Let's just say I didn't see one of these yet and I was like wtf; But only because I needed one and I needed to rant so I made one! Anyways, yesterday I worked my ass off cleaning the house literally. I scrubbed all of the floors, organized the laundry room, the downstairs closet, and just straightened everything up.
I wake up this morning to dog and cat foot prints through out the WHOLE ENTIRE down stairs! What the actual fuck. Not only did I wake up to animal foot prints everywhere but the house looked like a wreck once again.
I love MH to death but he is such a slob. His ACU's were scattered through out the living room, plate and cup on the floor from where he had been playing Fall Out 4 last night, and the counter had crumbs all over it!
Don't get me wrong I love, love having a clean house but hate cleaning. I clean everyday because I can't stand to have a dirty house but DH doesn't get that I wouldn't have to clean so much if he would just pick up after himself! Also, yes, I have told him to pick up after him self but it only lasts so long. Does this happen to anyone else or am I just going mad and being too picky?
Also, for the love of god wtf is up with all of these feeling kicks threads? There's been how many in the last couple of days?
WTF to me too. My household are procrastinators and we have left all the cleaning for Thanksgiving for today! We're not doing the regular once over clean. We have to do the thorough I have family members that will take their white gloves out clean. So now I get to work all day and probably clean well into the night. Then tomorrow I have to go around to families' houses, get the tables and chairs so I can fit about 30 people in my house and then wake up at 4:30 so I can start prepping the turkey. I'm so glad one of my aversions was not coffee because I'll be needing it tomorrow.
@BreannaaaMarieee you are not alone!! I was having a similar fit yesterday. I cleaned the entire house Sunday, then had to re-clean yesterday because between my husband and our dog we can barely go a day without needing to vacuum, clean the kitchen, pick up a billion random things left everywhere etc. Oh and the laundry, I don't get it. I just did all the laundry Sunday and by Tuesday morning he hamper is overflowing with mostly his stuff! How many outfits can one person go through in a day?! I don't even want to think about how much laundry I'll be doing with the baby AND DH. And DH rarely helps in the cleaning despite me asking him/telling him I'd appreciate if he took a little more initiative in that department bc with a three level townhouse cleaning becomes an all day affair! It would be different I think if I didn't work but we both work full time! It is a big sore spot for me.
@spatter1 Wow, you just made me feel so much better! I'm so glad to know its not just MH lol. It just blows my mind! It's only us here and the house is a wreck after one day. That should not happen. I understand with the baby it won't always be clean but come on it's just us right now. No excuses! Don't even get me started on the laundry. I currently have 2 loads that need to be washed and 2 that need to be folded. Seriously FML. Can I just have a maid now or what? So over laundry and cleaning but mainly laundry since you reminded me lol.
WTF, I woke up for a pee break which ended up turning into a constipated poo break so I went on my phone and saw the step grandmother thread. Now I'm going back to bed irritated as hell at some of these dumbass comments.
@BreannaaaMarieee and @spatter1 I have a two week rotation I made (and never do - laziness is a killer) of chores that when I did them the the first few weeks really helped. It's designed to be one 20-30 minute task a day to do during nap and then a bigger chore on the weekend when DH is home. I'll try to get a picture to share if you're interested. Doesn't help messy husbands, but it makes cleaning much less overwhelming.
I got a good WTF. How come the U.S. can't give a full year of maternity leave like our neighbors in Canada? I'm so jealous and I hate that I have only 8 weeks and that's with a C section.
I'm with you guys on the DH laundry front. He has different underwear for various things (working out, working / all day wear, sleeping) and I swear to god I have to wash every single pair of his underwear every week. T-shirts are the same. Why?!?!?!
Maybe I'm just gross, because I wear one pair of underwear a day, and I'll wear the same sleep short several nights in a row.
That's not gross at all! I change my undies everyday but I wear same pjs couple days in a row since I shower before I go to bed. When I do laundry, my pile is so little compared to DH's pile. I don't even understand how he goes through clothes so quickly.
