The "Because I'm Cranky" Thread - Page 3

[MonP'titBoudain]

Can I just say, I'm cranky... there's a million reasons and yet no reason!

Why, dear little boy, must you act your age? Why is it funny to run away top speed as soon as I ask you to come to me? Why when you have been totally dry for two weeks must you quit communicating with me and pee in your pants in spite of being offered the potty so many times in the day?

Why dear husband must you collect newspapers you don't read? Why are you more tired than I am? How can this be?

And dear body of mine. You are healthy and strong. So, please get it together! Enough with the old lady aches!

Why, why, why can't I feel patient and mellow? Why is it that the stupidest, even funny things make me SO completely grumpy? And how is it that being grumpy makes me grumpier? Is there an end in sight? Cause this is wearing me out.

Me too!! One little thing can start an avalanche of emotions that I feel like I can't control. And not being able to get out of it - or my DP's inability to get me out of it - pisses me off even more. It's wearing me out too. :

Oh thank you for this thread! I clicked in to it to make a nasty gripe about the lazyness of DH, and my bosses $2K couch we have to replace because DH and my sister couldn't be bothered to keep the dxxx cats off it (I know, that would require turning a minute amount of attention away from the tv) when we stayed at his house while finding another one, but I feel so much better-I am laughing so hard I'm crying!

Reviving this to say....

Sweet baby....those things you keep pushing your bum (I HOPE it's your bum!) against are called ribs. And they are mine. And I should be allowed to lean forward if I need to. Yes, good posture is nice but sometimes I want to slouch without getting the what-for from you. And I do know that you have limited space and that before I know it that you will be here but can we please agree on the rib thing?

ooh I have a few:

DH, I so appreciate that you are thinking of me, and doing sweet little things like warming up my side of the bed with the electric blanket before I get to bed. HOWEVER, it would make my life far easier if you would do the less-glamorous things like wash the dishes after I make dinner, and actually put your clothes in the laundry hamper so I don't have to look at your socks on the floor next to the bed all week, since I am NOT bending over to pick them up for you at 30 weeks pregnant.

Little baby, It would really help me out if I could tell which body part is squishing my stomach and giving me freaking heartburn. If it is your butt, I will happily live with it. If that is your head up there, TURN AROUND ALREADY, it is not nice to make me worry. Also, why do you have to kick my bladder at 4:30 every morning to wake me up to pee, and then have a little dance party so I can't fall back asleep? What weird alarm are you hearing at 4:30 on the dot that makes you do that?
