Anyone disappointed about the SEX of their child is a twatwaffle. I'm ALMOST tempted to say that I want another boy, simply because I want to give society and everyone who assumes I'm praying to Jebus for a girl (MIL) the middle finger.
I'm going to say anyone who is disappointed with their child for being either a specific sex or gender is a huge TW.
I feel like a dumbass asking this but what is the difference between gender and sex? Im a blonde dont judge but im prepared for the flame hahaa
Sex = anatomical designation Gender = how a person identifies
Thats what i thought but i wanted to be sure thank you!!!
I had a friend announce that she's expecting her second. She has a son who just turned 1 recently. She's having a girl and I told her I was so excited for her to have a little girl - and she said yeah well I wanted another boy but f*ck it.'
I feel like the TW this week and maybe I'll get flamed for this but whatevs. We got a puppy back in August (so he's a year now) and he's a full grown German Shepard. This pregnancy was a huge surprise ( I mean birth control and planned b). Well we need to move now and we don't think we'll be able to take him, we've tried training him and he's just so rough. We're nervous having him around a baby, he jumps, he bites ( playful but still) he's chewing everything, knocks me over. We just don't want to have an accident when the baby comes, so I think we're going to have to find him another home. Pets are never disposable, and I'd find him a great home and honestly it's not fair to him because with me being limited during this pregnancy he needs a high intensity person to give him that attention. Still doesn't help me feeling like a twatwaffle but it's honestly an accident waiting to happen.
Everyone asks me if I have a preference - I'm a FTM so it doesn't really matter. I must confess I do have one. Mostly for practical reasons. Like my indecision regarding circumcision and little boys giving moms heart attacks because they want to climb the highest/go the fastest and take risks. On the other hand, a son/mother relationship is so special.
Regardless, It doesn't mean I'm going to be like "Oh, a boy. F*ck it."
My parents didn't find out my sex because I was the first. There is voice recording of my dad right after I was born saying the doctor was like "It's a girl!" and you can hear the disappointment in my dad's voice. It mostly has to do with the fact that they were convinced I was a boy until three weeks before I was born and my mom said "Look, if it's a girl we need a name."
Luckily, my dad and I have a great relationship. I am the definition of a daddy's girl. I know he wouldn't change anything PLUS he got a Junior within three years. When I heard the disappointment - I thought it was funny. Even as a little girl society had taught me that men want boys. It's a little ridiculous.

Not flaming you but just had to say that having a girl isn't going to guarantee you a reduction in heart attacks. It's more of a parental inclination than anything to do with sex or gender of the child.
@lovethelittlethings24 No you are not a TW for this. My brother had 1/3 of his face bit off by our family dog. 30+ stitches and he wasn't even 2 yet. If you have any doubt in your mind about your child's safety and your dog find and new and loving home for it. My brothers face is forever scared and our dog was trained.
@Love4littlethings24 Needing to make the safest and smartest choice for you and your family does not make you a TW. I have spent a lot of my personal time volunteering in animal shelters, specifically, the animal control center near my home. The sad reality of (kill) animal shelters, is that 80% of the animals that are surrendered end up having to be euthanized due to space issues. It is a very sad situation, and, even sadder to actually witness. Please be mindful of that when making your choice. Hopefully, you will be able to find a new home for your dog, where he can get the attention and love that every animal deserves. Good luck!
@Love4littlethings24 I think recognizing the issue is the most important thing. It is sad that you have to give him up but German shepherds have certain breed traits that are less desirable around young children (as do many breeds). Better for him and your family if he is in a setting where he can thrive than try to force one you are already having misgivings about.
@Beverly0628 he came from a breeder and the parents were imported from Germany, so I know someone, I'm thinking a male who lives alone who goes hiking a lot, he would be perfect for! I would never let him go to a shelter or even a rescue because I want to see and get a vibe from the people that are taking him.
@StephPegasus@Monilee1017 thanks for your input guys, I've gotten so flack from friends for even contemplating it, but I just couldn't live with myself if something happened. Pets have always been apart of our family, but it's so true how much things change when it comes to your child.

Our dog luna is a german shepard shes about 6 months definitely a handful but my cousin comes over alot and her kids are young so weve been able to train her not to jump or chew on babys. But my DH has already said if she does anything that makes him nervous about her veing arpund baby shes gone. Your not a tw your a concerned mother to be nothing wrong with that IMO
@ Love4littlethings24 That's awesome! You should not feel like a TW or listen to friends that don't support your choice. It sounds like you are a caring, smart person who has put a lot of thought into it.
Kind of random but I've been reading a bit lately, and I have to say that authors who kill off characters for shock value are TWs.
Whyyy did you think that was necessary to the storyline???
@Love4littlethings24 you are not a TW. There are many no kill rescues that would take your pup and help it find a good home. Google German Shepard rescue for your city.
My boobs are twatwaffles. They are completely out of control. They are huge. Hurt when I wake up/move. So heavy. I feel like they will probably start leaking soon. I give up.
Thanks for the kind words everyone. I think today I'm just going to soak it in and begin searching! maybe see what the rescues are about, and maybe ask around so a friend might be able to take him!
I'm still not supposed to do anything because of the surgery, but I have an OB appointment today at 3. She is supposed to come stay with DS every day this week starting at 3. I asked her LAST WEEK if she would be able to get off work early or if I needed to make other arrangements for my son and I still haven't heard anything other than "We'll see". We'll see.... really. So what the hell am I supposed to do when 2:30 rolls around and I still don't know? I'm not allowed to take my son to my OB appointment unless someone else is there to watch him, and at the point just watch him at my house, or your house, I really don't care. It is stressing me out and I seriously want to whap her upside the head and scream at her to ask already and get it together.
I will be texting her at 10 to see if she's made any progress, but I honestly kind of doubt it.
Thanks for the kind words everyone. I think today I'm just going to soak it in and begin searching! maybe see what the rescues are about, and maybe ask around so a friend might be able to take him!
You have to do what best for your family. And you are doing your best to find him a good home so you are not a TW. I hope you find him someone great.
My cat is a TW for waking me up at 3 am (every day!!!) because she thinks it's time for me to feed her! I have a hard enough time sleeping...I don't need your antics X(