WTF to impatient people that think they are too important to wait 5 minutes... We all have things to do, we all have somewhere to be, we all want to get our holiday started... Spread some joy and not hate and wait like everyone else.
WTF today, you are so insignificant, yet not insignificant at the same time. Early release day at school before Turkey Day, and lots of kids are out but all the kids who WERE out yesterday are HERE today, seriously guys?! What is the actual point of that...? And why get my hopes up about small class and then show up for a short day? And of course, today is the day I get evaluated by my principal. Granted, I talked to him this morning and knew he'd be coming by, and thankfully my kids were well behaved and focused, but I just don't understand why an early release day before a holiday is a good day to observe? Its hit or miss with the kids being off the wall. AND on top of it, DH didn't take the dang hint yesterday about how I knew he was in a bad mood and could stand getting laid as an opportunity to actually make a move. Get with it buddy. We'll be staying in a hotel the next three nights...with FIL...so there goes any chance of that happening, even if it IS a suite.
WTF nipples! I knew you were going to be pushing some tissue out to get ready for milk (my nipples used to be pierced). But could you please stop making yourself look like your full of an infection right before it comes out?! Or just get it all out at once. Kthanksbye
Wtf mom... I've been asking for my Christmas ornaments from my childhood for the past four years. At first you said never, then you said OK, but now it's "well you aren't married so I think I should hang on to them a little while longer." I guess our engagement means literally nothing to you, even though you've stopped with the living in sin comments over the past year we've been together, and I'm expecting your grandson this year. You going to call him a bastard? I dare you...
Meanwhile our Christmas tree is covered in my fiancé's ornaments, and the few we pick out every Christmas together. I already hate the holidays because you were so psycho about how perfect everything must be, why do you insist on keeping them!?
Oh and telling me you could justify putting up four trees this year with all the extra ornaments you have DOES NOT MAKE ME ANY HAPPIER. We're getting ornaments with the ultrasound picture of our LO to give to grandparents this year. Guess who isn't getting one?
WTF to my in-laws. The unnecessary guilt trip you laid on DH last night was NOT okay! I'm so over all of their whining and guilt. They manipulate DH into doing whatever they want and it pisses me off to no end! Last night was due to Thanksgiving. There is a chance of freezing rain tomorrow and I told DH that we won't be going if tonight's forecast confirms this. His parents go on and on about how it just won't be Thanksgiving without him. That they will let us bring all 3 dogs up and stay with them when they know for a fact that I HATE staying at their place because they are awake at 4 in the morning listening to the tv at a blaring volume because FIL is deaf as a post in addition to their beds being the most uncomfortable pieces of crap ever made in 1975. And their dog pees on everything so their entire house wreaks of dog urine to make it that much more disgusting. When DH told them no that we will just come up another time FIL insists that he will get us a hotel room. Great, but I still have 3 dogs that need to be cared for. Now he suggests I leave them with my parents. Um...NO! I'm not going to inconvenience my parents to make you happy.
Now to keep from being the bad guy yet again, I am packing for a trip to stay at my in-laws with all 3 dogs. I am bringing a travel recliner so I can hopefully get some sleep, but I did forewarn DH and FIL that when I'm a raging bitch on Thanksgiving day to remember that they caused it.
WTF to DH because he actually suggested that I sleep in the attic while at his parents house tomorrow night while he and the dogs sleep in the bedroom because he knows that I like my privacy. In a freezing cold attic? Seriously man, did you get hit in the head or what? Also because he is a little kid when it comes to dealing with his parents and never stands up to them when they are being ridiculous.
Wtf medical staff? Why tell me to arrive with a full bladder to make me stand in line 25 mins doing the potty dance just to tell me to empty it?
Also I get due dates are estimates but my hospital was already planning between 4/17-4/19. After yesterday with my a/s the tech wanted to move it to 4/12. Dr tells me, well you are having a mid April baby. No its not really a big deal but for a mom who went late and expects to go late again, I really would like an tentative eviction date.
