My dogs are twatwaffles for waking me up at 2 am, 3 am and again at 5!
Seriously it was hard enough to go to sleep in the first place, I didn't need that!

My new health insurance is making me switch doctors and I already am having issues with the new one and their staff... Insurance is a twatwaffle

Child care. Anyone looking at child care costs? We may have to move to a smaller house... Lack of affordable child care is a twatwaffle.

Oooh - childcare is a good one. When we first started our son in childcare it was $1,470 a month. It decreases as they get older but not by much. We will be paying about $3,000 a month for childcare with two.

But since I'd rather not think about that...

Halloween is a twatwaffle. Because all the candy right now. Not good.

Holy wow on childcare. My DD gets to go to work with me offen, and when she can't she stays with DH (self employed). Hopefully it will be able to continue that way once this little one gets here! That's just, wow

Tell me about it! Lucky to have jobs to support it but it's painful to pay for it. I was never a believer in daycare before my son started but I can't say enough about his development and his social skills now. I know it's not for everyone but he's doing so well, I'm amazed. I tell myself, eventually all kids go to preschool so he's just doing it a little earlier.

One of my dogs decided to go counter surfing while I was at work today. He is a twatwaffle. *yes that cookie looked really good to me too, thats what I was saving it!*

My MIL is twatwaffle because within 5 minutes of her being at my home she had to say all of the following to DS:

"Oh you must be so cold mommy didn't put socks on you" (he was inside)

"Oh it's so bright in here mommy has all the curtains open"

"Oh mommy has you in the dino shirt... Grandma doesn't like that one"

I'm on the daycare twatwaffle band wagon. I'll have two in care and it will be almost half my take home pay. I am really passionate about staying at home this first year with baby #2 because I was lucky enough to be able to do it with DD. DH is a half twatwaffle because he is already opposing my idea. He'd rather buy a house. Who needs a house, right? Dumb men.

DH is a tiny bit of a twatwaffle. I've been asking him to help me clean our house for about 2 weeks because I knew my family was coming to visit and would be staying with us for several days. Even though I've been asking for 2 weeks he managed to get approximately nothing done. My mom texted this morning saying she'll be here tomorrow. So I've spent the day scrubbing all the toilets, cleaning all the bathrooms, vacuuming all the carpets, mopping all the hard floors, doing all the cooking and all the dishes, doing all the laundry etc. Meanwhile DH "helped" by wall-mounting a TV in our bedroom that I'd already asked him not to wall-mount for now till we decide for sure where we want it. Thanks DH, I appreciate all the help cleaning. /sarcasm. Then, when I say something about it like "hey babe, I know you want the TV wall mounted, but since it's taking you awhile to get it mounted, can it wait? We need to finish cleaning the house so maybe we can do the cleaning first?" And he's like "GOD YOU'RE SO DAMN BITTER ALL THE TIME. WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU?!" Oh I don't know.... I'm exhausted because I'm growing a person and you can't even be bothered to help with little things around the house maybe? TWATWAFFLE

Or, alternatively, DH is fine and I'm just super cranky today.

I can totally relate. I went back to work after DD was born after H pretty much left me with no financial choice. I intended to stay home, but H didn't agree but never told me regardless of how much the issue was discussed.

My income (teacher) covered day care for DD, my health insurance and a few hundred bucks left for expenses. Totally unaffordable with a second baby.

H insisted that I should keep working so we could buy a house. Nope. I was essentially functioning like a single working mom because of his long hours and frequent travel, all with undiagnosed PPD. Misery.

Now I'm home with DD, I adjusted some of our expenses, and I babysit for extra cash. I hate that I had to have a total meltdown to make it happen and for him to listen.

@knitmomma I'm a teacher too! I just moved states so I am very low on the step ladder pay scale (let's say in the area of um...one) DH just got a new job that should double what he is making now once he gets rolling. I'm hoping that it'll be enough for him to see we can make it. While we were and Air Force family, I ran an in-home daycare, which I plan on doing again if I can get him to see the light. It is way too early in this pregnancy for this argument. I can't deal with it now. Keep your fingers crossed for me!!

Yes, FX! Always nice to meet another teacher! DH was in the Navy for 7 years before we met.

I don't have a twatwaffle today, but wanted to jump in and say I am also a teacher @knitmama and @SouthernVOL :-)

ACheek317 · October 2015

I can one up you. When we told my MIL we were pregnant, her first words were 'wow, I sure hope you can afford it!' Mind you, we both have full time jobs, and I have a second part time job. Pretty sure we can handle it, but thanks for the support!
