I love this post title. Made me snort a little. Today my waffle is old man winter. I want nothing more than to let my children prance through the yard to blow off steam but it is WAY TO DANG COLD. I love Canada, but if I could move to Cali I would do it and never look back.
People who mommy shame. If you don't breast feed, if you do breast feed, if you don't have a med-free birth, if you don't have a midwife, if you do have a midwife,.etc. Who cares ! If you get to take home a happy healthy baby and God willing that baby stays healthy I consider that a win. No need to shame mothers if they don't do things the way that others do.
My brand new puppy. Why I thought it was a great idea to get an 8 week old puppy when I'm almost 8 weeks pregnant is beyond me. Picking up his poop has me all sorts of dry heaving. And all I want to do is sleep, he wants to play. Have mercy on me puppy!

Yes. I actually really dislike those badges (Natural Birth! Breastfeeding Only!) or whatever they are because I think they are doing just that.

At least your puppy can go into a cage.
Some of us have toddlers.
Haha very true! I've said it before that I don't know how 2nd, 3rd etc time mom's do it. I couldn't imagine running after a little one while feeling like this!
Mine is the folks who keep saying "your body is made to do this," regarding birth.
Actually, for many of us, like me, having a vaginal birth is dangerous. C sections can be medically necessary.
I know those comments come from a good place, but they can be so condescending to many others.
Give birth. Feed your kid. I don't care how you do either.
Thank you! Like you said, I know it comes from a good place, but I feel like it sets women up for feeling like there's something wrong with them if they require medical intervention.
Trying to reign in my inner grammar nazi is a TW. It's like an actual physical pain when I read some of the posts on here, and have to tell myself, "No one cares, Christine. Be nice. Don't say anything."
I'm bothering myself with my own posts. I just got a new phone and my fingers are a bit short for it, so any mobile bumping one handed is resulting in many a spelling error.

Several diapers have caused vomits, which is so pleasant.
Ahhhh, nothing quite like vomiting in a bag next to your giggling child. The joys of motherhood. The other day I didn't make it to the garbage and ended up just yaking on the kitchen floor. My 1 year old climbed up in my lap and tried to comfort me during, so sweet, yet so gross.

The Federal Govt for not at least delaying work today. I get that 3 inches is not a ton of snow, but no salt, no plowing with the amount of traffic and commuters around here makes for a treacherous commute. I still had to take DD to daycare because I can't telework with her home and the 1.5 miles to daycare took me 40 minutes and I saw a city bus sliding sideways down the road. I would take leave, but I have to save every single minute for maternity leave.

You live in DC area too? We're in DC.
I'm still at home as our nanny hasn't arrived yet. Her kids had a delay and now traffic. At this rate, I'll just go work at a coffee shop down the street until pick up.
I think this is due to the few storms last year when it never ended up snowing and they cancelled.
I'm in western Loudoun County and people here are LIVID there's school today - a lot of our schools out this way are understaffed and kids are in the gyms. Plus, the dude on the news said in all his years reporting, this was the worst he's ever seen the roads. VDOT definitely screwed the pooch on this one.
Yeah, I am in Montgomery County, MD. They predicted .5 -1 inch and so far we are at about 3 inches and still snowing. The major roadways are still terrible. The news is reporting that it is taking almost an hour from 95 to 270 on the beltway.

All my puppy wants to do is lick me and I have no desire to be touched. What touching is allowed is done by the 9 month old. She's learning "soft" which I say and she strokes my face softly instead of pinching it.

My 40 min commute took 2 hours this morning, and we use the Waze app, which tried its hardest to send us on every alternative route possible. GAH.
my two year old. I love her, but this morning and last night she was being a complete TW. She want's to do everything and I mean EVERYTHING independently now. quote from last night " NO MOMMMMMMY. I go pee pee myself. Evelyn go pee pee myself. YOU WAIT UPSTAIRS!"
~just pee kid and lets move on, this doesn't have to be a half an hour production while my back breaks wrestling with your pants (yes she still can't quite manage the pants on her own- but dammit, she wants to do it "myself")
My little brother has a dangerous job in the oil field, he also has epilepsy and is on lots of medications. So I've been worried about something going wrong since he took the job. My cousin just posted on FB "Heard you had a close call. Hope you're doing ok." This is the first I've heard of it and no one is answering their fucking phones, so I'm just sitting her worried out of my mind. She said "close call", so I'm just hoping he wasn't actually hurt.
People that do that shit are twatwaffles. Use a private message for something like that. Or wait until the person addresses it himself on Facebook.
My waffle today (mmmm waffles) is kind of the L&D coordinator that did my orientation yesterday. She was a nice lade, but her advice was on the super-conservative side, much more so than my doctor's. The most I research it, the more a GD test at 8 weeks with no intention of follow-up just sounds really off. I mean, if I passed it, and then I develop it later, how are we going to know? And if I don't pass a one hour but would pass a 3 hour, then I'm dealing with something incredibly stressful for no reason.
Also, way to fear-monger, lady. I drink bucketfuls of water a day, and I also will drink an occasional tea and I drink one Kcup coffee a day. One weak brewed cup of coffee a day is totally within the guidelines of every pregnancy handbook I've ever read. Don't tell me that such a minimal amount of caffeine could be a loss factor. Blerg.

