WTF to my neighbor's dogs who are incessantly barking, and have been ALL morning! Their vocal chords have got to tire soon.

KilgraveMadeMeDoIt · May 2016

WTF week?!

i have barely had any time to myself at all for the last week. I've been up to midnight or later almost every day getting stuff done and I just don't have enough time. I've been absent from the board because of this and probably will be a bit longer.

I want cake. And sleep.

hellopartyof5 · May 2016

WTF DS. Up at 3am until 4, and I had to wake up at 5. Yayyyy.

BmcD2016 · May 2016

Wtf fatigue?

Ive been mostly ok this pregnancy, but get to week 11 and I feel like I'm gonna pass out at my desk.

Thewizardofrhythm · May 2016

I have canker sores all over my tongue. It hurts so bad. Waaaaaaa! My kid had this last week though so it was bound to happen I guess.

This exactly. I've been slightly more tired up to this point, but this week I can't keep my eyes open. I'm at week 13 and struggling to get through the work day. Yesterday I actually took a 5 minute nap at my desk. I didn't have another option.

I just took a 10 minute during my break.

WTF, pregnancy dreams? I was excited when I first heard that they were a common "symptom," because I generally enjoy waking up from a vivid dream, but nearly all of mine have been so stressful, violent, and sad, I want out!! I had one last night that I somehow accidentally asphyxiated my dog with a washcloth, and another that H kept asking me to slice his back with a serrated bread knife as a sort of "love tattoo." I don't know where my brain gets this stuff, but it's givin' me the creeps..!

Chiming in on the WTF fatigue.

And wtf for having such a stuffy nose that I have to walk around like a mouthbreathing chowderhead all day, every day. Oh, and not be able to sleep at night cause I can't breathe.

I'm sorry, but the "love tattoo" cracked me up. I actually loled at work.

LindsayLuLu27 · May 2016

Ok... WTF!! Why are people allowed to still post when literally ALL of the threads they start or offend people on get shut down by the admin?!?!

While I love the drama at times...it's stupid and redundant information being asked!!! Ok pregnant rant over!

MrsBigTime · May 2016

WTF spray paint?!? All the DIY shows make it looks so easy and everything looks flawless - everything I do comes out terribly! Plus, the darn stuff is expensive, especially when you need to buy twice as much as you think you need because it looks so bad you need to redo it!

muybueno · May 2016

WTF infertility. Several of my good friends are getting destroyed lately. It's so f-ing unfair.

butterkup-2 · May 2016

I have always been an 8-8 1/2 hr/night sleeper. Lately I have been waking up around 6 hours, fully awake and refreshed. This doesn't sound bad, but DH is on the same schedule as me; for 2 hours I just lay there, half trying to fall back to sleep for the sake of routine, and half trying to not be bored out of my mind without getting out of bed.

zuuls_mom · May 2016

WTF food? Why can't you taste like you should? Everything tastes weird/different to me. I miss when food was delicious!

campbaby76 · May 2016

Wtf DS?
I get that the storm woke you at 10:30 but that doesn't mean that's it for the night. Awake from 10:30-4:30... I hate everyone and everything today.

zuuls_mom · May 2016

@campbaby76 I am so sorry! That sounds truly awful.

LikeICantEven · May 2016

WTF BIL.

We Skyped my husband's parents last night to surprise them with the baby's sex. You'll remember my frustration with my MIL in particular regarding her insistence on hounding us about it. I told DH he needed to be the one to tell her as I can't stomach her right now. I stayed out of the camera shot to film her reaction for DH's sake. They're connected and she mentions DH's brother is right there too. Sweet. It goes well, no inappropriate comments until....

After she claps and freaks out, she reiterates to BIL across the room (who can't be bothered to join the call)that it's a boy. She looked into the camera and said, "he's disappointed." like I'm supposed to apologize?

Um, fuck right off, the both of you. Couldn't have filtered that? Have to shit on our happy moment? Pardon my language but I was so angry. I shoved my camera down, pushed into the shot and said, " WELL, HE CAN HAVE THE GIRL IF HE WANTS ONE SO BAD." which, was lame in retrospect but I was shocked and trying to maintain my temper.

BIL has 2 boys. SIL has 2 boys. We are about to have our 2nd, and that's all he cares about? Get over yourself, ya knob. Now we can't ever show Little Chunk that video, I'd never hurt him like that.

This has been me since shortly after BFP. But the "fully awake and refreshed" only lasts 3 or so hours, and then I'm just completely exhausted.

MrsDho11 · May 2016

@HomeyDontPlayThat - ugh, that stinks. Can you cut the video short and just have the initial reaction?

