Throat Punch Thursday anyone?

[mcktymck]

I didn't want to post this in the Thankful Thursday thread and bring down the happy vibes going on in there, so I figured I'd start a TP thread for us to rant in. Because I can't be the only one that needs to vent or rant about something. Let them out ladies!

My mom got home last night and started giving me crap for sleeping in until 8:30 every day and called me lazy, so I said if she wants me to wake her up every time I get up to pee or switch sides because my hips/back are killing me, I'd be more than happy to. Which led to her calling me a wimp because she never had hip or back pain during her pregnancies and worked all the way up until delivery (I told her I'd be doing the same thing at which point she said "yeah but you sit on your ass all day"), yada yada yada. All of it completely unprovoked, I was just sitting there minding my own business. It's gotten to the point where any time we're in the same room I can tell my blood pressure raises, just because I know she's going to make some sort of rude or judgmental comment.

tldr: my mom called me a wimp because she's a bitch and can't understand not every woman has the same exact pregnancy.

I want to TP the substitutes in my building today. They are serious complainers and not smart.

I just tested 5th graders for two hours. I haven't had a lunch OR a prep today. Just shut up and get in the room so I can go pee.

mcktymck, I'm really sorry your mom is being so hurtful. Every woman and every pregnancy really are different! I'm with you on being super uncomfortable all the time. I'm very short waisted so I feel like I'm already out of space! I also sit every day at work.... and I would much rather if I had a job where I was on my feet all day! I honestly think its almost worse to be sitting and squished when you're preggo.

melody330, My husband is a teacher and has told me some whoppers about bad subs. Hope your afternoon gets better!

[mcktymck]

ginabini exactly. For some reason she thinks because she's my mom that I should have the same type of pregnancy as her, but so far it's been completely different. Her MS was only ever nausea, I was puking until 16 weeks. She (supposedly) never got any stretch marks, I just had a few pop up within the past week or so. Any time I mention something I get the same response "well I never had that when I was pregnant!" Which in some cases (like the back and hip pain) apparently makes me a wimp.

Also, I hear you on the space thing! Especially after a big meal, it feels like my stomach could literally burst! Especially when sitting down haha

[acorn99]

mcktymck, I was just coming in to say i want to throat punch my stomach for having less room for tasty foods. I want to eat ALL THE THINGS but then I immediately regret it!

And I am sorry your mom is being cray.

[littlesthobo]

My school board just cut $2 million from special ed programs. I can't even. Those are the kids that need our help the most.

And TP to mcktymck's mom! Yikes!

[mcktymck]

acorn99 H and I laid in bed last night eating Oreos and I was SO happy. Until I stood up to go brush my teeth and the heartburn/indigestion hit haha

[mcktymck]

littlesthobo $2 million?! Ugh, that's so awful! You are right, absolutely not the right place to be cutting money from, what a poor decision.

[tootsie]

I'd like to throat punch Target for existing and taking all my money.

My FIL. He lives with us. One day I will regale you ladies on his less than savory characteristics. But murderous rage is an emotion I feel regularly.

I think you're damned if you do and damned if you don't. When I'm on my feet for a long shift, I eventually feel like my vag is going to just plop right on out of my body. But I can't sit for extended periods either. So.... Let's just throat punch life and pregnancy in general.

THIS literally today!! I honestly didn't feel like I could stretch any further after lunch. Not fun haha

Agree!!

[cavewmn]

Migraine. blah.

Also some of our animals are taking turns at being a pain in the butt.....

Just in general grumpy. I think I will have to monitor how I am feeling and make sure depression isn't creeping back in.

[lostinfaith225]

I'm not sure who to tp. Probably myself.

I lost a box of 90 day supply contacts for my right eye. I have the box for the left eye. $90 down the drain to reorder. .

