I nominate H. Howell got up at 6:20 this morning because he heard his dad coughing. So I get him up and change his diaper and meet H in the hallway. He is all, "Why is he up? Of course he gets up early the day I have to wear a suit." WTF does wearing a suit have to do with anything? It's not like I'm going to let Howell finger paint on it.
Then he volunteers to feed him breakfast as if he's doing me some huge favor. Breakfast consists of putting some sort of toasted breakfast bread spread with something [that I toasted and spread, I might add] on his tray and offering banana. Big deal. He's all stressed about this event so he's a really fun conversationalist meaning I talk and he says responses that are incongruous with the topic.
Example:
Me: I had the strangest dream last night.
Him: I lost my umbrella.
I also nominate SIL for ruining Howell's baptism. Twat.
Oh and thanks to Manda, I learned on facebook, the state of Indiana gets a big one because they made it a felony for same sex couples to apply for a marriage license. Good job, Indiana.

What!?!?! FELONY! Seriously? That's ridiculous on so many levels. I nominate Indiana too.
I'd also like to nominate my IL's, who will never change, but will constantly cause me stress. Last week they needed to spend the night at our house because FIL had a doctors appt in the area. I spent the whole evening listening to how horrible everyone is, and how ugly DS's cousins are. I'm serious my MIL actually said out loud that DS's cousin (who is 1 year old) is fugley and will need to wear a bag over her head when she gets older. Who says stuff like that!?!?! I don't know how I'm going to keep that kind of stuff away from DS...

Yup. Has to do with "lying on the application" because it specifically asks for the male applicant and female applicant, so in order to avoid just becoming a more awesome state and going with the federal strike down of doma they decided to make it a felony to apply. Plus marking it out is not allowed from my understanding because it is considered tampering with a document or some shizz like that. I really need to get away from this state.
My dog. A decided to sleep in this morning, and my effing dog went BSC because of some guy she saw walking past our house.
I nomination my douchy DMV. I got here 7 minutes after they opened and there was already an hour and a half wait time. Aghhh. Freaking government disfunction at its finest, folks. Just need to renew my dl. Don't even need to test. Redic.
Eta : at 50 mins after opening, the wait time for people getting here now is 5 HOURS AND 20 MINUTES.
I nominate C's dad again. Now that he's completely moved out of town and I've been cleaning all of the rooms and bathrooms and laundry, etc that he was supposed to take care of while I was working, he has the nerve to send me a picture of him riding his bike on the beach. I told him I had just replaced all of the lightbulbs upstairs, and I have those really high ceilings that I have to use one of those pole things to change them, and had to replace the air conditioning vent. I told him I wished he had changed them when he was living here for free and his response? "Yeah, those really needed to be changed bad." So why didn't he do it while he was here not working, not cleaning, not cooking, and doing the bare minimum with the baby? I am beyond sick of cleaning up after this guy. I will never ever live with another person who isn't my child for as long as I can avoid it.

You're welcome - had to spread how ridiculous Indiana is. I agree with pp posts - Twat Waffle of the Year.
MIL - If you saw the end of my gif story, we got back from dinner and out of nowhere she makes a comment about teachers should get paid what they get paid because teachers have the summer off. I seriously have no idea why she would say that. 1) Because we weren't even discussing paychecks or anything that would even cause this statement to be made and 2) That's the biggest insult you can give a teacher. I'm not sure our relationship will ever be the same again. I'm in my classroom right now finishing up paperwork and getting started on next year. The amount of work I do outside of my contract hours makes up for me having summers off. I could continue but won't.

When I saw your gif story I was on mobile and wanted to comment, but having to re-enter my info was wayyy to much effort before bed. Your MIL is definitely a twatwaffle. I don't know why you put up with her when your H is not there. Seriously. That is awful. teachers have one of the most thankless jobs and easily put in 60 hours a week + to keep things up.

Jessa is wise. I also hate the martyr card of, "Oh, I'll feed the baby while I starve," My mom pulls that crap. It's good for babies to see other people eat. It's a communal activity.
I'm nominating my MIL too. Yesterday while we were at MIL's, ds wanted to nurse. I picked him up and she grabbed ds from me and said "let grandma make you a snack, you're too old for that ol mama milk". He started crying, and I took him back from her and sat down to nurse him and she said "ewgh" [kind of ugh and eww]. I said "is there something you wanted to say?", thankfully she said no, because I likely would have gotten fired up.

This is not good for my blood pressure, wow, next they will want to be like Uganda and have the death penalty for being gay. I thought the US was suppose to be a free country.

I am seething over this. What an ignorant twat. Why don't the gmas get that they raised their kids?
Sam's Club. Holy eff, worst customer service in the WORLD. Seriously.
I got this free club membership offer in the mail, so I go to the store to sign up. After waiting THIRTY minutes in line, I finally get signed up, walk to the baby aisle, where, alas, they don't sell Luvs (which was the point in this entire fiasco). So, I go home and figure I'll order them online.
I order a box online, $31. I happen to go downstairs and see a whole box of 180 that I didn't know we had, so I go back upstairs to cancel my order. I don't get a confirmation that my order cancelled, so I call the 1-800 # and the guy is like, "Oh yea, it cancelled. It won't charge your card" Cool.
Then, I look in my bank account an hour later and there's a charge from SC. Then, I get an e-mail that my order is confirmed. So, I call and tell them I called to verify it was cancelled and they tell me someone will call me back in 2-3 days to discuss a refund.
2-3 days?!!! WTAF?!!!
So, I tell her that's unacceptable, that I called to cancel it 5 minutes after I placed it, and that I even called to verify it was cancelled. I told her I wanted to speak to a supervisor, she transfers me, and hangs up on me. Then, I call back and wait 35 minutes to speak to a supervisor and eventually hang up. I haven't called back because I'm still pissed about yesterday.
Will we use the diapers? Eventually. But, that's not the point.

It's not like I'm going to let Howell finger paint on it.
Then he volunteers to feed him breakfast as if he's doing me some huge favor.
Ha! That made me LOL. My DH is always getting up in arms about the girls touching his work clothes while we are eating dinner. So he's already been to work, and is home. Who cares if they get some food on your clothes!? Anyway, I feel your pain.
DH and I married 8 years.
Mom of three, stepmom of one.

Isn't she the one who admitted that she's jealous of you breastfeeding b/c she never did? Or am I thinking of someone else? Either way, this is bull. She obviously doesn't know that babies do need either breast milk or formula.
Yes. She adopted H, and she's still bitter about not being able to birth or bf.

Oh Manda, that is awful what your MIL said about teachers.
My dad just retired from teaching this year and he once calculated that all the time and work that goes into teaching, teachers don't actually get holidays at all according to a regular 8 hour work day.
It has got to be one of the most difficult, stressful and thankless jobs there is. You deserve a trophy!
My work. We were told to paint our classroom walls to create a museum feel for the upcoming school year. Last week I texted my principal to see if everything was ready for me to go in this week to paint. He said yes. I asked my aunt and DH to come help since DH has the day off today. We packed up DD for the day figuring she could hang in the classroom next door since it is connected. Well, we get there only to be told we have to leave because they just cleaned the carpets. School starts in 2 weeks. I have DDs bday in 16 days, I go to school 2 day a week, and am just super busy. I am soo mad.
