I never understood "happy tears" prior to parenting... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-more-emotional-since-becoming-a-parent#post-1648535 Wed, 21 May 2014 07:50:14 +0000 bpcmarj 1648535@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Let's just say that even though I have seen "Stepmom" a million times, watching it after I had my own LO brought on many, many, many unexpected crying fits. DH and I both said that was a poor choice for an at home date night movie. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-more-emotional-since-becoming-a-parent#post-1648431 Wed, 21 May 2014 06:31:31 +0000 wonderstruck 1648431@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>YES! I used to be the person rolling my eyes at my crying mother, saying, "You know this isn't really happening, right? It's just a TV show/movie/commercial/whatever." And now I'm next to her trying to keep my own tears from spilling over. Sigh. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-more-emotional-since-becoming-a-parent#post-1648427 Wed, 21 May 2014 06:27:23 +0000 Adira 1648427@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs Hedgehog: Oh my gosh, I used to think "Oh, that's sweet" to those Mother's Day videos, but now I'm full on sobbing when I watch them! Gahhh! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-more-emotional-since-becoming-a-parent#post-1648426 Wed, 21 May 2014 06:26:39 +0000 Adira 1648426@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsMccarthy: Right??? I'm like "Oh, there's a kid in this movie? Yeah, I can't watch it!" </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-more-emotional-since-becoming-a-parent#post-1648425 Wed, 21 May 2014 06:26:10 +0000 Mrs Hedgehog 1648425@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So I'm NOT the only one? That is a relief! I swear, when pregnancy ended it forgot to take it's hormones with it! I cry at random things and things that are supposed to be sappy, I have full on tears! If it has to do with babies and growing older or remembering when they were little, I'm done for. And those Mothers Day videos people make? I bawl. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-more-emotional-since-becoming-a-parent#post-1648420 Wed, 21 May 2014 06:21:04 +0000 ValentineMommy 1648420@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I cry all the time. At everything. Even things that aren't really sad. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-more-emotional-since-becoming-a-parent#post-1648361 Wed, 21 May 2014 03:53:18 +0000 Pumuckl 1648361@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@cheert16: This! </p> <p>Seriously I cry at the weirdest things right now and I am more impatient with LO (which then makes me soooo sad and remorseful) ;-( :bummed: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-more-emotional-since-becoming-a-parent#post-1648242 Tue, 20 May 2014 22:08:00 +0000 MrsMccarthy 1648242@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>yes I'm a basket case these days if I see anything! that even remotely relates to a child being harmed or takenfrom their parents. It kind of sucks because I miss out on a lot of good movies because I can't take it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-more-emotional-since-becoming-a-parent#post-1648233 Tue, 20 May 2014 22:02:42 +0000 lady grey 1648233@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Heck yes! I work with sick children and it's waaaay harder now then it used to be. I also saw an Infant Self Rescue survival swim video on YouTube and it freaked my shit out. I mean it was cool that they kid could float and didn't sink but they left him floating there in a pool for like 8 minutes and he was calling for his dad! Cry! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-more-emotional-since-becoming-a-parent#post-1648215 Tue, 20 May 2014 21:48:35 +0000 mamimami 1648215@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes. Bring a parent has opened me up to so much more emotionally speaking than I ever imagined. It's pretty brutal. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-more-emotional-since-becoming-a-parent#post-1648214 Tue, 20 May 2014 21:47:02 +0000 Purpledaisy 1648214@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Definitely!

I had to catch myself from sobbing when telling an acquaintance congrats on her engagement the other day. Why should I cry about that?! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-more-emotional-since-becoming-a-parent#post-1647976 Tue, 20 May 2014 19:28:55 +0000 cheert16 1647976@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup! But I think the pregnancy hormones on top of already being a momma is killing me! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-more-emotional-since-becoming-a-parent#post-1647975 Tue, 20 May 2014 19:28:10 +0000 Smurfette 1647975@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes! DH makes fun of me. I cry all the time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-more-emotional-since-becoming-a-parent#post-1647964 Tue, 20 May 2014 19:24:45 +0000 Adira 1647964@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just watched an episode of a show where the father "kidnaps" his child from the mother for all of maybe 5 minutes (of the show - a longer period of time passes for the characters) and I sobbed like a baby the entire time. Just thinking about the mother being separated from her child against her will makes me so upset!!!</p> <p>Stuff like this never really upset me this much before. I mean, yes, it was upsetting, but I'd never cry about it, especially since I know it's all fiction!</p> <p>Do you find that you're more emotional since becoming a parent? Especially when it comes to kid/parent drama? </p>
