To cry because I can't open the tuna

[Holly94]

13 weeks pregnant, ragingly hormonal and in the throes of an incredibly uncomfortable UTI.

Craving tuna and cucumber sandwiches like there's no tomorrow and I can't fucking open the tin because of the bastard tin opener and its incompetence.

Currently sat on the sofa in a fit of rage.

Reason no. 1 I can never get divorced is we would all starve.

Why are bastard cans and jars so hard to open?

I came on tosay are you pregnant. If so, yanbu. Else yabu

I see you are :o

Got an electric tin opener from Argos. Best. Thing. Ever.

So it's not just me being incompetent unable to use a simple tin opener then?!

Not just you, DD1(15) is way better at our electric can open than me and has stronger wrist for jars.

I feel for you. Can you pop to the shops and buy one of the ones with a ring pull (or better still, a ready made sandwich).

How am I supposed to take care of a baby if I can't even open a tin of tuna?!

there. Better?

My wrists went. Possible RSI from too much MN and texting

Not pg related in my case but don't loads is women get carpal tunnel problems in pg?

Babies have ring pulls anyway. No opener required.

The baby won't eat tuna.

Just don't get a cat.

Babies are easier than tins of tuna, and they don't smell of fish either. Its a win win situation. Don't worry you will be fine.

Babies require much less twisting, I find.

Tho I did get tendonitis from picking up my son from his cot at a funny angle.

I also got a jar opener...a weird rubber thing for about 50p from Tesco...saves us all regularly.

Hecsy the cat is currently sat staring at me as I battle with the tin!

Emsmaman unfortunately no shops nearby and DP has the car for work :(

Do you have anything else you can eat? Some cheese? A few Pom Bears?

I have banned myself from buying ring pull cans because of the rage I know they will cause me.

maybe i'm just particularly ham-fisted but they always just snap off for me.

OP try buying the pouch tuna

buildingmycorestrength I'm going to have coleslaw and monster munch instead. Only another 27 weeks of this instead...

Of this to go, that was supposed to read.

YABU and feeble! Get a grip (or another tin or tuna!), woman!

Poor bugger.

You AND the cat

Get your partner to grab some easy open tuna and maybe a new can opener on his way homefrom work.

Xylem...come on, pregnant AND hungry! Bad combination. I used to be completely overwhelmed by hunger and cravings when pregnant. I'd get total tunnel vision til I ate.

I've done it!!! Yes!

Get that bad boy down you. Don't offer any to the cheeky cat. AND have coleslaw.

Well done! see, you'll be fine with a baby after all
