Have you ever done something because someone told you not to?

I don't know what it is with me lately but I've become defiant. I'm usually a very easy going person. I'm bfing DD and I've had a very difficult time but I contine to do it for her. I pump at work and bf when home. People keep asking me when I'm going to stop. I wasn't really thinking about it, thought I'd stop when it felt right. But now the more they ask the longer I'll do it. And my FIL told DH and I that we had to go to the family bbq Labor Day weekend. Well just because he said that I don't want to go.

I haven't had a period in over a year, can all that pms build up? Cause I'm cranky!

Oh yeah, I have been very cranky lately (my irritability and weepiness is what prompted me to call my Dr about PPD) - but I find myself not wanting to do certain things too...people always ask me how long I plan to BF as well....honestly, I haven't thought about it even though I find it stressful, but the less I worry about Austin possibly having a bottle of formula, the less stressed I am about it. My ILs want Tom and I to go to a BBQ this weekend and last week they were pressuring me to go....and since they did that and Tom and I always go to all family functions, I really don't feel like going...plus I don't like the idea of Austin being in a buggy area #1 and #2 I don't like the idea of him being in an area with no shade (it's at their apartment and the picnic table area doesn't have much shade)

I became defiant in my last trimester... not so much cranky, but just flat out defiant.  My mom told me that I had never been that defiant in my life!

I've been defiant since at least 20 when my mother told me not to get a tattoo or she would cut me off financially....yeah so I went out and got one pretty much right after she said that. 

And if someone tells me I have to do something...most often I do the opposite.  Hasn't hurt me so far and usually I get better results doing it my way.

just seeing how defiant you were really feeling, thought yoy might drive that baby right on over here if i told you not to! 

 

but really, this fall we should GTG some weekend for a playdate.  i want to meet the little lady!

Bee.

Yes.  I think it might be a defining characteristic for me. ha ha ha  Honestly though, I regularly have to fight against this.  If I think someone is asking or telling me what to do because they are genuinely concerned or something than it's not so bad.  But, the comment by your FIL would have the same effect on me!

 Your comment about the pms build up cracked me up!
