I don't know, but it's prob'ly the same thing that shortens a 60-something's fuse, also.

It's hormones. I hear they do that.

Hormones, lack of sleep and fear.
Being responsible for another human being's survival (and doing your best to make sure they don't grow up to be an #######) is scary!
My daughter had a breakdown when Riggs was a couple days old because I folded her towels.
That and the discussion about rocking him to sleep are pretty much it. The other times I wanted to punch her in the throat didn't have anything to do with the baby.

When one is born we'll figure it out.

No ranting here. When girl was younger she walked outside barefoot, put dirt and sand in her mouth, I never sterilized her bottles, she ate junk food (including McDonalds), she heard me cuss (and still does), and the list goes on....that turns previously rational, sane women into raving lunatic control freaks for whom every little thing is a cause for anger and ranting?
AND, my mom would change her diapers, feed her, and rock her to sleep and I never #####ed about it!

I was pretty ridiculous when I was pregnant but that's excusable because pregnancy sucks. After I got home and had a smoke and a drink I was all good!
When I was pregnant, having a glass of wine or a little bit of beer calmed my morning (everyday) sickness during the first trimester.

Hormones is one and the other thing is they don't need to be told what to do or what needs done. I have that experience with my sister. She thinks she had all the neices and nephews around her made a pro-momma. When she finally asked, I made sure she was ready for an answer and NOT all babies are the same.

Hormones, lack of sleep and for some women......relatives trying to tell them how to raise their baby. I can't tell you how many of my friends became control freaks because their family members try to tell them how to be a mother. It's usually a MIL and there's a power struggle at that point which causes major drama and overreactions on both parts.
I didn't rant much when little man was born but my Mom is easy going and my MIL had 5 grandkids already so she had learned about overstepping boundries from my 2 SIL's.
