That's awful:( even if the name isn't everyone's cup of tea they should at least be civil.
@babycanneyWhen we chose DD's name I got no more friendly response from either of our families than "huh. So that's the name?"
Whatever. We love it, and once we were clear that we had decided and were sure I never heard another negative comment. If you love the name, ignore the noise.
I had to snap at my DH tonight because I am SO tired him harassing me about not being hungry. He was playing a game tonight online and he was talking to some people and just goes, "man I really wish my wife would EAT something!" I lost it. I'm so tired of hearing him sigh about me not eating. I AM eating, as much as I can as often as I can. I am trying my best.
I told him, "you think I like not being able to eat? You think I want this?" And he tried to tell me he was "just joking". Horseshit. He wasn't joking and I called him out on it and he knew I was right because he continued to feel bad about it after apologizing. Ugh. Maybe now he'll stop but seriously, WTF?!?
@NavyBride93 I totally get that! My MIL has issues with anorexia and body dysmorphia so if I even think about skipping a meal my husband freaks out. It's so frustrating.

I GOT OUT OF THE SHOWER soaking wet and ran into the kitchen to confront my husband about a comment he made (to himself, that he didn't think I heard) about me not eating. I think my verbatim response was "let's just get a divorce. It would honestly be preferable to continuing this conversation." He's great but I hate being forced to eat while I gag on gross chicken. I'm angry again just thinking about it.
I know it's not Wesnesday anymore but I took Monday off from work so it feels like Wednesday to me...
WTF, why did SO come barging in our room this morning (he fell asleep on the couch last night) and say "Good morning, get up!" even though I was clearly still sleeping and my alarm hadn't gone off yet. Sadly he does this several times a week (puts the lights and music on). He didn't know that I was up from 3-5am this morning (unwillingly) and even when I told him he kept the lights on and talked loudly.
Before the 'morning' sickness, I was drinking 160 ounces a day (that's a gallon and a quart). Now, I'm having trouble choking down more than 60 ounces. I just want to go to sleep instead and eat and drink nothing...
Yeah but then the kid wouldn't have a father, so I think I'm out of luck. If he keeps doing it though I might go sleep at my parent's house for a night (it's always tempting as that is where my cat lives now and he normally lets me sleep in... Plus he's a great cuddler).
It's no longer Wednesday but this first time mama needs to vent. I work at a hospital, doing research, in a separate building from patients. I'm lucky in that a lot of my job can be done from home, and when I do need to come in to work, I sit alone in an office on a different floor from most people. My boss only really knows if I came to work that day if we happen to run into each other in the elevator or subway en route. Despite my isolation, my job still requires me to do things that are standard to the entire hospital - for example, taking a mask fit test to ensure that I have a respirator that fits me perfectly, in the event of a medical outbreak in the hospital. Part of the test involves being sprayed with a bitter chemical while wearing a mask; if you can taste the chemical then the mask isn't on properly. The other background info here is that despite working here for years, I've not been asked to do this test before, and unrelated, now that I'm pregnant, I'm also throwing up 10-12 times a day. I'm not thrilled about the prospect of wearing a mask or being sprayed with bitter chemicals. (I'm even avoiding the dentist until I can get the pukes under control...) When I googled the process and whether it's safe for pregnant women, the answer is a vague consult with your medical practitioner. So I did. My midwife says it sounds like you've worked there for years and haven't needed it, you already throw up with very little triggers, it's unclear what chemical solution they use there, so let's wait until you're not pregnant to do it. Great! Today I contact Occupational Health and Safety to sign whatever waiver they need, and this safety officer literally berated me for half an hour on how I should get a new midwife because she must not know what she's talking about, and I should see a "real doctor" (midwives are trained and registered in Canada, if you are seeing a midwife, insurance does not cover you seeing an OB in addition), and that he thinks I should do it because if there's a SARS outbreak, I'll be sorry. He also said that the statement about consulting with your medical practitioner is just for liability sake and that he doesn't think in my case it's warranted. "If you can have tylenol, you can have this." "Even babies can have this chemical, so your unborn baby should be fine." I asked him for research done on this, and he couldn't provide me with any. He sent me the MSDS sheet on the chemical which has inconclusive evidence in terms of endocrine effects and insufficient evidence to conclude anything in terms of reproductive effects. When I reiterated that given the options, and the unlikely event that I will even need one of these masks here, I would rather wait 6 more months until I've given birth, he told me that I was being irrational and that I get more toxins from pesticides in my food. WTF?! When a woman says her medical practitioner says no, just say give me that in writing and let's call it a day! If there's an outbreak, I'll work from home!!!!!
And then, given the exact chemical info, I did more research and figured out that it probably isn't going to cause birth defects, so he's right, which makes me so much angrier!!!!
Re: WTF Wednesday!
ETA just noticed we already have this thread lol
