Blubbing, emotional wreck. Come and share...

[RightUpMyRue]

I cried when a girl at DD's netball match fell over and hurt her knee because she was brave, held back her tears and soldiered on.

I cried when I heard on the radio that Britain's oldest woman had only ever been in love once but he went to war and died and she never loved again.

I cried at work when giving advice to an HV about one of her mothers giving up breastfeeding because this would be her last baby and therefore the last breastfeed she would ever give.

I'm not usually and ice queen but I tend to save tears for things really matter. At 24 weeks PG however, it seems I will cry at the drop of hat (poor hat )

What daft things have made you blub?

glad its not just me feeling terribly emotional.
Last night I missed my bus. It really wasn't a problem as I only had to wait 30 mins for my husband to finish his piano lesson and we could go home together but I sobbed solidly cried for 15 minutes.

15 minutes of tears for a missed bus is perfectly unreasonable

I cry at tv adverts, at dh bringing me flowers for my bedroom because I seem to spend most of my life their or in the bathroom chundering. I cried at my dc nativity play. I cry when I get to go to bed simply because of the sure relief.

I basically just cry

I've posted my previous emotional meltdowns on other threads when I was earlier in pregnancy and particularly emotional (ie crying in Sainsburys because there wasn't any coronation chicken in the salad bar....) but today's particularly bad one was that the local radio played Santa calling a kid who'd been particularly good this year...omg the waterworks...

Coronation chicken tears

When I was pg DP put his t-shirt on back to front and inside out. I laughed and laughed. And then sobbed for 30mins as if bereaved. Poor man looked like this

When a lightbulb popped yesterday. And when the gas engineer left us with working heating that then went off again an hour later, and can't come back until Sunday, although I think that one is justified. Adverts with soppy families, people winning tv talent shows that I don't even vote on, DD actually doing what I ask her to.

Yeah, inside out t-shirts and popped light bulbs are pretty bad.

I gave DH peas with his dinner the other night, to which he remarked casually "oh I don't really fancy peas" and I cried and cried and cried. He ate his peas.

The worst one was a thing about a blind dog being given his sight back (it might have been on Russel Howards good news) and I cried for ages, and then cried again when DH got home and I told him about it.

I was listening to radio in the car on the way home the other day, and they played someone (think it was Bruno Mars) singing Silent Night in a live performance. I started singing along and within a minute I was a blubbing mess. So glad I was alone in the car and far enough from home to recover in time. I have since discovered that most traditional Christmas carols have this effect on me.

DH showed me a video on the BBC website a few days ago of a dog rearing tiger cubs alongside her own puppies. Tears, snot, hysteria. Anything with baby animals sets me off. I think he shows me these things on purpose now just to see my reaction.

Actually, just typing the phrase "a dog rearing tiger cubs alongside her own puppies" has made me feel a bit emotional.

Started watching "It's a wonderful life" earlier (what was I thinking?!). Didn't make it past the part when George (as a child) notices his boss has made a mistake with a prescription and then gets clipped round the ears until his sore ear bleeds . I was properly wailing to the extent DH came running in, thinking I must have had terrible news

About half way through this pregnancy all I wanted to eat was jacket potatoes. I was on my lunch break at work ( I work on a huge hospital), so walked all round all the food places in and around the hospital and nowhere had any, so I just sat down and cried. Nothing however beats the first few days after giving birth, I burst into tears while watching some comedy programme! I NEVER cry, my husband was terrified! Lol

I love all of these, they're so irrational

Most of these are fairly standard for me even when I'm not pregnant!

I have been much worse though...DH says I cry at the opening of an envelope at the moment.

I was at the out of hrs Dr a couple of weeks ago and a woman had forgotten her credit card to pay for her dental treatment. I offered to pay it for her and while doing so burst into tears - she just looked so grateful.

I think I must cry 6-7 times a day: adverts, songs, news items, tv/films. Haven't cried about coronation chicken though

I cried for about 20 minutes the other day because my hubby was rubbing my pregnant belly (something I usually love) and it hurt my bellybutton. I am living in utter dread of the moment it pops out as I am a bit weird about my bellybutton, so I began sobbing at how awful it all was. My poor hubby was like

I also cried when a usually difficult child at work (I'm a nursery teacher) gave me a cuddle and told me he loved me. Oops.

I cried when my husband showed me a photo and accompanying story about a mother tiger who was depressed when her cubs both died; they wrapped some motherless piglets up in tiger fur and she is now rearing them as if they were her own. Blubbed like a baby.

Most silly is when I came home and burst into tears because hubby had done all the washing up and hoovering so I didn't have to.

I am a total wreck.
