Limited activity and baby showers are twat waffles today. 

Boston is coming to concert in Augusta on Aug 7th - the day of my baby shower, but even if it wasn't that day, I wouldn't be able to go because #standing. I am now SO SAD. It's more than just a feeling. 

ETA: I fat finger everything.

My husband's high school friend is a Twatwaffle! She's having an affair and, for whatever reason, doesn't want to come clean to her husband about who the guy is, so she's saying it's my husband. Her husband has now contacted me because he "felt I should know", attempted to get a restraining order against my husband, and now contacted my husband's boss to tell him that my husband was using a work phone to harass this chick. It's all bs and my brother in law even knows who the real guy is, but her husband refuses to believe it and she refuses to come clean. And this is after my husband has been a good friend to this chick for a good 20 years. I really hope karma gets this biatch in the end.

my ex is a twatwaffle. 

Ran into town to go to the bank/store/pick up a donut. Somehow ran into ex (not literally) who actually tries to greet me. (We had ended on really really bad terms and have not spoken since we broke up 1.5 years ago/the whole relationship was actually a disaster) 

I kept walking past but it flustered me so much I forgot to go to the shop to buy a donut.

Senator Sanders supporters who call themselves liberals but parrot Republican talking points on Facebook.  I get it.  You're upset that your candidate didn't win.  But the DNC didn't rig the primary.  (I've read every article that says they did and there's not one quote from the emails that shows the DNC did anything to "rig" any election.) Secretary Clinton is not corrupt.  Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders did not "sell out."  If you want Trump to win the election, that's your right.  But own that you don't care about your own principles enough to be pragmatic and vote for the person who shares most of those principles.  Own the fact that you're angry and you just want revenge on the majority of liberals who voted for Secretary Clinton.  Stop blaming everyone else for the fact that your candidate got fewer votes than the other candidate.  He lost fair and square.

(Note that this doesn't apply to Republicans who actually support Donald Trump.  That's a whole other issue, but at least they own up to their motives.)

Ankle swelling is a TW... I no longer have an ankle bone to speak of and there's a ledge where the swelling just stops and the bottom part of my foot starts. And it's been this way since about 9am soooo... Today should be interesting.

@sjo_thetwins I feel your pain- I bought pre sale tickets to the lumineers and its in September and I'm not going to be able to go! 

mrszoess

@krzyriver idk how you haven't ratted her out yet.

krzyriver

@mrszoess My brother in law contacted her husband via FB message and spilled everything, but he never responded and then blocked both him and my husband. I'm not blocked so I could probably say something, but if he's not going to believe someone who was actually very close friend's with this chick, he's not going to believe the wife of the supposed lover. So I just pray that they're all talk and aren't actually planning to file a restraining order. I imagine they would need some kind of proof to do it, but I don't actually know. Maybe her word is good enough.... ?

krzyriver

I cant help but crack up every time I tell this story to someone tho, even tho it enrages me. Because it sounds like total MUD. Or something out of a soap opera. Lol

scostel2

@krzyriver has your husband spoken to the friend and told her to clear the air? Because that's really not cool on her part..... 

kelliott09

@krzyriver I assume it's the same everywhere, I dunno. But here, if you request an order of protection, you have to go to court WITH the person you are requesting protection against. You have to tell your side and the judge has to agree that they're a threat and you need protection from them. I'm not sure this would qualify. What has your husband done? Hurt his feelings? Also, this sounds insane. What's the benefit of her admitting the affair but not the right guy? Why say it's your husband, how is that any better? I was in a marriage for 7 years and eventually found out he had been cheating for about 5 of those years. Over that time, I heard a lot things about him and his "friends." He seemed to only have female friends. But he always had a good excuse and I brushed it all off. I'm not saying this is your case at all but if I could go back and do it over, I would've put more stock into what I heard, things that were right under my nose and not been so naive and trusting. You need to talk directly to this girl and see what she says!

BluMommy

@krzyriver that's some BS right there. I would have ripped that chick a new one from dragging y'all into that drama. You have enough to deal with just being pregnant.

Also, sorry to say, this baby of mine is a TW. She has put herself in a position where she is agitating the left sciatic nerve, so every step with my left leg is excruciating and it feels like my coccics is fractured. Fun stuff going on over here!

Agreed here. Also, given those random texts you talked about receiving previously, this would set off some serious red flags for me.

