Ordered my first latte in a long time and then proceeded to spill it all over the floor in my car. I was really looking forward to going straight home after work because I had nothing to do. Now I have to find a place to get the carpet cleaned. (
I seriously had an ridiculous breakdown last night because I couldn't get a grilled cheese to come out okay. I mean full water works, slammed the pan, complete with unintelligible jabber. I even went from sobbing to laughing at myself as soon as the anger/upset went away. WTF to my emotions, I feel like a huge ball of crazy that's slowly unwinding.
I'm just tired of the questions. The bathrooms at work seem like the place for ladies around the office to ask me the standards. Can't I just pee and wash my hands in peace? I don't want to chat about due date, the sex of the baby or anything else right now.
We're having twins
Our angel baby boy is looking over his twin sister - due November 21

THIS. How many times can the same woman ask me when my due date is? Lady, it's obvious you don't care enough to listen to or take note of my answer, so stop asking me!

My WTF Wednesday goes to the women who feel the need to shout "ANY DAY NOW, RIGHT?!" whenever I walk by.
Like, no bitches. I told you I have a month to go yesterday.
You should add them to twatwaffle Tuesday even though it's Wednesday.
Seriously though!!!! A lady at my job yesterday basically said the same thing. She asked "Are you sure they got the date right?" Yes I'm sure. Thanks for checking though.
WTF to the parent that sent their child to school with chicken pox!!!!! Im so pissed, and my husband had never had it before!!
Edit** I can't stop itching when I think about it!!!
who even gets chicken pox anymore? I thought everyone got vaccinated now? (I know that's a stupid assumption due to all the anti-vaxxers out there, but seriously it's been so long since I've heard of anyone actually having pox!)
My WTF goes out to me, I have only recently started working on getting the nursery and other baby stuff together. My genius idea was to sand and repaint the crib we found on craigslist. Seriously, why did I think this was going to be an easy project?? It is the biggest pain in my ass and I don't want to finish it but have no other option!! first world problems, am I right?

You can still get chicken pox even after you've been vaccinated. I was a little hypochondriac as a small child so I was consistent with my shots. Still got sick :-??

Idk, my kids are all up todate on ALL vaccines. But I know someone who works in the office at the school, and apparently this child was vaccinated. Still WTF you know the parent KNEW the kid was sick and had something wrong with them and they shouldn't have been at school. I mean if I could see the pic from literally going in to drop off, it's obvious!!!
Fyi my kids did not stay at school we promptly left after I bitched at the office.

I remember having what was probably the stupidest school nurse ever in 1st grade. I was really really bored and took a red marker to the bathroom with me and put red dots all over my arms and told the teacher I didn't feel good because I had chicken pox. I went to see the nurse and she actually called my parents to come pick me up. lol.
If there's something strange underneath the hood. Who you gonna call? Your Doctor. If there's something weird and it don't look good. Who you gonna call? Your Doctor. Immediately. If it's new, painful, and possibly pregnancy related get your ass off the internet and call your doctor. It's for your health and your child's.
My WTF goes out to the fact that all of a sudden I really want to clean. Which would normally be fine (great, even, since I haven't had much of a nesting instinct yet) except I gave DH the stomach bug that sent me to the hospital so I'm taking care of him instead... he's a really light sleeper so I can't do any of the vacuuming, and when he's awake, he feels the most comforted when he's resting on me. Since I gave him the bug and he was so fantastic with me in the hospital, it's pretty much the least I can do. But it sucks that now is when I want to clean all the things.
WTF goes to the cleaning lady, who I always say hello to, for letting me know 'I'm starting to waddle and looking large' while I'm having a technical conversation with a high level manager... Thanks for taking me down a notch.
So I babysit 2 little boys 5 & 3 (not brothers) and have my own boys 5,3, &1. So the 3 year old that I watch just threw up on my rug (old thankfully) and I texted his mom that he was sick. "Do you want me to come get him? Was it just once". Yes it was just once, and yes I want you to come get him! He's your kid and he's throwing up!! Why should I have to deal with it for the rest of the day. I don't need a puking kid with my other kids. I would never of asked if my babysitter wanted to keep my puking kid, I would be there as quick as I could.
Ok rant over and his mom is on her way, thankfully
My store owner called me "fat lady" today. He has a very dry sense of humour and absolutely no filter so I'm not overly offended because he's definitely said way worse inappropriate things, but add that to the fact that we just got in our new tshirts for the dark roast promotion and my manager INSISTED I have a large one and I am definitely not that big and my self esteem was taken down a few notches. Yep. Please point out the obvious belly I have going on. Not like I'm growing a human being in there or anything!

Woah, that crosses a major line! Does the store you work for have a corporate HR that you can contact? In what world does he think that's okay? It's harassment!

