I haven't had many hormonal meltdowns since I got pregnant but definitely having one now... last night all I wanted to do was go home and relax with the hubs (we only have Wednesday and Thursday nights off together). I have an older sister (14 years older) who lives in NM and she has two kids, very dysfunctional family and she can be kind of a control freak... she's been bugging my mom to come down there after Christmas and my mom doesn't really want to, so my mom told her it's too close to my baby shower (1/5). Lo and behold right after they get off the phone with each other my sister starts blowing up my phone about how she's upset about it and my mom is retired and she's not and blah blah blah... then my husband tells me that everyone's going to dinner for his mom's birthday tomorrow night and his mom asked if he could go (he can't because he works) but no one has said anything to me at all. My inlaws have been acting weird towards me lately almost like I've done something to piss them off but I haven't (to my knowledge). They're last minute people so who knows, they'll probably ask me to go an hour before dinner. Then my husband tells me that I'm on his grandma's sh!tlist because I haven't called her yet to thank her for my birthday card. At this point if anyone has beef with me they can take a number, I'm pregnant and don't need this crap!
End of rant. Sorry that was so long but I had to get it out! All stupid stuff, I know.

It's the "stupid stuff" that gets us the most upset, honestly. At least you recognize it's probably the hormones affecting you! I have to stop and do that sometimes - am I REALLY upset about this, or is this hormones? I'm so sorry you're so frustrated and people around you are being a bit difficult at the moment. I think we've all had plenty of times like that during our current pregnancies, haha. I know I sure have

I never realized I had to call to say thank you for a birthday card. A call and/or a note (I am big on thank you notes) for a gift, yes, but I never thought a card really needed a specific effort for acknowledgement. I mean, if you talk to her, you should say thank you for the card, but if you forget it's no big deal. I don't think you breached any etiquette rules there. She's just being oversensitive.
I remember quite a few meltdowns with regard to both my family and my husband's family last time I was pregnant, and this time I've had a couple about his family. I think it's normal

My husband and I got married in june, we still have not sent out thank yous, because right after we got back from the honeymoon we found out i was expecting and i was very very sick for the first 4 months!. LOL. We also didnt ask for any gifts though and wanted people to donate to St. Judes instead.
We still had people give us cards with money in them so i guess they deserve a thank you lol... maybe by Christmas time.0 -
Thanks for being so understanding ladies... I'm just having one of those GRR! days lol. I feel bad for my mom because she had to listen to me this morning, but she's always cool about stuff like that. She put up with me through four years of law school so she's a trooper!
In a bit of grandma's defense, she's older (83) and very old-fashioned, and sometimes my FIL overblows things. I'll call her later today and I'm sure she'll be fine. It was just one thing after another!0 -
I think we can all understand where you are coming from. Heck there are times i wish it was legal to strangle people! lol. At least you know that you can brush this off an hormones and know that its not really anything against you. Pregnancy is such a huge thing for us and we tend to want things our way! lol0

Please I am the queen of hormonal meltdowns with this pregnancy everything irritates me. I have honestly looked at family members and have wanted to punch them in the face. I do not act on it but it sure makes for a great fantasy. Honestly when it comes to in laws I have learned that no matter what you do you can never be perfect for them they will always find a way to find something wrong with what you say or do.0
