S/O: What do you want to complain about today? - Page 74

[mamamerle]

Is today 'act like a jack@$s day'?  

My husband woke up this morning announcing it was project day. He did a few things around the house this morning, but since then has spent the past seven hours sitting on the couch watching tv. And has the nerve to get all snippy when I ask him to help with the kids. Jerk. 

I'm already frazzled since Ada has been cluster feeding all.day.long. 

This day cannot end soon enough.

Ok so this is petty.  How did I give birth to a 9 lb baby and so far have only lost 11 lbs??

It's only been a short time. Patience, dear Mama. 

I've only dropped 17 lbs since Ada was born on Aug 3rd.

I already posted about this but the long version I will plant here.

My mom and dad are going to be camping out at our place the end of this week, actually bringing their camper and camping... yes!!!! in our front yard, yes I am due the end of the week.

Today I didnt answer my phone till later in the day to check messages and I see my dad called. well guess what he asks.... "I called twice, I didnt hear anything , I thought you had the baby" AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH NOOOO I didnt OR I would have called you.

I am seriously upset about them coming up camping... seriously... I dont want to feel "on" or having to entertain, or watch what I do, Or stress if I start having contractions.

I dont know WHY the feel like they NEED to be here, at this time, WHY , NOW!!????

I want this baby in my arms, BUT not while they are here, so I have till WED, when they show up till, next WED when they leave... I feel like they are being sneaky, trying to pry into my business!

Why is it okay for people to comment on a pregnant person's size? My MIL likes to make comments about how she sees other pregnant people that are close to being due and they're nowhere near as big as I am. 

Does it matter? I am healthy, baby is healthy and there's nothing more to it. You can stop commenting on my size now, thanks.

I almost slapped my own father when he called me 'skinny mcninny" this weekend - this is the biggest Ive ever been and it's physically tough carrying this body around.  Surprised me how sensitive I was - guess im sensitive to MOST things these days :)

Dude, I don't think there's anything OK about that at all!  If it were me and my MIL I'd throw her a real nasty look and a big, "Gee thanks, ma!" to make her feel like an ass.  And my MIL are good friends.  So if you don't get along with yours you could definitely get a little more fresh!!  

I think you look beautiful.  Tell her to shut her piehole.

The comments crack me up- today a woman told me she was looking at me from behind (ok!!!) and thought "what a nice runner's body"- then the belly disclosed itself.  Then there is my husband who told me two nights ago I looked like "a portly old man"- thanks honey!  Last night I told him maybe it's just my pm pants- pulled down to expose belly- NOPE- still "HUGE"  .

Im personally 'used to" people feeling they can comment freely on my body.  It's  very ODD, in my opinion.  I am really petite and in our society it is ok to comment on smaller sizes - but no one would ever dare say anything to someone who isnt on the smaller side.  It's annoying because i always feel i have to defend my size- yes, I eat- LOTS- etc.....

I get different comments, the typical "you must be carrying triplets" comments and also the "you're so tiny" comments where I know they're wondering how I'm carrying this huge belly around. My sisters saw me this weekend and said that I'm all baby, that I've gained no weight anywhere else. Yes, I have a huge belly, but I am also sporting a larger rear, thighs, arms, etc.

Still, as much as the pregnancy comments get me, it's the after baby ones that really piss me off... So anyone with such comments can basically go take a hike. I'm not in the mood for it and I won't be anytime soon.

Flipping grrrrrrr................

Sorry guys, I'm a bit ticked off today.

Mamatwo8, I had to laugh reading your complaint since I just read your birth announcement! It looks like your body and baby heard you:) so funny that she was born today!

Sorry about your nosy folks though:(

I'm really freaking mad.

Since I got pg my best friend was planning to come visit me for a day or so to come see the baby once he was born.  The original plan is she would bring her baby girl and stay with us overnight.  Slowly, since he's been here (within a WEEK), it's changed from coming for a day, to coming for an afternoon with her husband in tow (how can we have a girl chat w/her freaking DH right there??), to now meeting ALL her NJ friends at a breakfast brunch at someone else's house and squeezing me in for like an hour.

Not that I would go with a 2 week old but was I even invited to this breakfast brunch??  NO.

I drove to her house in MD TWICE, once with a toddler in the back seat at 25 weeks pg, to visit her and meet her new baby.  I'm OVER it.  This one sided friendship has fizzled.

I'm sorry. She SUCKS!

I'd say it sounds like you are better off without this so called friendship. It sounds like its been very one sided for a long time now. You don't need that kind of stress in your life Carrie. You deserve friends who will treat you with the respect you obviously deserve.

Oh and I'm sick of this darn prodromal labor! I've been having regular, strong-ish contractions since last night, but they're not doing anything except piss me off! :( I wish they would just turn into real labor or go away!

[Autoemesiss]

Same here Jennifer,

I have been contracting every 10min since Monday, stopping for sleep and by 10pm each night. Last night I dreamed about awful contractions and woke up this morning with some bloody show. I WAS SO EXCITED. I felt like absolute doo doo today and had maybe 12 contraction ALL DAY. WTF?! Called the mw on call today and she is the useless new grad that couldn't give me any insight as to what was going on and informed me that she is on call until Sunday. GRRR. The other midwife will be there for the birth but OMG. This is my third birth and am in a place where I could use insight and the experience to of a seasoned mw. Not someone who skipped nursing school and went directly to becoming a CNM.... and only 3 months out of school. USELESS! I am so pissed. 

Professionally I loath people who skip the schooling and experience of a nurse, its like cutting in line and giving everyone who put the time in, the finger and saying nah nah poo poo. Its a mockery of those of us who have spent time wiping buts and getting punched by patients. 

Ok. So I just might have offended a bunch of people. Sorry. I needed to vent. I am so pissed off and b*tchy lately. And having her answer the phone today, my censor just came off.
