I am sick and tired of...

All the people that keep telling me to kiss my freedom goodbye. I'm really starting to feel like I'm death row!

Another one I hate is "you will never sleep again"...

I'm not an idio and I know what's ahead but it's just starting to aggravate me to hear it from every single person I know!

Is it just me or does anyone else feel like this?

I remember feeling that way before I had the baby, and promising to myself that I'd never say those words to a pregnant woman.

Now that I'm on the other side I totally understand where those people were coming from. LOL. I think I was an idiot, because I had no clue how hard it would actually be to have a baby despite all that I had been told.

If the people talking are parents, just take it as a bit of jealousy. They are envying the freedom you still have and are trying to tell you to appreciate it...

Re: I am sick and tired of...

I do appreciate the freedom I still have but i'm just sick and tired of hearing it all the time!

I know what's ahead. I'm not that clueless. Everytime I mention to someone about taking a nap they are like "oh do it now while you still can" I know they mean well. But hearing every single time is starting to get to me!

I couldnt agree with you more..

Freedom..??? If I wanted to go out with my husbadn I could...BUT I choose NOT TO.... I dont want this so called "freedom" I was to be home with my baby!

As far as sleep goes.... I found the adjustment rather easy....However I had a really bad last 2 months of preg. and feel that has a lot to do with it. As much as it stinks when Ryan dosent make it through the night... I still can function...without a problem.... I think I can say I can count how many times I need to nap while he was napping on one hand!

I also couldnt stand those who said how hard it was gonna be.... Maybe its hard and Im just so blinded and overjoyed with my sons being that I just dont label it as hard in any way shape or form!


When I see a preg woman... I NEVER "warn" them about these troubles...because for me they dont exsist.... I enjoy every second I have with him....Even when Ive been up since 2 am....am about to walk out the door for work and he spits up in my hair and my work clothes! Chat Icon

I'm with you. Its so annoying- and insensitive.

However, long ago I decided to be amused with the stupid things people say rather than annoyed by it. When my dad passed away my sister and I had a runnign list of the stupid things people say. I know they didn't MEAN to be mean, but some comments were just so absurd.

Also, like Marissa says, its enjoyable. I see my sister with her 6 month old. Sometimes it is tough but that is far otuweighed by the amount of joy and happiness she gets from being a mom. She deals with the lack of sleep when it happens. I slept over last week and my neice woke up once for a few minutes and she and my sister went back to sleep (and we all overslept- of course i was the only one going to work in the morning Chat Icon ) She and DH went to Aruba and Aspen with the baby- bringing the best babysitter (grandma).


Hang in there, soon WE'LL be the ones on the other side. Then we get to hear people comment on how we raise our kids Chat Icon Chat Icon

As if you can store sleep in a bank and take it out when the baby comes as you need it.
Some people don't know what to say sometimes so they say something stupid.
I must have heard "how's married life?" the entire first year of our marriage. Then it was "so, when are you two going to have a baby?" for the next five years after that. Followed by the classic "have you looked at any houses lately?" Now its "get your sleep in now...yadda yadda yadda".
I wish Bill Engvall next to me when I run into these people so he can give them their stupid sign. Chat Icon

Just wait until you start getting "Does he sleep through the night?" "Is he a good baby?" and the unwanted advice that always follows these questions. Or long rambling memories of when their child cried all the time. I think people like to make themselves feel better by pointing out the negative, rather than the positive.

Re: I am sick and tired of...

I hear more negative comments than positives and sometimes it makes me want to ask these people "if it's so bad then why do people have kids". Well some of my friends pointed out the negatives but they also mentioned positives as well and that's fine. But if all I hear are negatives then it seems like having a kid is the worst thing in the world! Sometimes people say what they want to whether it's wanted advice or not.

And i'm sure that after this baby is born I'll be hearing "so when are you having another one. It’s like people just don’t know when to quit. When you are married it’s “when are you having a baby”, then when you have one it’s “when are you having a second one” and believe it or not, I’ve had some idiot already ask me if I’m having a second one. I was like “do you mind if I give birth to my first one first, I’m not a gumball machine” ". I try to give the bad and good side of Things when I give advice. Like to my friends that are engaged I’ll tell them “marriage life is hard, so much to adjust to but it is lots of fun too”

I guess the best way to handle these annoying people is with a sarcastic remark in return. Like when people used to ask me “when are you having a baby” I would always say “why, do you want to raise it”. Sometimes sarcasm shuts them up. LOL

DH and I have been together for 4 years (2 before we were married and 2 as husband and wife) and in these 4 years we’ve done a lot! I won’t be saying “oh I wish I went on a cruise” we did 3 of them. I won’t be saying “I wish I could have seen a play” We’ve been to so many of them. We’ve been away together so many times. We’ve had a good time and now we want to have some good times with our son. I’m already planning on going to Disney with my son, of course it will have to be when he’s oder so he can remember it. DH is already making plans for little league and going to Met games. I’m surprised he hasn’t signed him up already…LOL

While we are aware of the challenges there are also things to look forward to as well.
