TW Tuesday

Who is your's today?

av2323

My sister.  She is about to be 30 and was never made to grow up.  She fought for full disability at an early age so now lives off about $700 a month.  She recently became up to her eyeballs in pay day loan debt so I offered to let her live in our basement until she gets caught up.  Instead of paying her debts she is now blowing what little money she has on nipple piercings and clothing appropriate for teenagers.  To top it off, I just found out she has been asking our neighbors (people I don't even know well as we just bought the house not too long ago) for rides to McDonald's and the gas station daily.  I don't even know what to do at this point.  It must be nice to live with zero shame.

@av2323 omg that's awful.

DuchessOfCambridge

@av2323 just...wow. So sorry you're having to deal with that, but you sound like an amazing sister to yours.

av2323

@heatherdubrow & @DuchessOfCambridge  My whole family is going crazy!  I also gave her a deadline of June 1st to be out so hopefully that kicks her in gear.

My TW today is Glinda the good witch in the original Wizard of Oz movie.  My son is obsessed with it right now and I let him watch a little while I was blow drying my hair this morning.  Why does Glinda tell Dorothy she has to go see the wizard in order to go home but then at the end she's like, "You had the power to go home the whole time"?!  What a TW.

DuchessOfCambridge

@kschref I actually laughed out loud at yours. You're so right though.

My cat is a TW. She's the monster under my futon.

My TW is all of these people who want to join a Facebook group with people they don't know. Why the rush? Let's get to know each other and weed out the weirdos first. I absolutely wouldn't join a group that just anyone could join. Internet safety people!

My TWs are ALL the pre-school assistants that called in sick on the same day and left me in charge of their rowdy crowd of 3-5s. And because I'm not quite on the edge enough with the MS and fatigue... they had music this morning and it was 30 minutes of rotating through banging on different kinds of drums.

@av2323 omg that is terrible. Ugh.

BayCamp

Mine is the lady I babysit for. I've got her 18mo 3 days a week. She asked me to watch him today on an off day, no problem. Last night she asks if he can come 3 HOURS early. I get paid daily, not hourly, but whatever I said ok. After setting an alarm and getting my 2yo up she texts me it will actually only be an hour early. Wtf lady? I'm puking and exhausted and could have slept longer!

The lady in the cube by mine is a TW for the food she brings. First of all, she eats sardines for breakfast. And I have no idea what she eats for lunch but it smells awful. I could barely handle it before, but now I might puke in my trash can. If you are going to eat smelly food, go to the break room, don't sit at your desk!

BayCamp

@daisymae6215 oh goodness. I would have to ask her to stop. The smell alone would have me puking at my desk! 

daisymae6215

@BayCamp That's rude! I hate when people change the time at the last minute. 

@heatherdubrow I'm with you on the FB group thing. Let's all get to know one another and develop some friendships before we jump into a group anyone can join.

kschref

@DuchessOfCambridge - Haha, don't even get me started on children's shows.  Like, Daniel Tiger, his father, and his grandfather don't wear pants but his mother does?  #sexist  

DuchessOfCambridge

Mine is people who are in TTGP for a hot second and then decide everyone there cares about their BFP. I lurked and was part of the community enough to know I should quietly move to my BMB. You definitely were not at all a part of the community if you think posting once and then announcing your BFP is ok, and you weren't thinking about anyone's feelings - which you would have been sympathetic to had you read ANYTHING those ladies had to say!

heatherdubrow

@DuchessOfCambridge preach! Seriously, wtf is wrong with people?

adirat

@DuchessOfCambridge Right? And then to be so nasty about it? Also...does she think nobody in November knows about what she did? 

jess0211

@DuchessOfCambridge what did I miss?! Was someone mean to our lovely TTGP ladies?! It looks like all the posts were removed for TOU violation. 

heatherdubrow

Yea @adirat the nastiness and sorry not sorry was what got me.

DuchessOfCambridge

@jess0211 someone who posted literally one time on TTGP in a TWW thread decided to post about her BFP that she got really quickly in the March TTGP Grad Check In. First of all, not even the right grad thread. Second of all, while BFPs are wonderful don't post in any grad threads, no one cares about you and your one post.

jess0211

@DuchessOfCambridge smh. I don't even know what would possess someone to do that honestly. And to be nasty to those ladies, just no. 

DuchessOfCambridge

@jess0211 and then to go on and say "I won't apologize for being pregnant or for not struggling to get pregnant" just

av2323

I am sorry ladies.  That is just awful.  I am so happy each of you got your BFP's

Sorry to the TTGP Ladies for having to deal with that today

My TW is me for having a super "dumb blonde" moment. I did our taxes this year with our filing status as "married filing jointly," but then submitted two returns- one for my H and one for me about 2 weeks ago. His was accepted, but mine was rejected because his SSN was already submitted. I realized about 2 days ago that "jointly" means the "same return"....So now, I have to file an amended return and go to H and R Block in person to make sure we are still getting our refund and that it's completed correctly
