To have just thrown a tantrum

[SmidgenofaPigeon]

I am 32 weeks pregnant, bored of it and uncomfortable, and I’m not normally known for being easygoing as it is, but Christ the red mist that just descended. I don’t even know why really.

We had our passports out to send to mortgage guy. DH commented I had 9 months left on mine and would probably need a new one before I traveled abroad again. I said I wouldn’t and I could travel abroad anytime I want in the next nine months. He reminded me about the baby and about covid. I said ‘what so I can’t even go to fucking Paris on the Eurostar just because I have a baby?!’

He’s such a reasonable person that it just made it worse, I screamed that I hated everything, actually stamped my foot , he made a hasty retreat and said he was going out for a fry up, and I kicked his trainers around the room because he can’t ever fucking put them away and blasted System of a Down.

It’s a proper full on teenage rage tantrum.

(This is lighthearted and DH is not trapped in an abusive marriage and will enjoy fry up until I’m calm enough for him to return)

Make me feel better. Have you ever had a proper tantrum as an adult? (Is ‘throwing a wobbly’ an offensive term these days?!)

Hmm I wouldn't class 32 weeks as particularly heavily pregnant. I think you should apologise. I hope he enjoys his fry up and you calm down.

There's always one isn't there? You don't get to dictate how other people feel at 32 weeks pregnant. By 32 weeks I'd been through so much physically it's left me traumatized.

By 32 weeks pregnant another friend had given birth.

So FO

Sort of- As an adult I have had Aspergers meltdowns. They’re rare now so I can’t always tell what triggered them or when they’re coming and they are always stupid and embarrassing and I don’t always remember the details of them.
