Twatwaffle Tuesday.

Apparently I have a lot to complain about this week

Puberty is a twatwaffle. Between pregnancy hormones and what appears to be the start of DD's puberty hormones, we are a hot mess at my house. Although she will proclaim I. AM. NOT. GOING. THROUGH. PUBERTY!!! Ok child, your oily skin/hair, BO, sprouting boobs, and emotions say otherwise. DH doesn't know how to handle all this, and is super happy to be having a boy.

Every damn person who tells me that I look like I'm loosing weight, that I don't look pregnant or that I'm too small to be as far along as I am. I'm so tired of the body shaming- I can't change how I'm carrying this child and it's no ones business but mine and my doctors. I shouldn't have to assure people that this is a healthy pregnancy...

Parent teacher conferences every night this week. Ugggghhhh. My kids are really great, which makes it a lot easier, but I hate having to go back to school at night. It makes the week feel so damn long.

My twat waffle is my morning sickness that has decided to kill me this week. I have not been able to keep anything down since yesterday morning.

@DominiqueU Are there at least free refreshments? Free food might take the edge off of having to go back to work in the evening for me!

No!  I would love some refreshments. But instead it's usually just kind of a "Come yell at your child's teacher" night. At least all my families this year are pretty kind and understanding.

Ugh... sounds rough! Well good luck, and hopefully if you have good families this year, it'll make the time pass quickly. ...and maybe you can justify picking up a snack on the way home.

People who proclaim, "I KNEW IT!" when you tell them the sex of your baby. Or even worse, those that put in their bids for what THEY want the name to be. I know they're joking but STFU.

@ButterMyBiscuit I literally had a coworker tell me she knew it was a girl because my acne was horrible at first and it was this big I told you so moment for her. Congratulations lady you had a 50% chance of being correct. People are idiots

What's really bothering me this week is being so tired! And the hormones are in high drive. So I'm crying. A lot. Usually about being hungry and tired. Sigh

mamafox14

@ButterMyBiscuit ugh I hate when people say they "knew it". No you fucking didn't shut up stop talking just go away. I also don't like the name suggestions, because yeah I'm going to let someone else pick the name of my kid. Just shhhhhhhhhhh.

My twatwaffle is a parent of one of my students. I've sent several emails this year with updates on his behavior, and every single reply from her has been excuse after excuse for why he might not be following directions or trying his best or listening or talking back. Ugh! Just own up to it and maybe he will, too! Don't make excuses for poor behavior, instead, instill/model good behavior. Years ago they used to call parents "helicopter parents" for hovering. Now the new term is "lawnmower parents" - smoothing a clear, mess-free path for them to take so that they don't have to work too hard or struggle. Struggle is good! Grit and work ethic are important. Even in first grade.

Sorry for the long rant. Also, this is not to say all or even most parents are like this. I've only encountered one or two each year of my ten years teaching.

One of the clients I work with attends a daycare part time.  His behavior is not great there during his time without his 1:1.  The staff complains constantly, but refuses to implement the behavior plan we use and just generally reinforces his poor behavior making it harder for everyone.  It's stressful and annoying.  Either do what I suggest (that works!) or quit bitching at me and deal.

My twatwaffle today is DH. If something is going to get done at our house, I have to be the one to organize it. We're re-refinishing our basement after DH tried his hand at plumbing to save some money (BIG MISTAKE.) Who has called and met with the insurance adjuster, the plumber, and the general contractor? I'll give you one guess. So now that that's all out of the way, it's time to get the flooring back in. I call the installation company, and they say they'll have someone call me within 24 hours to schedule a time to come and take measurements and give a quote. I get a text from DH this afternoon saying the person will be at our house Thursday at noon (code for this is how I'm spending my lunch hour on Thursday). Of course the one time DH schedules something, he didn't bother to ask me what my schedule actually is beforehand, and I can't actually go home that day. I ask for the installer's number to reschedule, and he says, "Why did you have them call me, if you gave me information that wasn't accurate?" Well, buck-o, I didn't have them call you. I gave them my number. Andplusalso, I didn't give you misinformation, I gave you NO information, because you never schedule anything! Ugh.

DH is the TW today... we were going to sell our current dresser to buy a new once for the nursery but I got to thinking about painting it instead. (We could maybe get $150 for it on craigslist and then have to buy another one for $300-$400) So I did some research on Pinterest and it seems like it's not a huge deal... either sand it, prime it, paint it... or I found this product called velvetfinishes.com-it's expensive but you don't have to sand or prime! I told DH about it and all he said was "well, it'll look like shit" Oh... umm... ok... well, good talk. Dick.

3 patients in clinic were twat waffles. One ignored me when asking questions. He would not put down his phone or look me in the eye. The 2nd didnt want to talk to 'some girl, but the real Dr". Umm... 1). Fuk you. 2) The real Dr had me start the paper work. You see, I am a Family Nurse Practitioner Student... so this will be my job.... Then that asshole kept making uncomfortable comments. At the end, I went out to the printer, he then said that I was too 'frigid and update". Sorry dude, you mocking me and making sexual comments to me does not make me laugh.

The 3rd one was upset that the Dr talked to him about his flat tire, when he was not the only one in the room with one. As he was looking at me. At the end of the visit, I made sure he knew I was pregnant, not fat. I looked him in the eye and say "hey, atleast my belly will be gone when I delivery my child." He was so embarrassed and started to stutter. I just flipped my hair and waddled out of there.

