Haven't seen this thread yet, so I will be the one to start the complaining.........
I wish I could get some sleep. DH never offers to help at night and I couldn't tell you the last time I got any type of decent sleep. It's making me an angry person and I don't want to be angry. I guess I just need to clue DH in and make him take some responsibility at night. Ha, we will see how far that goes.

Tell him to help you out so you can sleep!  I had to do the same thing with DH and he realized that when I get enough sleep, I am actually quite a joy to be around.

My complaint is about the noise. WTH neighbors I can't enjoy the weather and sit on my porch because there is always someone mowing the lawn and now I have a new neighbor who made our street a construction zone because he is going to build another house on the lot. Ughhh

[kookooma]

We live in a cul-de-sac and our neighbors got a puppy last year. All she does is bark. And bark. and bark. They leave her in their backyard while they are out doing errands and kid things and its all I hear. She has a loud bark and often I'm forced to close my windows. I'm this close to strangling her.

[jesster88]

This is my own fault but I left the power supply for my pump at home and had to go back for it. Working and bfing is hard and I am making it through on sheer determination.

Poor pup is probably lonely from being put outside all the time *silently judges your neighbors*

[kookooma]

I agree! She looks part German Shepard so very high energy. I often let our black lab out in the backyard so they can run the fence line together. But even then she barks. So frustrating. And our neighbors are great people and she is a great dog. Just really noisey.

I want to bitch about my MIL...
We had her, FIL, my parents & brother over for Mother's Day yesterday. Now I realize no one should ever expect a gift at any time, but I think first Mother's Day for the first grandchild is kind of a special thing. She barely acknowledged it. We went out of our way to give our moms a nice day, and she didn't even get me so much as a card.

Set me straight ladies- would you be upset to?

I'd be upset too.  How hard is it to give someone a card or just acknowledge the day, especially the first one?  

My MIL is like this.  She has never given me a card or anything for Mother's Day, except for last year, when she gave me a foot scrubber thing with the $3 clearance sticker still on it, 2 weeks after Mother's Day.  I honestly think someone gave it to her and she gave it me.  This year I don't even think she said Happy Mother's Day.  I used to try and do something special for her like a card and flowers or a gift card, but this year, I said screw it.  I think DH got her a card.  Oh well, she ain't my mama!

Ok...I'm finally going to participate in this this week. MH has just stopped trying whatsoever. Yeah dude I get that you're stationed 2 hours away and don't want to commute every day. But at least you could come up every weekend like you promised and if you can't do that at least fucking hold your daughter for more than 5 minutes when you actually drag your ass home. Or rinse diapers, or SOMETHING. don't just send me a bouquet of roses(which I don't even like) and expect a piece of ass. It had been so long since LO had seen you that she didn't even recognize you hardly.

I got a second pump last week from my sister so I can now leave one at work. I loathed lugging it back and forth. However, I'm not sure how much longer I can last pumping when I only get 5 ounces max in three pump sessions. Pumping a 1/2 oz at a time is discouraging and my determination is dwindling.

I would have a hard time pushing through for 5oz per day as well. My left side doesn't respond as well to the pump so I finish with manual expression and it makes a huge difference.

[jesster88]

stormygrace Wow I don't even know what to say. It breaks my heart to hear about a dad who doesn't want to spend time with his baby. :hugs:

My SILs used to make Mother's Day all about their mom and to make matters worse I had to prepare food on my day to bring over there. And I always got stuck making the main course.

Men. At least he could have gotten you something you like and took the LO so you could have some me time. I'm sorry. ((Hugs))

I'm sorry.  ::hugs:: You both (you and DD) deserve better than that.  

[stormygrace]

Thanks ladies. I'm grateful I can vent here and you all understand.
ETA- sorry for the f bomb. I was pretty pissed.

