What happened to WTF Wednesday, etc?

luckylady18 · August 2014

Can we bring the day-of-the-week threads back? I miss them.

My WTF Wednesday - My sister works at the same company I do and she knows how busy I've been lately. But she's not happy in her job right now so she calls me to talk about non-work things, texts me, IMs me....multiple times a day. WTF.

WTF Peggels - why didn't you think that it was back to school week before heading over to Target?

WTF waxing lady - why did you rub a dry cotton ball across my face where you had just waxed - that was skeevy!

They get posted....sometimes just later. I never have anything good so I don't start the thread.

wtf being sick... I rarely EVER catch a cold, even if FI is sick. He will catch everything under the sun and take twice as long to get over it, and I may get a stuffy nose for like, two days. He's been sick the last two weeks, and I was glad it didn't jump to me this time, but my head has felt like it is going to explode for the last two days so now I'm hoping I don't get him sick all over again. Plus feeling like crap at work when all I want to do is close my eyes and take a nap really sucks.

WTF sister-in-law? Do you think I'm an easy pawn? You disappear for months at a time, despite our attempts to keep you in the loop with everyone else with occasional texts, Facebook messages, phone calls - you never call or respond, except to suddenly pop up and ask for money. You act like you'll starve or be stranded without money, and that all you want in the world is for gas money to drive home to be near family, but it's funny that you've never wanted to be around family or communicate with us anytime you DON'T need money.

I'm 100% sure she smokes pot daily, and I'm about 80% sure she's doing other stuff, probably at least prescription drugs. I don't really care about pot smoking if you're a productive member of society, but this kid can't get it together at all - no job, barely a high school education. I'm pretty sure she's either bipolar or has a personality disorder, and just cannot interact with people in a productive manner. She's quit or gotten fired from every job she's ever managed to get in the first place within a few days. MIL pumps thousands of dollars towards her cost of living because she won't cut her off and thus have to think of her youngest without a roof over her head, or more likely, selling drugs (if she isn't already) or her body (again, if she isn't already) to survive.

It's so tricky because SIL has made zero attempts at becoming independent or responsible. She's shady as heck. She keeps having run ins with police, and yet skating by without any charges (that we know of) besides a DUI when she was 17.

It's really hard to know the line between helping and enabling. And as I'm not her parent and can't establish really any kind of boundaries (and as she's over 18, it's pretty much too late anyway), I hesitate to give her literally anything that can be sold for cash to buy drugs. And plus also - I hate feeling like I'm being played.

kaydah · August 2014

WTF husband? You're not the one who's pregnant, so why are you eating ALL the foods you're "craving" and blaming your newfound weight gain on me?! *facepalm* This is going to be a long pregnancy..

readyforround2 · August 2014

Wtf guy at the gas station! Cutting in front of me in line, then backing into me, just so you could "talk to me" is the dumbest f*cking idea ever!! I'm not sorry for telling you off in front of everyone in the store, and I'm definitely not sorry for telling you that wearing a shirt that says "panty wetter" makes you look like a complete douche!

sfgiantsgamerbabe · August 2014

WTF me! I left my phone at work so now I have to drive 20 min to go get it. Yay...

I almost forgot, I had to throw out FI's daughter's toothbrush because she scratched her butthole, then "scrubbed" her hands with the toothbrush to clean them. *barf*

ETA: And if anyone ever thought boys were gross, there you go. Proof otherwise. Girls can be just as gross.

Edvent · August 2014

WTF nurse who works in my clinic (where I also work). How can you order the wrong lab for the 24 hour urine collection? Now I have to repeat it, really? Do you know what a pain in the ass that thing is???

letsgox · August 2014

@southernyankeegirl‌ (whom I tried to tag as old SN first, duh) your SIL sound a like a person I would want to steer clear of as well. Especially bringing a baby into this world. She can't ask for strictly monetary help with nothing to give in return (not necessarily material things). what does your H think of her? Does she know you're pregnant? Dealing with a family member who has an addiction (or several) is more than difficult. Have you had to bail her out of situations in the past or does she go to MIL? (Don't feel like you have to answer any of those ?s either, I just feel for you big time in a BDTD sort of way.)

aerotigergirl · August 2014

I've got two SILs. I've also got two WTFs this week. I'll let you do the math.

My family does not need to be tangled up in your financial mess. The choices that you've made are what has landed you in your current position. We shouldn't have to sacrifice things that we've been saving for (and things that we will reasonably need for this new baby) in order to bail you out. Like your MIL, @southernyankeegirl, I don't want her to become homeless or worse, but forking over a sizeable chunk of our savings to "help" her, when I know we won't get any of it back, is painful and makes me feel resentful.

Also, other SIL, please stop ranting about my niece's behavioral "problems" on facebook. She's 4. It's only her second week of Pre-K, for crying out loud. The kid hasn't ever been to daycare, so hasn't ever really been in a structured learning environment. Surely she's due at least a couple of weeks to figure out that you have to sit still during story-time and whatnot. I understand giving her consequences to help her learn that you mean business when you say "you have to follow directions at school," but advertising her lapses in judgement and ridiculing her to everyone you know in an attempt to get facebook likes or whatever is just plain mean. Let her be a kid, for crying out loud.

efujan · August 2014

I'll join in.
WTF U/S tech?!?! We go in for the anatomy scan & leave with 1 picture of a foot??? Piss me off to no end - we even ASKED for a couple extra pics we could give to family (they printed extras off for us last time with DS without even blinking), I'm already feeling like a bad parent not having as many pics of child #2!!!

southernyankeegirl · August 2014

@muskiefan07 - DH wants to write her off. It becomes a bit more diplomatically complicated - MIL and the other two SILs don't think youngest SIL has a drug problem ("Oh, she does pot, but she's not an ADDICT!") and that she's just lazy and irresponsible. I swear these people miss red flags the signs of billboards. And in a weird way, they're all a little more loyal to youngest SIL than DH (DH has always kind of done his own thing, been living far away from family for nearly 15 years now). So if DH writes off youngest SIL, then his relationship with the rest of his family becomes more complicated.

She gets most of her money from MIL. And I know that giving her money won't keep her from doing bad things to get more money to fuel her habit. Even when MIL thinks she's being "safe" by giving her things rather than cash, SIL "loses" or "breaks" the item (never, ever her fault, of course *cough cough*) and begs for a replacement.

She asked me for money a few months ago. SIL contacted me (after not responding for MONTHS as DH and I called, texted, emailed, Facebooked to tell her we were pregnant) to tell me she couldn't afford to eat and needed food, and could I please put money on her V.isa Prep.aid card? Um, no. She'd either sell the card or buy things and hock them. So I told her that I'd have groceries delivered, just tell me where to deliver them and what she wants. Nope, she disappeared again.

She reappeared today to ask for gas money for the drive she's supposed to be making to move back home. This move keeps getting "delayed" due to one financial issue or another, never her fault and always requiring MIL send more money ("My BF broke his finger and we had a huge medical bill!" or "My car needed new tires and an oil change, so I need $500.").

Against my better judgment, because I try to stay the hell out of this (but she won't ask DH because he'd just ignore her completely), I offered to send her a Subw.ay gift card to help with the cost of food en route, reminding her we don't have much money because baby's coming. What does she say? "Oh, never mind, I think I found a way to make money."

She wants money, that's it. I won't hear from her again until she wants money again.
