rookie Posted May 19, 2010 Share Posted May 19, 2010 If I knew how to set up a poll, I would: a. I am in final weeks of pregnancy. b. I am on bedrest and stir-crazy. c. I am completely sick of homeschooling (permanent condition). d. I am completely sick of homeschooling (normal, end of year, passing feeling). e. My family is too noisy (they all talk incessantly and over each other or hum and whistle to fill in the occasional , precious moment of soundlessness). f. It is hot and humid and my family smells bad when they come in from the outdoors. g. It is mosquito season and my family forgets to close the doors leaving me - the bedridden mom - as the primary target of the mosquitoes. h. No one listens until I raise my voice and then they all get upset when I do raise my voice. i. They all think that they are funny and spend their day making jokes - mostly at each other's or my expense - and I seem to have lost my sense of humor (or, they just really are not funny). j. They make a mess and do not see the mess unless I point out the mess. k. No one moves as fast as I would like them to. l. All of the above. m. Other - you tell me what you think my problem is. :001_smile::glare::tongue_smilie: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dandelion Posted May 19, 2010 Share Posted May 19, 2010 Another vote for "L"... Hope things get better soon!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laurad1125 Posted May 19, 2010 Share Posted May 19, 2010 I vote L, but with heavy emphasis on A, B, and D. Here's a story that may brighten your day. My mom and dad divorced about 5 years before I got pregnant with my oldest. During my pregnancy, my mom started dating a man, H. While I was still in the hospital recovering from my c-section, he tells her, "She's an entirely different person!" (and he means it in a good way..... :glare: Pregnancy and bed rest are hard, sometimes. Hang in there and try not to kill anyone until at least 6 weeks AFTER the baby comes....:grouphug: I say if they still bug you then, let 'em have it. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MariannNOVA Posted May 20, 2010 Share Posted May 20, 2010 "L" It's difficult - I've been there. My MIL would walk into my bedroom at about 4:45pm and hand me a folder full of take out menus and ask: "What do you want for dinner?" :glare: I had a very large freezer stocked with months worth of meals, but she refused to acknowledge that those meals were there. It will be over soon - hang in there. (I have 'more' funny stories if you need a laugh ;)) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
West Coast Mom Posted May 20, 2010 Share Posted May 20, 2010 "L" Oh, I am right there with you! I am due in 4 weeks and I have turned into a monster! As much as I hate hospitals, I am looking forward to my 3 day respite (post c-section) where I will have only one little person demanding my 24 hour attention. Hang in there! You are not alone!

happyhomemaker25 Posted May 20, 2010 Share Posted May 20, 2010 I too am in the last month of pregnancy, though not on bedrest. It seems my family gets louder and more annoying everyday. LOL Hang in there mama! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kathleen in VA Posted May 20, 2010 Share Posted May 20, 2010 Are you on terbutaline? You could be experiencing side effects from it if you are. I was on bed rest and terbutaline with Ds13 and was a complete basket case. It's awful stuff. terbutaline Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dawn in OH Posted May 20, 2010 Share Posted May 20, 2010 I'm not even pregnant anymore and the following all apply to me: D, E, F, H, J, and K The last few weeks of pregnancy are pretty unpleasant, I can't even imagine being on bed rest. Hang in there. It will get better. :grouphug: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stormy weather Posted May 20, 2010 Share Posted May 20, 2010 I'm going to go with e,h and k. Oh, wait... you were asking why you can't stand your family right now, not me:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rookie Posted May 20, 2010 Author Share Posted May 20, 2010 Are you on terbutaline? You could be experiencing side effects from it if you are. I was on bed rest and terbutaline with Ds13 and was a complete basket case. It's awful stuff. terbutaline I am not on terbutaline. I am on bedrest for a separated pubic bone. Bedrest is a quiet form of torture. (Yes, I am being a little dramatic but I am really unhappy with both the excruciating pain and the boredom/lethargy of bedrest.)

momof2girls Posted May 20, 2010 Share Posted May 20, 2010 My baby is 6 months old next week so I understand: L, but mostly A, B, and D for me it is D, E, H, I, J, K It won't be this way forever! :grouphug: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JWSJ Posted May 20, 2010 Share Posted May 20, 2010 Well, except for the prego thing, it sounds like you live at my house. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tam101 Posted May 20, 2010 Share Posted May 20, 2010 I'd say all of the above, except for "c". Most likely isn't a permanent condition. Get some rest and tell them to take the noise and mess out of your room for an afternoon. Or until the baby is born!! :tongue_smilie: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hsmom2girls Posted May 20, 2010 Share Posted May 20, 2010 Probably A is the main trigger. I'm not pregnant but I sometimes can't stand my family and it's because of "E" they are too noisy. I love quiteness but no one else seems to. :( Hope things get better for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MamaT Posted May 20, 2010 Share Posted May 20, 2010 All of the above except C, mostly A! From someone who has been on bed rest, it WILL end and you will be yourself once more. Your family will morph back into people you enjoy. :001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leanna Tomlinson Posted May 20, 2010 Share Posted May 20, 2010 I am not on terbutaline. I am on bedrest for a separated pubic bone. Bedrest is a quiet form of torture. (Yes, I am being a little dramatic but I am really unhappy with both the excruciating pain and the boredom/lethargy of bedrest.) Oh Rookie! :grouphug: BTDT - separated bone and all. Remember this thread? http://www.welltrainedmind.com/forums/showthread.php?t=175496 I wasn't completely on bedrest with my 5th, but was majorly restricted just by the pain. He did come fast though.:) Also, I found HUGE relief from the pubic bone pain by soaking in a hot bath every morning. I just had to make sure I had someone to help me out of the tub. Everything you mentioned in your poll is BECAUSE of A. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lollie010 Posted May 20, 2010 Share Posted May 20, 2010 HMMM...except being pregnant and on bed rest I experienced all other symptoms yesterday afternoon around 3:15. But, I was able to walk away from it when my dh got home. Sorry. Hope you get to feeling better soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purpledaizy Posted May 20, 2010 Share Posted May 20, 2010 I'm wishing you a speedy end to all misery! However, I am totally with you on J and K. They make me want to scream!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kathleen in VA Posted May 20, 2010 Share Posted May 20, 2010 I am not on terbutaline. I am on bedrest for a separated pubic bone. Bedrest is a quiet form of torture. (Yes, I am being a little dramatic but I am really unhappy with both the excruciating pain and the boredom/lethargy of bedrest.) That's good news and bad news. I'm very glad you're not being tortured by terbutaline on top of everything else, but I'm very sorry you are in so much pain. Time passes very slowly when you are in pain.:( Like everyone else said, hang in there - it will come to an end.:grouphug: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
