My babysitter made me cry :(

edited February 2011 in Pregnant
A month ago I asked my boyfriend "shouldnt I be more emotional?" Trying to be funny bc I was having no emotional rollercoaster ride yet. Well, it has started, and this past week especially I have been quite the unpredictable sprinkler. My babysitter made me cry today, and I really dont think it was just hormones! My step son, a typical onery eight year old had a rough day before school yesterday, and I was texting her asking her how he was today. Real quick background: I have been with my boyfriend for over a year now and we have a very secure and healthy relationship. Our only real challenge occured when we suffered the loss of two miscarriages w in 5 months. I became very depressed and left for a week to get my head back ostraight at my parents. Well, back to my rant, the babysitter comes out of left field saying that she hasnt seen alot of him to have an answer, but her "theory" my stepson is acting out because of my pregnancy, and obviously things are "explosive" at home between my bf and i. Wow, where did that come from? My boyfriend was laid off for my entire first trimester to take care of his son and help out, I was basically on bed rest. Now that im starting to feel better he is working 60 hours a wk swing shift 2 pm to 2 am, and I spend my entire day wrapped around his son. (His sons mother abandoned him when he was 10months old, he is so attached to me) he is so excited to have a baby brother or sister coming, he rubs my belly and talks to her everyday. I dont believe she is even near close, and what she said was amazingly hurtful and just plain wrong! Well I never responded to her too many responses came to mind. But she made me cry and I just feel better for bitching about it. Thanks : p

  • Tell her to stick her nose in her own business where it belongs and just do her job. Unreal, how negative of her to say
  • I was just telling my husband that I thought something was wrong with me because I am not emotional....how far along are you? I am 8w today...

    Dont worry about the venting all us pregs ladies need to do it sometime! Besides I dont really think its your babysitters place to make assumtions like that...unless she is a licensed therapist tell her to keep her 'thoughts' to her self!
  • How about fire her!?! That's what i would be considering because that was just plain rude and none of her business to step over the line her job is to watch the kid not be family counselor
  • Ah thanks mamas!
    Ashley I am 16 wks along, and I swear the emotions came over night! Bout a week ago.
    I would love nothing more to fire her right now, my bf has used her for ten+ years with his 2 boys, and never a problem I suppose until "i came along" it seems. I swear she just doesnt like me or is jealous? Is how her comments come off to me. My bf is really mad at her as well (he had to calm me down and make me ok) so I trust his judgment w her.
    Just, wow it is uncalled for!
  • Wow, sounds like she was angry about something and lashing out? Pretty wrong of her to say though. Esp in a text!! Very inapropriate. If she had concerns she needs to talk to you about them. Not lash out at you. I would have a talk with her, if she dosn't apologize for real, I would fire her also!! Sheesh, sorry!!!
  • That is so rude and unsensitive of her! Any normal person would realize what a.hard time you are going through and try to help and be.supportive even if it is.just your babysitter not say anything to make you feel worse! Im so sorry! I would look into a new babysitter!

    On another note my emotions started around week 8...i cant even watch commercials news or american idol without crying! haha my husband thinks its so funny!
  • That babysitter needs to learn to play her position! Wow I would be pissed too!
  • What a snot....i would have got upset not being pregnant! But thre hormones make so much stuff worse, my boyfriend tips me a story about a girl at work and how crappy she treated hee kids while w were eating at dennys and I broke down bawling in the middle of the resturant, I couldn't stop crying! so it happens I think more as you get further along I'm at twenty seven weeks lol
