**one BIG vent for everyone** whatever your mad, frustrated, sick of, etc!!!

Hey ladies! I thought it'd be fun to start one big huge vent ( i got my inspiration from a similar vent in the april babies forum :) )...but this one will be for everyone, whether your preggers, ttc, not wanting to be pregnant, frustrated with bf, df, or dh, or whatever!! Just post about anything that you need to vent about!!

For me, I'm super sick of being fat! LOL. im almost 33 weeks and i feel like a huge whale, i never really bought maternity clothes and i dont go many places so i wear the same things all the time...and im SO sick of wearing those..i want to have a burning ceremony for them after my daughter is born. OH and talk about being pale...i haven't been this pale since i was born and im so tired of it. im used to being tan (fake tan, but still tan ;) ) i can't wait to bake in the tanning bed once she's here...i already told DH that when she's born my only escape for awhile will be to tan and work out when he gets home from work/the gym. i can't wait!! and another thing im sick of? Putting lotion on every night...putting mederma on these dumb stretch marks i have, heating up cold lunch meat, worrying about every little germ in the house, etc...OH and the whole being fat thing is really getting in the way of having sex..i can't wait to have a flat tummy again and not have to worry that DH is squishing my child haha. really can kill the mood if you know what i mean. ;P

So anyways that covers most of mine for now...I'm SURE i'll come up with more later! :) yall take it away now, i know you can probably think of plenty to post about..this should be fun, let's try to keep it going! :)

Yay!!!!!  uh i could make this a book but Ill try to keep it short.  Im tired of being fat too..  I am almost 36 weeks!!!  I never bought maternity clothes either so Im sick of looking at the same clothes I can wear.  Im sick of rolling out of bed, and im sick of peeing!!!  its gotten so much worse over the last couple weeks.  And i hate having to catch my breath, when i walk to the kitchen or something.  And not being able to tan really bites too.  And im tired of bein so uncomfortable that I cant have sex, and it causes me and DF to fight constantly.  I love my baby so much and I used to love the attention but Im so sick of the "ur so cute, or ur so tiny for being 9 months, or your huge, or when you gonna pop, is it time yet"  and others rubbing my belly is really starting to annoy me.  And another thing is worrying so much about whos gonna be in the room, and not hurting anyones feelings.  and worrying about the delievery all together.  Im so ready for my son to get here.   Oh and it may sound bad but I cant wait to beable to crack open a redbull or a Beer and light up a cigarette.   Ugh 4 more weeks..... hopefully less if i can help it lol

ammanda, i would love to be fat and preegers. I can't really vent about that, but i will vent about df not wanting to help clean.he wants to eat , sleep,poop and work. It makes me so mad. like today, i ran swep, cooked and just left the dishes in the sink messy and screamed at him to get out of my kitchen becasue he didn't want to help put the groceries away.lets just say he's lazy. he plays his video games. Oh but he was in my pots of cooking food when i went back in the kitchen talking about dang girl these beans are slamming.. I was so mad at him. After, a few sjots i calmmed downed. Dnag can a sista get some help around the house. he went out for some cigareetes and brought back a single rose so i felt a little better.

The only complaint I have is that time seems to just be crawling by! I can't believe it! With my last little boy I was working and being really active so time seemed to go by a ton faster. Another thing is that I want to get out and walk and get some exercise (walking or going to the gym or something!) but with my hubby's schedule right now it is impossible for me to get out especially taking care of my 3 year old. I am also tired of not being able to sleep at all!!!! I have had insomnia since I was about 18 years old but this pregnancy has been absolutely awful and I don't know what to do about it. I have to force myself to sleep every night =) I really want the weather to warm up and stay up so I can swim in the pool and get a little bit of a tan while I am not a beached whale! I want to stay healthy throughout this pregnancy and it seems to be getting harder and harder! LOL! I am also so sick of the condo community that we live in... I swear in less than a year the whole community has gone to section 8 and our new neighbors fight and freak me out at the worst times (like 4 am when DH isn't here) so I can't wait until we can move... Like most of you ladies on here, I don't plan on buying a ton of maternity clothes because it gets so hot here I plan on living in my bathing suit and stretchy shorts and tank tops and flip flops! I have never been pregnant in the summer time so I am seriously excited to have a different pregnancy this time around =) Hope that everyone feels better after their rants!

