I have two this week...

WTF to the AC company that can not figure out what the heck is wrong with my AC unit. Yep, that's right ladies, I am now 2 weeks with no air conditioning and I live in Florida. I really love having to go home and sit with the repair guys every single day while they try one thing that doesn't work and then another thing that doesn't work. I love not being able to get my job done in a timely fashion, to the point that I will most likely be at the office all weekend in an attempt to get caught up. Super awesome.

WTF to the phlebotomist who did my GD blood draw today. I know I have difficult veins and almost no one gets me on the first shot but dear god, why would you think sticking the needle in and then wiggling it around hoping to catch the vein would be a good idea? OUCH lady! You were very nice and I'm not mad but that seriously hurt!

WTF to my co-worker who has twice now decided to suggest that asking for a c-section would be a great way to go because "then you know exactly what day you will have the baby!".... Ummmm yeah, because thats a GREAT reason to schedule a c-section!!!???? Mind you she is middle aged with no children so she has no idea, and I'm sure the idea seems amazingly brilliant to her but seriously? If I end up having one because I needit I'm fine with that, but no way am I scheduling unnecessary surgery just so I know my exact due date. Massive Eye Roll.

I'm cranky today so I'm happy to say WTF to anyone and everyone. I need to stop replying to emails because they've all had some nice snarky tones. Good thing mine just go to internal people and not clients

Wtf to people walking on the wrong side of the hallway. I've almost been run into twice today from turning a corner and someone walking on my side of the hall! Super annoying.

#1- WTF to my property management.

Hubby and I are currently in a studio, so obviously we gotta move soon. A few weeks ago, hubby was sent an email saying that they had an "offer" for us to move into another unit, one that we know is a large 1 bed, no need for security deposit or anything, and we'd be paying $80 more a month, but we figured it was worth it. We were ecstatic things were looking up after struggling immensely to find a new place, but I was worried because they have a history of just not being good. I was right to worry.

During the walkthrough, the lady let it slip that they were converting it back into two units. We were never told this at any other point. Instantly, we knew we couldn't take the unit. I mean, I'm six and a half months pregnant. We gotta get a new place and get baby stuff. We cannot live with a baby in a 250sqft studio. The next day, hubby told them in the nicest way possible, "thanks but no thanks". A day later, he got a response saying either we take it or we have to get the eff out. So we're screwed into having to take it. We're not even going to have the room to buy a crib until we get to move, which if we find a place ASAP will basically be right before my baby shower which isn't until I'm 36 weeks exactly. No nursery, no nothing until then. We don't have the space for necessities and it's really starting to wear me down at this point since everything is going wrong.

They know I'm 26 weeks pregnant, and they don't care. All they want is money for the same awful unit, just with a fresh coat of paint. Pffft. Which means we'll also be screwed into breaking a lease very, very soon. This was the last thing we needed right now and I'm beyond stressed out.

#2- WTF to the lady in Publix. 

I was in Publix with my MIL picking something up for BIL for his birthday. This lady saw me backing up the cart to go around as we could not get through, and I'm very obviously pregnant now. She didn't care. She stopped her cart right in my way and walked a few feet in front of me to pick something up. She made it so I couldn't get around. She saw me, and saw that she was blocking me. She just didn't care. So what do I do? I pick up the end of her cart and physically move it to the side so I could get through. I was tired, I was hungry, I had to pee, everything hurt, and I am 26 weeks pregnant. I am done dealing with people's crap like that. If someone is going to be that rude to me, I'll be rude back. I don't even care. I don't think she ever looked back at me, but she mouthed "wow..." to herself as she walked back to her cart like I just was mad at her for no reason and she was a victim. Like, whatever. You know what you did, and I'm not going to be a pushover when people try to pull this kind of crap. You brought this upon yourself, and I hope you never try to mess with a pregnant woman again.

@rspalding001 That is insane! I can't believe that's even a discussion she thinks is "work place" chat.

WTF SIL! Too long and too many details someone might recognize. Ugh.

Anyone else have a nutty, awful, annoying, and delusional SIL?

flash86

Yes!!! And she's a giant hemorrhoid in everyone's ass and of course she's pregnant since I'm pregnant.  She does it every time.

Wtf to a lot of women out there in the world today. I'm tired of reading social media rants about how their lives are so complicated by their children, as if somehow they didn't realize that having babies leads to bigger, time consuming kids. All the whining about grocery bills and after school activities and no sleep and being exhausted and dirty houses. Yes. Yep. Bingo. This is life. And all this "be thankful you only have 1 or 2" Crap I read is nonsense too. Some people only have 1 or 2 by choice.. because it works best for them. Some only have 1 or 2 because of factors out of their control. You decided to have these kids.. welcome to the party. Will it always be easy? No. But you dove into this knowing what you were doing and it's not your kids fault.. so enough with how expensive they are and how you never have alone time or time for "expensive vacations or nice dinners." Be thankful that you have beautiful children to hug and tuck into bed.

