Need a minute to vent.
I take care of my grandmother who has dementia and is on hospice. My attitude during the day sometimes gets rude but I deal with a lot and sometimes feel like it comes out when I get asked stupid questions or I get over stressed. Well I'm over getting lectured by my mother that I'm being a sh*t and it's always something with her. She went by my house "my god it's such a disaster do you do anything there?" Or " your grandfather is saying you don't do anything at his house all day. Do you just sit on your ass or sleep why can't you be more productive?" I'm already overwhelmed battling the feeling of I'm fat and ugly when I know it's not true I'm growing a child. But I had issues before with this and my depression and my doctor made me stop my medications so I feel like all of it is side effects from that but I'm at a breaking point like wanting to literally break all my stuff in my house and light it on fire point from hearing I keep messing up. I just don't know what to do anymore and when I get these lectures I shut down....
Sorry for long post I just needed to let it out somewhere.
Been there and felt that way in life before . You're fine . You don't have to feel like this or ....let anyone else make you feel this way either . It's time to say to hell with feeling like a screw up ... because you're not here to please people . Try to take it easy on your/body because you're carrying a little one . That may be your Family but that gives them no right to make you feel that way . Do your best you can to ignore them and not worry about anything they say because it's just words . Please don't burn down anything !!!!! I know it seems like the most amazing fun ever! But you don't need destruction. Just relaxation. So forget about all the bullshit problems , put your feet up , drink some herbal tea or hot chocolate....watch your favorite movie and eat some delicious food for you and the baby and chill out.
Yesterday I went out with my boyfriend went to watch a movie, me and him don't live together yet. but point is yesterday when he was dropping me off his like sleep over at my house witch the mom and dad lives. I said no,
his response was why is everyone deciding or making choices for you and their going to do the same with the baby, when I know that's not true. what he thinks is that my mom tells me not to sleep over. So he left all mad. and I felt in my heart that he went on and cheated on me...

Birth Plan Rant
I used to be all about getting an epidural, but after research and thinking about it more I want to have an unmedicated birth (this is my first baby). What annoys me is when I say that I'm going to TRY my hardest to have a natural and unmedicated birth people always feel the need to say that I'm crazy or that I'm going to change my mind when I get in that position. Or that epidurals are the best. I do realize that plans change, but why can't people be supportive and encouraging?
Locking your doors
We are having a discussion on one of my birth boards from my older kids about locking doors and security alarms. There are many of us (me included) who do not lock our doors at home (I actually don't even have a deadbolt on my house and we don't lock it when we leave either), and others who think that's totally weird. So what do you do? Do you lock your doors? Do you think it's weird that people don't?
My doctor also recommended me getting the flu shot while pregnant ? I'm not sure if I want to or if i should ? It's all scary to me !! What do you ladies think ? Did you get the flu shot while pregnant ? Are there any risks? Or should I wait ? I'm so scared of taking anything while pregnant , much less getting this shot.. He said it isn't mandatory , just recommended.
I know how you feel it is overwhelming. my grandfather has Alzheimer and dementia. and is also on hospice it's hard
