Wednesday Bitch Fest

[dmoney]

Not to sure if we have one for Today. I couldnt find it when I tried searching.


Last night my FIL stopped by to drop off our new AAA Cards (we are on his account) And he came straight to touching my belly.  He has never done this before, and I was really hoping he would not do it.  I'm not a huge fan of his to begin with, and I couldn't even back away from him because I was up against the wall.   I didn't say anything to him but this morning I did tweet the following " Common Sense: DO NOT touch a pregnant woman's belly without asking first. Do you want me to touch your beer belly??"  I am waiting for DH To ask me who touched me.  He knows how I feel about the situation. He is the ONLY one who can touch it whenever he wants. Everyone else should have the decency to ask.  I have slapped hands away before but was just in shock last night that I couldn't

This one is about my mat leave replacement. I emailed him on Monday about setting up more training. Still waiting on a response. I was worried that he would "outshine" me while I was away but that looks impossible right now. However, I do feel bad for the faculty that will have to put up with this crap for the next 14 months.

14 months?

Someone asked if I was having a planned c section when I mentioned the dr thinks we will end up with an 8 lb baby. No, why would I?! Also you've been mentioning how big I am this whole time, why are you shocked by 8 lbs?

[Widget123]

I am in a really bad mood today. Like really, really bad. I'm just going to leave it at that for now.

[Deleted]

bruunk, that's ridiculous! 8 pounds is a good healthy size and is hardly huge.


My bitch... I got out of bed with a good amount of energy this morning and felt really hopeful. Then I got dressed, got something to eat, sat down at the table to email and pay some bills. Now I want to go back to bed because I'm tired and my back is already killing me. It's a late start day for DS's school so I have 45 minute until he goes to the bus and I don't know if I can make it. SCREW YOU EXHAUSTION!!

I haven't been posting lately because there is just no time. I've tried to stay up to date on everything going on when I get a second to read threads, but my bitch for today is directly related to that.

We, as a family, got my sister into rehab recently. It should have been done a while ago, but my parents would not get on board with me. The whole situation just sucks. She has been getting progressively worse with drinking and I suspected rx pills as well. But the final straw was when she went to a friend's house for a dinner party, left to get something and ended up in the ER with a concussion from getting lost after leaving a bar and trying to walk home. Finally my parents agreed she needed help and my mom flew out to get her and get her into rehab.

But now it seems like they are just nonchalant about the whole thing. My mom actually said it is just a phase and she will be fine once she is out of rehab. I personally think my dad is in denial or just can't deal with the stress of it all or something. He won't even talk about next steps or anything. I just wish I could get everyone on the same page and I am so frustrated that I am the one pushing them to see how serious this is.

dmoney My last day is next Friday and I'm due until the end of June so it works out to be 14 months in total.

 Im so jealous its not even funny!! Im taking 8 weeks because thats all that I can afford to take!

[veggiemo]

lunalovegood, so sorry to hear about all of that, it sounds like a really tough time for your whole family. Maybe try encouraging everyone to attend a meeting? Not sure if it's possible at this point, but maybe worth a shot?

[flbabychin]

lunalovegood, I'm really sorry that you're having to manage all of this right now! I can relate to your story on a number of levels - my brother has also struggled with addiction and my parents frequently minimize the impact it has on all areas of his life and relationships. I don't know if it's denial or what. I hope your parents are able to see what you see.

[bruunk]

lunalovegood that is really hard to deal with, I'm sorry. I hope your family gets on board - it makes it hard when you're the only one with your head on straight. Don't forget to take time for you.

@jimbobcooter I agree! Especially since I've been mentally preparing for a much bigger baby (my family makes big babies and the "You're SO BIG" comments have gotten to me).

Edited because words are hard apparently

Kid if you don't stop kicking my upper right rib cage, mamma is going to start pushing back. I seriously feel like my skin is on fire in this one spot. Ow ow ow ow.

OH I do push back. Not hard, but when he gets too fixated on one spot or is just kicking the heck out of me, I either rub at the offending lump (usually his foot) or when he's kicking like crazy I have poked back at him. Don't usually do anything (the rubbing will get him to move, but the poking makes him kick more). Usually he'll calm down if DH has his hand on my belly, which is how we sleep now - otherwise baby is going to permanently bruise my right rib! Of course DH likes feeling baby move, so I have to make sure he isn't poking baby into activity.

[lunalovegood]

pbubblegum, flbabychin, veggiemo, bruunk, Thanks so much for all the love. We are all going to a family meeting at the rehab place this weekend so hopefully that will help get my parents to see the seriousness of this and that it probably will not just go away after this one stint in rehab, that she will need outpatient and our support to help her through it.

