Twatwaffle Tuesday 5/3

I don't really have a specific person as a twatwaffle - more of just a task I have to do now. My boss is worried I could go into labor at any moment now, and they won't know where I'm at on emails and work products. I was asked today that at the end of each day I send an email with things that still need to be followed up on, so if I don't show up tomorrow, then they can follow-up. I totally get the idea behind it, but what a PITA to have to recap everything that you're waiting on at the end of every day. That's why I cc: you people!

    Ah, just the post I was looking for! My husband randomly tells me this evening that he isn't going to get me a mother's day gift. I'm being induced on Thursday, so everybody has been telling him how he needs to get me something, and I guess he decided it was just too much pressure. Anyway, as I'm feeling very emotional anyway, I started to cry so I just got up and walked away, which pissed him off. He kept following me and trying to argue, but if any of you ladies are like me, you understand how hard it is to even get words out when you are crying. This all made him mad, since he thought I was sobbing because I want presents I guess? He just doesn't get it. This is the most emotional week of my life and I'm terrified and worried and anxious, and I basically feel like he just told me that all the stuff I've been through during pregnancy doesn't warrant him putting effort into a gift. Oh well, guess I'll delete the list of things I had saved to get him for Father's day.

    @TheThornBird  haha thanks, I know! The annoying part is that he said all of these stupid things (he feels pressure, giving presents give him anxiety, etc.) and I was crying too hard to even respond. I ended up getting in the car and driving away for a little bit, because I just needed space, and so I tried to text him explaining what was going on/why I couldn't talk in person, but then the text was so long that it sent it to him in like 11 messages that were out of order, so he didn't try to read it. But yeah, that was one of my biggest things that I wanted to say. SO SORRY YOU FEEL PRESSURE RIGHT NOW WHILE I PREPARE TO HAVE MY BODY TORN APART! I'm trying to keep it very much about me and my emotions and not call him out for being a total idiot, because then he'll feel worse later when he realizes he totally messed up haha

    Edited to say that his reasoning, besides it being too much pressure (lol) was that I told him I wasn't giving him an anniversary present a few days ago. Our anniversary is next week, and I told him not to worry about that because I know he hates presents and I figured we would just skip it, especially because I already got him a "welcome to fatherhood" gift, which I did tell him about.

    @Jparke2 That was a shitty move on his part. 

    ...which leads me to say that my DH is my TW today. He started saying that he was going to have a yard sale this Saturday/Sunday to which I responded "ok, Sunday is Mother's day". And he replied with "oh awesome, a lot of mothers love to yard sale...." then continued to say all irritated-like, "unless you had plans or something". *Face palm*. Like dude, seriously, I've only had 3 of our children so far and you can't take a day, Mother's Day of all days, to recognize that. Ugh. I ALWAYS go all out on Father's Day. So I'm with you @Jparke2 if he isn't going to acknowledge me, then I won't acknowledge him.

    Short story: Father's Day 2014, I took DH, our 2 boys, me and my BIG pregnant OVER DUE belly to this off the beaten path, no service, hard to get to, beautiful creek and made him an amazing lunch that he wanted with his favorite beer... I was literally on my hands and knees climbing up and down this steep hill because my giant belly was really throwing me off. That's dedication for the man... and now he wants throw another yard sale.  :D

    Whats with these guys!? I don't get it! I know my husband is capable of doing very sweet, planned out things. But then when I actually express to him that he better do something (and I'm not asking for anything crazy here, maybe flowers? A small gift? Food would work!), he throws a fit like I'm being demanding! I hope we both have good Mother's Days despite our husbands!!

    I feel like if your LO is here for Mother's Day, you should get a gift. Our LO isn't even here yet and I ALREADY have DH's Father's Day gift.

    Our anniversary was April 27. We went out to dinner between pumping and nicu feeding sessions but DH did not get me anything. I got him something small but hey, I put forth the effort! I feel like he better step it up for Mother's day.
