Can't stand being on facebook??? AAAGH

[Millnsy]

Just been on facebook and had to run away and take refuge here with people who understand... Have just been on tonight and have 2 friends finishing work tomorrow to go on maternity leave (1 who only got married last May and sneezed and got pregnant with number 2 and the other friend is pregnant with her second with a perfectly convenient 2 year gap, after only getting married in JUly 06 - she was so fertile she was up the duff at her own wedding!). Then I saw my Sister in law's status update going on about how grumpy she is and guess what? her 2nd baby is also due in 2 weeks time...

Once I got over all the pregnant *******s growing about maternity leave and / or complaining about feeling tired, I then got to read everyone else's status updates about their happy lives with their young families...


AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH

Does anyone else feel like life has left them behind and its just NOT FUCKING FAIR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

DITTO, was just literally on facebook thinking exactly the same!!!!

 

[vineyard]

I feel the same.

I feel the same to, we should have a sticky thread on here we can go into to rant when were feeling low. Does anyone else feel low most of the time these days? And just sick of life handing us this dodgy card?

Yes. Exactly!! Of everyone that I grew up with, I am the only one without a baby (or babies!) yet, even though I'm pretty young (24/will be 25 this year). I can't even look at their online journals or pages because they are just covered with pictures of sonograms and pregnant bellies and beautiful babies. Somehow, all of my friends and peers skipped ahead of me in life and everyone around me is working on completing their families and we haven't even been able to start ours no matter how many times I diligently take my temperature or no matter how many sticks I pee on and then try to decode the lines... If one more person around me unexpectedly turns up pregnant I am going to scream! Not to mention the fact that every time I go to work it is staring me in the face too because just about every one of my female coworkers still in their reproductive years is either pregnant or just gave birth within the last 4 months!!

Sorry--rant over, I just wanted to say that I understand your frustration because this is supposed to be the most natural thing in the world and it is killing me that it isn't.

Completely hear ya! So unfair that people are able to pop out bambino's left right and centre and I'd be happy just to get that "positive" on a stick!!

I agree it's horrible... most of my friends already have babies, and ofcourse they happen to be some of the most beautiful babies I've ever seen & naturally their pics are everywhere on the persons page.

It's hard because u want to be happy for your friends...and ofcourse I am but theres always that lingering envy... Then again, most of my friends who have had babies have told me if they could go back in time they would have waited, and they envy ME for being able to go out & party/drink all the time.. So I guess it works both ways...

It's TOUGH! so TOUGH! And it's so hard to fight this feeling, but it is only because at the moment we feel we don't have what others do. But we will, even though the road is a lot harder. I'm trying honestly very hard to feel like I already have it, because I will have it. )
