I really need cheering up right now, we had windows fitted last week, they came back on monday to touch up the plaster, so had crappy curtains up till today, asked dp to put blinds back on all 4 windows (brackets are on i just cant reach up to do it as we havent a ladder) hes done 3 then gone out to play football,

I tried to put blind back up, couldnt do it as its too hard, threw blind across the room and scrumpled up the vertical strips cos i was so mad.

i then spent the next 20 minutes alone (thankfully) having a full on toddler type tantrum on my bed screaming and crying into my pillow about how "d"p is totally useless, and he doesnt try to help me 1 bit.

im usually completely rational but these hormones lately have turned me into a monster, [shocked] tell me im not alone

My DH annoyed me as we were taking a picture frame we had bought back to the shop to change it. I got so angry, saw read and smashed the picture frame on the pavement in the middle of the high street. Glass flew everywhere Blush and everyone stared. I don't know what came over me as I'm normally so calm!

Flickstar · 18/04/2012 20:45

I mean saw red of course!

I had a massive toddler tantrum on Saturday about not wanting my parents to leave (and they'd driven me a bit mad all week!). I must have made them feel so guilty and I could hear myself sounding exactly like my 2 and a half year old DD!

And when DD said 'It's alright, mummy, you can have a nice cup of tea, that'll make you feel better', it made me much worse!

Spice17 · 19/04/2012 09:53

I went totally mental at DH when he came back from watching football at about 10pm on a weeknight - he had the audacity to want to have a cup of tea and watch a bit of TV downstairs!

I struggle to sleep when he's not in bed, so it's not really even his fault, bless him but I went crazy shouting and swearing at him, saying how his life has carried on as normal and I can't f**ng sleep!

Infact most of my hormonal rants are about sleep - funny that!

bettybat · 19/04/2012 10:34

I texted DH the other night in a fit of dehydration asking for him to bring home some kind of thirst quenching substance. He came back with a big bottle of Evian, I took a massive swig, then I burst out crying saying: it's NASTY, what's WRONG with it, it tastes so BAD, why didn't you get Marks and Spencer's own brand water, waaaah waaaah!!

sunshinesue · 19/04/2012 12:19

spice if my husband reads this thread he's going to think you are me!

Spice17 · 19/04/2012 12:40

To do with the football rant Sunshine or the mentalness about getting sleep? And having to have him next to me in order to do it of course:)

sunshinesue · 19/04/2012 15:00

all of it, EXACTLY the same Grin. I think the sleep thing is that he makes so much bloody noise when he comes to bed after me I can't sleep as I'm waiting to be disturbed. AND I'm only 6 weeks so we've got a long way to go yet Grin

sunshinesue · 19/04/2012 15:01

Actually, thinking about it I'm not sure I can blame it on hormones. I think I'm just a bitch Blush

cheesymonster · 19/04/2012 18:03

I had a 10 minute crying fit in Frankie & Benny's after banging my knee on the table. DH looked horrified and the other diners must have thought I was an abused spouse.

mcsquared · 19/04/2012 18:09

I moved in with my husband at around 7 weeks and came with a lot of stuff. He made a sensible comment about there not being enough room for everything and I just started crying and yelling that there's no room for me in his life and started throwing ALL my clothes in charity bags.

I calmed down later and told him he was not to donate the bags under any circumstances until I'd removed all my nice clothes.

I did the same thing two weeks later with a load of food that sadly could not be rescued.

mcsquared · 19/04/2012 18:10

Oh I also burst into tears because I was scared my bananas might go mouldy before I could make banana bread!

EggsMichelle · 19/04/2012 20:18

No hysterical DH related incidents yet, but did have a panic at work cause I thought I had lost a patient when in fact he had gone shopping with a colleague and the colleague had told me exactly that!!!

shouldIbecrossaboutthis · 19/04/2012 20:53

I have been with DP for 3 years and he has never seen me cry, I'm not really a crier IYKWIM.

Yesterday I cried my eyes out because he went to the shop to get some Lunchables for me (you know those gross dairylea things, only think I can eat as so sick) and came back with some sort of tube things.

I was hysterical for over 30 mins Sad

luckysocks · 19/04/2012 21:18

This thread has so cheered me up.

I'm mental at the moment. I feel sick with how much I irritate myself. Everyone is driving me crazy. I'm tired but I'm manic. I'm the size of a house. And jealous and insecure. I honestly don't know how to stop being such a mope.