I probably should wait for fffc for this, but you guys with all your cleaning make me feel like a slob I generally pick up and put away things i dont use on a daily basis, and try to keep the dishes done every day. But I feel accomplished if I vaccume and clean my bathroom once a week. I love when my house is clean, but really hate cleaning. We hardly ever have anyone over, but I do always deep clean before anyone visits.

You clean the bathroom more often than I do >.> And I don't know when the last time I mopped something was. I should probably make a monthly checklist or something...
WTF husband... you wake me up at 6:30 AM on my DAY OFF?! After I was already up with our sick toddler during the night??!! I know you weren't like, PURPOSEFULLY waking me up, but humping me while I'm trying to sleep in....

This happened to me this morning as well. Except it wasn't my day off but I was still snoozing the alarm. And so I yelled at him.
Me and my mom were at Sam's Club today and I was starving, so we went to the busy as hell food court to get some pizza and there's only one table left. My mom told me to go ahead and grab it and this fat cow that wasn't even in the actual line makes a bee line for the table immediately after my mom said that. I was pissed, I wanted to punch that lady in the face, I was starving, exhausted (I haven't been sleeping well and we had just gone to soo many stores), and then extremely irritated that she did that. And then the lady in line before us got the LAST slice of the ONLY kind of pizza I wanted. I was about to cry. Completely irrational on my part but whatever. I'm only 4'9 but I will cut you.
WTF to my family, Why can I not get ahold of anyone today?? Seriously everyone's phone is either off or they just arent answering! GRRR!
Also, WTF to target's photo department? I finally order my pg announcements online to print in the store. They really should tell you how long its going to take for them to print when you order. I went to go pick them up and oh, they arent supposed to be ready for another 2 hours??
A giant WTF to whatever crazy person assigns addresses to buildings. If a business's address is 123 N Main Street, I'm going to be looking for it on Main Street, not three streets over! Showed up 15 minutes early for an appointment and parked on the block where by all rights it should have been, figuring it would take me at most 5 minutes to walk there. Instead, it took 20 to find it and I was 5 minutes late. NOT the first impression I wanted to make.
WTF nipples! I knew you were going to be pushing some tissue out to get ready for milk (my nipples used to be pierced). But could you please stop making yourself look like your full of an infection right before it comes out?! Or just get it all out at once. Kthanksbye
@juliennenicole I thought it was just me! It's been horrible over the last two weeks, and while I took out the piercings while over 4 years ago you'd think I just took them out yesterday!
WTF to my uncles who are behaving like children and ruining what could be a perfectly nice Thanksgiving. It is most likely my grandmother's last thanksgiving (wtf stage 4 cancer) and the two of them are just being shameful. One uncle has brought up the will twice and how he can't believe that he has been written out of it and feels that my grandmother has "disavowed" him (he's literally a millionaire and won't let any of us normal folk forget it). And the other uncle is bringing his girlfriend to dinner even though he knows his children (both in their twenties) have invited their mother (his still legally married wife). So I just wonder, does the mistress that he's leaving his wife for sit across to my Aunt or next to her? I just want to know if Jerry Springer is also invited to this event, because the whole thing just seems so fucked. Oh and did I mention that it is a 1000 square foot house with 24 people coming, and my grandmother keeps the heat at a minimum of 72. I can only imagine how hot it is going to be with the oven on for that many hours. All I wanted was to spend some nice quality time with my grandmother without all of the drama that her sons are causing.
Oh and my entire house ripped apart because we are refinishing our kitchen and the contractor who was supposed to be done still hasn't finished. When I expressed that I was upset, he told me he'd show me how to do a small section of grout so I could finish the tile myself before the weekend so I don't run behind my schedule. When hubby told him that he'd finish it tomorrow, but that would mean that we aren't paying him the full amount that we were originally quoted, he was like "Oh, well I be there Friday then....if you don't feel like dealing with it." What an asshole, he not only expected me to finish the job but still felt entitled to the full amount.
