AIBU with my friends?

[PhyllisNights]

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.

OP you are boring the hell out of your friends - HTH

In itself YANBU to want your friends to be excited for you, but from reading your post I'd guess your friends are probably just tired of your "I've done everything before you" boasting. Being pregnant sounds like one of many "successes" you've bored them with.

Stop it OP.

You cannot be real!
But if you are, I'll be your friend. I think I love you already

There is no ahead. Life isn't a race. Relax

GaelicSiog, I'm five months and a half. I don't want to sound selfish, upset or spoilt, but I thought that everyone would be so happy for me. I'm the first one in the group, it's all new. Every week we meet up, I'm the sober one. No one has even mentioned planning a baby shower. I feel embarrassed that I may have to elect one of them to do it? They should be offering.

Youngest of 10? Wow. I'm the youngest of 4. I have two nephews through my brother. My sisters don't have children - one is single & the other is looking into freezing her eggs.

Wait till baby is born, the 'oh we really give a fuck about your baby' lasts about a week.

Truly, it is deeply misogynistic to suggest that you get a squealy, self-absorbed character to bring to life a squealy, self-absorbed post...

You fell pregnant naturally. That's not a reflection on how wonderful you are at everything and how much work you put in, it's a fucking biological reaction not an achievement. Your friends are giving you the side eye because you sound insufferably smug and boastful here just from a few posts of course this isn't really real though

Oh this has to be fake! Well played OP!

Elect one to do the bridal shower! Bravo!

Now this is a fucking joke you'll 'elect' someone to do your baby shower? This is a fucking reverse.

Absolutely ridiculous.

Oh dear lord Phyliss. I was feeling a little sorry for you up to that last post .... no one is seriously that entitled and deluded? 😮

The worrying thing is that there actually are some real people who are like this.

And OP STILL cannot contemplate the idea that she might actually be the one with a problem not her friends.

Ffs. So self absorbed it belongs in the DM.

'I'll have to elect someone to throw my baby shower'. Good luck finding anyone who accepts.

Smeaton, that was brilliant. You can be a member of my social circle any time.

baby shower!! It's the gift that keeps on giving.

Aww you blew it completely with that last post op.

NOBODY elects someone to throw them a baby shower, just nobody.
And anyone who 'elects' some poor friend to organise one for them should automatically qualify for not having one.

Epic fail. Must try harder next time.

I'm loving this thread.

Just waiting for comments about what the OP is going to do with the placenta and i can call bingo!

For the love of all things holy, please let this be a reverse.

Surely this can't be real. No one would keep coming back to a thread like this if they were a real and adding even more fuel to the fire

There must be some culture clash here or something because I cannot believe the reaction in here. I chose one of my friends to organise my hen do. I can surely ask one of them to arrange my baby shower for a few months time?

Hahahaha!!
Elect someone to thow a party in your honor?!?!
Do you hear yourself?!?!

You say the test will be once the baby arrives, I guarantee they will be even less interested then, it cries, it craps,
You'll be even more insufferable
"Isnt it the most beautiful baby in the universe?
Look at how advanced they are! They're blinking!
I had no gas and air, and no pain relief, what can I say I'm just such an overachiever!"

And believe me if you find mother and baby groups you will piss everybody off with your
"My baby is destined to do something great"
"I'm going to do the right thing and stay at home.and be a loving mother.
It's bloody offensive op.

Just. Stop. Talking.
Keep it to yourself.

OP if this really isn't a wind up you have GOT to get yourself some therapy because you are the most incredibly narcissistic and self-involved poster I've ever come across on this board and that's saying something.

I'll throw you a baby shower op! I'm having my kitchen TOTALLY RE DONE, like, a kitchen/ diner. Granite work surfaces, built in mod cons, I've gone with magnet.

I need the perfect excuse to show it off so all come to my new kitchen for it? Seriously your bitch friends ain't seen nothing yet

How does one hold an election process for a baby shower? Are there votes and ballots and stuff?

Or is it whoever can't run away fastest gets tagged?

TBH. Having RTWT I think this belongs in Mn classics 😂😂
This op, is from me.