Haha I was wondering if I could nominate my tiny human as a TW, b/c let me tell ya her awesome position is also wreaking havoc on my sciatic nerve and digestive system. Yay for pain, no sleep and diarrhea. 

krzyriver

@kelliott09 Her husband is saying my DH is harassing her. Calling her constantly and showing up at her work. I tried to get a PPO a few years ago against a therapist that was threatening me and I went to the courthouse alone, so I don't think you have to go to court with the person here. Because the only reason mine was denied was that they decided I hadn't been explicit enough in telling the guy to stay away from me. I'm assuming she's lying about who it is so she can continue the affair with the actual guy, but who knows. But I'm seriously not worried that my husband is cheating. The girl's story doesn't add up, she's told a completely different story to every single person involved. Plus, she ignored me after her initial response. I feel like if this was actually true, she'd come forward with actual proof of the affair or at least continue the conversation further instead of just saying "I had an affair with your husband" and then disappearing.

@BluMommy I've never wanted a rip a woman's hair out as much as I do right now. Lol. And my baby is a total TW too. Mine stays up in my ribs and knocks the wind out of me.

@scostel2 He doesn't even want to contact her because her husband is threatening that PPO. My brother-in-law did but she ignored it and blocked him. The anonymous texts from before were from jealous exes that wanted to break us up. And because of them, my husband is an open book. So as soon as I told him that the husband contacted me, he handed his phone over and told me to look through everything. I didn't even bother. First of all, he is technologically clueless, he wouldn't even know how to hide things, so there's no way he'd hand it over if he was actually guilty. Plus his boss sent the phone records to us so that we could use them in court if necessary. He has never called anyone from his work phone other than me and his boss. And the day and time that he supposedly showed up at her work, he was with me the entire day. The whole thing is bs. My husband is far from perfect, but I trust him 100% on this.

My apple TV is a TW. I watched Stranger Things on Netflix last week and then watched The Fall. Between those two shows, I'm in a sci-fi/Gillian Anderson mood so I thought I'd watch X-Files. I swear, I've started the Pilot episode 15 times and my apple TV freezes 3 seconds in EVERY TIME. I've tried watching other things and it doesn't freeze, go back to X-Files, it freezes again. It's obviously the Aliens.

Haha @samkins... I say you're allowed. At least until she's out of the womb also, the baby was going nuts just now, to where my belly was moving all over the place. So after seeing it, DH put his hand there and I asked if he was trying to make her stop lol... Of course she did. He shook his head and told me to add THAT to our BF thread lol. He doesn't know about TW Tuesday.

My twatwaffle today is my mother, who just announced she is planning on "popping over" right after the birth. NO YOU ARE NOT! I have no emotional connection to her and I need that time for me and DH to bond with our first child. 
And my second twatwaffle is myself, because at 29 years old and an ocean away, I still could not say no. I said something lame about how that's probably not the best time because baby will still be adjusting.

krzyriver

@books&icecream Ugh, I'm so sorry. That sucks. I can't say no either, especially when it's family. Has she bought her ticket yet? Maybe you can talk her out of it??

booksandicecream

@krzyriver No, I don't think so but she has the luxury to be able to afford a last-minute ticket so I'm going to have to come up with some way to shut this down 

queen_frostine

I'm not sure who is the twattiest waffle today, but my husband contacted his mother since he was in the town she lives/works in (30 minutes away) for his work. He then finds out that his brother and family are coming into town *this weekend* TO SEE US. So they are coming into town for the purpose of seeing us, without telling us or talking to us first or checking to see if we are in fact available? And his mother didn't tell us this when she first found out - who knows when she would have told us if he didn't actually call her? This is also typical of his family. You should also see the lengthy list of people from his side that didn't even RSVP to my baby shower. *sigh* So now I not only have a full week of extra errands every day in addition to work, I get to go somewhere on Saturday.

@ignoscemihi.
I'm probably going to get flamed for this but just my two cents not that anyone asked for it. XD
You can count me as one of those bitter Sander supporters but I don't consider myself a liberal or republican. No I don't want Trump, but I also do NOT want Hillary. I do not trust her to carry out the agenda her and Sanders both came up with and if you honestly believe Hillary isn't corrupt please look into it, one example would be the Clinton foundation. 
The DNC was biased from the start, if they would have followed in Tulsi Gabbards steps and resigned to support a candidate like they're suppose to, it wouldn't have been such a big deal. Please look into DWS and who she is now working for after stepping down...
Also, he DID NOT lose fair and square. There is a reason why states are being investigated for voter fraud. Multiple voters were turned away at there polling places or there party preferences were switched with out there approval. Also, he losing states he won in the primary thanks to super delegates, which I think we should abolish anywho but everyone is entitled to their own opinion when it comes to that.
And you're right I can vote for someone who is just like Sanders and woman (since that seems to be a big deal).... Jill Stein. 

ignoscemihi

@Ashleymn You can vote for Jill Stein, but you have to know she has no chance of winning.  But if you aren't a Democrat, and you had no intention of voting for the Democratic candidate before Sanders ran, then my rant doesn't really apply to you.  I'm frustrated with Democrats who are either not voting, voting for a third party, or voting for Trump because they're angry.

