Twatwaffle Tuesday (5.2.17)

natleilynn

C'mon, y'all. Where's your waffles of twats at?

mrs_fogue

+1 to @natleilynn for getting this started.  I kept waiting!

No waffles here yet, although waffles do sound super yummy!

natleilynn

Women.

I feel like 99% of my complaints revolve around my lunchtime walks, but seriously.  I stop at every road crossing (it's a business park so one big circle with several entrances to buildings), even if there's a crosswalk.

The men? Stop. Way in advance sometimes. Completely unnecessary sometimes - they might even have the rightaway - and they'll wave me through.

The women? Step on the gas, even when I'm getting ready to get into a crosswalk, and stare me down as I jump back on the sidewalk.

@mrs_fogue I prefer my waffles with chocolate, but yessssssss to food!

Headaches are twattwaffles. 
Also on my way to IHOP for lunch exclusively for waffles.

DD is a twatwaffle. She straight up just peed on the living room carpet for no reason. Guys, I'm gonna lose it.

I agree! Peanut butter and chocolate.

This last week of the semester is a major twatwaffle. Too much to do, and no motivation to do any of it!

@sdarling2010 that is the worst. 

My twatwaffle. 
Prepping to put our house on the market. 
Such a PITA

mrs_fogue

I sorta/not really have one, my grandmother who watches DD some for me if our sitter has to be out, told me that she bought DD panties for this summer.  She want's to put her in them to see if they help potty train. (she also put DD in pull ups before she had even shown interest in the potty.)  I want to try these things on my own terms first!  But I also don't have the heart to argue with my granny. 

ladyglittersparkles

Dangit granny! Can you just tell her. "How about we wait for that? We have a plan in place for when it is time to PT" (even if you don't have a plan yet)

jessafishy

All of you who are making me crave waffles in the middle of the afternoon.

VLillyV

@jessafishy +1 here. Thanks guys. Breaking my heart!

feeislove

I have some frozen waffles in the freezer 

You know those people who can't admit wrongdoing even when it's obvious they've hurt someone's feelings? They pretend the other person's feelings are not their responsibility and continue acting like they've done nothing wrong? Yeah. Today's twatwaffle.

Our family just be related bc my mom and grams insist on taking the diaper off DS everyone they come. "Let him air it out" or "he'll learn to use the potty sooner" uhmm no, he just runs around grabbing his weewee and peeing all over the floor. Which I have to clean up! Ugh they're twat waffles for shizzle.

My poor DH's back is my twatwaffle. It went out on him yesterday and he is currently barely able to walk, let alone take care of himself or our toddler. So yeah, just pregnant me, getting all the stuff done.

TallMomma29

chik fil a for not serving breakfast after 10:30.  I desperately needed a breakfast biscuit at 10:40.  

Brambles23

Maternity clothes shopping claims the TW title
today, especially since it's clothing you'll only wear for a few months (and again if you have more than one kiddo).  

dajocl

@TallMomma29 I'm just going to be over here pretending thats not what I had for breakfast. 

ariz17

@mrs_fogue & @natleilynn Omg these waffle GIFs. I need waffles!

canonmom413

I just got to work..... sure! make the pregnant lady do the vacuuming and dusting and trash emptying in addition to all the phone calls and customer dealing with. I'm grumpy. Who's the real TW ? Me or work?  Ugh 

mrs_fogue

@canonmom413 obviously work!

sjohns908

@mrs_fogue ugh my mom and MIL do this too! My parents kept the kids overnight last weekend, I sent diapers with and my mom only put DD2 in pull ups. I've already told her to quit because we're not potty training yet. And my MIL went and got her a pack of underwear. Uhm, hi, I'm the mom and maybe I wanted to take her out when she is READY to PT as an incentive and to get her excited. Now it's just something that sits in her drawer. 

@TallMomma29 I was just complaining to dh that CFA needs to serve breakfast later because I always want a spicy biscuit but can't manage to get out of the house early enough. 

ForwardnBackward

I hate to call MIL TW since she really can do no wrong most of the time, BUT this weekend she wouldn't give DS the bread DH bought because it contained sucrolose (artificial sweetners) so she went and bought a new loaf.  Woman, my kid has dairy, egg, and peanut allergies - I try to focus on avoiding those ingredients. It's not always easy.  Back off on the imposing of your beliefs regarding the harm of sweetners

megggosaurusrex

+1 on the headaches...and NOSEBLEEDS? No one ever told me about those lovely things showing up in trimester 2.

VLillyV

@ForwardnBackward looks like MIL will not be getting the bag of ingredients from now on, eh? I'd rather have sweetener then an allergic reaction!!!

tyannej

My TW for the day is our electricity. It just randomly shut off, and has been off for over 2 hours...no one knows what's wrong or when it's coming back on...

VLillyV

@tyannej ugh! That's so annoying!!!

ForwardnBackward

@VLillyV she's excellent actually when it comes to DS allergies.  She cooked an entire Thanksgiving dinner that was DS-friendly.  This was just kinda judgy-annoying, not unsafe.

VLillyV

@ForwardnBackward ohhh ok, my apologies!

ForwardnBackward

None needed @VLillyV

Late TW coming in for my OB office. I love my CNM and all of the nurses, but the woman who does the bill collecting is a real waffle twat. I had an extra appt a week and a half ago because of a little spotting and she made me feel like a itinerant degenerate for not being prepared to pre-pay the entire $3200 delivery bill RIGHT THEN. I told her I'd pay at my regularly scheduled appt today (which I did) and she gave me a judgy look. Prepaying for delivery at 16 weeks is for the birds.

TallMomma29

Prepaying $3200 for delivery?? Is this a common thing? I've never heard of that!

bluejeanbabi05

@TallMomma29 my deductible is $3500, ugh, so the amount unfortunately is probably accurate. When I found out I'd have to prepay I asked here and apparently it's common. Sucks!

sjohns908

@bluejeanbabi05 our deductible is $2k but I've never had a delivery be the entire amount of my deductible 

sjohns908

Ok. Hang on. Whhhhhy am I now a "-2"? Ugh. Bump Gods are now my TW for the day 

curlyq423

My TW is our daycare. We had a plan my husband would take a day off a week and we would only pay two days a week for
Daycare (I only work 3 days a week). Well, when inquiring about prices, they informed us infants are either 3 days or full time (which is 4 and 5 days). I know the extra day doesn't seem like a lot, but it's a $45 difference a week....times two. Ugh. We would be paying $575 for 3 kids going three days a week. We don't have family close to help so that's not an option. I can't quit my job bc I make more and carry our benefits. So my husband is thinking about staying home, but I know that's not what he really wants. 

sjohns908

@curlyq423 daycare costs never cease to astound me. $575 a week for only 2 days?! Who makes that much money in expendable income in a week, let alone 2 days?

Have you looked into any home daycares? Those are usually a lot more reasonable

buttercream_frosting

@curlyq423 Yikes. $575 a week is HUGE for just 2 days. I am so sorry this is your position. US government needs to subsidise for working parents.

curlyq423

@sjohns08-2 and @buttercream_frosting Crap, I meant 3 days a week (fixing that). But still expensive! We are now looking into in home for at least the twins. Our son loves his preschool class at the daycare he's at, so at least leave him there. 

buttercream_frosting

@curlyq423 Still expensive! Australian government will pay 50% of your daycare fees up to $7500 per year per child. I fork out $100 (USD65) per week for the two days for DS.
