Having one of those days - (This is a feeling sorry for myself issue)

[malinki]

Is it just me, or do some of you ladies go looking for a fight with your DH/DP. My DH and I very rarely fight, if we do it is always over someone or something else. Well yesterday was one of those days, I was bored, DD and DH sat quietly watching F1 on ITV and blast, I don't know what happened but I wanted to talk, DD started playing up, DH went upstairs to watch the TV in the bedroom and I was totally out of order and tired. DH came back down after I spent nearly 2 hours in the kitchen cooking dinner and he just said a couple of words to me and that was it, full pelting row, finger pointing and door slaming. He slept in 1 room, me in another and his dinner in the bin. I think because we do not row, when we do, we really go for it. DD (aged nearly 4) kept saying, daddy's real mad at you mummy. DH is going away next weekend with his DF to watch the Grand Prix at Silverstone and I am taking my DD away to my parents (they live on the coast), my DS and her DD are joining us, as I very rarely see them, nor does my DM & DF.
Today, I feel a horrible person, I've text my DH and said sorry, but nothing back. I had to speak with the hospital this morning, as I was going for IVF, but it seems that the hospital wasnt to see me again on 22/07/04. I feel in such a rage and I don't know why.

Oh God yes we've all done the pickng and niggling until a row explodes just to change the dynamic. Doesn't mean you are a bad person.

Come and sit on the sofa and have a hot chocolate and some biscuits. The other MNers will be here to join you in a while and comiserate/empathise.

Bottom line: wife and mother=hardest job in the world (most of the time)

malinki don't worry, I think there's something in the air, everyone seems miserable and to have had difficult weekends with annoying dp/dhs.

Also I believe IVF v v stressful so added pressure doesn't help. xx

Also, are you stressed about the IVF? This could cause a lot of tension too.

I am a 'delight' to live with at the moment as I am PG and my hormones seem to have settled down and I dont go picking fights with DH. In normal, non-PG life I can be EVIL and I hate it as I can be such a cow to live with. I have promised DH I will sort my hormones out once the baby is born.

You are certainly not alone! All weekend I've found myself making sarky remarks and generally being a petulant 12 yrs old - just to my DH!

No reason and no excuse but what can you do, we are female and it comes with the territory!

Feeling tons better, DH took me and DD to the pub last night and he basically said, he knew I was worrying about IVF and PCOS and and and, he loves me to bits and married everything, hormones, spots, stupid ovaries and everything like that, but he hates playing second fiddle to my hormones, he said I'm like something possessed and that he is going to call me a devil when he thinks I'm going to kick off, so for now he forgives me , wonder if i'll get away with murder only joking, thanks for all your replies, you guys really make me laugh sometimes.
