i am so, so mean

I have to say first....this is not meant to offend ANYONE....it is just my sucky attitude at the moment....I do not look down on anyone with singletons, shoot, I have 3 of those myself


So, ok my attitude and mood have been severely lacking in the “niceness” area for quite a while now….so today DD (14) is trying anything she can to get out of the house (MIL is here) and I told her she can go out, but I am not driving her anywhere….so her friend (who is an only child – this will be important later) texts her and wants to ride their bikes to Kroger….well, normally I guess it would be ok, but the construction traffic on a main road they have to cross is awful right now, I mean really horrible since the two different ways to get on 75 are both under construction on that road….anyway, so I told her no. So her friend says….why not, do something exciting for a change, blah blah blah then wants to know if DD has gotten her homecoming dress yet…DD says no, not yet (because she has freaking guard practice/events all the time, ugh AND we have 4 other kids in this house) and the friend is like…are you serious? When are you getting it? Ok, homecoming is still 2 weeks away ya little brat…..so I say to DD…..well M’s parents have nothing better to do than to take M wherever she wants to go and do whatever she wants to do….and DDs like, well not for long (her mom is pregnant – due on Halloween) So I say…and this is the mean part……OH WHOOPEEEEE and ONE BABY…..WHOA……I LAUGH at their ONE BABY!

I have to say my MIL thought it was pretty funny, but I so wasn’t trying to be funny….I was just like whatever spoiled child…..shut up already……

P.S. This is the girl that was “missing” a couple weeks ago and her mom came to my house at 10:30 at night and wanted DD to go help her look for her? If your kid is missing, call the cops lady, don’t come get my child at 10:30pm to go out looking….come to find out she didn’t even check other friends houses before coming here…and the girl was at another one of their friends houses and was pissed because her parents told her she couldn’t go on the class trip to Germany next year….brat

Anyway, hopefully someone will see humor in my pain....I know this hormonal funk will be over once these two punkins are here, but gosh, it is feeling like I may end up killing someone (not really ) before that happens....

 

I kind of think it's funny. I remember seeing a friend who has one baby and she had the infant carrier, her pocketbook and a diaper bag. She was complaining about feeling like a pack mule. I laughed and told her when she was carrying two infant carriers, a pocketbook and a diaper bag, she could complain to me about being a pack mule.

Hang in there and don't kill anybody

 

Oh, wow! That kid does sound like a spoiled brat. No way do I think you are mean for feeling the way you do. That little girls life is gonna change when that baby gets here. She'll probably end up crying about it to your DD- at 10:30!!

You are probably SOOO right about that! the crying part I mean

 

I did think that was funny! (And I can see why your DD's friends gets on your nerves!)
But yeah, I have to admit, I catch myself feeling a little less sympathetic when people complain about the work/expense, etc., involved in caring for ONE baby! (And I also intend no disrespect to parents of singletons.)

 

I know i think to myself all the time.. "Oh it must be nice to be able to run into the store and not Have to lug out the huge double stroller.. Or bring 2.5 times more stuff. Or walk your ONE child to the school to pick up yoru other ONE child."

Sorry its getting away from me. (A little mini vent for me too.. )

I see the humor in it.. I wouldnt have said it to the woman.. But I would be thinking it!

 

"One baby...I laugh at your one baby!" LMAO!

Can I use that? Pretty please? There's a woman back in Italy that gets on my nerves...he has a 7 year old and just had a baby a few months ago and is NEEDY...she HAS to have a maid and time for naps etc because BY GOD she's got TWO kids and can't POSSIBLY be expected to do anything herself.

Yeah. I've been there. I had a 7 year old and a newborn (now 10 and 3) and didn't get crap. Get back to me when you have that AND twins.

 

Ah, dm, I think maybe I love you. LOL! This is my first set of twins, however, pregnancy wise, my DS weighed nearly 13 pounds so it was like carrying two. Which is why I roll my eyes when I see women with their one 6 lb baby going "UGH, OH, OY, MY BACK!!!" I wanna say "Lady, my kid came HOME from the HOSPITAL in size 8 month clothes!" Lol...

I have very little patience for spoiled kids too, as my DSS is completley and utterly spoiled. (His Mom has one other son who is 5, DSS is 9) and she is forever (at least once a month) hopping a plane to Ireland for a Mommy's weekend away because she is "soooooo stressed". Well, if she is it's because she does absolutley everything for the two boys. (DSS is 9, and she still wipes his bottom, gets him his juice, and washes him in the bath. Swear to God.)

GAH!

(Now I'm even more scared about taking care of two! *cries*)

 

I often think back to how easy it was when I just had my oldest DD. :lol:

 

My SIL will give birth to her singleton the same month I do. She and her DH are so secretive about everything with her pregnancy which is weird to me because I'm just such an open person. We just found out last night that they are worried because she has a dr appt next week and they're scared she will be put on bed rest due to some ptl contractions. Well, whoopty-doo! I've been on bed rest for over a month now and had to sell my business giving me no income. She will at least get FMLA/Disability. On top of that, they're whining about providing for one child, which is their first. We already have my 3 year old stepson and now the girls. Don't get me wrong, I am thrilled to be having my little bundles, but wish SIL and BIL would put it all in perspective and get a grip.

Ok, done with my rant

 

OMG, I think I LOVE ALLLLL of you, seriously.....I do.....lol I am glad some of you got your vents out too, I was hoping I wasn't the only one that was like...."ok....suck it up....it's one baby/kid already"

 

People don't know how easy they have it until they are pregnant with multiples. Almost everyone I know that has gotten pregnant after I did was terrified about having multiples, I don't know how many calls I received that said (rather happily), "No twins! Just one!" I think to myself (sarcastically) "Oh lucky you."