Maybe I should call my doctor but then they will tell me to test and wait and call back in a month..GRRRRR why cant getting a BFP be as easy as it was with DS????? I am hoping I ovulated later than normal and I will get the BFP soon....

Well, I have so much to vent about already!!! MAJOR issue number one won't be a big worry for 31 more days, but as some of you know DH is in the Army and we're stationed in Korea. WELL I leave here for FL on May 8 (YAY!!!) BUT my effing flight is at 1030 in the effing morning!!! I have a 21 month old son that takes one nap during the day around 1 for an hour or so and goes to bed at 8 pm. HOW THE H3LL AM I SUPPOSED TO SURVIVE A 15 HOUR FLIGHT???? His bedtime is literally about 5 hours before we land, if he can sleep, and DH's excuse for not asking for a later flight...HE WASN'T THINKING ABOUT IT!!! Seriously...I'm only almost 5 weeks pregnant, feeling like @$$ already, and I have a 15 hour flight at the worse possible time! I'll be by myself, with Elijah, two dogs in separate cages, and luggage, on top of the early flight.

And I can not WAIT to get back to the states and to a real clinic or hospital. It took an hour just to get a D@MN cup to pee in for a pregnancy test so I could set up my first appointment, which thankfully is April 23, and I should *hopefully* be able to get another appointment set up for an ultrasound before I leave...

my vent is how i'm sick of teenage girls and youngish women who think they are in love ttc a baby.  I've just found out my sister who will be 22 in September, who has only been with her bf 10 months and just moved into their more or less first house together is feeling broody!!!  They argue non stop and she puts him down all the time, no doubt she'll be like my mum and my other sister where she'll conceive without even trying, whereas me on the other hand after ttc for 2 years and 8 months have yet to fall pregnant.  I'm in a good job and so is my partner, we bought our first house last year, are now saving like mad and out of a lot of debt yet i can't conceive.

Why do so many young teenagers and people in short relationships get what they want yet i can't.  I'm hoping she thinks before she conceives as she's really not in the relationship long enough to make such a big commitment but who am i, i'm only the interfering big sister

smjmekg:  I can SOOO totally sympathize with the flight thing.  Our flight left out at 10 am.  I had a 9 yr old just about to turn 2 yo and a 10 mos old.  We had to fly from okinawa to tokyo, change plans, fly to chicago, had a 6 hr layover, then flew to atlanta, then had a 2 hour drive to where we were going.  OMG I thought they were going to open the door and boot us off somewhere over the pacific.  My two little ones screamed the entire time.  I was ready to just call it quits and jump off the plane myself.  But we survived and so will you :) Good luck!  Atleast you only have ONE to worry about.  When you start getting stressed, just think about me and my dh and ALL of our luggage that we had to push through tokyo narita airport, along with a double stroller, 2 carseats and carryones, plus his sea bag.  That should give you a good chuckle and make you feel better. LOL


SOOO my complaints.  NOT be able to find anything decent to wear.  regular clothes makem e look dumpy and fat, maternity clothes make me look like i'm fat and faking pregnant.  UGG. I've also started having BH the last couple of days (i'm 17 wks 4 days) so that's been uncomfortable and becuase i've been pregnant so many times it's only gonna get worse.  Lucky me!!!

LOL I love you ladies...almost everything you all are saying I can totally relate to. My biggest beef right now was my SIL's baby shower. For baby #2, which you're NOT SUPPOSED TO DO BECAUSE IT'S TACKY!!! But whatever, I just kind of let that blow over...but when I got there, her mom was just showing off her wealth. That was the entire freaking point of the whole stupid shower. There were over $1200 worth of newborn girl clothes. WTF?! WHO NEEDS THAT?!??!
But it made sense when my SIL said "i threw away about 30 onesies the first week that jacob (my nephew) was born because they were stinky." i was like "well Kahlan made her onesies stinky and I just tossed them in with some bleach and washed them." and my SIL goes "ew that's so gross I just buy all new ones." And I'm thinking to myself "no you don't you b*tch, your mom buys them, you don't have that kind of money so you don't have the right to be that picky." but I didn't say it. I gave her a couple of BEAUTIFUL (stain-free) hand-me-downs from when my daughter was a newborn and when she pulled them out of the bag she went "oh, okay" and didn't say thank you. Ugh I was so hurt. I just don't have the money to spoil her stupid @$$ nor do I want to.

