Life Without Baby

filling the silence in the motherhood discussion

Whiny Wednesday

Whiny_WednesdayIn this run-up to the coming weekend, odds are you have plenty to get off your chest.

Luckily, today is Whiny Wednesday, so feel free to gripe about this, or anything else that’s on your mind.

Comments

  1. My whine is about my neighbors who moved in last year. They recently built a giant play yard against our fence so whenever I’m in the back yard I have to see it. Then a few days ago she thought she was funny saying she will have to start using some of our bedrooms because she’s running out of space ( they have two kids ages 1&2 and she’s about 6 months along with third, they live in a three bedroon house and we live in a four bedroom and I guess she thinks we don’t need those rooms because we have no kids). I told her they should start looking for a bigger house.

  2. My whine is for my husband. His last friend had a baby on Sunday. When my husband first heard about the pregnancy he cried, and has been upset about every time it comes up. His friend announced the birth to my husband and everyone else by text to a large group. The next day, the people who received the message, were replying “to all” words of congratulation. So my husband got copied on messages like that all day while he was at work and struggled all day not to show he was upset. I am really pissed off at his friends for being so insensitive.

  3. I am so tired of people re-posting on facebook baby stuff or being a parent stuff or posting belly pic’s and comlaining about how hot it is and they can’t wait to be done being pregnant. And making comments that “great parents make great kids” I was floored that one of my friends I thought understood me and my situation would have some consideration. The comment wasn’t directed at me, but I sure felt pretty crappy after reading it. I think maybe it’s time to get rid of facebook. Some people truley are oblivious and I swear they want nothing to to with how we feel! I feel so left out of my circle of friends, it sucks! Time for a change 🙂

  4. My whine today is about my carpool. Five of us cram into a car all week long and we all should be doing our utmost to get along. Yet, two of my carpoolers are bullies and use the most horrible language during the whole ride to work and back home. They threaten other drivers, force us to listen to their alarming language and road range and childish threats to other drivers, and name calling to total strangers minding their own business in their own cars. One subjects us to her rap music (awful!). I can’t take it anymore. One of the bullies doesn’t like me at all and I honestly cannot understand why. I keep quiet and hardly say a word during our rides.

    One day she started getting really sick in my car one morning when I was driving everyone. I took two hours out of my work day that morning to bring her to the hospital. Then I took my lunch hour that day to drive her all the way home, then I had to come all the way back to work. I’ve gone out of my way for this one rider and she has continually excluded me from the group and been mean and unkind.

    We go miles out of our way to drop off one other rider at her out-of-the-way workplace, but when I ask her to drive 1/4 of a mile out of her way to drop me at my work place, she gets mad (she wants me to walk it instead, I guess). I’m appalled at the junior high school level of immaturity and tempers from them. Social exclusion is something that mean bullies resort to in high school, there’s no place for it in a carpool with adults.

    I’m so done. I came to work today and immediately started asking other coworkers about starting up a new carpool. I hope to be out of this one at the end of the month. Life is to short for such abuse. I don’t understand people sometimes who think they need to bully others to feel good about themselves. I’ve thought about talking with her about it like two adults but she’s the most unapproachable person, and she is far from adult, so I don’t think such a conversation would go well. Like I said, life is too short for such abuse.

  5. P.S. Oh yeah, and by the way, Sunday is Mother’s Day. Blessings and love to us all on this difficult day coming up.

  6. My whine today is being annoyed by a friend and husband refusing to understand that I’m done with fertility treatments and trying to have a baby. My friend told me today that she doesn’t believe that I don’t want kids anymore. According to her I have a wall up and I should just admit to myself that I do in fact still want kids and adopt. SHUT THE “H” UP! WHAT DO YOU KNOW ABOUT WHAT I’VE BEEN THROUGH! is what I was yelling in my head.
