WTF Wednesday

AmadorRose · January 2016

It's been two whole days since BFM...

AmadorRose · January 2016

WTF body? I'm pretty sure these are BH, but this thing where my entire abdomen cramps up and keeps me awake all night is not cute. April can get here any time now..:

AEG84 · January 2016

WTF, brain? Why you no work??

My brain seriously feels like it's slogging through molasses whenever I try to get it to do something. Seeing as I'm an accountant and it's quarter-end, this is somewhat problematic. But of course it has no problems daydreaming, browsing baby stuff, or keeping me awake at night.

briterfly84 · January 2016

TMI....but WTF DH? I am already self-conscious enough about myself, then throw in pregnancy...I feel like a friggin whale. A little attention every now and then would be nice. Even when I flat out tell you "hey...I want to have sex" you come up with an excuse. Last night, he asked me to join him in the shower this morning. I did...he got out. At least he closed the door when he left... I then sobbed uncontrollably without him hearing. I'd honestly rather him tell me he finds me unattractive right now so I know where we stand. Going from a VERY active life to zip...I can't handle it! Mama wants some lovin!

AEG84 · January 2016

@briterfly84, seriously WTF? That is horrible! Have you talked to him about it? (DH and I struggle a bit because his drive is always lower than mine, but he at least doesn't turn me down when I ask.)

briterfly84 · January 2016

@AEG84 ...we haven't really talked about it. I've talked with him about struggling with body image. He has always been the frisky one, so it's tough for me to handle. I rationalize it because he is super busy at work lately, and each time we have played, I have either thrown up or cried (thanks alot stupid emotions). Neither of which must feel great for him...but the breaking point is coming. Those are things I can't control, nor do I let them stop me from wanting it. Might be a sit down talk tonight. If I don't boohoo before I get my feelings out in the open! Maybe I am just being stupid needy and it will pass.

Agreed. Mine are on my drive home and brutal. Not a fan.

Ready4theParty · January 2016

WTF pregnancy dream! I don't appreciate the once a week dream of me giving birth. I love that it's pain free but I really want my child to fully cook before she arrives. I would not be happy if she showed up 14 weeks early.

rebelone · January 2016

WTF coworker in the office next to me clipping their nails with the door open? Can't you do that shit at home? I feel sorry for the guy that shares a room with you.

WTF boss? Don't try and throw me under the bus because the Division Director wants a report of meetings you're in charge of and I wasn't invited to any them to take minutes and keep track. Remember we discussed this topic as agenda items in various meetings throughout the year so there isn't really a set meeting with that topic name as I already showed you three times?

WTF money? Why can't I just have an endless income coming in so I can stay home in my pajamas all day?

I can't decide if pregnancy is making me a wimp or if this is legit. I breathe through them and I'm fine, but at 3 AM it's not appreciated.

@briterfly84 DH and I found ourselves in a similar situation to yours, and talking definitely helped. He is still not especially frisky, but I understand why and he has been more sensitive to my poor self-image since learning how much it bothers me. I figure out sex life will be normal again a couple years after our last child...so, a decade or so.

crazyliblady · January 2016

My WTF goes to pregnancy and life in general. I am soooo tired today I could literally fall asleep in my cubicle. I know I need to rest, but...bills! And my acid reflux prevents me from having soda, hot chocolate, or and kind of caffeine. It is already a very long day.

imrachellea · January 2016

@briterfly84 DH and I had almost this SAME EXACT ISSUE about a month ago. I cried myself to sleep silently next to him one night. This was after multiple times of my being obviously and not so obviously suggestive, which he picked up on neither (including me telling him "you need to get laid tonight..."). When we finally did talk about it, he was able to verbalize to me the issue (which wasn't me at all, so that was a relief). I think the conversation needs to be less of saying what you you want to happen, and discussing why its going on without expectations of it leading anywhere at the moment. That was what worked for us anyway!

briterfly84 · January 2016

Thank you @AmadorRose, @AEG84 , and @imrachellea! It sucks that others have dealt with the same thing, but at the same time, it's oddly comforting to know it's probably not just my whale-sized body...and just a pregnancy phase. I guess I will grow a pair and talk about it with him tonight...

Ready4theParty · January 2016

@briterfly84 your not a lone. DH and I are struggling because I really want it or I dont. He is the same way but we aren't in sync, which makes it super fruatrating. Of course he wants it on the nights I am hormonal or sick. Talk it out I bet it has nothing to do with you.

You're definitely not alone. I'm in a similar boat but understand why - it actually weirds DH out a bit that there's a person in there and that's not really a turn on! I think you'll feel better if you talk it out too.

We started having issues with this a little over a year ago. We went from once a day, to every other day, to once every four days (which is as spread out as I can handle) to once a week or so. I finally got some last night (after ten freaking days) I think he knew I was getting depressed... Especially when I got the "stop touching me, I'm tired" treatment the night before.

Side note: Throwing yourself over in the opposit direction doesn't work so well when you are rotisserie style sleeping!

ivyvines6 · January 2016

Wtf to my boss. We've literally been back for three days and you've sent me over fifty texts! Chill the fuck out lady. I can't force kids to stay enrolled over the holidays, lots of parents overspend for them and the can't afford to keep up for the month of January. It happens. I can't do anything to fix it.

Yeah, we are off schedule with each other too. Add in the fact that just no position seems comfortable and we go for a week or so in between. It sucks.

