TW Tuesday!

Share them here friends. I know we all have a TW or two!

  • @miss.sally,  unsympathetic people suck.  sorry your mil is being such a TW!

  • @miss.sally the appropriate response would have been "man that sucks. Let me come watch your kids so you can nap"  What a cow!

    @varimama agreed. I'm lucky that we live in a state with minimal population numbers, but kids events are still nuts.

    @jenEP I want to slap your MIL. You're very brave to even involve her in the naming process.

  • @jenEP OMFG that would enrage me. It's HIS child... why the heck does it need to have his initials? BTW DD and DS both have E names, so I am conflicted but likely trying to avoid E names as well haha.

    @miss.sally Ugh. You have ALL my sympathy. A 2:30 wake up is insane... I can handle wake ups with newborns because I know what I am getting into and I design life during those times to work around it. Toddler MOTN wake ups are HARD. So hard. Hope you get a nap.

  • @jenEP, that is so weird your MIL is digging in her heels on this LO - for some reason it seems like people get more fanatical with 'passing on' names with boys than with girls.  my sis ended up naming her DS after her DH because it was 'tradition' in his family, even though she didn't really want to at first.
    @varimama, definitely agree. big crowds just ruin events like that.  IDK why cities/towns don't schedule more events for little kids, or at least have the ones they do have be longer running... then maybe they'd be less crowded and more enjoyable.
    @mrsvp614, two-faced (and jealous) coworkers are the worst!  hope yours retires soon...

  • @mrsvp614 Boo to #2! That kind of 2-facedness sucks.

    @jenEP This makes me GLAD my in-laws seemingly don't care about us (neither have visited for the now over 4 years we've lived here--in fact, NO ONE from DH's family has.) bc I would just have to straight up be like, please stop talking to my womb with your preferred name for our child, as that is OUR decision not yrs, lady. And that might cause some drama haha.

    My TW is the stalled process that is me keeping my assistantship this spring. I was told it's in the works to get me signed up for online training & I should expect an email from this person, but basically I've heard nothing since I floated the idea except "we could probably swing that." Like, this is my life and livlihood--I need some affirmatives and some action. I hate feeling like it could just not happen--though, if they tried to be like "oops, sorry" I would throw a fit and make sure I was able to get paid/graduate in the spring. I just... don't want to have to do that-- I want things to run efficiently.
  • @kagesstarshroom Ugh that would cause me anxiety. I hope it works out and you get an answer/clarity sooner rather than later. How will it work with maternity leave? I always wondered that with graduate degrees and assistantships.

  • I’m boring and my TW is just this damn cold! 

    H was being kind of a TW this morning, but he sent me a text apology, so we’re good.
  • @kagesstarshroom that really sucks. I would probably be nudging and asking about it once a week, but I guess being up their butt might also backfire.

  • @EmilyLove25 lolll yeah no i get no maternity leave as a grad student. but i am going to teach at least one online class and maybe be someone's "assistant" who won't really need me to do much? and like-- i will probably just be an easy teacher/not the best teacher next semester. i won a freaking award for being the best teacher last year so i'm not worried about having one "off" semester. 

    Update: someone got in touch with me like an hour after i wrote this. so things are kind of in motion. but like, i still haven't heard about some other things i need to hear about, but at least there is some progress!
  • @miss.sally Ugh, I hate when people act that way.  Just commiserate with me over my own bad time and move on... no need to add anything else or be a b*tch about it!!

    @varimama One-uppers are the literal worst!!  And kid events turn into chaos EVERY time, so quickly!  I took my 3 year old nephew to this amazing Jack O'Lantern festival last Friday and it was wall-to-wall people, with half of the parents not even watching their little ones in the pitch black darkness.  It was a mad house!  I was ready to leave immediately because it takes the fun out of everything.

    @jenEP Omg your MIL refusing to accept that you aren't going to name the baby the name she wants is out of control annoying!

    @mrsvp614 Ohhh this makes my blood boil!  I seriously dislike #2.  What a snake!  Two-faced people are the worst, and it's especially shitty in the workplace because you can't get away from them.

    @kagesstarshroom Oh I hate when things are up in the air and not set in stone.  I like knowing what is going to happen and I really appreciate having all of my ducks in a row, so when people make that difficult, it's so annoying.  I'd be like @silverhope... asking about it frequently until they do something.  But I guess that could be problematic if you annoy them.  But grr!!  

    @kantobean I'm glad he sent an apology text!  <3
  • @kagesstarshroom Oops I just saw your update!  Glad they're slowly getting back to you!