The whole shower was just one big show-off fest for her mom and EVERYONE thought it was tacky and rude, and she was just begging for stuff....on her registry she had things like ibuprofen (can't give to newborns) orajel and teething rings (most newborns won't need, and if they do you can run down and pick some up for $6) and biter bags (newborns can't use them!). So i know she was just enjoying being spoiled, which is fine if it's your first baby...but after that you just look selfish, and she did. the only reason she had a shower is because she threw away EVERYTHING from her son (he's not even 4 yet) because "i want all new things for my new baby" which would be FINE if you're rich enough to do it...but to be a little snotty snob and expect OTHER PEOPLE to buy YOUR BABY the things that YOU SHOULD NOT HAVE THROWN AWAY!??! OMG!

anyway....the other thing that's beefing me is the fact that everything seems to be going wrong at once. My husband's grandmother was in a car accident and broke several bones, and then ended up having to get the lower part of her right leg amputated. Then my grandmother started having serious heart issues and is in and out of the hospital getting tests. THEN josh's grandfather collapsed and has been weak and sick off and on for the last few weeks. THEN his grandmother got some sort of stomach bug that landed her in the hospital and she's been in bed and not doing so well. THEN! (!!) my grandfather fell and broke his femur. he had to get surgery and is now in rehab being taught to walk with a plated/bolted leg.

and I have even more beefs with my SIL and BIL and how they make everyone else watch THEIR child but that would be a rant 5 miles long so I'll just say that they need to watch their own d*mn child at least one day a week.

Oh I love this!!!

Gillian- It is definitely frustrating to see women like that for sure....it just doesn't seem fair! Someone has a plan for the ones that have a rough time TTC!

Smj- oh my....if Losingmymind can do it the way she did...yours will be a walk in the park!! LOL sounds tough....you'll be living in sunshine soon! It'll be nice for you to be closer to loved ones!

Ashelen- that's crazy.....I wouldn't want to buy her things knowing that she just tosses it if it's dirty!!!

Oooh another thing for me is that I'm having trouble sleeping. I know it's so early but I just toss and turn around and around. I go to bed a bit earlier so I can give time to toss and turn....oh and don't forget the trips to the toilet!! Ugh....it's only just begun!! LOL

I want to vent about taxes- could they make it any more difficult to figure out? I mean it's not THAT hard but some of the lingo in the book made me sit there and stare at it for 20 minutes... and I'm a very educated person!!!

But I can't complain too much since we're getting a fatty return to pay off some debt.

OMG I hate people like your SIL. I'd LOOOOOOOOOVE to see what she thinks of ME.  I have a large family (6 working on 7) so a lot of our clothes come from the salvation army or hand me downs.  I shop consighment shops, etc.  Even if it has a few stains, my Mom gave me a recipe for a stain remover that works AWESOME on baby puke!!!  People like her make me wanna throw up and slap them all at the same time LOL.  I am on what will be my SIXTH full term pregnancy and I have NEVER had a baby shower.  I guess no one has ever felt i was worthy of one and I don't feel right planning my own, just doesn't seem ok to me.  I did a registry with ONE of my pregnancies, the last one and only ONE person (my brother) bought anything off of it.  We provide EVERYTHING for our OWN kids and while gifts are always nice we NEVER expect anyone to do anything.  Your SIL needs a serious reality check, but she will never get one so long as mommy-dearest keeps footing the bill for her spoiled rotten little diva-@ss.  :)


ON another note...I hate seeing teenage girls walking around looking like streetwalkers with their way too sexy bras and thongs hanging out for the world to see.  I would KILL or atleast seriously hurt my 13 yo if she dressed like that.  Believe me she has a LOT to show off for her 13 yrs but thankfully she doesn't even like to wear anything that shows ANY amount of cleavage.  I wonder about some parents though.  Either they LET their children wear this garbage becuase they don't care or they don't pay enough attention to what their children do.  My duaghter has a semi-friend who wears hooker heels to every school function.  Her mother is a teacher...a pretty conservative one at that but her daughter...well even though her outfits look age appropraite, the shoes make her look like she should be swinging on a pole topless in some stripper joint.  No wonder these kids are wanting to TTC so young...their allowed to act WAY to old for their years!!