The Clinton Foundation gets an A rating from Charity Watch.  88% of their budget goes to programs and only $2 is spent on advertisement for every $100 spent.  The Clinton Foundation does important work to reduce malaria, fight childhood obesity and fight climate change to name just a few examples.  https://www.factcheck.org/2015/06/where-does-clinton-foundation-money-go/  The only people attacking the charity are Republicans - and now angry Sanders supporters. 

Debbie Wasserman-Schultz wasn't hired by the Clinton campaign, if that's what you're driving at.  https://www.dailykos.com/story/2016/7/25/1551930/-Debbie-Wasserman-Schultz-did-not-get-promoted-and-she-s-not-running-Hillary-s-campaign

I think you mean voter suppression, not voter fraud.  And the voter suppression alleged was implemented by Republicans and affected voters from both camps, but mostly Clinton voters.  See, for example, Arizona and Brooklyn.  A Republican cut the number of polling places in Maricopa County from 200 to 60.  And the biggest group affected, Hispanics, voted overwhelmingly for Clinton in Arizona.  The Brooklyn purge was implemented by a Republican, and it mostly affected black voters (in which demographic Clinton won by 50 points) and Hispanic voters (Clinton won by 38 points).  So she disenfranchised her own voters?  https://www.thenation.com/article/the-democratic-primary-wasnt-rigged/

Super delegates didn't give Clinton the win, either.  She won the popular vote and she won the most pledged delegates.  And Sanders succeeded in changing the super delegate rules for the next election, so that's a win for him.

This frustrates me to no end.  It's especially frustrating to me to know that no matter how many links I post or facts I point out, it won't matter to some people.  There will always be another talking point pulled from The Daily Caller or Breitbart that have now somehow made their way into the mouths of Sanders supporters.  I think maybe I'm too pregnant to internet responsibly.

ashleymn-2

@ignoscemihi I'm too tired to respond to all this. Point being I didn't watch the DNC after Hillary got enough votes to be their nominee so I'll give you that I did NOT know Sanders succeeded with super delegates. I am happy about that; however, there were a lot of thing wrong with this election cycle when it comes to corruption and I may just sound like a nut but to me the nuts are people who refuse to acknowledge that. I have my personal opinions about Clinton that google search (who by the way have been found to be a supporter of clinton) won't change.

Well this is Wednesday but I don't care. My SIL is my twatwaffle. She is a taker, from everyone. She is a single mom who left an emotionally abusive husband almost 3 years ago, but feels owed by the universe and has a really hard time picking herself up by her bootstraps and bettering her life. For example, she won't look for a better job even though she hates hers. She lives at my inlaws, with her 2 kids (kids are part time) and assumed last summer her boyfriend could move in. No talk with my inlaws, just went with it. (They have since broken up anyway) She drove MIL's car (a lease) because she didn't have her own. She relied on MIL to babysit at a moment's notice, and sometimes would just take off without saying how long she'd be gone. I tried to have no issues with this as my inlaws allowed it all, but it frustrated me to no end to see my inlaws taken advantage of like that.

DH and I do take the help of our inlaws when it's offered, but I am always sure to be almost overly grateful and just let them know how much I appreciate anything they can do (like they bought us our travel system - super helpful!)

Inlaws have a great house for summer parties: huge backyard, inground pool, massive trampoline. We host some parties there, but never ask for anything more than the use of the property (and it's summer, so we stay outside). I always provide our food and clean up before and after.

So here's my problem today: MIL asked how she can help with the shower (we're being tacky and throwing our own BabyQ get together). SIL proceeds to go off on DH about how much are we asking for? And MIL has health problems and she can't help clean and FIL is always working blablabla all stuff we know, and all stuff quite honestly that is none of her business. My inlaws will do what they can and DH and I will be grateful as always and it never has to even involve SIL. She even has to work that day so it's not like she's going to be there anyway! I'm just so irritated that after all she's put them through, she dares shove her nose into this.

I almost lost it; thank God I wasn't there in person (DH texted me about it).

Sorry this was so long, I feel bad ranting to DH about his family, even though he knows they are nuts sometimes. I love his SIL usually, but this instance, with my pregnancy hormones, just got my panties all in a twist!
