Heartburn can go eff itself. Along with sleeping more than 3 hours. I keep having to remind myself that there's less than a month of this shit left (hopefully!!), and that I can do it!!

My official TW today is the coach I made a group of 12 costumes for. Apparently, one of her kids already lost her costume (or so she thinks), and I need to make her a new one. And she needs a Flounder (the fish from Little Mermaid) hat. Sorry, betch. Not gunna happen. I spent way too much time on those costumes and did I even get so much as a thank you? Nope. I don't even know if I'm getting paid for the work I did! Anyways, I told a little white lie, that I was on my way to L&D/Triage due to heavy but irregular contractions. I wasn't lying completely, as I HAVE been having contractions, but we didn't go to the hospital. I just don't want to deal with costumes anymore!!!

Hands down, DH. He complained last night that we were eating dinner in the dining room and that he never gets a chance to sit and relax. This is after he got home 45 minutes late and I'd cooked dinner... He was just being such a whiny dumbass. Meanwhile, I could barely walk due to stabby vag pain. He just feels free to complain about everything and not contribute anything and I have no sympathy for his ass. Especially since he's still in bed now and I've been up with a 3 year old dictator for 2+ hours!

ETA: There are several threads about husbands being clueless/dumb/annoying... I know I am not alone with my TW DH. That makes me feel a little better.

Why do the men think its ok to complain about stupid stuff like that? The last time my H complained about not being able to relax after coming home late from work was almost the last time he got a home cooked meal! Its like, really jerk face?? I just slaved in the kitchen making your favorite meal for you to act like a douche? Don't think so.

Sorry mama!!

My job is a TW today... it's usually pretty boring and I am always hoping a new project will come up, but I didn't really need that project to come up right before my maternity leave. My boss seems to think it makes sense for me to be in charge of trying to get this thing accomplished, while doing my regular tasks and re-training the people who covered my tasks last time I was out.

I have to admit, part of the problem is that I can't even focus on my routine tasks for more than a few hours a day, so how the hell am I going to get this extra stuff done? I have a month, or possibly LESS, left to go - does no one realize that this will not get done?!

The return of the ads! TB is, yet again, a twattwaffle.

GinnyJ2012 · May 2016

These ads! It's taking a long time to load pages, and I can already see the battery life on my phone decreasing rapidly.

My TW is my body. This morning I had a little leak to wear a teeny bit ran down my leg. Now I've been having discharge all throughout pregnancy so I'm not sure if that's just what it was and baby just pushed a bit harder and it came out quicker. Now i'm keeping an eye out since IM a FTM and I'm 38 weeks today.

Oops *where* not wear

DH's aunt. DH and his extended family aren't close. Besides the wedding 5.5yrs ago, DH hasn't seen or spoken to his aunt since he was a teenager (about 17 or 18 years ago). At the wedding, though, aunt got sh*tfaced and proceeded to tell me how I did too much for my family and not enough for his, and how I was "okay", but they were all really there to see DH because it was DH that they loved, not me. It was awesome. Now my MIL, aware of this outburst, tells me that the aunt wants to come visit the newborn a few weeks after it's born. Seriously?!?!?! I'm fairly certain I'll be stressed out enough without having to endure a woman I loathe.

TW today is the family members who keep telling me "itll get worse." Sure, im uncomforable but they have been telling me all throughout pregnancy that it inly gets worse. They must of had pregnancys that were much worse or they complained about every single thing that happened to them because its not like the pain is so bad i cant function. I understand for some pregnancies its really rough.. But for me it hasnt been and hearing over and over that its going to get worse is annoying. Our bodies were meant to do this. I have two weeks left, hopefully, and im content. Quit telling me it will get worse...

I've taken a break from this app for a while but I'm back... So here's today's twatwaffle...

My my ex-husband's sister-in-law. We have known each other since like second grade. And I know how she can be. And yet still I manage to get annoyed by it. She tends to be super competitive about who does things better.

Today's competition - who had the better marriage and which one of our husband's is more helpful.... I made the mistake of joking about hiring someone to come deep clean the apartment before the baby comes and apparently this means my husband doesn't care about our marriage and is forcing me to be a single mom while all he does is work (my husband is working 60+ hour weeks so I can be a stay at home mom and I don't think it's fair of me to ask him to help me clean just because I can't bend over to scrub the dang floors).

Seriously... When does this stop? It's not like we're 8 weeks pregnant! Does this continue until the kids are fully grown?

Yes, yes it does. If you ever say "we had a rough night, baby is cutting his first tooth" someone is bound to say "wait until it's a molar!" Or something else ridiculously obnoxious. Someone with older kids ALWAYS feels the need to warn you about the terrors that lie ahead. It's hands down the least helpful crap I've ever encountered in my (short, albeit) parenting career.

Stupid lady at work. I was talking about my pregnancy with another lady (Lady 1) and on her way out of my office, she starts talking to the lady whose office is right near mine (Lady 2), who no one particularly likes. It's like one of those awkward conversations where someone is talking about you because they know you can hear, so they aren't talking behind your back, but you aren't actually in the conversation...

Lady 1 says oooh, did you know she's having a girl? And Lady 2 is like "Oh, a girl! No, she said it was a boy!" Uhhhh, no I didn't, moron! Why on earth would I have said that?! And then Lady 1 is like "Now she can quit!" and Lady 2 is like "Oh, yeah, and do her REAL job full-time"

What in the HELL does any of that mean!? First of all, I NEVER said I was quitting, so can we not make shit up out of nowhere?? Also, I'm already doing my real full-time job AND raising my kids. F you! Morons.

I would have walked my fat ass over there and "corrected" them. Bitches.

So true! I'm trying really hard to not do that to my SIL. Her LO is almost 5 months and I'm trying to just be sympathetic, and let her know things do get better even if it takes time. I hope it's helpful! I don't ever want to be the "just wait it gets worse" person!
