Scampynoodle · 06/11/2007 12:44

i was just wondering if i should come on to have a moan about grumpiness. I am a complete cow and get p*ssed off at everything. it is making working a nightmare

Sarahjct · 06/11/2007 13:30

The worst thing about it is, everyone else can tell you to get lost and leave the room if it gets too much - you're stuck with your grumpiness and there's nothing you can do about it except let it drag you into a big murky swampy hole of misery...which is where I am posting this message from! Every time I think I can't possible get more miserable, bingo!

daisynova · 06/11/2007 16:44

Yup I am a grumpy cow all the time. Visited a friend at lunchtime today and spent the whole hour moaning. And despite knowing that I am doing it, I can't help myself. Work is the worst place for it too as no-one there really sympathises at all - they hate me there!

My poor husband is ready to divorce me!

I just wondered whether or not I have depression with how badly grumpy I have been.

chunkypudding · 06/11/2007 17:31

Okay I can feel a major moan coming on....

Bought a new house, having building work done, whole place is a building site.

also having damp treated in the flat we're living in now so that we can sell it as soon as poss, as currently paying 2 mortgages so our kitchen is ripped out and our flat full of dust/rubble.

Have a streaming cold, ache all over and had fever last night, have to be at work due to having nowhere else to go (btw also run the company but today have just sat at my desk and snivelled/sneezed...)

oh, and am nearly 32 weeks pg with 1st baby, have low iron and felt like shit before I even got this evil bastard cold thing. AND I now have a coldsore RIGHT UNDERNEATH my nose... have never felt so incredibly attractive, even v sweet dp struggling to reassure me that he can see beyond the giant snotty scabby blimp...

and I'm not sure when I'm actually starting maternity leave. Not that I'd have anywhere to go at the mo anyway unless I really wanted to hang out in rubble...

so yes, you could say I'm a teeny bit grumpy!!!

Thanks for the place to rant though ladies, have to say it helps sometimes

daisynova · 07/11/2007 16:47

Awww Chunkypuddings - you really do deserve to be grumpy. I would have booked myself into a hotel by now!

I am in the process of trying to move out of a damp apartment into a nice new apartment but current landlady being a witch. Was also in the middle of buying a house in the UK (I live in Amsterdam just now) but eventually had to pull out due to the seller being an ass.

Also have the stress of hating my job and colleagues with a passion, missing my friends and family and just generally feeling rotten with my pregnancy.

Shall we start a "Woe is me" corner???

Big hugs honey x

chunkypudding · 07/11/2007 17:04

yay! definitely!

God I was worried that my grump was so severe that everyone had run away, it all went a bit quiet after my rant

Sorry you're feeling a bit lonely, must be tough, especially if you're feeling rotten...

woe is us!!!

it will all get better soon though I'm sure

how long have you got to go? I'm 32 weeks tomorrow (aaaarrrgh!!!!)

big hugs back atcha hon xx

macdoodle · 07/11/2007 17:06

33 weeks here today and very grumpy as well sooo tired can barely sit up and have 2 six year olds to feed and get to rainbows for 5:45

lightwind · 08/11/2007 07:49

Oh very very grumpy here as well.

25+5 weeks pregnant with my first, 40 yrs old and feeling very woebegone indeedy.

Got a horrible racking cough and chest infection, and carpal tunnel syndrome and everytime I cough the blasted carpal tunnel nerves get jangled and really hurt. And everytime I try to speak I start coughing again so can't even have a mighty rant on the phone. Can't have anyone to visit as I'm coughing up nasty stuff and probably infectious so getting v lonely and feeling miserable. Feeling weak and desperately want to sleep, but when I lie down I start coughing painfully. And coughing makes me want to wee all the time (even more than the usual pregnancy wee-fest)

And I really hate inhalation (but am trying to be good and do it) and also dislike the taste of hot water with lemon and honey.

And I'm on antibiotics and they make me feel sick as well.

Oh joy.

Oh, and dh is going out tonight - important work dinner which he can't miss. So I've got to get through the day as well as the evening on my lonely silent ownsome. He's been lovely so I really really need him right now. But am trying to be grown up and let him go. Also I'm such lousy company right now - I've nothing interesting to say, anything I do say is punctuated by my vile-sounding cough, moans and/or updates on latest symptoms and even I wouldn't want to spend time with me, so figure he needs a night off.

And I feel seriously ungainly - I walk like a tellytubby and look like a blimp. And I really want to hold my baby and already love it loads and wouldn't give up being pregnany for the world... but still feel pretty low today...

Boo hoo.

update on my grumpiness

the builders (luckily one of them is my dad bless him) working on our new house that WE STILL HAVEN'T MOVED INTO have just discovered dry rot. In a beam in the wall... and possibly the roof.

And we still have no kitchen in the flat that we're still stuck living in. Have almost cleaned up the dust from that round of building work though.

And I can't sleep cos of acid indigestion followed by horrid dreams mostly about dp leaving me

My cold is better though!

DaisyNova, how are you? Landlady still evil? any sign of escape from flat yet? x

chunkypudding · 13/11/2007 17:03

and I keep thinking I'm going to lamp someone in the supermarket - think my hormones have gone mental, am usually fairly mellow but am truly a grouchy bitch at the mo. dp very confused that he is suddenly living with a psycho

SHEENA1 · 13/11/2007 17:17

I am on pregnancy #2 and my wee girl is 20 months all i seam to do is cry and have a go about silly we things my partner is great very patient i wasn't like this with my daughter but this toime its a boy do you think its a boy thing lol

snooks · 13/11/2007 17:40

At least some of you ladies have good reason to be grumpy! When I'm pg I'm a psychobitch from hell - EVERYTHING my poor DH does irritates me. I'm 15 weeks with no.3, when we discussed having a third, topic of conversation wasn't "can we afford it" & "oh god even more sleepless nights" etc, it was whether he could put up with my totally irrational grumpy moods for 9 months. I don't know what comes over me - it's strange that this grumpiness comes over you at a time when you especially don't want to alienate your partner...

missvicki · 13/11/2007 17:40

I'm 16 weeks with my first baby, have to admit i've not been getting grumpy but i am finding i can't control my emotions!

I'm quite an emotional person any way but it's twice as bad at the min, seem to cry at anything and everything!! Partner thinks constantly that he's upset me because i cry with him just asking if i'm okay or do i want a cup of tea, it's so silly!

ruva · 20/11/2007 15:31

Hi ladies,
Was really nasty to my dp yestereday told him that i will never shag him ever again as this pregnancy is not blooming but crippling- i have a low placenta i feel like iam carrying my baby in my knees, i am 27 weeks on thursday i have been advised not to shag-so which means i will be doing it in six months time. rant! rant!-poor hubby had come in from work drenched like a rat and i am being such a cow!
Apologised this morning and hubby said lets have a baby every year!

micegg · 20/11/2007 15:34

I am always grumpy

daisynova · 20/11/2007 17:10

Chunky - Landlady is still being an absolute cow - she has now decided to take her time to write a letter confirming that we can get out of our contract which means hubbies company can't sign contract for lovely new house that we have found. New landlady threatening to pull out now and I just feel like crying. I honestly have considered putting my head in the oven!

How's the house going?

Ruva - I have said something similar to my husband quite a few times!!! I think it is starting to sink in with him now!

I'm 21 weeks tomorrow - roll on 38 weeks when I will be induced. I want my nice smiley persona back!