I have another.. DH wants to go take the boat out to this little party island. His dad is with us and all they do is get drunk on the boat ESPECIALLY when going to this island. The time before last that we went I was pregnant and everyone got trashed and I was stuck feeling miserable (especially on the crazy ride back when we washed up twice) dealing with drunk idiots. I told him I would only go if he didn't get trashed. His response? "But you can drive the boat!"

My ex was the same way!! So happy my DH isnt much of a drinker. Stand your ground mama!!
This dude in the doctor's office was a major TW. There we all are in the small waiting room, most of us pregnant and a few new moms with babies. One baby in the room was only 12 days old. And this guy is coughing, like SERIOUSLY hacking without covering his mouth.
My boyfriends was being a complete twatwaffle last night... It was hot out and he was complaining of a headache and how hot he was he wanted to throw up during our moving.. We r moving from one side of our street to the other in a bigger location.. I get it it's hot, mind you i have migraines and throw up like 4 times a day and barely complain.. I wanted to scream STFU but I didn't. Try growing another human in your body and then complain.. End of rant

Literally...but f*ck it?
It's almost as bad as people posting on here about gender blues... I'm really starting to get sick to my stomach hearing about gender PREFERENCE. Think about the positives for real. If I had a boy I would be just as excited. "Hey babe.. We got another boy to carry your name"!! And the fact we can do hand me downs bunk beds... But we are having a girl which is what he was hoping for. So that means we get to go on a shopping spree for cute sundresses and hair bands!
on this board we are mostly females ... Sucks that some people are even like I want a boy!!! Yet we are female and know how cool girls can be too it just blows my mind.
DH is a TW. He burps a lot, and any time he burps I gag. I tell him this, so he'll burp again. I don't know what it is about his burps, but they make me want to puke my guts out.
Also my stomach is a TW. It will growl all through me eating a meal. Which pisses me off for some reason. Like seriously?! I'm feeding you, shut up.
My Coworker's dog that she brought in to work today. She knocked down the baby gate we set up for her, and ate my mini bags of oyster crackers I keep around in case morning sickness strikes. Then she got into the trash and spread it all over the back room. So I left it all out and when my co worker gets back from her break she can clean it up!
My hormones are TWs today. I'm not a cryer but literally cannot stop crying over stupid crap for the last two days. Ugh.
Seriously...my life. My fiancé and I work for the same company. Two completely different departments, but some times I'll see him on break and when I have to say bye and he gives me a hug. I'll have to hold back tears. I'll get overly emotional about not being able to see him until 8 o'clock. I'm such a baby.
The Chinese food I had for lunch! It tasted so Good and I was Happy until about 30 minutes later when baby rejected it like it was a scene from the excorism! Come one baby girl like something!!!!
My very selfish, very immature (but 25 year old) brother in law, was UPSET that we purposely got pregnant. Do you know why?
Because we had already booked a cruise for August and I RUINED it. Yep. I ruined the vacation for everyone because I won't be able to get wasted. He went so far as to say "why didn't you guys wait until after the cruise??" And once afterwards..."you know how I feel about it..."
On top of that, never asks me how I'm doing (we work together) never texts or calls my DH, his brother about it..... yea.... TW!!!!!
@Love4littlethings24 it sounds like rehoming your dog may be the best option. There are still 5-6 months before baby comes when he might be able to become better trained, and he is still a puppy so might settle down a bit more, but I wouldn't leave rehoming until the last minute. Have you talked to a trainer? We have a large dog too, a lab mix that is about 80 lbs, but he will be almost 6 years old when baby comes and he loves kids including infants and has had lots of supervised exposure at friends houses. So we aren't worried about him, but even dogs that are good with kids should never be left with young children unattended.
My TW is sleep. What happened to a good nights sleep? Being a FTM I thought I would have another 6 months, but thanks to insomnia and peeing 5 times a night I feel like Mother Nature is putting me through sleep training for having a baby. FYI I used to sleep like a rock.
My bump is a TW. Last night I had a random growth spurt. Only I was awake to feel it. I woke up around 2 (to pee of course). And I had a hell of a time trying to fall back asleep because the feeling in my bump was the weirdest effing thing ever. Ever. Not exactly a cramping feeling, not exactly a stretching, but maybe something in between.

Sorry, but I couldn't help but LOL. He sounds so immature and selfish. Like I honestly feel like this has got to be a joke because of how immature it is. Poor thing. Sorry he's being unsupportive.