This doesn't include the occasional daily "girl I'm too tired for this shit" talk amongst girl friends and family. That's just normal. But the Facebook whining is over the top.

that's my biggest issue with social media these days. It's just an open platform for complaining and bitching that we didnt have 10 years ago (or rather wasn't as prevalent). Now we have so many platforms to share every thought that comes in our heads or to make posts like you're talking about looking for attention/sympathy from people it gets old!

YES! And she wants to visit us this month. We are in the middle of remodeling a house and moving and she is upset that her husband travels for work so she wants to travel too. However, it is well known by everyone that she does not like my husband and I, and we don't like her in return. Everything is a competition, yet I never know that we are competing because we have nothing in common and live on opposite sides of the country. When I got pregnant with our first she told family members, "Why can't she (me) just let me do something first?" Um, she was married first 3 years before my husband and I. When I started my master's degree she had to re-start hers just to finish before me. Now that we have bought a house and have a second on the way she is starting stuff again. Thus the constant texts asking when she can visit this month.

My mom scheduled a repeat c-section with me (9 days before her due date) and I came 2 days before it. My mom's doc was out of town and so another doc did it. There are no guarantees. Crazy lady.

jmama1611

@camcbeth hopefully you can avoid a visit with your SIL. 

I don't get the whole competition thing at all!

My SIL always acts like everything is a competition: size of one's home, material goods, size/weight of babies, etc. Little does she know that she's the only one caring to compete and that it makes her annoying.

WTF DH. I ordered some wipes from Amazon bc I had some credits to use so I paid almost nothing out of pocket and it is something we will need. He saw it and is like why did you buy those, people will buy us stuff so stop spending money. I took his arm and pointed him to the video monitor he decided he had to have for the baby before giving a chance to register for it - and of course right after he bought it his friend was like oh dang I was planning to get you guys a video monitor as a gift. but noooo my $10 pack of wipes is somehow a big deal compared to his $150 monitor. 

camcbeth

hahah @jmama1611 I so agree that's how they seem annoying. Oh don't get me started on the material goods that create competition. She tricked me asking to know the make and model of the crib we had, saying it was because she liked it so much. Then proceeded to look it up to find out the cost only to know her monetary limit to ask the in-laws for items (Doesn't sound so bad as I look at those last sentences, but when it happened and how it played out my husband was so mad). Oh, and I'm due November 3rd, but she's made it clear to the family she will be very upset if our second is born in the month of October. It's the month her one and only was born. Because I can control that?!

jenesiso

I would've told her to eff off. You guys are a lot stronger than I am lol

let me get this straight, so she basically figured how how much the ILs spent on a gift for you guys and then asked for items totaling that amount from them as well? WOW.  If that's how this works then I've got a lot of presents to recoup cuz I know the ILs bought most of the nursery stuff for the other two having kids earlier this year and we just got a pack n play. Better start asking for more (JK!!)

camcbeth

yep @kvruns. She wanted to know how much she could ask for and I fell for it thinking, "Wow, she actually likes something we have?!" I was wrong. However, as much as my MIL bugs me about things I never worry about the value of things or asking for stuff. My MIL can be very generous and I am appreciative of what she does for us (even though at times I get annoyed). This time around because I helped them buy a new house they bought me a rocking chair. I'd love for my SIL to find out and work that one. haha!

jenesiso

Wtf work. That's all I need to say.

A coworker tells me I have a mean placenta every day. Lol...she said she named hers Tammy, I think I'll name mine Lawanda. Lol

brownylover

Wtf to my mom.. She bought me a few really cute baby gowns and a swaddle me sack. I loved them of course, except for the fact she said that they're to go home in. I proceeded to tell her that I wouldn't be able to use them to go home in because I have to clip her in the car seat. She then said, "what are you talking about? You can just swaddle her up and put the buckle over her arms." (Without buckling between the legs.) I was shocked. I told her that's unheard of & super dangerous. After that she got upset and said she's "never heard of buckling a newborn in fully and if it were up to her she would just hold the baby." I understand her point of that the baby is shocked by her new environment and will be more comfortable swaddled.. But there are ways to tuck the blanket in afterwords to get that effect. Plus the drive won't be very long! I'd rather not have the chance of hurting my little one if anything were to happen.. At least I'm the mommy and what I say goes! Along with the law!  

jmama1611

@brownylover sometimes you just need to laugh over stuff mums say.

Not to scare you though, but a friend of mine had her parents unbuckle their toddler and drive around town because the toddler "didn't like being confined". Wtf. Mentioning this just in case your mum watches your little one alone - I'd be making sure she realizes how important car seats are.
