C'mon y'all, who is Queen or King of Twat ?!?!

Let er rip...

melmarie26 · June 2013

I nominate my body. Since I started losing weight via fat cells I have started to gain that monthly abdominal water weight! So, when I actually feel thin and sexy, it's that exact moment when Carrie is crowned Prom Queen : [

My DH gets a secondary nomination. He fell asleep last night within 2 minutes of his "happy place." WTAF? It's only 8:45PM, biitch !!!

Hmm, mine suck pretty bad today....

Your turn gals!

jessalynn521 · June 2013

mine is lame, but this ww/ wonder month that has turned my child into a clingy mess who cries anytime I am not holding him. It makes a lot of things difficult.

My sister and her general twatness towards our mother.

My niece and nephew finished school yesterday and don't start camp until next week, so what does this mean? It means my parents have to watch her kids. I know this is no biggie BUT 1) My sister can work from home 2) Her ex H refuses to do the same when the kids have days off. Also, my niece & nephew are 12/13 years old, so it's not like they need much supervision.

My parents are expected not only to watch them, but to also pick the kids up from her house and bring them back every time (my sister also lives over an hour away, and in a heavily congested area). She got all pi$$Y with my mom because she is also making my mom watch their dog. My mom told my sister she can't watch the dog, b/c it becomes too much to handle. My sister's response? Too bad..you need to take the dog. I also should mention that the kids refuse to walk./care for the dog.

Sounds like your mom needs to give your sister a swift kick in the azz. That is the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard. A dog can be in a kennel when everyone is at work. It is what I had to do when I worked and my dog flipped the eff out over the kennel. Do what ya gotta do.

I swear my mom is scared that my sister won't let her see the kids if she refuses to do what my sister says. Oh, and the dog? The dog is crated at home during the day when she is at work, and the kids are at school. She just wants to dump every responsibility that she has so she can be freeeeeeeeee. Did I mention she is in her 40s?

That is really sad. To make someone feel as though you are using kids as leverage is just sad.

I nominate the jack bags who reneged on our reservation in Portland four days before. Because, you know, no one wants to go to Maine and rooms are easy to come by. Luckily we did find a place but why a headache!

I nominate the security guard who told me to the wrong building in the hospital conglomerate yesterday for Howell's shots [couldn't do them sooner because he had an ear infection at his nine month]. By the time we got there, we were 13 minutes late and our appointment was cancelled because they cancel after 15 minutes. The pedi office people are twats too because I was 2 minutes under the gun. Twats!

H because he left nail scissors on the coffee table and who found them? Howell, that's who! Luckily I wrestled them away before he could do any damage to himself. Although, of we wound up in the ER, I could have just had them combine it with his shots, right?

MH has done this before with regular nail clippers. It makes me nervous though because everything goes right into this kids mouth. Doesn't matter what it is. I won't lie I sort of laughed at your combining shots comment. I know it wasn't a laughing matter though.

Oh.my.God. See? This is why I have good friends! To give me a swift kick in the tookus when I'm not flying right. Reality check. She needs better friends.

Why, oh why, some folks don't take parenting seriously baffles me. They're YOUR kids, not your parents kids. Yours. Your kids. You're a mother. Act like it.

Dh.

Sunday he wanted to go kayaking, and I told him that C probably wouldn't handle it very well. We get there, Lexie is by herself in a kayak, Logan is doing the same, I have Gunnar and Dh has Carson. Ten minutes int it C starts to get upset, so I end up taking him back and walking over to this nasty beach and he plays in the water for 2 hours while we wait for everyone else to get back.

Then we go to bil's house for a cookout and t wait for fireworks. When it was time o leave for fireworks dh took a 20 minute phone call. We saw the finale of the ire works show while driving down the road. Seriously, the last twenty minutes of it. Kids were pissed.

I also nominate the parents of a family I saw a the beach. 2 adults, one little girl about 8 years old and 4 boys ages newborn to four. These parents were yelling at each other and another parent there noticed one of their boys went out too deep. When they started running out to get him, all you could see were his fingertips. They yelled at their eight year old for not watching him. Then yelled at all the kids and wouldn't let them in the water anymore because they "don't listen." The mom left the dad with th our older kids and took the newborn out into the water. When the dad said something to her, she said, "I can ONLY HANDLE ONE AT A TIME!! YOU KNOW THAT!! I hate saying it, but I feel bad or their kids. If you can only handle one at a time, then maybe having five kids wasn't such a great idea.

