I have been side-eyeing people with no clue so hard this week. They are popping out of the wood work and finding me. Sometimes it's not their fault that they're so ignorant, and I know that and have to check myself so I don't say something majorly offensive and rude, but at least I can side eye all I want. I need to be way more selective about the conversations I choose to indulge in real life.
I'm side-eyeing the lady on one of my local FB mommy groups who posted two days ago "Guys, I'm five days late, should I take a test?" And all the other ladies, who responded with things like, "Omg yes, totes!" or "You could totally use period tracker to get pg, thats how I got pg with my son the very first cycle!" And then I side-eye the original girl again for posting the pee stick with two super dark lines on it. Ugh. Why does FB show me this stuff.
I'm also kind of side-eyeing my SIL. I really like her, she's fun and a good mom and all sorts of wonderful things. But I have a new DS business and she was doing a Facebook party for me last week and I sent her samples to use and them post pics on her party… Well, she botched the samples so bad, lol. I kind of just had to laugh they were so bad. But I'm side-eyeing her for posting the pic of the botched sample. Of course your friends aren't going to buy any of this stuff if they think it's gonna end up looking like that! Oh dear, she's so sweet, but not very coordinated. Oh well.

@Graceyandtroy that's pretty lame of your SIL, esp knowing you are trying to build a good base of clients. I'm side eyeing her too.
I'm side eyeing people who can't read. Or follow directions. At all. For fucks sake people, don't intro in the TWW. You might as well slap me in the face with your soggy dripping pee stick while shouting "be happy for meeeeeeeeee!!!"
There. I said it. Probably offended some of the offenders but luckily I have on my big girl panties.

I agree with all of what you said, @Jodee37. Yes, my SIL deserves a little side-eye and I appreciate the support. But I seriously just had to laugh, it was so bad.
And yeah, what's with all the tww intros? I'm not a fan.

This is late b/c I was on vacation. We had a great time but I have to side eye sharing a room with my daughter. She's a very light sleeper and if absolute silence were not required I would have been laughing my ass off at the ridiculous spectacle of DH and I trying to get undressed and in bed without making a sound. God help you if you have to roll over or get up to pee (which of course I do twice a night) we were up A LOT. We all survived though. She went to bed at 6:30 last night and we went to bed at 8:30 so we're catching up on sleep.