[bookworm87]

stormygrace I'm so sorry, that sounds so frustrating. I would be so upset if my baby barely recognized me, I don't understand how that could not upset him and make him realize he needs to make a bigger effort. I'm just curious, so feel free not to answer, but what is his excuse when you bring it up to him??

bdblz My mother in law didn't say anything to me either. We specifically went to their house Friday night for Mother's Day and told them we were spending Sunday together (I had even taken a vacation day so I could spend the day with just my husband and baby). She texted my husband yesterday asking if they could drop in after their lunch. Umm...absolutely not. So now she's pissy. My mom and dad both texted me though so that was sweet.

[ThePregosaurus]

WTF coworkers. I'm being made full time next school year (I'm .8 right now). This means I'm taking a section of a class from another teacher while she takes over a section of another class from a retiring teacher. She was ALL for it until she realized it made her schedule slightly more inconvenient. Now she's being all pushy and manipulative to try and get her way. This is so stupid. It makes me feel awkward even though I'm more qualified than her to teach the level I'm taking on.

[nbateman5]

Why the hell is my floor at work so humid?! I'm sticking to my chair and wearing shorts under my dresses so my legs don't start a fire. Thank goodness for my everlasting pregnancy hot flashes which is the reason I now have a clip on desk fan blasting in my face. Its Monday, the air wasn't on full blast all weekend so that means turn it on at least a couple hours before people get in!

This is so stupid, I know. But I have never had to commute before. So I'm a newbie to this.

WTAF is going on on the radio in the morning? Morning shows are THE MOST OBNOXIOUS THINGS EVER. All I want to do is listen to the g-- d--- radio, ok? That's it. STAAAHHHHP with the crude jokes, the hyena braying laughter, the stilted "banter", the random celebrity news....it's on every station! I cannot wait until our local NPR fund drive is over (I'm a member! I shouldn't have to listen to it. sigh).

I listen to satellite and was so pissed when they added hosts to the channel I like to listen to.  It took me a long time to like listening to them.  There is on dj I can't stand the send off to.  Also, love PBS, hate pledge drive weekends.

[neonsun419]

My bitch fest....first pp period and starting a cold. Also left LO with DH yesterday for part of the day and between him and the sweet young girl at our daycare, I have just barely enough for tomorrow. They wasted so much. So. Much. And supply is a smidge lower than normal due to previously mentioned lameness.

I don't listen during pledge drive week - ha!

[mommarochelle]

My bitch is that my body hates me. The birthday party was on Saturday and about 30 minutes in, I start my period. Good timing! Not like I had a bunch of kids to be watching. Anyway, then today at work, I'm sitting at my desk and realize that my pad isn't absorbing very well (had just changed pads an hour prior) so I excuse myself to the bathroom to discover that I have a red skunk stripe going down the backside of my jeans. To make matters worse, I just got a brand new car 5 weeks ago, and I have nothing to put down to sit on for my 30+ mile drive home, too keep the blood from getting on the seat. Sigh. It's been a rough day

[aleys628]

Another Supervisor is on vacation and I'm covering her office. They are already short staffed and an employee called in today. Super busy. Add to that the fact that none of these employees are empowered to make any decisions. I have to seriously hold their hand for everything. They even ask permission to go to the restroom. And I wonder why I feel like I got nothing accomplished today.

[amyface813]

DH just "tried" to get LO back to sleep after my second failed attempt. He shushed for about 15 seconds, no joke. Then came to bed and said "I suck as a parent" and almost immediately started snoring... Well, you aren't making yourself look very good with your 15 seconds of trying.

Edited because I'm tired...

[beckyrosen]

I'm so sick of not sleeping...

Ok but really my bitch is that DH was holding LO while I was making dinner and she was crying and he was just standing there with her. After a bit when I had gotten to a point where I needed to just wait for it to cook I went and took her to calm her because I couldn't take the crying anymore. So I ask DH if he thought about changing her diaper, he says no then walks past me to go put on his pjs and go to the bathroom... so of course I change her which is not a problem in itself, but fudge! I'd really like him to take part in some of the parental duties without me having to tell him to do it.

[bdk0186]

A few hours late, but omg I want to kill both of my dogs! Finally got the baby to sleep and one of the dogs decides she needs to go to the bathroom. She paces and paces. Eventually barks and slams against the bedroom door. Woke her up twice today!
