VENT THREAD! Things you WISH you could say..

[Emerald87]

Dear former coworker,

I don't need your fake Facebook congratulations, and especially if you're going to follow it up with snide comments behind my back. We all know you only posted that to make yourself look good, but what you said afterwards definitely undid that. Here's what you never understood: while you were calling yourself a "good Christian," you were also judging me for a pain you didn't and never could understand. See, infertility is more painful than I think your cold, tiny heart has the ability to feel. So when you complained constantly about the morning sickness from your 2 accidental pregnancies, a little piece of me died every time you posted it on Facebook or moaned and groaned about it in the hall. Because you were complaining about something I would have given anything for. And now that it's my turn, you should note that I've yet to complain once. Why? Because I wanted this so badly, and I could never take for granted how blessed I am to finally get this chance. So go ahead and make your snide, passive aggressive comments... But if you feel the need to do that, don't bother with publicly congratulating me... Because, seriously, I don't want someone so bitter and hateful to say anything. If you can't be happy for me, then just shut up and don't say anything. K? Thanks.

Dear current, psycho coworker,

No, your advice to "just relax and stop trying so hard" wasn't right. We had a medical reason it was so incredibly difficult, and we had a less than 1% chance it would ever happen... So "relaxing" wasn't the answer. For your information, we had just made an appointment to make arrangements for IVF, which we knew we couldn't afford so I was MORE stressed than I'd ever been before. This baby is nothing short of a miracle, so how about you stop trying to pretend your crummy advice had any hand in me getting pregnant. How about you admit that it's a statistical anomaly, if you can't admit that miracles happen. But for the love of all that is good and right in this world, how about you never again be dumb enough as to believe that I followed your advice and it helped. Frankly, your advice was the least helpful and one of the most offensive things that you could have possibly said. Had you not been a coworker and not said it at work, I would have probably called you on it at the time.

I absolutely positively HATE this advice, and I got it from every angle. My mother, co-workers etc. The only people that understand that you don't stop trying are you and your doctors.
And just like you, I was booked in for IVF and also fell with this little miracle. And my god were we "trying hard" lol...

Congratulations BTW!

To my DH. I realize when you came home today that the dishes weren't done and dinner wasn't on the table.

That DOES NOT MEAN, as you put it, that I "sat on my ass all day while you were out earning a living". I hung the blinds, did the laundry, shopped for curtains, fed the dog and did, in fact, do the dishes. They have a habit of piling up. And countless other stuff that you won't notice, because you don't do anything to take care of our home. Oh, and I grew part of a baby, which sometimes makes me tired / sick and not in the mood to fry you up something for dinner.

What you might be able to see is my hip bone which is no where near my vagina your freaking *******!!!

Dear everyone I know:

Please stop asking me to do everything under the sun. I know I have responsibilities, but I really can't take anything extra right now. I'm pregnant, I have a 10 month old, I have a grandmother with alzheimer and dementia, not to mention I'm a cosmetology student. Oh, and the mountain of clothes that need to be washed, and the ever growing mound of dishes in the sink. PLEASE GIVE ME A BREAK. I'm not asking for anything over the top, just stop expecting me to be superwoman.

Thanks,
I love you

To the asshole drivers in this damn city,

Why the hell do you feel the need to tailgate so damn much? You are not going to get to wherever the hell you're going any quicker. You're not going to make me speed up. I also don't really want to get hit again, like I did yesterday. Just because there's a dent there does not make my car a friggin' target for you to aim at. Twenty years accident free and I get rear-ended yesterday. Not a big deal. Insurance is going to cover it. But if I get hit again anytime soon, the person that causes it (and you can bet it's not going to be me considering my record and that I can also navigate at 90 knots in a helicopter flying 15 feet above the trees so driving's not that difficult for me) is going to wish they had never been born. Oh, and you better not be like way too many people in this city with expired plates and no insurance, because I will sue you for every penny you have. Not only will I play the pregnancy card, but I will also pull the military card as well and, in this city, means that you will get no sympathy.

That is all. Carry on. Nothing to see here.

Dear ankles, I would appreciate it if you didn't swell up to the size of tree trunks in this unseasonably hot weather the UK is having at the moment!

Dear DH,

I am no longer permitted to lift anything more than 5 lbs. There are currently 3 large boxes in the back of the car that need to be removed before I bring the car in to the shop to get fixed tomorrow morning. I would like to go through them tonight. I have been asking you since 5 p.m. to bring them in. It's now 7 p.m. Please GET OFF YOUR ASS!

[miss cakes]

dear ralphy my ex boyfriend best friend whatever you are stop taking the piss out of every baby name i come up with to the point where i want to kick your teeth in! i knew there was a good reason i dumped you....
to my darling sister yes we know your perfect please fuckoff for the duration of my pregnancy

 

[Jilliank2005]

Oooh, ive got one. Dear brother in law, I like you a lot usually, never had a problem with anything, until last week. next time you have a thought about my pregnancy, keep it to yourself. I was planning to post my 20 week scan on Facebook so some distant friends could see it. I'm very proud of my LO that took me 15 months to conceive. My husband thought this was a good idea until you messaged him straight after the scan to say "whatever you do don't let Jill put it on Facebook". Half an hour later my husband said he'd changed his mind and didn't want to put the picture up. I was OK with that until he told me the reason why was his brother had said so.

1) I'd rather see someone's happiness than the fact they've liked a multinational corporation, or a FarmVille invite, or an inane comment about Nottingham Forest.

2) let me?! LET ME?! This isn't 1900.

3) please let me know how and when or even IF I'm allowed to post about my birth in advance. Or send your preferences snidely to my husband as your first response immediately after the good news.

Oh that's better!

 

[mummy2be1987]

Jill I would post it anyways and unfriend him. Got nothing to do with him your baby your rules xx
