The Complaint Department

A little ranting…a little raving.

First of all, the constant state of nausea that occurs upon waking and lasts until 5:30 ish pm, and only stops long enough for me to think about supper and what to feed the crew. By the time supper is ready to eat, I am nauseas again..bleh. That’s fine though, I feel confident that the rations that are currently stored in my body will provide ample nutrients for this growing baby. I don’t mind being nauseas, I don’t mind being tired and cranky. I don’t mind tossing and turning all night because I can’t get comfortable ( though, I don’t quite understand why I can’t get comfortable.)

What I DO mind however, are the mindless rude remarks that people feel the need to say to someone who is pregnant..again. Let me first explain exactly what I mean by “mindless rude remarks.” These are not the remarks of concern that might come from a mom who already has three or more children, or one or two for that matter. It is the remarks that are meant to lecture and “open up your eyes” that turn into the remarks that seem to piss me off the most. The ones where people are assuming they already know about your situation and feel the need to butt in. Why? Why would you question someone who is pregnant about being pregnant? What do you really hope to accomplish by such a question? Do you expect me to say, “Well, shoot! I never even thought about NOT getting pregnant. You have changed my mind! I decide to NOT be pregnant anymore!!!” ? What the H E double hockey sticks are you expecting to accomplish?
