GET OVER YOURSELVES - you are having a BABY - it's a 50/50 situation, you don't get to choose.

If you want to know heartbreak, devastation, or the feeling of getting your guts ripped out, go and talk to a couple who are struggling with infertility.
Be there month after month when AF shows, help pick up the pieces when yet another IUI or IVF has failed. Listen to women who have run out of options because 2 IVF treatments was all they could afford.... and NOW tell me about how awful it is that you don't get to play dress-up with a daughter, or secure the family name with a son.

You are having a baby, that's all that counts - be sodding grateful

GRRRRRRR

With the weather starting to warm up... me being pregnant and hot natured to begin with... I need to buy some dresses or skirts to keep cool when going out.

With that being said...
When the hell are designers going to put some GD thicker straps on summer dresses??? I have C cups and they are not perky... so I NEED to wear a damn bra!!! And that is not F-ing possible with hardly any F-ing casual summer time dress!!!!
And come on... put a frickin liner in ALL dresses!!! WTH is with some of them not having a liner in them?? Shouldn't that be and automatic addition to ANY dress? Especially ones that have fabric that you can DEF see through.
Just GRRR So GD frustrated trying to find decent, affordable clothing that keeps in mind that not all women have a perfect perky boobed body!!!!!

To whoever has gone through 5 sponge in under a week: sponge are for washing up only. They are not one use items, if you use it for something that requires you to chuck the sponge after using it (eg. Wiping down the cats food dish) then you should be using a chux which costs 10c per thing instead of a dollarfor a sponge.

To the clouds in Corfu: FUCK OFF!

To the restaurants/bars/tourist attractions/boat trips: Open!

We spent money we probably shouldn't have on ONE LAST NON-FAMILY HOLIDAY! Everything we researched said tourist reason starts in April but everywhere we try to go is shut. We leave tomorrow and we've only had 1.5 sunny days in the week we've been here. I desperately wanted to relax on a beach and we've spent most of the holiday playing cards in the apartment looking at the rain.

I KNOW I should be grateful, I KNOW that we can hardly complain, and I know we should be able to just 'enjoy each others company' but I'm BORED!

I keep snapping at OH like he can control the weather, everything he does/says is annoying me and he's moaning at me for being on the internet on my phone.

Grr, I'm be better off at home in the garden.

To my inlaws...I am not going to spend the next 3 years worrying that this child is Autistic like my first. If there is something wrong with this baby we will love it regardless.

To my hubby...I get that we are in the middle of moving but I need a lot of sleep and rest right now, the bump demands it...lol.

To my fiance - how many times do I need to tell you that my boobs are killing me, yet you still try and grab them! and no, there are not LOOKING at you they are telling you to piss off! And stop moanin at me because I fall asleep at 9pm and happen to fall asleep for a nap when my toddler naps sheeesh you make me feel so bad for getting some sleep when our toddler usually wakes up 3 times a night and who gets up....me. Give me a break!

to everyone who has done this to me: now you know how i feel about my business being put out there and sorry that i posted on face book about you having a boy when i assumed you had already told family so don't give me an attitude over something so simple and this just made it known to me about how all my in laws feel about me so you all can kiss my a$$ wont be having anything to do with you all anymore

Work: I know more than my manager, get paid less than the slacker who can't show up to work on time and am still expected to stay and work 10 hours without a single bite to eat just so my manager doesn't have to serve customers. God forbid I don't do everything for her.

OH: I love you, and you've been great, but when you have a day off and you tell me you're going to do the dishes, or work on the nursery, I actually expect something to get done. Not get home to find out you just played video games all day. If you were to say, I'll probably just play video games, then fine, but don't tell me you're going to do things, because I actually expect that when I get home

Car: Screw you for being more expensive to fix than you're worth, causing us to have to buy a new car during a tight financial time. I'm not going off work and having a baby anytime soon or anything.

There, better.

Not trying to start an argument, I have to add that while I don't know what it's like to struggle with infertility I do think gender disappointment is a real thing and shouldn't be attacked.

I feel terrible for the couples who struggle to get pregnant, and I'm sure it's very hard to see women who are disappointed that they are having a baby but aren't happy about the sex, BUT they are entitled to feel what they feel and I don't think it should be discounted. I'm sure they're happy their baby is healthy etc but some people can't help but feel a bit sad if they really had their heart set on one particular gender, especially if it was there last child and will never have another chance to conceive that sex.

Honey, didn't you start this vent thread? I don't think we should be highlighting anything anyone says. This is where we're coming to let it out without judgment or bias. There's some stuff on here that I don't completely agree with but I don't mind, nor will I bring it up, because the beautiful ladies here really need to just get it all out.
