For being pregnant, hormonal, and irrationally inpatient and grumpy with the world and everyone in it?

[NathansMummy0203]

Just that really. I am 5 months pregnant. That in itself is no problem. Have 2 DS aged 1 & 2. Again, no problem in itself but start adding wider family, friends with their kids etc into the mix and I just feel pissed off and find them all highly annoying. Someone tell me it's my hormones and I'm not just an irrational grumpy unsociable witch..... please

I know the feeling OP. I'm 18 weeks and hace an 11,8 and 1 year old and whilst i can easily deal with them and DP, i feel myself getting irrationally irate when friends pop in with their kids and family keep asking for favours i.e can you pick up and drop DN to and from school which wouldnt be a problem if mine actually needed me to take them and my sis didnt live less than 5 minutes walk from school whereas i stay at least half hour walk and her excuse is but little ones napping. Um yeah so is mine honestly think the older i get and the more pregnant the less time i have for people

Definitely mummy exactly the same situation here. My house is always full of family and friends and their kids. Usually this would be fine but like you say the older and more pregnant I get the less tolerant I am. Feel like people just always need things from me and I don't feel like giving at the moment. Also can't be arsed making them food when they 'pop in' at breakfast/lunch/dinner time. Making my kids share all their toys when their kids won't even share my kids own toys back with them then having to clean up after them all!! And breathe...... lol

We could almost be the same person my friend came down with her daughters the other week and usually i love them to pieces but from the moment they came in her 4yr old was demanding food, snatching toys off my toddler and pulling her baby sister around by the legs and my friend bless her she tries but she's too soft on her she admits it herself. I'm ashamed ive been putting everyone off meeting up past couple of weeks using pregnancy tiredness etc as an excuse. Same with family my sister wants me to do this that and the next thing even though she'sperfectly capable but can't be bothered.

I'm 11 weeks and already absolutely not suffering fools! I don't have any children yet nor do I have family swirling with requests so I guess I am getting off lightly, but blimey yes I think most people out there are idiots and I have absolutely zero patience for it ☺️

Sounds like it mummy  my friend was in at half 8 this morning with her son, 3 months difference between him and my oldest. I'm running round dishing out food, making her coffees and baking my oldest share his toys whilst she sits, eats, drinks and does nothing when her DS says 'NO' to my DS when he asks for a go of his own toy  it has made me decide that no more play dates for a while in our house so he doesn't have to share his stuff and I don't feel obliged to make him. Should start a new thread for that 'where do people stand on making their kids share their toys in their own home' could be interesting haha. Good for you leomama I am following suit and toughening up from today

YANBU. That is all.
