Re: Twatwaffle Tuesday 3/20
DH is the twat. I’m more disappointed and sad about this than mad. For the past month I have been telling DH about my appointment this Thursday to see if he wants to go. He kept saying since it’s early in the morning he can’t because of work. Ok fine no big deal. He goes on to tell me yesterday that he is coming in early on Thursday so that he can go golfing with his boss in the afternoon (during typical work hours). Last minute change he managed to arrange. This is the appointment he can attend to ask about the c section and all the questions he had a month ago from my AS. It’s disappointing that he’s not even willing to change his work schedule by one hour in the morning but will to do more than an hour change so he can go golfing. No one is up at 6 am to talk about solar! So what work is he really gonna do that early?
also, +1 for that gif lol
My TW is the Italian restaurant I ate at last night. I ordered a dish that said it came in a "devilishly spicy" tomato sauce. Um no. It came in a sauce that must have been made entirely out of red pepper flakes. Completely inedible. I was coughing for like 10 minutes and putting ice cubes on my lips. And this is coming from someone who LOVES Indian food, has a very high tolerance for spicy food, and will eat spicy food happily with my nose running from the heat. But omg. This was insanity. I absolutely never send food back, but I had to send that back and it made me feel like a jerk.

@beanship I've had that happen to me before. I love spicy and will happily eat things with sweat coming out of my pores, but if it's inedible, then someone made it wrong and you definitely have the right to send it back.
My TW is my DH? But I'm not even sure I'm too mad about it. This whole pregnancy he's been having preggo symptoms too. Last night he cooked dinner and did the dishes, so I never stepped foot in the kitchen. He said he woke up this morning, went into the kitchen and found the cat sleeping in front of the oven, which she's never done before. Then he realized he had left the oven on all night! woops.
Then I leave for work, and realized the garage light was left on all night. Last night was trash night and he spent some time in the garage getting things put out, so that was on him as well.
I feel like pregnancy brain hit him hard last night. Anybody else's H's having pregnancy symptoms too?

AMH test came back at .081. Was going to move on to IVF with DE, but have decided not to. Will be leaving it up to the universe now.
@rachelsogo Yes! My DH has serious preggo brain too. And I keep thanking him for taking a share of the pregnancy symptoms, he's got the insomnia and leg cramps at night. I guess that means we're a team?
@wildtot that is absolutely twat-ish. MH has totes done things like that before, like taken off days of work to celebrate Octoberfest in the World of Warcraft with his bro (ie, stay home and game and drink beer) but then wouldn't take a day off when my dad came to visit. Its like, what are your damn priorities?
@wildtot that sucks i hate it when DH chooses work/himself over me and then complains like it's my fault.
+1 to sick of snow - somewhere between 8"-14" tomorrow... Just in time to cancel my kitchen measure again.

I have TW, but unsure if its me being unflexible or my friends, lol. I do love my friends, but I am slightly annoyed. They are married, and on Thursday the wife asks me if its cool if Thursday or Friday they come get the truck they stored in our garage for like, over a year, maybe almost 2 at this point. I'm like sure, already a little miffed that they literally won't know until the hubs walks out of work on one of those days when they are coming over. So today she messages me and says, "DH just left work, can we come this afternoon/tonight?" Sure, what time. "Well, kids aren't out til 3 from school, then we have **insert huge list of shit here** to do, then we'll be over." Um, that sounds like 7pm. That is DS's bedtime. THey have FOUR KIDS so they will all be here. Playroom is outside DS's room, so he's not going to bed on time. She can't keep them home because they only have one car because her hubs won't drive the other "summer cars" because they don't have rust and salt will cause that. I know they are our friends and I would love to help them out but you know...on Friday, when I am not stressed about them being here and can enjoy it! So someone is a twat.
they may be here for quite awhile fixing it before they can take it home. And I don't know why people can't just tell me what time they are gonna be here. Like, so you guys don't care how late you are out on a weeknight but my kiddo has a schedule which-I will totes deviate from-on a day my hubs will be home to tag team the shit show that ensues the following day. All her kids go to school (at least they will when they get this truck running) so this will not affect her at all come tomorrow.
I know its not my job to fix this, but her preschoolers haven't been to school (VT has 1/2 day free public preschool) in 3 weeks because the hubs takes the minivan to work and there is no bus service for preschool. So I know getting the car is important but like, this is making me stressed.
@rachelsogo nope has no impact on his job. I actually know his boss long than he does. DH use to play golf a lot so it’s like doing something for himself for fun + peer pressure.
@lindsayleigh1989 sorry about the anniversary disappointment. Men sometimes don't understand that little things can make a huge difference.
@wildtot I second Google calendar. It's been a lot better since we started using it as my DH is not good at planning at all. In his defense, he works in video and a lot of times his filming schedule is unpredictable. Sorry your DH won't make this change for an important appointment.
@SmashJam that's a bit inconsiderate but it is also a difficult situation. Also, how are they ok with fixing a truck at 7pm? Isn't it better to do it in the daylight?sorry I'm totally clueless.
@rachelsogo a case of contagious prego brain??
Sorry about everyone dealing with snow and cold. It's supposed to rain a bunch here in so cal but it's still dry at the moment. I'm leaving for Texas on Thursday and hoping it's warm and sunny all the time so I can use the in laws' pool!
Our clinic has a stable of doulas that work in rotating shifts, so they have these monthly get togethers that gives you a chance to meet all of them since you don't know who will be on duty on your due date. We went to the event last night and it was great except for one person.
There is this Airhead we keep running into at maternity things. We first encountered her and her equally dimwit husband last month at another maternity event at our clinic. They are literally the dumbest people I have ever met, the fact they could even figure out how to wear pants astounds me. And Airhead was there again last night.
One of the doulas is the same ethnic background as DH and so she asked him about it. Somehow Airhead thought that was her cue to ask me, from across the room, if I've "come to terms" with the fact that my baby won't look like me.
Like what the actual F? Who says stuff like that?
I just ignored her and kept talking to another lady. So she asked again. If she's not a twat, not sure what she is.
I ignored her again but really wanted to say something like " For the record, yes, some of us white people totally don't care that we won't produce a little clone. In fact, I'm totally down with my kid being multicultural. My husband is an incredibly handsome man, so heck yeah, if my kid looks like him, awesome."
It's taken me a whole day to stop rolling my eyes. I hope I don't see her again, DH stopped calling her Airhead and now refers to her only as Racist Preggo. We know not everyone is comfortable with multicultural families, but wow, really?
@zombiehoohaa That is the best comeback lol
Generally if it isn't a malicious attack we let it go because that person looks stupid to everyone else anyway, but if it was intentional and the situation is safe, I have no problem putting someone in their place.
I'm wondering if Airhead would have said the same stupid thing to a couple that was adopting or had used a donor, I think she would, so I don't think it was malicious, just really dumb.
@kissableviv Not only have I come to terms with it, I'm all for it!
@gingerbride26 LOL. I actually made the same comment about recessive traits to DH this morning!
BTW H and I are not the same race and I've gotten asked if I'm the nanny of if DD is adopted on several occasions. While I wouldn't automatically go to racism and it has been said in a totally harmless way I'm like really? Where we live there are seriously TONS of kiddos of the same mix as ours.
