Cravings

By Anonymous - This FML is from back in 2011 but it's good stuff - United States

Today, on my way home from work, I decided to bring my pregnant wife a bouquet of roses to surprise her. Her response? "Why didn't you get me something useful, like chicken wings, instead?" FML

She is pregnant so it makes sense that she would be moody and have cravings...

**** woman and their bitchy attitude when it comes to PMS, Pregnancy, or simply being sick. they always have a reason to be rude, and be self-centered. not all women but those who do. I hope Karma gets you. it only makes us men feel like shit because we can't seem to do it right enough for you. and this is coming from my own mother who is a woman herself. she says woman can learn to manage themselves. they don't need to be bitching the world out or act out like their dying.

you should realize it's an actual hormonal imbalance that makes some women cranky during pregnancy and menstruation it's not (usually) just a mental thing...

tell her you already gave her something useful...another human life & the "eating for 2" has been proven to be a hoax, besides that, the wings could have given her heart burn & made her more miserable. nuff said.

it's one thing to be pregnant & moody, but entirely another to be an ass just because your pregnant & blame it on the pregnancy...woman can control their moodiness far better than they admit....simply put: when you know you're moody due to pms or pregnancy, you can prevent yourself from acting on those moods instead of acting out on those moods...be in control of your emotions, don't let them control you & we'll all be happier for it...NO MORE EXCUSES FOR BEING A RAGE-A-HOLIC PEOPLE! :)

No you absolutely CANNOT control your temper!! I've never had children, but when I'm on my period (and even sometimes when I'm not) I'm completely agitated and usually find some reason to be angry at my loved ones (mainly my boyfriend). It's not hard either, usually there's something bothering me about someone and when I'm agitated from pms I simply CANNOT ignore it or wave it off like I usually can. Listen, your wife is sharing a body with another person! She's probably far enough along that it's making her uncomfortable, she's probably always hungry and trying to control her urges to consume everything in her path, it gets harder and harder to walk comfortably, and she's agitated about it. Not only that, but you have to consider the fact that she is, most likely, thinking about how she has to birth this bowling ball that's making her feel all of these things. This is why there are so many women who feel so much sadness after they give birth. I despise people who assume everyone can control these emotions. Every woman is different. Some can control these feelings easily (very few), others simply can't. The pain from pms is especially something most women can't ignore. The pain from cramps causes gas like you wouldn't believe, bloating so it makes it much more difficult to fit into those skinny jeans, and the pain itself is enough to cause most women to be bedridden! So please don't tell me that it's easy to avoid the symptoms, I can only imagine what those things do to a pregnant woman who already has difficulty on her period. It was very sweet of you to try and comfort your wife, but I'm afraid these are the things you will need to put up with. Try and be understanding, this is the woman you love and are having children with, don't let little things like this ruin your perfectly good marriage.

Or you're just a bitch using PMS as a get out of jail card. "but when I'm on my period (and even sometimes when I'm not)" You act like this even when you're not on your period? GTFO.

I also have very little tolerance for people saying how much their period hurts and how most women are bedridden on their period...most women do feel some pain, and mood swings, but they are not bedridden. In some extreme cases MAYBE but there is no way most women are. I have an illness that causes ALOT of pain, its actually a problem with my uterus, so everytime I have my period I feel twice as much pain as I noromally do, and I'm not bedridden. I may have to be careful with what I do so I dont cause more pain but I can still go out and enjoy the day. And I know you're probably thinking that everyone feels pain differently and maybe I'm not in that much pain compared to you, but my dr says that WITH my pain killers i still feel a higher pain level than a woman does when giving birth, and thats on a normal good day...So take some Midol and relax a bit.

Yes, even sometimes when I'm not on my period, my hormones can be variant, it happens in a lot of women, try to be smarter next time... I have a hard time believing that when you're on your period you feel like you're giving birth, or feel MORE pain. I think you're fibbing. I know when I'M on my period, I feel as though someone will intermittently stab me and turn the knife while it's in my stomach. For moments it stops me at whatever I'm doing and has me feeling ill and agitated beyond belief. It stops me for a moment and I go on with my day. I know women, however, who spend a lot of their week in bed and can hardly do anything else. Perhaps they take the pain worse than I do, but I can understand the wanting to crawl under the covers and wait until it stops. If you feel as though you're in more pain than a woman who is giving birth, and you do this every month, then I'm sure you would have no problems actually giving birth. Get back to me on that one someday, dear.

Yes, I will try to be smarter next time and understand a female who has a brain and is perfectly capable of controlling their actions cannot refuse the impulse to be a bitch even when they're not on their period. Try not to be so weak minded next time and control yourself, maybe.

Did I say that I actually take my anger out when I'm not on my period? No, and I hardly ever take my anger out when I AM on my period, I DID, however, mention that I can hardly control how I feel and cannot wave things off things that I normally can. I DIDN'T mention that I take action on any of these feelings. I'm glad that we agree that you should educate yourself more, thank you.

Also, I wonder why they have specific medications for just such the situation of women having overly harsh periods? Oh is that because the pain can be overwhelming? Must just be a bunch of Eli Lilly associates trying to create another reason to have more medications on the market huh? Yep, must be! (sarcasm applied)

Yes, they do have specific pills for bad menstrual cramps. I had to have a prescription for my own. Typically though, if they are bad enough to have a prescription you should probably head to the OBGYN. It may be more serious than just bad cramps, and they may give you hormones to help. A sign of endometriosis is bad menstrual cramps. OP, don't worry, she's just a little crazy because of her hormones. She'll apologize and you can say it's alright then give her the chicken wings to say no hard feelings :).

You can think I'm lying about my situtation all you want that doesn't mean that I am. Alot of people have medical problems that cause extreme amounts of pain, I just happen to be one of them. I'm taking the strongest pain killer my dr is willing to give me.. hydromorphone, which is 5-8 times stronger than morphine and is known as "medicinal heroin" and I'm still in ALOT of pain so don't even start with me on pain issues. Besides, I didn't say that NO woman feels alot of pain, I just said MOST are not bedridden because most aren't. I even said in extreme cases they could be so I really don't see why you started getting touchy...But how about this...when you're in so much pain that you break your own wrist punching the wall (not the smartest way to vent I know, but punching things seems to help when you have a big burst of pain), and don't even notice theres a problem until your dr says it looks funny you can say that I'm clearly over-reacting about my pain. And I would gladly tell you my tale of child-birth if I could even have kids but unfortunately that illness I'm "fibbing" about makes it so that I'll never be able to.

Why are the comments allowed to be longer than the FMLs themselves?
