I need a "crying at silly things" thread

[blackcurrants]

Well, this is my second pregnancy and I was always in floods of tears the last time, sometimes just because my sandwich was so delicious or my dog looked especially adorable .

This time around I'm only at 9 weeks and haven't told a lot of people yet, but I feel SUPER pregnant this afternoon because I have just had a three-hanky-blubfest after watching this little video.

The people just looked so happy! The music came out of nowhere like magic!

[wails]

Tell me all the daft things that have made you sob, make me feel less silly! :)

Oh golly you daft bunch

I did cry a little, teeny bit today in a rural petrol station, having got down to approximately ONE mile of petrol left in the tank on the way home from picking up what I thought would be a beautiful cot bed, with a mattress stuffed behing my head, almost unable to drive and then I come out of the little shop after paying, and this elderly WANKER (sorry, his wife looked concerned and sane) had pulled up at the pump in front of me, FACING my car so neither of us could get out! and he kept smiling at me as I sat there, looking deadly, while he filled up his car and wandered in to pay.

I mean FFS what is an extra ten minutes to a complete stranger who has NEVER DONE anything to him.

I just felt like the world was against me
I think I have reason

Oh and the mattress has got Metal pieces sticking out through the material!

Planet Earth Live. Baby animals who 'might or might not make it'? Enough said...I was secretly wiping away tears hoping DP wouldn't see and think I'm insane - he'd already come home and found me wailing to no-one in the dark earlier that day...

I cried yesterday because two soldiers in uniform were collecting for Help for Heroes in a foyer of a garden centre..... to clarify my brother is in Afghanistan and has lost two of his regiment :( :( :( :(

that's not a silly thing mango :(

i just welled up at seeing that Ronnie won the world championship.
I was upset the other day that I just didn't want to watch the snooker (unheard of!)

DD is 21 weeks old

I cried a little bit on Sunday morning because there was a choir singing Morning has Broken in the town square, and it was sunny.

Aw Mango that's not silly at all. My DP was in Iraq so I know how hard it is. Thinking of you, he'll be fine.

Aww, some of you are crying at totally unsilly things, and it makes perfect sense! And some of you are crying because the world is a little but more moving than previously, and that's ok too. This is a weeper-accepting thread. All are welcome. All may sob.

[passes round the hankies]

Today I have been dry-eyed. And trying not to vomit. I'm sure something will set me off soon enough, mind! :)

Thanks CupOfBrownJoy - you've made me feel better. Sorry for not knowing what it's really like! It makes sense though now you say it and to be fair, the kid wasn't upset or anything.

I threw a complete toddler tantrum because I couldn't find my favourite strapless bra on Sunday b4 work! The whole world was against me clearly! I have others but none fit so well and don't give me 4 boobs! Knowing my feather brain I ought to give up looking in the obvious places and look in the freezer or toy cupboard! (off to do that now!)

Okay, I have got to nearly 10am with dry eyes. Had a touch-and-go moment with DS this morning who is getting his last molars and wanting to nurse, but I am desperate to wean him because its so sore. We have a 'bedtime only' rule here now, but he was asking so plaintively and I got weepy thinking about how he isnt my little baby any more.

Of course, at nearly 2 years and 32lbs he hasnt been little for a looong time, but when I look at him I dont notice how grown up he is. Where did the time go? [wails]

I love those kind of flash mobs!! Have you seen the one at Antwerp Central Station? Gets me every time.....

PS

I cry during that sodding B&Q advert! I think it's the song that does it but I get so emotional when it's on.

I also cried when I was missing an ingredient for banana bread and wouldn't be able to make it before my bananas went mouldy.

good luck after the birth finding any clothes that fit you in the "box that you've put away until after the birth"

am technically back to my pre-pg size, but my hips have moved, so nothing is the right shape any more.
tears every single morning.

This thread is BRILLIANT! I haven't been too bad emotions-wise. I cried less than the bride (one of my best friends) at her wedding at the weekend, so feeling pretty hardcore right now
I did, however, cry uncontrollably at the Foxes live programme where they showed the baby foxes dying. This was after having seen it advertised and asking why anyone would ever want to film dirty, mangy foxes!
I also put on Great Ormond Street last night. 30 seconds in, my husband said "Are you joking? Do you want to cry your eyes out?" To which I hastily dried my eyes and turned it over

When I was pregnant I sobbed my way through One man and his dog

DH thinks it's very funny (and in fairness, it is!) but he's taken to trying to make me cry over daft things, just to see if it will work. "Look, Currants, it's minute rice. You can have rice in JUST ONE MINUTE! Wouldn't that be so lovely, if you were tired and hungry at the end of the day? Doesn't that sound wonderful?"

And then I use the power of my pregnancy hormones to glower at him. But it is funny.

Just had dewy eyes over Obama finally admitting that he personally supports gay marriage. Now if DS is gay I can sob at his wedding one day!

His wedding! He'll be so grown up! [sobs more]

Also, hello IC - that was such a lovely video! All those happy dancing children!
[sniffle]

Thankyou Nickel for reminding me to wear ALL my super skinny clothes NOW, (having just bought a gorgeous, but nowhere-to-wear-it to frock in the topshop sale - typical - I already have a bump at 4+4.)

I weep weekly at Glee because they're all off to college

After I gave birth to Ds1 I cried because my dressing gown wouldn't tie up the right way.

I cry at anything BGT / Xfactor... Jonathan and charlotte made me inconsolable the other night, so did the welsh choir..... Remember whailing hysterically when Diana got voted off a few years ago and Eoghan ran on stage.... I was heavily pg with DS1 and DH thought I was in labour...(wells up at the memory... Now just as pg with DC3)

I cry at, quite literally, nothing.

The other night, sat having tea, I said to DH "I'm going to cry now"

Him "Er, why?"

Me: "I dunno, I just can't he-el-el-elp it boo hooooo"

Fellow uncontrolled weeper here. I cannot see the advert for 24 Hours In A&E with the little girl crying about how much her leg hurts. And then, gulp, her dad, sob, tells her how daddy always looks after her. Cue uncontrolled crying from me. I KNOW she's fine, I KNOW it's lovely that her daddy is there but OMG, I just can't bear it.

24 weeks pg with DC2.

I cried at the advert with the man about to throw the dog's rabbit toy away, and that "Friends" song comes on (not the Friends theme but a song about friends), and then they show a montage of all the dog and rabbit gets up to...

I don't even know what the advert is for, so yay - advertising fail! - but I sob uncontrollably when it comes on.