Me. I am my day's Twatwaffle. I don't know why I decided to take on a full course load this semester while dealing with horrible morning sickness, plus a part time job on top of it. I already missed one class this morning because I couldn't pick myself off the bathroom floor in time to go. I'm an idiot.
Coworkers that touch me or come into my personal space. . . GET THE FUCK OUT. It's always been a thing, but now it is SO much worse. I want to punch them, and I'm not a violent person, lol.
Especially one guy that SMOKES. Please get your godawful death breath right the fuck away before I puke and/or punch you.
EDIT - Just had to add that because I'm so angry over the death breath, I'm spending at least 15 minutes extra on the project. On The Bump. . . posting about how awful you are.
The neighbor who is using a snow blower on what may be 2 inches of snow.
AMEN!! The asshole who is plowing (with a truck) the 1 inch of snow on the asphalt outside my bedroom window for the last hour. SCRAPE SCRAPE SCRAPE. I didn't call off of work today to listen to this shit.
My serious TW today is 2 of my students. They have previously lit up a joint in my class, and today they were making out in class. When I sent them to the office they lied to the principal. Thank GOD one of the other students covered my ass and filmed it on their phone.

Mine is definitely the cooks at our cafeteria: how in the world did you manage to make one side of my chicken breast raw and the other so tough I couldn't chew it???? I'd be impressed if I wasn't so grossed out...
Mine is the mom of the new kid in the daycare she sends him with no breakfast, proceeds to tell me she packed snacks for him ( all sugar crap!! Nothing a child should eat let a lone for breakfast) and to top it off he doesn't have a coat today. What if there was a fire or a power outage???? Really it's his first day and this is how you start him off????
My nose is a twat waffle. It is indeed pregnancy psychosis but I am convinced that I can smell EVERYTHING. It is all some kind of queasy horrifying super power. Every pore on my poor fiance's face? yep I can smell it. Anything that's happening on tv? I can smell it. The dog drinking water in the other room? That too. I can smell it all and it all makes me want to toss my cookies.
In conclusion, I'm pretty sure it is me that is the miserable twat waffle on this Tuesday. I own it.
My sisters asshole husband is mine today. I can't talk to her on the phone while he's home, and he is home ALL DAY.
Sorry if intrusive, but why?
We don't get along. I lived with them a short while after they got married and he would ask me "Are you pregnant yet?" in a mocking tone if I ever stayed the night at my boyfriend (now husband)'s house.
Also he's just an all around shitty character. He's lied to my sister about his porn addiction too many times for me to handle, and treats their kids like crap. My tolerance level for him is zero, so if we're on the phone and he gets home from work she always "has to go." or if I call during the day while they're both home she can't ever talk for very long since he can't handle their kids.
He's just such an asshat that I could rage about him all day long.
My husband and his extreme obsession with keeping our driveway completely clear of snow, and his need to bitch at me for not giving a shit about the driveway. Sorry hubs, my priority is our 16 month old not the fucking driveway, so SUCK it! Hmm..... Pregnancy moodiness may also be one of my tw's today.
Receptionist at the ultrasound place who gave me a verbal dressing down for deciding to opt out of the 12 week screening tests for neural tube defects and chromosomal problems is a twatwaffle.
Instead of explaining my reasons I said "they're optional right?"
@jabs86 I'm so sorry about your brother, I hope he recovers quickly
Edited: to add words
There are few things more irritating than people who are NOT your doctor discussing your medical decisions with you, like their opinion means ANYTHING. Uhhhggg.