WTF to my MIL. I saw her on Sunday for dinner and to drop DD off for a sleep over and then saw her on Monday when I picked DD up. Her comment: "you've gotten bigger over night." I'm sure it's just the different shirt I'm wearing. She kept insisting I had gotten bigger. Fuck you old lady. Way to make me feel like a whale.

[silv3rlining]

Down fall of nice weather/spring? Allergies! Throat and ears were hurting most of the night and have continued today. I know if I could take something like naproxen/ibuprofen it would help with the inflammation and ease the pain.

[megd893]

My maternity pants are too small. Unless it's a fully belly pair of jeans, I'm done with them. Also, my shirts are too small. Riding up during the day and showing the bottom sliver of my belly. Feeling AWESOME about all this.
Off to Old Navy tonight. Not spending good money on clothes for potentially 8 weeks.

Yep, I had to keep pulling my tank top down yesterday because the hem kept riding up to the edge of my pants!

WTF dropped off DD for a few hours at daycare today and picked her up to discover they have a large book fair display blocking the womens restroom and water fountain except for a narrow path that i cannot fit through. Ok i guess ill be using the mens restroom until the book fair is over. Oh yeah and you over there can you grab my DD because thats the perfect place for her to run on our way out of the building.

Coworker - PLEASE STOP WHISTLING! What's a nice way to tell him to shut the fuck up!? He only stops whistling to inside burp or breathe like a dinosaur.

[erbear]

I'm sorry you're going through all of that, lunalovegood!

I'm swollen and cranky. The other due-in-June pregnant lady at work and I were just bitching it up earlier. My waddle is in full effect! Oh, and if one more kid pokes my belly, I'm going to lose it.

[tiffbot]

lunalovegood, I'm so sorry. BIL just went through rehab for drug abuse from the end of Jan-Mar, and just received his 90 day pin on Monday! Luckily family was very supportive, so if you need someone to talk to I can try my best.

Can I do the opposite of a bitch fest?? Because I am BURSTING with pride! DS has been in his big boy bed and room for 2.5 weeks. He is just about 22 months and did so well with the transition, we were already so proud. He goes down for his nap around 12:45/1pm depending on the day, and today after I cleaned up lunch I went and sat on the couch for our usual few minutes of cuddle/play time (aka, mom needs a break by then time), and he ran right into his room and shut the door. He was so quiet I went to check on him, and not only was he fast asleep in bed he also had his blanket wrapped around him!! He is amazing!!

And because life cant get ANY Better for me right now... Our hot water heater is currently leaking... PLEASE pray the repair man gets to the house sooner rather then later (we were told by 6pm) and I dont have to replace a hot water heater AND Carpet!!

Gah, my little sister is driving me INSANE. I don't know if it's because we have a 7 year age difference or if it's just a phase she's going through, but she talks about herself incessantly and complains all day long via text and Facebook messages and if I don't respond to her, she gets mad at me. But she says she doesn't need to ask me about the baby ever because I post bump selfies every 3-4 weeks. She's a sophomore in college so I hope she's just going through an extremely bratty, entitled phase.

My 17 year old sisters latest spat with my parents is because they said no to some high school trip to Europe in 2 years that her younger boyfriend is going on. Dude you will be in college in two years, what will you care about some HS trip to europe.

Yay for your DS tiffbot!
Congrats on selling your house @jemomma!

megd893 - I have a few shirts that I bought just recently that aren't long enough any more. I've had to start layering long tanks underneath them. And my only pair of jeans now cuts off the circulation on my belly when I pull them all the way up Boo maternity clothes!

dmoney - Sorry about the water heater. We dealt with ours leaking last week as well and had to replace it. Hopefully yours is an easy fix!

My H has been knit-picking everything I do lately. We are both under some stress with selling our house right now (we actually just accepted an offer today - yay!) But seriously?! If I don't answer your phone call it's because I am busy - changing a diaper, taking a shower, using the bathroom, etc. You don't need to immediately call back AND send me an email telling me to answer my phone. I know it's important, but jeez! Also not nice to nag at me to replace the toilet paper in the bathroom when your son used the last of it and I then had to put him to bed alone...sorry I didn't immediately rush to get more for your precious bottom.

Thanks!! DH is an idiot and said there's no way to turn the water off going to it... Which I know for a fact is  not true...he is just to lazy to look.  Just hope it doesn't explode before we can get a new one out and the whole thing fixed!!

At least he isn't over confident and trying to fix it himself.  That's what MH did last week - took him forever and he broke a bathroom sink in the process :/

This is true...but I have a feeling hes also not changing out the towels or anything to keep the water from expanding... HE posted a picture on FB, there were no towels down, the two WOODEN tables we have are still sitting in the water...hes not moving a thing.
