to find a plan as well. Except they all SUCK!! It's so expensive each month, plus a deductible, $500/day copay for being in the hospital (3 day max on the copay luckily) AND even after we hit the deductible, we still have to pay 10% of all the bills. It's just so depressing. Especially because I know I'm going to get bills from the old plan for what testing I've done so far so I'm going to end up paying partially into my old plan's deductible only to start anew with this one. OH and even though it says it's $40 copay per specialist visit (I.e. OB), they decided that all "prenatal and postnatal care" doesn't apply to that, it ALL goes to the deductible. So we're going to hit our deductible right away and then have to pay 10% on everything after that.

The only good thing is that once the baby is born we can change plans again and pick something with a lower premium because we won't be worried about the prenatal care and hospital costs.

And honestly in a weird way I feel like we're lucky we found the plan we did with a low deductible because all the other ones had sky high deductibles on top of everything else. Why couldn't this baby have come when we started trying for it 17 months ago when I was still on my parents' insurance?! Ha stubborn babe. Sounds like its momma.

mrszoess · April 2016

knock on wood I don't have the ads but my bump app just updated and it looks so PRETTTYTYTT. I'm sure it'll crash soon. lol

MRSCORKER · April 2016

@LGW2015 I know how you feel with the insurance crap. Right before we started trying, I landed my dream job but it didn't have a benefits package. I was promised it would be offered for the next fiscal year so we paid out of pocket for a shitty plan in the meantime. It was awful. Come to find out, the agency decided it couldn't afford to offer me a benefits package so my options were to stay at the job and basically risk bankruptcy to have a baby or find a new job. I ended up going back to my old company because the benefits are amazing. It sucks so much that I basically had to choose having a family over my chosen career path. I wish DH had a job that offered benefits but he makes more than me so it didn't make sense for him to find something else.

missmaehurt · April 2016

I was going to pick up breakfast, but when I got in my car I realized I hadn't gotten gas this weekend, so I had to forfeit my breakfast. That made me nauseous and really dizzy at work. At one point I could feel me starting to get that feeling like I was going to pass out. I wish I would have so I could have went home early.

SuperNerd42 · April 2016

@von1976 Thank you. I did give up on the app and downloaded an ad blocker for safari. It's definitely not as convenient as the app, but now I can actually read the posts without vooming in each time. What luxury! Lol

mrszoess · April 2016

I use the app "ad blocker" and I don't get ads on the app.'try it!

ashleyp625 · April 2016

I had a HORRENDOUS elementary school concert today. The kids were rude, the audience and teachers were rude, and a kid left her violin hanging off of the stage, so when someone walked by, it crashed to the floor and snapped in half. And it's a school instrument, so I have to find the money to fix it at a school that has none. Ugh!

TurtleMomma · April 2016

@socks2819

Yes. DH is in the dog house whenever he gets home!

runningmama14 · April 2016

@Kaessi your mil sounds like my sil. She was basically a second mom to dh (he's a generation younger than his siblings). She was so horrific to me during my first pregnancy and after DS was born. DH finally put her in her place and we cut her out of having a special place in DS's life. She gets to see him at family functions like everyone else and that's it.

She is apparently quite bitter about this. She is refusing to acknowledge that I'm pregnant again. Super mature.

mpunger · April 2016

I'm a little late getting to this, hectic day yesterday; appointments, grocery shopping, and my sisters 20 week ultrasound.
DH is the pickiest adult EVER, he doesn't eat ANY fruits and refuses to even try cooked vegetables at all. This wasn't much of a problem before my food aversions started. Since he also doesn't know how to cook I basically have to make two completely seperate meals as I can no long tolerate chicken, dairy, or any heavy fats (which is pretty much all he eats). I'm considering letting him just live off of frozen pizzas for the rest of this pregnancy..

von1976 · April 2016

@mpunger Oh HELL NO, if DH doesn't like what I'm cooking, or if I can't cook because I'm nauseous, he fends for himself. No way in hell I'd be cooking two meals with food aversions!

mpunger · April 2016

@von1976 I've definitely had him fend for himself more often, my only problem with that is he will just try to get away with eating pizza and candy for dinner. I sometimes just make a big batch of my families Mac & Cheese on Monday and he just eats that for a few days so I don't have to deal with making dinner.
