Lately, I’ve been getting a little frustrated—thankfully I’m almost done with this pregnancy—whenever I’m at the grocery store or a service counter where there are all these signs saying pregnant women get priority. It feels like if people aren't being considerate, the staff could at least step in and say, "Excuse me, let this lady go ahead." One day I popped into Walmart just to grab a cream that was on sale, and someone wouldn't let me pass. It makes me wonder, if we're supposed to have priority, why doesn't the cashier say anything? Or even at my local corner market where they know me, I'll be stuck behind someone indecisive about which pastries to pick while missing out on the deals... Honestly, I don't mind waiting; I never asked to skip the line during my first or second pregnancy, but this time my blood pressure keeps dropping, especially when it gets hot outside...
Dealing with low blood pressure during this pregnancy was such a headache; I couldn't even step out of the house without feeling like I might pass out until recently, but things are finally looking up... It’s just been frustrating dealing with other moms comparing bump sizes, and then having to track all these measurements just so they can compare, while my doctor hasn't even mentioned my weight or anything about the baby besides my hip bone 🤷
I'm also pretty stressed because I haven't been able to sleep at all this time around, and honestly, nothing feels settled yet. I'm only about six weeks away from my due date, and I have absolutely nothing—no crib, no stroller, no changing table, and not even a single dresser to put baby clothes in. Everything is just sitting on the floor, and I'm still trying to figure out where the kids will sleep or how we'll manage it all... it's a bit overwhelming ☕
At first I thought she was being passive-aggressive toward the teacher, but now I'm thinking she probably just said it that way so the kid wouldn't feel guilty about taking her money. It was more like a loan—the child will pay her back, and honestly, I bet the teacher doesn't even care that much about it...
Just tell her straight up during your next chat: "I don't have it right now, but I'll pay you back as soon as I can." Depending on how she reacts to that, you'll know what to do next...