JoyRenee:  I hear ya on the taxes thing.  I do ours every year becuase i'm too cheap to pay someone else to do it so long as I can figure it out.  But I've found that places like turbotax and taxact are really good.  You plug in the info, follow the step by step instrructions and alls done.   We get federal done free and pay $15 to get state efiled.

i know i vented already but i am SO incredibly SICK of being pregnant. im only gonna be 33 weeks thursday..and im ready for this baby to come. of course i dont want her to come now because she's too little, but i won't mind if she shows at 37 weeks on the dot. i don't think im going to have another baby, i think one is perfect for me. im sick of being fat, im sick of being pale, and im sick of laying around doing nothing. im also sick of having to worry about what i eat, and whether or not its okay for her. and im sick of feeling paranoid about every little thing. URGH today is not my day. im ready to get this show on the road. ill have my daughter, my body, and my sex life back...it'll be the best of both worlds.

im ready to stuff my face with tons of caffeine, cold lunch meat, red steak, cookie dough, ETC...although i can't let myself do that until im satisfied with my body. but just knowing i can will be enough..

i wouldn't mind a cigarette right now either. or a drink. or to lay in a tanning bed. i also wouldn't mind going to a bar, or a party. or some dumb pointless get together. and i wouldn't mind not having to worry about who's smoking around me.

i can't wait till im skinny again, and i get to have laser treatments for these stretch marks. they are being removed BEFORE my six week postpartum period is up. thank goodness for lasers.

okay....just had to get that off of my chest. :) don't get me wrong, i love my daughter, and the majority of this pregnancy i have truly enjoyed...i am just to the point now where i don't want to do it anymore.

I'm typing this in the middle of the night...I have this bad tooth, and also bad allergies. For the last two days I've been unable to sleep for no more than 20 minutes at a time, because I have been having stabbing pains in my forehead every 20 minutes or so, that mostly happen when I'm lying down. The reason why I can't sleep is because the pain is so severe that it wakes me up from sleep!!! I'm sooo calling the doctor tomorrow morning to try to get in asap. I'm still a week early for my prenatal visit, but I'm getting worried that this is causing stress on the baby.Not to mention that it would be nice if I was able to sleep.

To everyone that's surprised by my SIL: I agree completely. she's so obnoxious about it. I had a shower for my first pregnancy (thrown by my SIL ironically) but I only asked for the things I absolutely knew I would need. I got clothes, a bouncer, a swing, and some diapers. And that was perfect for me and I was falling all over myself making sure everyone knew how grateful I was that they were so generous... and quite frankly, I would have been happy just with everyone showing up and spending time with me I wasn't focused on the gifts. That's just not healthy, or appropriate. Anyway...

I'm glad I didn't spend any money on her stuff, I'm sure it wouldn't fit her standards anyway. SOOO annoying.

OMG LosingMyMindInGa I couldn't agree more...I can't stand seeing those CHILDREN dressed like hookers. It turns my stomach that their parents don't have any sort of restraint. The saddest part is...most of those girls' mothers are simply living vicariously through their daughters by letting them sleep around and dress like that...and that is SO wrong.

Taxes aren't so bad for me, my grandfather is an accountant so he taught me how to handle pretty complex forms when I was a teenager (how fun, right? LOL). But they do seem to add more complications with every tax season.



mom2ariana I don't want to scare you...but pregnancy is the easy part. it's gonna get worse in every way after the baby gets here, but the return is that you have your precious little one to make it all worth while. But the body troubles, the lack of fun...yeah...it's just gonna get worse, LOL, and you're not even in the BAD part of the third trimester...so hang in there <3.

~still miffed about that baby shower LOL.

im sure your right. :) i dont mind the sleepless nights to feed her and all the joys that come with being a mom to a newborn...what i mind mainly is being fat and having to worry constantly about what im eating haha. plus im super paranoid about germs (its completely ridiculous) but i can't help it and if i don't entertain my worries then i'll just worry more!! which is truly starting to get on my nerves...but that part probably won't go away after she's born. ahh but yes, 7 weeks till my due date still sounds so far away. im hoping & praying she doesn't feel like sticking around in there for that long. but when i think about it, i remember being so happy when i hit 20 weeks and i was finally halfway there...looking back now that doesn't seem very long ago AT ALL. :)