I freaking hate people.

@DominiqueU and @jlmartinez517 I completely understand your tws. I had conferences in the fall for a full week until 9 at night. I also work at a school with a lot of entitled children, which means a lot of "lawnmower parents" (good no know this term bc I definitely deal with these people and didn't know the term for them). 

@PugsandKisses talk about rude! I'm glad you said something to make them realize how rude they were! 

TiffRox81

My naive co-workers....I seriously feel for my bosses and worry about what's going to happen to this place while I'm gone. I had one that didn't understand how to use a 2x4 large mailing label to go on packages/large envelopes, or our postage scale for anything above an envelope. The other has been here 5 months and lost her work key already. She used the other girl's key to make herself a new one and a spare "just in case" the same thing happens again. She then told me she planned to put the spare outside, as a hide a key. WTF!?!? I had to explain to her why that was a bad idea, and that people would still consider using it, EVEN THOUGH WE HAVE AN ALARM! Their stupidity never ceases to amaze me.

DH is my TW! I love him and he has been great but today I had it. I am stuck on bed rest and we don't know what's going to happen and everyone thinks it's so easy to lay around. But it sucks and the last person I need shit from is him. He is just mad that he has to do everything that I do and he realizes it's not easy. He was complaining about not having time for himself every day... I wanted to laugh at him! 

deuxbouledogues

Another teacher with twat waffle school problems. I am a SPED teacher with a full schedule, a sh*t ton of paperwork, and a caseload full of kids to teach/parent/feed/diaper/discipline/etc. I am always happy to support classroom teachers with behavior students (like brainstorming ideas) but that's not part of my job description. I am in no way required to clear my schedule to do this or provide materials on my dime. It's a courtesy I am providing because I am a decent person. End of story. The more you unfairly demand of me the less I suddenly am available. End rant.

My TW is my stupid co-worker. I work at a school setting up the science experiments, with 2 other workers. One is amazing- she's my best friend and I swear without her this department would burn down. The other is a guy who believes the department would burn down without him, but in truth would probably run better. Now said guy was being a toser this morning. I've came in whilst he was moving Lego Robotics kits from one building to another. He was just putting them into another teacher's room without any sort of protection. Keep in mind that these kits are worth $50 000. I asked him if he had put a note or something on the boxes so that no one touches them. He promptly slams down the trolley that was holding the kits, which causes the kits to fall off the trolley, open and spill all 500 pieces of each kit all over the floor. He then looks at me like I caused it and walked out. So I got the fun job of re-sorting these kits that I had already sorted. But he's the hero because he's moving them around the school. God damn it I was to slap him sooo bad.

My TW is morning sickness. After going 3 weeks without getting sick, I've been sick all day. Not cool body, not cool.

The professor who scheduled a class from 8:30-10:00 tonight is a TW. Dude, I'm pregnant and I'm usually in the middle of a REM cycle by the time 10 o'clock rolls around.  

LilLambie

@heathereaddy me too! I haven't thrown up in like 2 weeks, then it was so bad over the weekend I was hospitalised. Even now I am relying very heavily on anti-vomit medication.

We can hate on our bodies together yahh haha.

mamafox14

I'm the twat today, or just everything happening to me haha. My husband's band is playing a show tonight and getting ready to go out was an emotional rollercoaster because none of my jackets fit right except my rain coat which looked stupid with my dress. Then we came out and I ate a delicious voodoo doughnut that was chocolate filled with vanilla fluff and covered in Golden Grahams cereal with a side of chocolate milk so I was happy again. Then the opening band started and it was terrrrrible house/dance techno that was so loud I couldn't take it so I went outside. But then everyone outside was smoking and it made me feel like I was going to vomit. So now I'm sitting in my car because existence does not agree with me today. 

ETA: after all that complaining my baby kicked me like ten times really hard so I guess things aren't so bad after all.

my TW are these stupid blood screens.  I did the panorama 3 times and it kept coming back inconclusive so my Dr. send me to the High Risk Dr in the practice and he did the Informaseq test.  After waiting for over 2 weeks for results it's also inconclusive.  The Dr. then told me we have to do an Amnio if I want results for down syndrome and a bunch of other things so we did that on Wednesday last week.  It was scary and only a little painful but now it's almost a week later and they still don't have the results in.  They said 3-4 days.  =(  My anatomy scan is this Friday so at least we will know the sex by then.  On the plus side I have been feeling baby move a ton and I'm feeling good~ less tired than I have been.  Just dying to know if it's a boy or a girl and that it's healthy.  Hoping for the best and pissed I wasted almost 8 weeks on blood screenings that didn't work.

This week has been full of twatwaffles but the most special one is the client I am working for. As an interior designer, you hire me to do all the work and the design - not so you can consult the contractor on the changes, doesn't work like that!!! Only a few more weeks until this is complete, but until then give me strength!

FTM, and the unsolicited pregnancy advice is starting to roll in...coworker told me to shower 2-3 times a day to avoid stretch marks, and that if I'm tired on the weekends from running errands or doing housework I must be low on iron, and I adjusted my shirt in front of her and she said to stop itching bc that will give me stretch marks too. I had no idea people would be so concerned about my body and if I get stretch marks!
