You know what frustrates me the most right now? When people blame me being sad or upset on "hormones". When really? If they think about it? Chances are I would still be pissed off or upset if whatever it was had happened BEFORE I had gotten pregnant. I think part of it also is that I have no friggin' filter on my mouth whatsoever. So when those certain people say something to me and I react honestly, it confuses them. ESPECIALLY if my initial reaction is to cry. "It's just Jacquie's hormones." Big fat hairy fuck you comes to mind. If people would stop and think about WHY my reaction was to cry or be pissed maybe they'd find something to MY side? Hm? Ya know what I am pregnant. I DO have emotions, fuck, even when I'm not knocked up I'm emotional. My hormones are just a weak ass excuse as to why I'm pissed off to begin with. God help the next person I find out has blamed shit on my hormones. I'm sure those people who haven't been knocked up in many years are blaming my hormones. For those of you that are? Kiss my ass! LOL.
That felt good. Thanks for letting me vent. Ahh. The funny thing is? Is that if people who have had a pregnancy recently or those that really remember being pregnant would also remember that this is the ONE part of my pregnancy (the 2nd trimester) where my hormones don't really come into play!! So my emotional bursts? Yup they were just real, or probably just from some huge disappointment! I'm really getting sick of being disappointed too. That's a post for another day!

I commented on this post last night, but then something happened and it deleted before it posted. I was too tried and frustrated to try again, so I blamed it on the "mommy brain" mush in my head. You see, you can always use that excuse. And use it to your benefit! After the pregnancy, blame it on post-partum hormones and newborn stress. The baby brain excuse still works throughout infancy, and then you can blame it on the stress of parenting a toddler. Then you can blame it on the stress of parenting a preschooler. I haven't gotten past that stage yet, but I am certain I can keep blaming whatever I need to on whatever stage of life they are in. You're in the club now, Honey! Milk it for all it's worth. A colleague of mine, a psychology professor and researcher, shared a study with my after Zoe was born. It demonstrated that on average, parents' IQ scores decreased 15 points by the time their kids graduated high school. Babe, there's SCIENCE to support us on this!
And I had even more great excuses and justifications...my doc says it takes two years post-partum for all the pregnancy hormones to level out. So I figured I had it made. After the two post-partum years with my son, I am now nearly old enough to start blaming stuff on menopause! Ha!
The secret about this being female thing, is to make it work for you!
