Wednesday WTF

ADH0906

Unburden your souls, ladies.

WTF pedi! DS hasn't pooped in well over a week now, and he's had every treatment under the sun. You told me to call first thing this morning if yesterday's "attempt" failed, so I had everyone up, breakfasted, and dressed by 8am so that we can move on to the next step in this process...it's been nearly 2 hours since I called and I still haven't heard back. Boy needs to poop, lady!

...of course, I totally understand that they might be completely swamped with patients and other stuff this morning. I don't mean to imply that the work they're doing is unimportant or that DS should come first...I'm just overwhelmed with this situation and want it to be resolved. My poor baby's tummy hurts.

ADH0906

@scottysgirl77‌ That is not okay. We're you scheduled to be there this morning?
@Emerald27‌ Hope your little guy gets some relief soon!

Mine: WTF, house. We paid lots of money to spray foam insulation in the crawl spaces and attic and air seal you, which I thought would help with all the creepy crawlies that were in the house last spring. There are still earwigs every time I turn around (*shudder) and the biggest spider I've ever seen was behind the curtains in the nursery last night. He got away, and now I'm thisclose to a panic attack every time something touches me. I'm over being on edge because of this. And no, DH, having a house with this many bugs is not "part of living in the country". I grew up in the country, thank you very much, and didn't have to constantly watch my footing for earwigs. Gross.

WTF bladder!?! Can I get a break PAH-LEASE! I've been to the bathroom 6 times, SIX TIMES in the past 2 hours. Most times barely enough comes out to warrant the trip. Can you cut it with the urgency feeling and wait until I really have to go? Please and thank you!

WTF Schedule/Boss! Why am I the only person in the office who simply MUST work this Saturday? It's a holiday weekend, I am not going to have any work to do and people who actually do have work don't have to come in. I explained this to my boss and she freaked out over it, like I was out of line. Seriously though, I'm off Friday and Sunday but have to come in on Saturday at 8:30 am for a 6 hour BS waste of time shift where I'll basically be acting as an answering machine and pissing off our customers because I can't help them! So annoying! 

ADH0906

@bazingabee‌ My biggest heartburn trigger is any water that isn't ice cold. DH thinks I have lost my mind.

@Wino411‌ Sorry, doll, I know how much that sucks. I'm carrying so low that sometimes just sitting at my desk makes me have to pee this often, and it blows. Have you made sure you don't have an infection of some sort? Hope you get some relief!

@staryb‌ Wow, how shitty of them.

AmandaJean12

WTF sleep? We used to be friends. 1 and 2 hour increments aren't cutting it. I'm starting to lose my mind.

And what WTF nerve that controls my left leg going numb and burning. I know she's probably kicking you. Deal with it. I haven't been able to move normally in 12+ hours.

I was worried it could be an infection but it only happens for like 2 hours a day and then I get some relief. I'm thinking he's just sitting on my bladder and when he finally decides to move, I get relief. Those 2 hours just SUCK in the meantime! But I will ask about it at my next appt just to double check.

Also this^ So frustrating. I have to pee every time I stand up!

WTF nesting urge? I have to pack for a long car trip and get the dogs kenneled and finalize plans before 11 today- and all I want to do is sort the toys in the playroom....

PC0909

WTF weather... tropical storm during my one long weekend this summer? 

And while I'm at it, WTF immune system.  I don't want to be sick right before the 4th.  Go away fever and cough!  (I miss Nyquil!!)

DreadGamerWife

WTF inlaws?  While I am very grateful that you want to help us prepare for Schroeder's arrival by purchasing our crib and mattress, that does not give you the right to complain about our choice of an IKEA crib (and how inexpensive it is).  Just because DH's sister chose more expensive cribs for her twins over a decade ago does not mean that we need to do more research and find a more expensive crib for you to purchase.  Either buy us the selected crib/mattress or don't - I am beyond caring by now.  Just make a decision so we can have the nursery furniture assembled by the end of July and I can start decorating/organizing.

 If you want to spend more money, there is an entire registry out there for you to review, and if you really want to, we will be happy to ask you to buy us a new washing machine to make CDing easier on us.

WTF, back? Is it necessary for you to hurt all the time? This is getting old, and I know it's only going to get worse.

Also, WTF, cat? Is there a reason you decided to raise holy hell, scratching and meowing all night long, even though your bowl was full and there was no reason for you to do that? Just wanting me up is not a valid excuse.

My cat would also not STFU last night. He was being so annoying!

@dorothyzbornak97

If it makes you feel any better, one of my cats woke me up this morning by aggressively headbutting, cuddling and nibbling my face.

I think our cats channel each other. Every time you WTF your cat, mine has literally done the same thing. The past two nights, Pete feels the need to jump on our bed and just start yelling at us. No idea why. Just yelling really loud and trying to snuggle. I can't be upset because its so damn cute.

