I cry watching commercials now. The best part is I couldn't care less :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-cry-more-now-that-youre-a-mom#post-523599 Thu, 24 Jan 2013 02:20:57 +0000 autumn865 523599@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes absolutely. Time will tell whether that is because I'm a mom or because I am perpetually tired lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-cry-more-now-that-youre-a-mom#post-523598 Thu, 24 Jan 2013 02:20:34 +0000 SAHM0811 523598@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Modern Family makes me cry a lot! All those montages they do at the end... always so cute.</p> <p>I became more of a crier after we got married... and then even moreso after kids. I just get more and more sentimental I guess! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-cry-more-now-that-youre-a-mom#post-523581 Thu, 24 Jan 2013 01:34:19 +0000 Running Elley 523581@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've always been a huuuuuuge crier... And it's gotten worse since I had LO. </p> <p>However, now it's more little cries at random things. A lot of it is happy tears. Before LO id just let things build up and then every 3 weeks or so have a big, long emotional breakdown lol. I haven't done that really since the midpoint of my pregnancy. Weird! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-cry-more-now-that-youre-a-mom#post-523564 Thu, 24 Jan 2013 01:16:14 +0000 SlightFigureOfSpeech 523564@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm with littlek, I used to only cry in anger or frustration. I knew I was in trouble when, while pregnant, when I cried at the end of the J&amp;J commercial where the baby smiles at the end.<br /> I cried during pregnancy for various reasons, and definitely post partum. I'd take a long bath to think about anything and everything sad and just cry to get it out. There was something so relieving to feel the hot tears streaming down my face. I don't think I had ppd, but baby blues, maybe. I was shocked by how wicked the hormones could be! I'd say that maybe 3 months pp that's finally tapered off. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-cry-more-now-that-youre-a-mom#post-523167 Wed, 23 Jan 2013 20:34:11 +0000 mrs. wagon 523167@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@chopsuey119: do NOT turn to ABC family right now. A Walk To Remember is on. dammit, why can't I change the channel??? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-cry-more-now-that-youre-a-mom#post-519830 Tue, 22 Jan 2013 15:39:31 +0000 littlebug 519830@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@chopsuey119: Modern Family made me bawl this week, though that could be because I was waiting to check into the hospital to start my induction! Since LO was born, I've cried like a zillion times...commercials, songs, books I read to him...every little thing sets me off! Good tears, though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-cry-more-now-that-youre-a-mom#post-519824 Tue, 22 Jan 2013 15:38:09 +0000 Bao 519824@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't think it has changed much. I'm not much of a crier anyway...I do get overwhelmed a bit more though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-cry-more-now-that-youre-a-mom#post-519820 Tue, 22 Jan 2013 15:35:36 +0000 2PeasinaPod 519820@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes...definitely cry more often. Especially when I hear stories of couples struggling to have children or going through premature delivery and all the worry that comes with all of that. And the St. Jude's commercials? Forget it...I'm a weeping mess. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-cry-more-now-that-youre-a-mom#post-519748 Tue, 22 Jan 2013 15:16:48 +0000 gracecat 519748@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Absolutely. Recently I read an article about the new movie Les Miserables and recalled the story line about Fantine and what she goes through for the love of her daughter Cosette and started crying!! I couldnt imagine how sad I would be if I could barely provide for my baby girl and how tough life would be. Sigh... I probably couldnt watch the movie right now. I need tissues just thinking about it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-cry-more-now-that-youre-a-mom#post-519302 Tue, 22 Jan 2013 12:33:27 +0000 littlek 519302@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've always been a crier, but I noticed it takes much less to make me cry now. DH has to monitor the TV because when the ASPCA commercial comes on I start bawling... or coffee commercials, or diaper commercials... I just shouldn't watch TV, it's bad. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-cry-more-now-that-youre-a-mom#post-519285 Tue, 22 Jan 2013 12:26:19 +0000 Andrea 519285@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, I don't think so. I cry if I get really frustrated but I have always done that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-cry-more-now-that-youre-a-mom#post-519247 Tue, 22 Jan 2013 12:03:49 +0000 Mrs. Grizzly Bear 519247@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I do, especially since I have a LO -and- I'm pregnant again. Disagreements with my husband, dealing with ILs, anything goes wrong with my son, I'm in tears. I could be emotional before but tears were for anger and frustration, not sadness. Those I kept to myself. Now, it doesn't matter what's going on, drop of the hat I'm likely to cry. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-cry-more-now-that-youre-a-mom#post-519239 Tue, 22 Jan 2013 11:58:33 +0000 cascademom 519239@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I cry when I'm sleep deprived. During my maternity leave, I cried a lot when I had the hormone dumps. Something about nursing and the hormones associated with that make me cry a lot too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-cry-more-now-that-youre-a-mom#post-519235 Tue, 22 Jan 2013 11:56:58 +0000 mrbee 519235@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I almost cried this morning. Very rare for me, I think I'm just worn down. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-cry-more-now-that-youre-a-mom#post-519233 Tue, 22 Jan 2013 11:55:56 +0000 MrsBrewer 519233@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm not pregnant, or have any LO's. But I've been noticing that I'm more emotional lately!! No idea why, it's not like I've switched BC or gone off of it. I cry over everything, especially anything animal related! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-cry-more-now-that-youre-a-mom#post-519230 Tue, 22 Jan 2013 11:54:01 +0000 travelgirl1 519230@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Her beautiful smiles make me cry, lol. So yes :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-cry-more-now-that-youre-a-mom#post-519226 Tue, 22 Jan 2013 11:51:05 +0000 rachiecakes 519226@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@chopsuey119: not in general like hurt feelings, disagreements, telling DH about work situations, venting, etc. It's actually quite the opposite. I could care less about those things now.<br /> But when it comes to LO, I could cry over everything. I cried when he used the sippy cup for the first time, haha.. sometimes I get teary because I love him so freakin' much! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-cry-more-now-that-youre-a-mom#post-519225 Tue, 22 Jan 2013 11:50:30 +0000 autumnlove 519225@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I cried a lot during my maternity leave but I'm back to normal now! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-cry-more-now-that-youre-a-mom#post-519222 Tue, 22 Jan 2013 11:48:32 +0000 chopsuey 519222@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was never a big crier..<br /> But now everything makes me weepy!<br /> Modern family made me cry<br /> Last night's Bachelor..<br /> Stories I hear and read about children .. </p>