I can count on both the number of times we've had sex since I got pregnant. Pregnancy has made my libido and my emotions skyrocket, so I took it personally. For DH, it was fear of somehow causing another m/c or hurting baby or me. I spotted and had pain after the few times in the first tri, which freaked him out more. We also work opposite schedules and keep very different hours. It's rough going and it still gets to me sometimes but since we've talked, DH does other things to assure me that he continues to love me and is still attracted to me. Just as he respects my feelings enough to continue reassuring me (like a broken record, but it helps), I've decided to respect that his concern for baby and me is too great to push him into sex.

brit&nate2010 · January 2016

Wtf sil. We moved cross country and lived in mil house for about 6months till we bought our house. A handful of sil little people figures "she is letting mil borrow cause they are expensive" are missing. She claims there are like 30, whatever. I went through all our toys and found only 7 that aren't ours. sorry they got mixed in with ours. I'm not randomly giving you another 23, sorry not sorry. They have been at mil house for atleast 7 yrs. Her kids are 13 & 10. I'm sure over the years they have been lost. We didnt steal your damn toys. Jeez.

Hubby has a low sex drive thanks to Tbi And ptsd anyways. But pregnancy sex from like 25 wks in kinda wierds him out because of baby. Randomly feeling movement mid session, the awkwardness of pregnacy itself. He has told me, he still finds me attractive and beautiful, he doesnt find pregnancy itself sexy/turn on. If that makes sense. This is baby #3. Plus finding the time and energy with a 4 and almost 2yr old ours a damper on things.

AmadorRose · January 2016

WTF Athena?!? I fall asleep for an hour and when I wake up, it looks like a crime scene! She seems tohave destroyed her favorite toy while DH and the cat just watched. I woke up, asked wth happened, and DH said, "I'm just waiting for the police to show up, she murdered her toy." So watching it all go down and not doing anything about it seemed like a good idea?

randilea0110 · January 2016

Wtf pets? I know that DH and I are outnumbered and with the holidays your schedules got all messed up but last night and this morning were unacceptable! The 2 cats were fighting on and off all night waking me up every hour at least. When they weren't fighting the female kept coming into the bedroom and biting the top of my head to let me know that she demanded attention at 3, 4, 5, and 5:30 this morning. I took all 3 dogs outside this morning while DH was in the shower and our big lab/dane mix decided that he didn't want to come in when I called him and tried to bully me by jumping up at my face and chomping his teeth together. He didn't bite me, but he did manage to piss me off, so I had to go back in the house to put on boots to trudge through the snow so I could smack his nose, grab his collar, and drag him back across the yard to get him to go back inside. I apparently went off the deep end when we got back inside because I had a full on emotional meltdown from a combination of hormones and exhaustion. Needless to say the big dog is on my sh*t list today and he knows it because he has been the sweetest dog ever since he entered the house this morning.

WTF DD1. Why are you acting like a brat today. Go ahead and throw a tantrum because you're in time out for smacking Sprocket in the face with your snack cup after I told you to stop. I know you're only 16 months old (almost) but I know you understand me when I say no and then you look me right in the eye, do it again and laugh.

This sounds exactly like my cats. You're telling me I signed up for another cat?

AliSummer · January 2016

WTF glucose test. Monday I drank the glucose drink 1 hour before my appointment. It wasn't horrible, but it wasn't pleasant either. When I arrived at the I was told, snottily, that the lab was closed for lunch. They acted like I should have known that, even though they were the ones who scheduled my appointment during the lunch break. I retook it Tuesday and failed the test with a 166. Now I have to take the 3 hour.

Ready4theParty · January 2016

Wtf MIL? I am tying really hard to cut you some slack bit you make it difficult. DD is going to be a hard one to potty train. Don't put actual underwear on her and expect that will make her want to potty train. Thanks for the mess that I not only have to clean off of DD but also out of my car.

K&Elizabeth · January 2016

WTF to this whole day. Students wrestling over a book then 1 put his face in the toilet... All before 10 a.m. And, surprise, my day rolled even farther down the hill after that.

cosmobella · January 2016

WTF laziness? I didn't have to report for jury duty today (Yay me!) so I stayed home and did some light work. Around noon, I called and scheduled a pedicure for myself at 3:30, only to call at 2:30 and cancel it. I'm so tired and sluggish I didn't feel like getting up and going out to be pampered. Part of me hates myself for it; the other part is like, "meh."

spicedice · January 2016

WTF goes out today in general. The new process at work is a joke. Baby did not want to move all day, so I'm on edge. My doctor's office hasn't gotten back to me about when my glucose test is. I was freezing all day because my office is pretty much outside. I want to do our tax returns already, but my paperwork hasn't come in yet. People keep talking about buying houses, but I know they can't afford the ones that they're showing me... I won't tell them that, so I'm just going to sit here and be annoyed, since I really want to move my little family back into our own place already. My wisdom teeth started hurting.

RoseShadow873 · January 2016

WTF hospital? I tried going to a class there last night about taking care of babies and the instructor just didn't show up. What a waste of time.

misstopsail · January 2016

WTF bff/mom.
I texted my bff and her mom (a second mom to me) to let them know when my shower would be. (They're out of town, so I wanted to give them a heads up for planning if they want to come). BFF = radio silence, and her mom goes 'in 'hometown' right?'
Wrong! I clearly said it'll be here, where I live, seeing as no one in hometown has offered a shower.
So now it's silence from both of them, and I'm a little hurt. Holy Hormones.

spicedice · January 2016

WTF DH? I've been trying to get DS1 to stop putting his hand in everyone's mouth to sleep, and you just go ahead and let him do it because you want him to fall asleep faster? No. That's NOT how you make the behavior go away. Don't let him do it sometimes because you don't feel like fighting him.
