During a recent outing with my partner, I experienced an unexpected situation when he suffered a nosebleed while driving. His eyes darted around nervously, and he leaned back in the driver’s seat, turning off the lights. “Oh no, my nose is bleeding!” he exclaimed as we parked in a dimly lit area.
“Seriously? The store is just 40 spaces away, and it’s pitch black. Couldn’t you park any closer?” I replied.
“I don’t want anyone to see me! Just hurry!” he urged.
“Try dealing with monthly bleeding, buddy,” I shot back, slamming the door. With my PMS in full swing, I wasn’t in the mood for sympathy over a mere nosebleed.
Do I have significant PMS? Absolutely—just ask my family, and they’ll confirm. Here are some undeniable truths about my monthly transformation:
Food is Off-Limits
As mothers, we often share food with our kids, but my children have learned that during my PMS, all bets are off. I find myself devouring snacks and hiding treats, even sneaking chips in line at the grocery store. They cringe, but I remind them they once threw tantrums in public, so a little chip crunching shouldn’t be a big deal.
Tears Flow Freely
I cry at the drop of a hat. A sentimental commercial? Tears. A kind gesture from my kids? Waterworks. Even a nostalgic ’90s song can set me off. My family has learned to keep a stockpile of tissues on hand, and I’ve invested in waterproof mascara for these emotional episodes.
I’m Easily Irritated
During PMS, my tolerance plummets. It feels like everyone is doing everything wrong, and even the sound of someone chewing can send me over the edge. If I go shopping and something doesn’t fit, you might just witness a wardrobe battle. And don’t even get me started on Caillou; that character is the bane of my existence.
Constant Apologies
While I believe we shouldn’t constantly apologize—especially as mothers—I recognize my behavior during this time is less than pleasant. Thus, I find myself saying sorry to my family more than usual, hoping to make amends for my food hoarding and short temper. However, I will never apologize to Caillou.
In the end, we have earned the right to our moods, the right to indulge in snacks, and the right to shed tears over commercials. We endure the monthly struggle and don’t enjoy it any more than anyone else. So, when I need some ice cream and a foot rub, it’s only fair, right?