@Kirby513‌ If DH says "we have pleeeenty of time" once more, I'm divorcing him.

MrsSinner402

WTF Home Depot guy? We told you that our old wood windows would be completely torn out down to the 2x4 framing (meaning no jambs or sills) yet you still tell us a replacement window will work rather than a new construction window. So we order said windows, wait 2 weeks for their arrival, all the while the nursery is at a stand still because we need windows before we put in the drywall, and now we find out they wont work. I certainly hope you don't attempt to charge me this 15% restocking fee you claim on your special order returns, because it was not at all our fault. Andplusalso, you'd best have the windows in the size we need in stock like YESTERDAY, or this pregnant lady will have a rage in the Millworks department. Kthxbai.

WTF self? I miss having control of my emotions. I really really do miss not being a crying, weepy mess at the drop of a hat over every little thing.

WTF Flight Med? I need to make an appointment for this cough that has continued for 2 weeks and you decide NOW is the best time to tell me that I'm no longer in your care? And then I call Family Practice only to find out that they think I'm still with Flight Med? That's fine. I don't mind doing YOUR JOB for you and fixing this up at the Tricare level.

WTF DH? Does the meaning of keeping the house clean completely escape you? Or do you think that leaving mail EVERYWHERE is considered ok? Also, why do you have to be such a baby about cat vomit and poop? You don't see me wanting to throw up at the sight of it and I'M PREGNANT. What's your excuse?

Just wanted to say, I love the name you have picked out. Love it, love it, love it. 

narabug

WTF body? Why must I feel like crap on my day off? My head is killing me, and I can't take anything for it because trying to swallow pills still makes me hurl. My stomach is all kinds of strange. And I feel like I need to lie down every time I try to stand up. I was supposed to be cleaning today. Grr.

Syllessa

I'll join the cat WTFs.  This is what happens every time I sit down.  Sheldon just has to drape himself across my boobs (he will yowl at me until I let him) and Tripps has to be right next to me, too.

 

[Deleted User]

The WTF cats have reminded me of my WTF dog. He has decided that he must be glued to my hip, and he also wants to rest his head on my belly and sprawl out next to me/on top of me all the time. This would all be fine, if he wasn't 95 pounds and I never had to move. So in addition to the extra 22 pounds I've gained, I also have to shove off this giant dog in order to get anything done, ever.

Cats are so awesome.

WTF cat not only are you needy lately, but you cannot just kill things for your own entertainment and then bring them into the house to bat around on the floor. It's gross and I really didn't want to barefoot step on a dead bird in my hallway.

victoria+james

WTF self... why do you have to be sick! I have no days off for the next 2 weeks for sure and I feel like I'm dying. Which leads to...

WTF jobs... why do we have to be so short staffed that I can't get a day off without having requested it a month ago. I'm sick... I want to go home. And finally...

WTF DH... first off, how are you on my WTFs yet again!? Second of all, did it not occur to you to try on your suit for your interview perhaps before you needed to use it? Just the basic facts, but if you knew it was on the snug side and you knew you'd gained weight since last wearing it, how did you not see this issue coming a mile away?

Wino411

Speaking of WTF... these parents of the year deserve a serious throat punch!

Thankfully the kid is doing fine now but seriously WTF?!?!

Bebelove0947

WTF DH!?? No no, don't worry I'll get up at 5am and put the puppy out even though you have to get up and get ready for work anyway. In my underwear and tank top none the less. Ooh and you know I haven't been sleeping well. Soo yeah thanks for that. I'm not sorry I called you an asshole or blocked your attempt to give me a kiss goodbye. Sorry not sorry!

WTF DS!!! We have two weeks left in this shoe box apartment before our new house is finished and we can move in and you chose now to write on the walls!! Really!?? Ooh that's right you watched daddy mark the walls in the new house with pencil where there are defects that need to be fixed. I got so upset about this I cried! (DS brought me a hand towel to wipe my tears, he can be so sweet sometimes.)

WTF self!?? You are gonna be a stressed out mess in two weeks when we start to move. Packing one box a day isn't gonna cut it. Get your shit together! I just have nowhere to put boxes once they are packed. Ugh I just wanna move already and be done with all of this!!

*sorry if this doesn't show up in paragraphs I'm on mobile

KariAnnM 23

WTF Obgyn?!?!? If it isn't bad enough that I have been on hospital bed rest of 8 weeks, now you decide that rounding at 6am isn't early enough. 4am!?!? Really!?!? No, don't mind me. I don't need any sleep.

@mrsbabe614

Oh my gosh!!!!!!!!!!!  That would freak me out.  One of my cats likes to leave his toys in my shoes (I woke up to a stuffed fish in one shoe and a mouse head in the other), and I fear that if he killed something it would also end up in my shoes.

You have a good little hunter!

