Grrrrrrrrrrr

I am so sick of people whinging about their pregnancies and babies on Facebook!!! Grrrrrrrrrrr I want to slap them and make them realize how lucky they are!!!

...I don't think I whinge too much about pregnancy , but as grateful as I am to be pregnant , its in the human nature to complain , and no matter how wanted it is , pregnancy is not always a picnic . Sorry if thats offensive,but its true , however, I love that I am pregnant , and I know there are many that don't have that chance, so im very grateful for my growing belly,....nausea , heartburn , sore body and all .
I don't complain about my children, cos,well I have the best kids in the world , and again, Im just grateful to have them , on their good days, and on their bad
...Although I will complain about the fact that my daughter has discovered the back Street boys and is watching Everybody over , and over again . ..NOT cutie cutie (honestly , the BackStreet Boys , where the heck ?? )

I think deep down people knowhow lucky they are (least I hope they do !) , but as I said, its human nature to complain ,and I guess for some ...they get more enjoyment out of it , I don't, I would much rather look at the bright side, but as they say ...it takes all sorts to make the world ....
Sorry its bugging you tho, I hope its your turn to have your pregnancy milestones and bump pics very soon

Mmmn I hear the OP's issue, I have it with fb. While I appreciate there are the not so nice bits about pregnancy, when you constantly have people's preggy updates filling up your minifeed(yeah, I know, hide button=godsend) you can absolutely guarantee this all comes through on a day of lowest of the absolute low "I'll never be pregnant"

I think people complaining about pregnancy has its place, and, shoot me for this, but fb isn't that place, unless you can personally guarantee that you know EVERYONE on your friends list is not having ttc, mc or any kind of 'want kids but can't have them now' woes.

Hugs girls, I certainly can appreciate where you are coming from and totally understand how it can feel like a slap in the face.. been there, done that!

I do think that its a bit unrealistic and unfair to be honest to expect people to never complain about pregnancy or their children!

I for one moan away about pregnancy but I am NOT moaning that I am pregnant.. there is a big differenct there. I hate to say it, but pregnancy can be extremely hard for some women and I dont think they should have to keep their mouth shut if they are having a crap day because it may or may not offend someone else.

As for moaning about your kids... yup I have done that, not often but sometimes, like any other person in your life, they just push your buttons and you need to vent. Rather it be a whinge on FB than slapping them across the face out of frustration....

None of my moans mean that I dont appreciate my pregancy or child or that I dont know who lucky I am to have them... Just that right now I am a bit fed up and I am entitled to feel that and express it!

Struggling to conceive is such an isolating thing because many of us choose not to tell anyone about it... We never kept our issues secret from our friends and family, if people asked us we told them and for the most part that helped a lot because it meant that we could have a good moan about my crap ovaries!

Like lilfatty said, there is bound to be something you have had a wee moan about to someone else not realising that you have offended them in someway. It wasnt intentional, nor is whinging about kids/pg meant to be offensive.

..I would rather complain on FB , than complain and be a miserable cow to the people that actually matter, which is ,my husband and children .
But I will say that seeing someone complain about something ,anything really all the time does make you want to hide all their statuses .

I dont think the problem is so much about complaining every now and then... but when its almost every single status they post?! I had it rough with Jae, but I made sure I didnt complain about it as I had tried for so long, that to feel like utter crap was worth it to get the end result.

This time around I'm not complaining at all, in fact I'm barely talking about it on FB as I have friends and family members who have been trying since about the time i started trying for Jae... so I can understand that to see continious status posts from me about a second baby in the time they're still trying for their first can be a little upsetting. I keep most of my pregnancy ramblings to either my due thread, or my personal blog, so if people WANT to read it, they can, otherwise its not in their face all the time.

My original post was meant as a vent, not to start a debate but thanks to the supporters. And Lilfatty, please try to show some consideration, this isn't General Chat.

OMG, you're kidding me right? You do know that there are people struggling to get pregnant in this section? Do you have any idea what spanky as been through for example?

That's what I mean by show some consideration.

Im sorry if my post started a debate,that was not my intention , I just wanted to say my thoughts on it ,which are that people seem to complain cos its human nature ....hoping that finding a reason why they complain would make you feel a bit better .
But by all means ,vent away , because people whinging all the time ,especially when its about something you so desperately want , it is bound to be hard to see .
I prefer to keep FB statuses lighthearted and usually full of Friend's quotes myself , but there are those that complain every status...C's stepmum is like that , drives me crazy sometimes
