To ask what’s the most ridiculous thing you’ve cried over lately?

[FiveFarthings]

My DD has a Fisher Price jungle play mat with a little keyboard which plays songs. One of them is quite a sweet little song about a purple monkey in a bubblegum tree. I was singing along with it to DD and bam! Suddenly I was bawling my eyes out. Luckily DD is only 6 months so she didn’t notice (too busy trying to get everything in arms reach into her mouth)!

I was so embarrassed afterwards, what a ridiculous thing to start crying over! It’s not even a sad song so I don’t know why I got so emotional!

What’s the most ridiculous thing you’ve cried over lately?

One of the pets died last week. Wed had it less than a month.

My period is due so I’ve cried about 6 times today already.

A few times during say yes to the dress
Once because I saw a cute baby on a tv advert
Once because I was too full after my lunch to eat my chocolate
Seeing all my save the dates sitting ready to be posted.

I am an emotional wreck today, AF better hurry up and appear so I can woman up

Watching an old Call The Midwife last night. Chummy’s mum was dying and Chummy got on to the bed to cuddle her. It took me back ten years to when my own Mum died and I did the same. 😢

DD said a proper Thankyou for something I did for her this morning-she wouldn't think to do so all the time, () or would just be casual about it, but today she actually showed that she recognised id gone out of my way.
Made me cry for two reasons-one because it was nice, two because it shouldn't be as rare as it is

At the moment any little thing especially when it involves Babies or finding out someone is Pregnant is making me cry. I'm also in the TWW so I'm not sure if it's Pregnancy related or just my period on it's way so a bit of pmt. I know I was mega moody last time I was Pregnant but I can't recall being as emotional. I'm probably doing myself no favours though by pin pointing every symptom and hoping to be Pregnant before my Partner goes away at the end of next month and also before our would be due date for the Baby we lost in October

I cried yesterday because my newborn has tiny hands. Blooming hormones!

I'm pregnant so.... Everything. Literally anything, any time, any place.

In fact sometimes I cry and I have no idea why.

I cried at an advert for Cadbury's chocolate once. It was the one where a mum goes to her son's football match, and all the other kids have dads on the sidelines, cheering and afterwards, she gives him some chocolate and the subtitle says something like "you were great today, son" and the son breaks a piece off, gives it back to her and the subtitle says something like "you were a great dad today mum" 😭😭😭

It’s not ridiculous OP I think it’s sweet and I had similar moments when my DC were tiny. Recently I cried because my DD (2yo) who is already an independent little girl and rarely stays still long enough for me to play with her or interact properly (she’s a mile a minute and has her own way and dislikes people getting in the way of that!) turned to me on Sunday, grabbed my face in both hands and pulled me down for a kiss before toddling off to berate her brother (twins) for daring to move the blocks she had been playing with an hour before and had subsequently left alone. I cried like a twit in the kitchen before sorting their snacks because I didn’t expect it at all from her!

Today I’m getting choked up because my DS keeps climbing up on the settee and leaning in for big snuggles as he’s feeling under the weather. I’m not usually much of a crier but when in comes to my DC I’m a blubbery weirdo 😂

@Lozz22 I’m so sorry for your loss

I go through phases of crying and at the moment there's a drought.

A couple of months ago I went away for work for a few days and when I got home the new kitten came and sat on my neck as close as she could to my throat and looked so pleased to see me that I burst into tears. I think that's the most ridiculous thing I've ever cried over.

DS2 cries often, he just has all the colours of emotions and yesterday cried because his team lost their football match. Not because he was mardy; he's alright with losing, he was just sad for his team. DS1 rarely cries. I think the last time I remember him crying was when he was tackled during rugby and broke 3 bones, and even then by the time he was at the hospital he was telling a nurse how lovely she was.

This morning leaving the house for work my laptop bag strap broke as I swung it over my shoulder- it shot off across our front lawn which is an utter muddy swamp at the moment.

It's a mix of lots of little things- I have pulled a muscle in my lower back and in quite a lot of discomfort, got a really bad sore throat/lurgy as well as PMT and not properly slept since Thursday.

The pain of bending to pick up my filthy broken bag just was the icing on the cake & I sat in the car and sobbed!

DD said ‘Ohhh mummy you look like a princess, give me a twirl!’ As I came into the room after getting out of bed looking and feeling like shit.
She’s an absolute ray of sunshine.

@Kaykay066 pharmacists can prescribe antibiotics for a uti

@Sparklingplasters - Anything videos of animals makes me cry at the moment.

... but seriously, - polar bears, ducks, ducklings, chicks, doggies ('goodboy' breeds in particular), bears, deer... and I'm a fountain. It's so odd!

I was trying to explain the Holocaust to dtds age 8 this morning. Dh had to finish off as my voice was cracking up talking about it.

Cried earlier hearing Ozzy Osbourne new song with Elton John. Neither will die ordinary men. They have been in my life so long and for some reason today it made me cry.

The children's book 'little rabbit lost' makes me cry every time I read it. It's a good book though

OP my daughter has the exact same playmat and how ive managed not to cry at that song yet is beyond me! 🙈 the flying/swinging back to me part always gets me because i know one day she will grow up, leave home and live her own life 😩 so its not just you

I cried for 15 minutes the other evening because my cat threw up on the radiator and it went all down inside it. I'm 37 weeks pregnant and couldn't cope with the thought of having to clean it 😂

I cried as I had a dream my friend had died two years ago, the one I saw a few weeks ago and spoke to yesterday

I’ve got degenerative disc disease, this morning began a particularly bad attack. DH left yesterday for a week working abroad and I had so many things planned while he was —not under my feet— away: a massive spring clean including all the inside windows, a six mile walk with my local dog walking friends, pruning all of the fruit trees in our little orchard, and finally starting to eBay all the stuff clogging up my log cabin ‘office’. I won’t get any of them done now (know from bitter experience I’ll be out of action for at least a week) and I burst in to tears not of pain but frustration. Felt a bit silly afterwards.

A few months back my OH and I were very happily curled up on the sofa watching tv with some snacks when I suddenly got insanely sad that we were at home on the sofa instead of out partying. I barely ever cry and I don’t particularly like going out that much! Anyway it was a full on meltdown, ‘our lives are over! we’ll never be young again! this is it for life! and I really, really sobbed into my bewildered OHs shoulder as he hugged me. I found out 3 days later that I was pregnant, and then it made sense.

My uncle moving to a village 10 minutes away, and I was worried about him being lonely, so I cried myself to sleep.

I was looking at my DS (5 months old) and cried when I realised just how happy/in love I was.

Even more daft than that, I almost got upset thinking about the end of our next holiday... we're not even on holiday yet (and don't go until the end of the year), but I'm already sad about the idea of it finishing and us coming home!
