AIBU with my friends?

I'm the first one in my social group to get pregnant. I talk to my friends on a daily basis through WhatsApp and see them all in person at least once a week.

As it's my first pregnancy, I'm very excited. I can't stop talking about it. I'm so lucky, so happy, so fortunate & so privileged. My baby feels so special, like I know my baby will do something incredible in this world - I can feel it!!

And yet, my friends have started to turn on me. They've become very jealous. They make snide remarks, they mimick me & give me side eye. I feel like my pregnancy is the butt of all the jokes.

I can't help that I've been so blessed and so fortunate to get pregnant out of my friends first. I went to college, uni, started a professional career first & got married first. I've just always been up step ahead - I can't help it!!

Would it be unreasonable to sit my friends down and ask them to stop being so negative? I want to ask them to support me better and help me out.

Gaff. Autocorrect.

Love it! I've got a copy of oval room blue in my guest room and it looks gorgeous.

MiddleClassProblem · 21/04/2017 21:07

If you set up a new one don't forget to @ the op as well as link just in case she doesn't see it.

I can't stop singing "it's fajita night and the feelings right, it's fajita night oh what a night"

GaelicSiog · 21/04/2017 21:09

I'll share the link and @ in here. Although from the title I have planned, she'll know its for her Wink

Mini Gaelic and I have polished off our fajitas and have moved onto high school musical. Her choice. todays choice parenting: tick.

The house opposite are having a party. They are currently playing Club Tropicana so loudly that the glass of water by my bed is vibrating like that scene in Jurassic Park. It's making the dog bark and the baby scream. BASTARDS! (Yes I know it's only 9pm - I have an 8 week old. This is a late night to me!) Current plan is to pop round every day for the next week when the baby wakes for his 5am feed and ring their door bell. Other suggestions welcome!

smeaton :( I will admit mini Gaelic ate most of the fajitas. Bloody kidney infections :(

GaelicSiog · 21/04/2017 21:20

fenella block them in? Mumsnet classic? Wink

GinIsIn · 21/04/2017 21:22

Gaelic Alas we don't have a car. Sad They're playing Human League now. I might have to go round and fajita-bomb their house....

Chippednailvarnishing · 21/04/2017 21:24

Fenella maybe it's the OP's baby shower?

GinIsIn · 21/04/2017 21:25

Nah - it's a terrace so you can see in. They've got a shit kitchen....

GaelicSiog · 21/04/2017 21:26

Fajita bomb could well be the way forward. Or music of a similar volume early tomorrow morning to ease their hangovers?

AIBU to comment just to nudge his closer to having to have a new thread?

GaelicSiog · 21/04/2017 21:28

Thanks smeaton. This is my second this year, I've had a billion of the bloody things since I had DD. Not sure what the correlation is there but there must be something.

Ouch. I did no redecorating until DD was out of that stage. Gives you plenty of time to plan a killer messiah worthy baby shower fajita Friday suitable kitchen though.

GaelicSiog · 21/04/2017 21:29

I'm poised and ready, bear, poised and ready. Should I do it when we hit 40 pages? Like 975 posts?

GinIsIn · 21/04/2017 21:30

It just got louder. A fajita bomb may not be enough, if they carry on I might have to stab them in the eye with some nachos.... Angry

Chippednailvarnishing · 21/04/2017 21:30

Fajita bomb

You mean a vegan fajita bomb.

Please don't use wren. My parents were very unhappy with them...

beargrass · 21/04/2017 21:30

Hold on. Let me comment again first

GaelicSiog · 21/04/2017 21:32

Can you go round there, tell them there's an emergency and you need them to babysit, Fenella? nothing like a crying baby to get them to turn the music off. You can call false alarm after 5 mins Wink

PurpleDaisies · 21/04/2017 21:35

You mean a vegan fajita bomb.

I think technically a vegan fajita bomb is what happens after eating too many vegan fajitas. It's all the beans and vegetables.

GaelicSiog · 21/04/2017 21:36

GinIsIn · 21/04/2017 21:37

Purple in that case I'll send my DH around - definitely his area of expertise....