ETA: There are a ton of typos in that. I am on our iPad and it just doesn't type as accurately or as quickly as I would like!

People have asked me this question before.

My answer, "Sure, you just file the paperwork. Make sure your pediatrician gets a copy of the medication administration record."

Alas, the poor kid ends up getting the same shots again anyways, for some reason or another.

Healthcare documentation in America sucks a big fat one.

Woww. Yeah I would say they should have stopped long ago. Requiring your older kids o take care of your younger kids while you are present is ridiculous IMO. Especially when your oldest is only about 8. Kids aren't parents for a reason. Our race would have died out years ago if that were the case.

Me. I enjoyed my nap and kid free time way, way too much yesterday. It made me feel pretty freaking guilty. Today my mom is coming over after work so she can help out. I am fine, in little to no pain/discomfort. You bet your asss I am still having her stop by.

Nope, you're not a twat.

Just because you're not hurting doesn't mean that your body doesn't need the extra sleep and physical rest to heal up.

Haha! People really do this? If he'd really cut himself, the only two thoughts in my head would be, "My poor baby needs stitches!" and, "H is so gonna get it when he gets home!"

Girl, you have no idea. I've had people come to the triage desk asking for a sports physical for their kids. "Sure thing. You can physically get the eff outta here." Oh and pregnancy tests. That's a common "Chief Complaint." I went to the Dollar Tree up the road from one of my old hospitals, bought $20 worth of those things and kept them in a bag in the bottom drawer at the triage desk. Saved the hospital tons of money, saved me a ton of paperwork and no dealing with stupid shiit. But, shots for kids? Hellz yeah, no sense in doing it twice. In fact, to keep them from having to cry so much, I'd get 2 or 3 nurses to come help me hold them and we'd give all their shots all at the same time. No sense in dragging it out.

I nominate the flucking company that is "fixing" our house from the tree falling on it. They apparently finished on Wednesday and were supposed to do their final walk through on Thursday but of course never showed up. When they finally arrived yesterday I let them have it. They got paint and plaster all over our back deck, front porch and the side of the house, left a closet ceiling half finished, got plaster on our dishes, carelessly removed tape from painting the ceilings and ripped off big swatches of paint on the walls, ground plaster into our hardwood floors, rinsed out primer into our strawberry patch, left huge gouges in our driveway when removing the dumpster, ripped the front off of our dishwasher when carelessly taking plastic up off the floor...I could go on. This entire project has been an absolute disaster. I'm so over it. It is making me a huge grouch and I just want to beat someone.

Vent over.

Nope, I would have done lost my religion with those wannabe contractors.

That is grossly unacceptable. My ex-husband and I ran a residential construction/remodeling company for almost 10 years. Insurance work was our bread and butter. Write a formal complaint to the insurance company. You should be compensated for the length of the project, how much you have had to clean and be displaced from areas of your home and for all the replacement costs of the items they have damaged.

I'll write the letter for you.

Thanks for your advice! I hadn't even thought of writing a letter. That's a good idea. I think I'll take some time today to take lots of pictures as evidence. I would have never thought we'd still be dealing with this 2 and a half months later. They actually had the nerve to show up with a certificate of completion yesterday for me to sign. Ha. I may be a woman but I know better than that you stupid greasy haired mobster wannabe. (that last part was in my head but man did I want to say that out loud)

The golf course R had his lessons at today. They told us to be there at 9:15, we were. At 10, they still weren't done with the previous class. I finally told him I had to leave (G's naptime was at 9:30). We got home at 10:15, he just went down, and now he's not tired because he's OVERTIRED. R STILL has not started his class and it's an hour after they told us it would.

It was highly unorganized and I know it's the first day, but for the previous class to run an entire HOUR over? That's ridiculous when we're shelling out $140 for this class (plus the $200 golf clubs...). I hope they at least plan on giving him the full 2.5 hours of classtime or I'm going to be irate if they still expect me to head up there at 12.

I would like to nominate one of the nurses at the hospital where I just had my appendix out.

After my CT scan, the tech told me I shouldn't nurse for 24 hours (the LC later told me it was fine). Later, I could hear DS crying over the phone and got upset because I couldn't be there to soothe him.

The nurse walked in, asked if I was in pain. I said no, but my son was upset and I wasn't there. She replied, "You can't feed him anyway. Baby will live."

Thanks for your compassion, lady.