@KariAnnM 23 I'm sorry, that sounds so rough!

bumpuser10309732

@golfingdarwinfish This is a new thing. It's usually just bugs! I'd definitely take the toys in shoes 

tamibattle

These conference calls at work are killing me!! They are back to back calls all day and I always need to go to the bathroom! Not to mention quite a few have been scheduled through my lunch! WTF!!

irisheyes317

WTF strangers who make jerk comments? First last week, after the grocery store cashier asked the standard "when are you due" question that I've been getting from everyone I encounter these days, he proceeded to ask "were you guys trying for a long time?" I wish I had a good response but I was so shocked by the question that I just mumbled a non answer. So then he said, "it's okay, I was a surprise baby to my parents too." WTF?? Not okay.

Then at dinner the other night the hostess asked the standard "boy or girl" question, she started to argue with me when I said it was a girl. Apparently I'm carrying high so the doctor is wrong and it must be a boy. Next time around, I'll skip the ultrasound and just ask her instead...

Sockgnome78

@Wino411‌ these are the stories that make me so mad. WTF? To the parents. Just makes me shake my head.

Sorry to all the ladies that are not feeling well. Hoping I get rid of this cough soon.

To the ladies with cats. Oh how I remember those days. We had 2 good hunters (mainly bugs). But now it has gotten so hot here that the dog is not doing her job of chasing birds out of the yard. Monsoon storms need to happen like now or it needs to be the end of September like now!

@scottysgirl77‌ sorry that happened. I would not be happy by any means.

@Emerald27 hope your DS gets some relief soon. Poor guy.

Other then that no WTF ' S for me.

AppleGrapeMSTK

I have another.

WTF aunts?  My aunts are pretty manipulative and don't get along with my mom AT ALL.  They get super jealous and annoyed easily when my mom does ANYTHING.  My grandpa passed away last week and his funeral was this past weekend.  I couldn't make it for the funeral, so DH, the kids, and I are coming this weekend for a visit (14.5 hour car ride).  My grandmother lives two hours away from my mom, so in order to get the most out of this trip, my mom made arrangements for my grandma to stay with my mom for the week.

My aunts convinced my grandma that she should NOT go to my mom's house for various reasons.  So now after spending 14.5 hours in a car, I have to drive another 2 hours in the car to visit my grandma and 2 hours on the trip back- so that the very next day I can drive another 14.5 home.  I'm not going to be there very long and adding this extra trip is just going to kill my tailbone.  41% of my 80-hour-vacation will be spent in the car.  

All because my aunts were jealous- even though they were invited along, too (they declined).

ETA: My mom wanted my grandma to help with a quilt for the baby- 3 generations working on one blanket would have been super sweet and extra special.  I'm a bit disappointed that it's not happening now.

That's actually kind of impressive.

I have to add one about my mother, because I'm so frustrated with her and need an outlet before I text her something I will regret.

WTF, mother. I know that despite being a home health nurse who deals with elderly patients all day, you do not believe in a flu shot because you think it gives you the flu (*insert eyeroll*). However, remember when you got the flu last year and were so ill that you swore the flu shot was worth it and you were now a believer in how serious influenza can be?

I just texted her to say that we're asking them (who will be staying with us for several weeks after the baby is born) to have their tdap and flu shot, and could she please let dad know so he would have plenty of time? I assumed she had the tdap since she's a health care worker. She responded that she didn't have either of those, and "most workers at the hospital won't have their tdap anyway and the flu shot isn't recommended until later I the fall". FFS, mother. You are a HCW that doesn't have her tdap? And you're really going to fight me about this? You should have this as an adult anyway, and you're putting your patients at risk by not getting a flu shot 'because you don't think you need one.' And I'm pretty sure most hospital workers A. Have the tdap and B. Will not be kidding and cuddling the face of my newborn for two weeks.

(Holy shit. Sorry. I needed to get that off my chest. I cannot fathom her reasoning. )

fireflyrebirth

WTF bathtub/shower?  Why are you so gross even after I spent like an hour trying to clean you?  I hope the ILs (visiting this weekend) don't judge our level of cleanliness based on your sorry state.

The shower/whole bathroom needs to be redone but it's not ours to do (renters) so, there you have it.

slsl509

WTF cafeteria lady who asked me when I was due and when I said October, looked at my belly for too long with a look of shock and said "Whoa". Yeah, I'm big. I'm measuring 2 weeks ahead. Bite me.

persephonerose

WTF Mom, I know you are BSC but this is a whole new level.

She got a dog. She has had it less than a month. In that time he has bitten my mom twice and at least one other person. Because of this I told her she could not bring this dog with her once the twins come.

I find out from my sister that the dog ran away. I told my sister I bet she dumped it. Sure enough I talked to my mom today. She says she took it to a housing complex and dumped it. I was shocked, I went off on her about bad it could be if it bit someone, and how awful rabies shots are for humans.  She didn't even care.

Maybe it's the pregnancy hormones talking but this makes me sad. Even though it was a biter, I love dogs and am sad that she did this.