My WTF is to the cat. It was a morning where I actually manage to sleep past 6am, and he just got right in my face and started meowing. Eventually I gave up and he didn't actually want anything. I'm telling myself it was a wellness check... he was concerned because I don't sleep in. But I'm knowing he's just an asshole.

It is the worst when you can and should be sleeping but aren't able to. I slept in the guest room on Mother's Day eve because my gift to myself was supposed to be a good night's sleep, but it took me like 3 hours to actually fall asleep.

atcwag · May 2016

WTF to my MIL. She called to tell DH last night that his dad was being lifeflighted to a larger hospital about 40 miles away literally as we could hear the copter flying over our house. No other info and literally minimal at best info today. Hello?!?! Someone doesn't go on a $20,000 helicopter ride for no reason.

It's smack in the middle, but yeah, good idea. I don't think there's much worth watching after her reaction anyways.

The funny thing is, right after we told her the sex, I popped in the shot a second and TOLD her I was filming. Yet she still repeated his comment. Smooth move, ex-lax.

sweetlyuntied · May 2016

Mine is kind of good!
WTF schedulers? I work 12 hour days but this is uncommon at my work - in order to do it I always work the after-hours session, where only a few providers are scheduled. Anyway, our schedulers forgot to put an MD on with me, and in my state it's illegal for NPs to see patients without MD support (it may not strictly be illegal but there can be legal implications).

Anyway, I was annoyed until I learned that their solution was to just let me leave at 7! Woo hoo!

edit: clarity

lilwonder · May 2016

@HomeyDontPlayThat - what a dickwad! I'm sorry you had to hear that, seriously. If it's not one in-law, it's another.

DunkinDecaf · May 2016

@atcwagthat's so scary! I hope your FIL is okay. I'd be furious with her.

msu_gal · May 2016

I told my boss finally and he asked me if it was planned...WTF? I'm 34 and married... Even if it wasn't planned (which it absolutely was!), none of your business...

grannysmith912 · May 2016

@msu_gal I think that's just an automatic response for a lot of people when they don't know what else to say, but still... manners, people!!

msu_gal · May 2016

I wish I had the frame of mind to say, "no, I just really like sex". I'm HR, so I'm sure that would have made his chin hit the ground.

butterkup-2 · May 2016

My work (right before they "let me go") said they were afraid I was going to just get pregnant and quit.

ETA: I really liked everyone I worked with (and still do), but seriously, what a slap in the face.

Little+Tiny · May 2016

WTF to this annoying cystic acne that pregnancy has blessed me with.
Also WTF pregnancy dreams- why am I dreaming of Michelle Obama with the body of a giant caterpillar? That was beyond scary.

I'd just cut it off before MIL shares it with your BIL. He wants to act like a child, he doesn't get to be in the video.

ETA: whoops, sorry just saw your response to someone else saying the same thing. That'll teach me not to hit refresh after stepping away for a while...

DunkinDecaf · May 2016

Hahaha @Butterkupthat gif is my favorite thing ever. Also that's some grade A bullshit.

DunkinDecaf · May 2016

WTF dizziness?! It's GORGEOUS outside, and after playing outside for less than an hour the heat had me feeling kinda faint and we had to come back in. I feel like one of those useless delicate women from old movies who would fan themselves and faint when anything dramatic happened.

eta: WTF internet?! Why is it so hard to find a good gif of that?!

butterkup-2 · May 2016

@DunkinDecaf I was pissed. I might understand if nobody had kids there...but that was not the case. After I got back from my honeymoon I felt like I was being treated differently, but didn't understand why since the quality of my work had not gone down at all. Then, it all made sense.

They can't just fire you for getting pregnant though. Labor laws don't allow that horseshit, do they? I feel like every time I'm sure something like that is illegal there's some loophole that allows it in one case or another. Get your shit together, USA.

Thankfully I got a new job the same week I proposed to my husband, because I know my old boss would have said something like that. People are dicks.

butterkup-2 · May 2016

If I would have been pregnant at the time, it would be different. I didn't get pregnant until about 2 weeks later (ha) so I wasn't technically protected.
Plus, since nothing was recorded, it would be my word against theirs, and Oregon is an At-Will employment state (meaning they don't need reason to terminate employment). My employment contract with them stated otherwise, but it takes a lot of negative energy to focus and act on that. I wish them the best as a company, but believe in Karma.

ETA: The business had 100% women employees, which made it even more horse shit.

DunkinDecaf · May 2016

@Butterkup Boo to that company. Booooo. Boo. People are the worst sometimes.

g8rmama_16 · May 2016

Wtf I took a nap and woke up and Little+Tiny is banned? What drama did I miss???