[mcktymck]

TheTuna15 ohhh I feel you on the murderous rage, I feel like pregnancy makes it 10x worse too! Earlier this week I had to go lock myself up in our bedroom because I wanted to kill everyone in the place. My mom was rubbing her super dry/cracked nasty heels together over and over again, her BF was eating something so loud I could hear his molars hitting together, and their awful little dog was chewing on a bone making a gross slurping sound. It was just too much for me in that moment haha

[Ray]

I will reserve my throat punch for mcktymck 's mom. Wow. Sorry about that Dude.

I feel you SOOO hard. Literally, every single thing my FIL does bothers me. I logically understand that these small things are not in and of themselves worthy of me becoming a psycho, but when you lump them all together. I've told MH numerous times that he's lucky I love him and I don't want to see a grown man cry. Because I have so many things to say to his father that I keep deep inside. Unless, I'm talking to my girls... then it's out.

Thank you! Sometimes I feel like I'm just being a crazy pregnant woman and being overly sensitive, but then H will hear her say something rude to me and be like "WTF is wrong with her?!" and it makes me feel a little better. She's in for a big surprise come baby day when I don't let her in the room while I'm in labor because she's been such a bitch, even though she thinks she has a right to be in there.

Unrelated, but I hope everything is going smoothly now that you're back to school! I know you were dreading it so I hope it's going well so far.

[ellebelle]

TP to all the people today (yes, more than one) who said "what, you're due in July?? you're so big! this can't be your first." I really want to respond well it's my seventh pregnancy so of course I'm going to be big. Assholes.

[ellebelle]

mcktymck big TP to your mom. Sorry lady!

I'm so sorry your mom is being such an asshole, I want to TP her for you!  It's hard for some people to realize that their experience isn't everyone's experience, and that can be SUPER annoying.  

[housecarder]

mcktymck I doubt she didn't have any pain, it's just been 20+ years and she's forgotten about it. I forgot about it in the 4 years since DS.

TP to DS's daycare. I posted on parenting the long version, but the tl;dr version is that they apparently have been spanking him when the teacher "gets mad". So we pulled him and are in a crunch to look for new care.

Also H talked me into getting a second cat in hopes that it gives our cat someone to play with. So we adopted a baby girl and our cat is freaking the fuck out. We've been keeping them separate but my cat keeps hissing and scratching everyone. It's not what I need right now.

That is terrible!  Ugh, I'm sorry!  

I'm with tootsie & acorn99, both Target and Amazon take way too much of my money.  I *almost* went to Target today.... that would have been the fourth time a week.  ::runs and hides::  MH is getting annoyed with it, but CARTWHEEL, duh H!  Lol


ellebelle, I get those comments ALL. THE. TIME.  People have no idea how big of an asshole they are when they say that I'm big.  I'm about to start telling people that they look like they ate a little too much for lunch so they can see how it feels.  Socially unacceptable?! Meh.

I saw your post over there about DC. I still can't believe that horse shit. How is your DS doing?

He's just really excited to be able to stay home with me so much. My BIL's gf mentioned to my MIL that she might be available to nanny. So we are thinking about that. I still haven't told the old daycare that we are leaving though. Every time I start to call I get ragey and I don't want to chew her out and give her a heads up about the reports.

[rungirlrun]

mcktymck, ugh I'm sorry you are dealing with your mom's insensitivity again. I can see your mom's side as I'm fortunate to have had 1 really easy pregnancy and am currently experiencing the same this time around. When I hear about moms going through rough pregnancies, my response to myself is "wow, I'm really lucky and thankful to be feeling so good." I think that is really the only appropriate feeling to have - not to put other women down. Just keep remembering that you won't live with her forever!

[mcktymck]

housecarder serious WTF and TP to your DS daycare! I just read your post on Parenting and helllll no, I would be livid too. Did you ever get in touch with the daycare woman to ask her what was going on, or did you just go straight to filing the report? I would be curious to know if her story lined up with his. I'm so sorry you're having to deal with all of that right now!

I decided there was nothing that she could have said that would have made me comfortable sending him back there. His story was too consistent and I didn't want to give her a chance to come up with a story for the licensing people.