I feel you on this so much. For some reason the parents that I've watched for lately have been this kind. The mother of the one and a half year old will tell me at drop off "he's got really bad diarrhea and he's been throwing up." Okay, so maybe it'd be better for him to stay home? Especially since she has an extremely flexible schedule.
And while it's not as big of a deal, the 6 month old a few weeks back as soon as the mom left I noticed he was congested and he was coughing a bunch. I texted her asking if she had noticed he was getting sick and she was like "oh yeah, he had a horrible cough last night." Like, sure, I'll still watch your kid with a cold, that's fine. But give me a heads up that I'm going to have a grouchy baby on my hands because he can't fall asleep for more than a two minute nap before waking up coughing.

Ohhhh it's totally worth it though! We sanded and painted a craigslist crib ($65 whoop whoop!) and it came out so awesome! You'll be really pleased that you did it. I am so happy with the outcome of ours!
I am not sure if this article will post right from FB but I believe it gets a WTFW to. I am all for "natural" births, I am all for midwives, home births, and birthing center births. But not naive to understand that hospitals are just as needed!! Some of the comments on the thread are ridiculous, it's a huge bashing of hospital births and how they are the reason for not bonding with your baby. I'm sorry no matter where you deliver your experience could end up traumatic, I think there is more going on with mom that is making it hard to not bond with a baby.
@Cook3133, that stuff makes me crazy! I think the whole "not being able to bond due to..." thing is incredibly insulting to families that have adopted and might not have had a chance to hold their LO's for hours, weeks, months... after birth. While I don't have experience with adopting, I have many friends and family who have, and I am confident that they are as bonded with their children as any non-intervention birth experience.
@Cook3133 that is absolute horse shit! The way I see it when people have to judge and tear down other people's way of doing things it means they aren't comfortable in what they themselves have done so the see the need to justify it somehow.

I saw this a while ago. I read through a lot of them and some women legitimately had some complaints (for lack of a better word), but there were some that made me roll my eyes. Some came off super judgey and made it seem like it is so shameful to not have a 'perfect' birth and that annoyed me. Circumstances can change so quickly during labor that not everything can happen as you had envisioned. That is part of life. You make the best of it, you learn from it, maybe even mourn a little, and you move on. I think that a more positive view of birth (hopefully empowering women and not scaring them) is a good thing, but the good message gets lost when people get too aggressive (again, lack of a better word) with their message. The feelings are valid, but could be expressed a little differently.
Hopefully that makes sense. It's the end of the day and my brain is tired. Ha ha
Reading comments to almost ANY social media post makes me say WTF on the regular. There are a lot of ppl without a lot of common sense, and with a ton of judgement that they feel compelled to share.
WTF is with all of these drive by posters??? Who are all these new members coming out of the woodwork? Why is TB holding me and other regs to the guidelines, but not the newbies? Hello new members... How about an intro to the community (per the guidelines)? How about using the search function (per the guidelines)? How about welcoming constructive criticism from the community and not throwing a fit when you don't get the answer you want (per the guidelines)? Just a thought... I wouldn't want to come off as unwelcoming.

seriously, WTF with all these new people posting things no one could possibly know the answers to!!
If there's something strange underneath the hood. Who you gonna call? Your Doctor. If there's something weird and it don't look good. Who you gonna call? Your Doctor. Immediately. If it's new, painful, and possibly pregnancy related get your ass off the internet and call your doctor. It's for your health and your child's.
Wtf to one of my regular customers at work who has to say "you're getting bigger everyday" no sh*t I'm getting bigger! That's what your suppose to do. I have even snapped at her a few times. She then likes to tell me how she only gained 10 pounds with each of her pregnancies. Who cares?! I've gained 25, my sister gained 45. Who gives a crap?! So over all the dumb ass comments or advice people try to give. Most of them are just idiots.
Wtf as in where the f does it say "Bump MD: Ask us we will diagnosis you for free." Most my medical knowledge comes from Dr House or those crazy ER shows. Yeah its my third kid but shit I had none of these issues how would I know if you okay or not.
Also wtf body why am I sleepy till I actually lay in bed then woohoo let's party.
WTF to my husband's schedule. I knew things were going to be a bit messy in the next little bit, but today he came home knowing more specifics about his field training schedule, and the amount of things between now and my due date is stressing me out. Like one three day field exercise in the middle of this month (sure a month before my due date, but with how things are going it stresses me out) that he may or may not be coming home at nights from or may just be gone. And a five day in November. Plus a few other day things. Which I mean, I am grateful my husband will still be here on this island (until January, but let's worry about that one later), but he will very likely be next to impossible to get ahold of should something happen, and then the logistical struggle of him getting released and back to me. I'm starting to have serious anxiety about the possibility of going into labor and him being unreachable. While I know that chances are decent that won't happen, this baby doesn't really seem to care too much about what is convenient.
Ok my WTF goes to myself for asking possibly the dumbest question ever on Monday night.. Yup I asked you ladies would it be a good idea to travel at almost 36 weeks with my history of preterm labor.. I then realized after I posted it and read of your comments that.. Quite possibly.. That may have been the dumbest question that I asked.. Ever.. However I do appreciate everybody's comments and the fact that everybody was nice with their responses even though that was a pretty stupid question..
Hahaha I love it. I really thought I was going to get away with no heartburn this time!! Now I want nothing to do with food. Even water is setting it off!
