Okay in last 24 hours I have been crying at everything including:

Gavin and stacey- his low sperm count.

My christmas party last night- a supply teacher had come along (very brave) and nobody was really talking to him so he looked lonely.

Getting home from Christmas party feeling a bit rubbish (was also my leaving do as am on mat leave now) to find DH in bed asleep and he had put all my bed stuff in spare room so I wouldn't disturb him- I was back at 10.30 (!) so I cried because I wanted a cuddle and felt sad about leaving work.

And now currently sat sobbing my eyes out because found out my mate from worked shagged the hottest most yummy staff member at our school (who we all lust after- but obv being happily married is a harmless crush) so now crying because I feel old and married and babified (am pretty much first one of my friends to have a baby) and I am missing the drunken shagging fun of christmas. And yes I know this is really stupid and irrational but I can't seem to stop crying! Help!

Houses with nice Christmas lights up - It always sets me off and fireworks!!

Going to see Twelve Monkeys. I was convinced DH looked like Bruce Willis and he had a hard time in the film. BTW he doesn't look like Bruce Willis (thank god)

I cried because the man in front of me put his briefcase on the conveyor belt in Waitrose so I couldn't unload my basket. I didn't even look pregnant at the time - just like a total loon

Mainly the TV at the moment. Last week I cried at Fred Clause, the x-factor and the last series of ER that I had sky plussed- all on the same day! Am 15 wks with dc4

truthisinthewine · 19/12/2009 19:17

I sat on my bathroom floor curled up in a little ball doing huge gulping sobs for about half an hour because DP forgot about his dental appointment and they wouldn't let us re-book until he had been and paid a £10 fine.

We weren't exactly rolling in money at the time but with 2 full time wages coming in it wasn't a complete disaster!

I'm sure there were many many more occasions as well as this one.

cyteen · 19/12/2009 19:22

Am pmsl at all of these, especially 'Did the potatoes look lonely?' and oopsacoconut wailing outside McDonalds

However, I'm also welling up a little bit and I'm not even pregnant I must be soft ill.

BosomForAPillow · 19/12/2009 19:26

I cried most days of my pregnancy. Especially good one was Deal Or No Deal - the lady was greedy brave and went home with next to nothing - I was bawling.

nannynobnobs · 19/12/2009 19:34

I cry at the drop of a hat and I have not been pg for 3 years! I was crying with laughter then at the lonely potatoes
I cried at Zombieland when I realised the 'lost puppy' was really Woody Harrelsons little son the rest of the film is very funny but that bit made me crumble like a soggy
And yes I always get emotional at the end of Elf too!

MumNWLondon · 19/12/2009 19:37

read hetty feathers (by jacqueline wilson), bought as xmas present as xmas present for DN (age 10) cried the whole way through, even posted on the childrens book board asking whether others thought it suitable for 10 yo girl!

comefollowthatstarwithme · 19/12/2009 19:44

I sobbed for ages last year when the MN layout changed and I couldn't get used to the new layout.
DP was like this .

Thandeka · 19/12/2009 19:52

these are defo helping- cheers guys- but still sobbing- as DH has fucked off with his friends to the circus and only just told me and I have been on my own all day so am being furious with him (and ranting on AIBU about it).

i am 5wks pg with 2nd baby, no tears yet this time, however i vividly remember last time i bought myself a cream cake from the little bakery in our village as a treat, walked home with bag of shopping, dog on lead and cumbersome parcel for bloke under arm. dog kept pulling on lead, was nearly dropping parcel and by the time i goit home cream cake was bashed all over rest of shopping in bag. was ok until i scooped it out to throw in bin, missed and got cake all over walls, oven, bin, everywhere. then i sat on the kitchen floor and sobbed for about an hour. poor dog whining the whole time wondering what the hell was up with me lol! looking back it is hilarious, but at the time it was the worst thing ever!

merryxmasfellowbumps · 20/12/2009 09:26

hurrydownthechimneytonight · 20/12/2009 09:42

I sobbed my heart out when hubbie made me bangers and mash with gravy and the mash was the best mash I had ever ever tasted!

Ceasnake · 20/12/2009 09:43

I must be a freak because I haven't cried at anything strange during this pregnancy (or indeed, cried at all).

Aha! Yes I have - I cried at Small Island too but the bit where poor Gilbert had had the most awful day with racist abuse etc and was sat on the cold park bench and the nice old lady gave him a cough sweet.

Maybe I'm not a freak after all.

blondiep14 · 20/12/2009 10:01

I am really soft and would cry at most of these things anyway (I actually dread public events like DS's 1st Birthday and weddings because everyone always looks at me knowing I will blub!).
Am 37 weeks pregnant with DC2 and yesterday managed to cry thru a carol service...we have another to go to later. I shall be sitting at the back!

Ozziegirly · 20/12/2009 10:23

I have posted elsewhere about my lack of pregnancy symptoms, but maybe I do have symptoms as I only found out I was pregnant last wednesday and already I have;

  1. cried when DH brought me flowers
  2. cried when he said "come here and let me give both of you a hug"
  3. cried when he said "I can't believe I am responsible for a whole new human life" with a massive grin on his face
  4. cried when I put the Christmas tree up

Not big sobs, just welling up all the time.

Oh dear.

Orangesarenottheonlyfruit · 20/12/2009 11:13

I have cried pretty much every evening this week. We've recently moved house and it's not really finished being done up so we are living in a building site. I keep crying about the strangest things.

In fact it's got so bad that one of DH's friends asked him (not knowing I could hear) "has she stopped crying yet?"
DH "God, no..."
I was so embarrassed, I had a little cry !

trellism · 20/12/2009 11:57

I burst into tears at the cinema because Vanessa Hudgens is so pretty.

I wasn't watching HSM, I was set off by a poster.

Thandeka · 20/12/2009 13:47

I cried this morning because I couldn't get off the sofa!

I cried yesterday as it started to snow and there was a lovely scene of Christmas tree and lights with dd aged 2.2 doing a dance of joy and asking to go outside and build a snowman. She's never seen it snow before as we live in Plymouth and it rarely does.

I nearly cried again when I took her for a walk outside and she kept lying down on the pavement and I had to drag her home.

peppapighastakenovermylife · 20/12/2009 14:41

ghoulsarealoud me too . I spent hours there with the DC's when they were little.

pigleychez · 20/12/2009 17:31

Not really stupid and probably justified crying but not helped by hormones- Unpacking our lovely new fireplace to find it all broken in one corner Upset as we were finally going to finish the decorating in the front room but now will still have our unfinished room for xmas

Even more tears when they told us as we didnt check for damage straight away and inform them within 48hours that we would have to buy a new one and that it would cost us another £300!

lowrib · 20/12/2009 18:21

Really sorry to break it to you, but there is no hope now - it doesn't stop with the end of pregnancy! Since I had my lovely DS a year ago, my mind has gone to mush! I cry at all sorts of things I never did before.

I can't read Baby Brains without welling up for example - and it's not even meant to be a sad book - it's quite funny actually.

It's the bit where he find himself in space - space is so big, and he is so small, and all of a sudden he wants his mummy! I can't read that without crying Seriously - what's happened to me?!