The other day I cried for a long time because DH doesn't really love me. I haven't actually got any tangible evidence for this but I knew I was right.

salempickles · 20/04/2012 08:42

Well done for cheering me up ladies!! spice i could of written your post word for word, im usually the 1st to go to bed here (lucky if i make it past 9), dp will stay up and watch tv or call friends etc, after the "great blind incident of wednesday night", he dared to stay up out of my way by watching tv.

i cant sleep without him next to me either even though he does end up with a thousand cushions pushing him out of the bed every time i turn, after half 10 he still hadnt come up so i came down to see what he was doing and found him lying on the couch with a blanket over him, he said he'd let me have a good nights sleep cos he knew i was having trouble. he might as well of threw a dog turd in my face and called me a moaning bitch for the way i reacted screaming and stomping.

(dont feel too bad for him, i found a little pad yesterday and in it he has been writing down things ive done or said to him, either to throw back in my face at some point in the future, or cos hes crap at remembering funny anecdotes to family and friends so has to write them down e.g. salem spilt bleach on her jeans today then cried for 20 minutes, i told her it wasnt the end of the world and she called me gay and stormed off???)

Im sure they will be funny at some point in the future Smile

Iv been an emotional wreck since having my last 2 any way but the other day before I found out I was in tears watching poohs hefalump movie now that's bad lol I just put it down to probly about to come on super heavy since iv not had af for so long but nope it's the hormones of pregnancy I'm gonna be a quivering chihuahua by the time iv finished having kids when I'm not pregnant I struggle to keep the tears away lol

jetstar · 20/04/2012 11:21

Thank goodness. I thought it was just me. I am struggling not to have tantrums at the drop of a hat and my DH can't do anything right, even when he tries to. I detest his driving (it's uncomfortable with a big bump) so we have rows in the car and I cry (but I want to thump him to make him uncomfortable too) Other meltdowns are getting a bit numerous to mention Blush How much of this can be put down to hormones? Or else I'm just an irrational looney bitch.

shellywellybaby1 · 20/04/2012 12:20

Brilliant thread ladies! At the time Of the incident it is a major trauma but afterwards you have to laugh!

This morning the roofers who are doing next doors roof knocked on and asked me to move my car, i grabbed my keys and as i stepped out side the guy that was stood on the roof shouted - bloody hell shes ready to drop!! I just smiled and said well actually i have 2 months to go so ur up shit creek if i decide to drop now! And proceeded to move my car and run back inside haha. At which point i burst into tears and rang my DP saying its officially you can see my bump from space! Haha. He then pointed Out next doors roof was hardly space! I just put the phone down on him - and burst out laughing! Eeek!

salempickles · 20/04/2012 15:20

shelly Ive just spat out my drink laughing at "you can see my bump from space".

I have 2 months left also and hate it when people comment on my bump, makes me feel massive!

This thread has really cheered me up after 6 weeks of permanent, first trimester nausea! Last time I was pregnant I remember crying for 20 minutes because there was an item on GMTV about Bob Carolgees selling off his Spit the dog puppet! Not sure if it qualifies as hormones, but in the same pregnancy also managed to book a holiday and then muddle up my dates and drag DS and DH on a three hour car journey only to discover we were a week early!

BulletProofMum · 20/04/2012 21:21

Stood at the top top of the stairs with all of DPs family downstairs stark naked screaming will someone bring me by baby. Pfb was about 5 days old. They were all drunk and I had jihad a CS. I had been spending the previous 20 min trying (and failing) to get my pants on. I still cringe!

salempickles · 20/04/2012 22:23

I stand corrected on the stupidest thing iver ever done thanks to my hormones.

tonight we were clearing out the spare rm as its getting plastered tomorrow, theres floorboards missing still from the rewire we had 2 years ago (i know lazy r us!). so im there brushing up, dp is lifting everything and i can see he is stressed so i decide to do a little dance with my brush a la dick van dyke chimney sweep stylee.

unfortunately i miscalculated my timings and ended up with 1 leg stuck through the floor where the boards are missing, breaking the ceiling below in the process that id only finished painting last week.

to make matters worse, this is the 2nd time i have fell through the ceiling in exactly the same room. i cried and cried but mostly because i sent dp for a bandage from the chemist and hes come back with some magic blue tape that sportsmen use. i swear he hates me!

i could really use a large vodka right now, but will have to make do with a glass of water and half an easter egg!