@mrstrax please share! I definitely need some help staying on top of the laundry. Once I lay down there's no more cleaning for me lol.
I feel like I finally have a handle on our laundry. It's only taken me 4.5 years of marriage haha. I found that it's much more efficient if I do a complete load at a time. Like wash, dry, put away. I won't out a new load into the washer until the last one was put away. My grandma suggested that to me when I was venting to her about a year ago. I thought it sounded like it would take longer, but it totally doesn't. I do 1 load every 3rd day and it's working out really well.
My wtf may just sound like a bunch of whining, but I got a new job Monday as a waitress. I spent the last two days training, and since it's not my first waitress position, the people I was shadowing each had me take a table on my own to prove I knew what I was doing. Normal, right? Well, I actually did really well with these tables, only messed up once, made $30 in tips(we didn't tell the boss they let me keep the tips I made). The waiters were super pleased and told the boss so. Except boss got mad that I was already taking tables (that were given to me... As a test...) and told me at the end of my shift I would be switching to hostess-- and that from now on I would *only* be a hostess. Like, ......... Wtf...

I worked in bars/restaurants for 9 years. When I was managing, I always had my trainees do a shift in their last training day with the trainer shadowing them. Isn't it, like, standard procedure to have server trainees take some "test" tables??? I'd be pissed to get put on the host stand.

Big giant creepy hugs, @Knottie9983816 . That sucks and I'm sorry.

Exactly?? Ugh, who knows. I don't go back until Friday, so I'll see then if her panties are still twisted. I promise you don't want me as a hostess, I get all flustered when I try to seat people in rotation. XD
@mumistheword Sorry about the family drama... And I reeeaaallly understand your frustration with your contractor. We had the Worst Experience Ever when we added on to our house last year. We finally made them stop when we were 25% over budget but only about 75% done, and we're still waiting for them to come fix some of the more serious issues. Ugh.
@mumistheword yes! I took mine out 2ish years ago. And I happened to take my bra off facing my fiancé and he freaked. I assured him it was fine, but he still got super worried thinking he did something to them.
WTF to my MIL. We recently got our wedding photos back and she had the nerve to tell me everything she disliked about the photos. My husband and I chose a photographer who specializes in candid shots because we aren't huge into ridged church photos and we were lucky enough for my parents to foot the bill. Anyways while I was showing her the pictures she complained about everyone. "I hate the lighting" "I wish so and so was standing here and you there" "Ew the coloring in this one." "This photo is just awful." I wanted to say why don't you tell this to my parents who dropped $3600 on these photos.
@aa79606 That sucks, I'm sorry that you still haven't been able to finish the project. Why are contractors so shady? We had the same guy do the bathroom, and quote us $700 at first and when we were discussing the final price told us that he'd need another grand...after the project was already done with. Not cool. And I'm okay with the family drama, I'm trying to take it for what it is. I can say that when the LO comes, we'll be doing family gatherings at our house and that way we have more control over who the baby is exposed to. I hope that you have a great Thanksgiving! :-)

It's a boy! Grow baby, grow! EDD: 4/22/2016
I guess this is my wtfw too!
It's a boy! Grow baby, grow! EDD: 4/22/2016
It's a boy! Grow baby, grow! EDD: 4/22/2016
It's a boy! Grow baby, grow! EDD: 4/22/2016
When I do laundry, my pile is so little compared to DH's pile. I don't even understand how he goes through clothes so quickly.
daily tasks (dishes, basic tidying),
weekly/biweekly tasks (bathrooms, floors) and
monthly tasks (Windows, woodwork).
Set it up based on what days are convenient for you and your house. Make sure you leave yourself a day off for either catch up or just to relax.
ETA- sorry about the glare, it's on the fridge
