Twatwaffle Tuesday (8/9)

Sorry if I am stealing someone's thunder by posting this, but I needed a place to bitch!

My OBs office is the twatwaffle today. My TSH, which I have been patiently waiting to come back was "never processed". It's the one test I want to know because I am pretty sure it's out of whack and why I feel extra crappy, but being an RN, I know that phrases like "never processed" usually means someone effed up, and they probably never sent it out. So yay to needing to get my blood drawn again. Stupid mofos.

I would feel bad calling her a name but my H's gma really hurt my feelings last night. We let them know that we were pregnant and you would have thought I handed her a poop sandwhich. She just stared at me like I pulled the pin from a grenade and said "oh no".

The last time I told her I was pregnant she said "Oh no!! You JUST got your figure back!" I'm never telling her I'm pregnant EVER AGAIN.

One of my coworkers is my twatwaffle today. I bought a sandwich yesterday and only ate half of it. So I put it in the fridge and was planning on eating the other half today. I went to get it out of the fridge and someone threw it away because they thought it smelled.

It had only been in there a few hours! How bad could it have possibly smelled? Also, why don't you send an email out an ask people before you throw it out? I would have removed it and brought it home for DH to eat. And then I would have known that I didn't have a lunch today and would have brought something in instead of spending $10 on an unexpected lunch today.

I'm over here feeling very Ross right now...

This lady that I vaguely know heard that I am pregnant through my MIL and she took the time to type on my facebook wall "Wow... Why?" We know eachother only through DH's family and I have never spoken a full sentence to her so I don't know why she was so comfortable to question the rate at which I have children. (This will be my fourth baby in four years. People apparently frown on that and I have not yet had a 'congratulations' from anyone.)

I feel like I have to vent, because my ex found out through a friend I was pregnant (Not even sure how unless my family told her). Now my phone is blowing up because he's so sorry he never realized how much I meant to him until now, and that he didn't realize how much I had wanted our relationship to go to the next level.

Keep in mind he left me back in 2012, tried to keep me around for three years so last year I called it quits. That's when I started dating my SO and the two of us have the best relationship I could ask for ever. I would never leave him for anything, especially now that we have a little one on the way, but damn is my ex trying to get his way back into my life...

Skyjewell23 · August 2016

@jessjoelmasse that's awful. The size of your family is your decision. She can shove it. You do you lady

jem89 · August 2016

@Skyjewell23 Thank you, lovely. I truly appreciate the positivity.

nicklesb · August 2016

@jessjoelmasse I'd love to post back at her for you. People are so vile!

CanadianintheSouth · August 2016

@jessjoelmasse Congratulations!!!!

Eta: other people are jerks. The only thing you should ever say to someone when you find out they are pregnant is congrats

AverageAsh · August 2016

@jessjoelmasse I would end her so quick. What a jerk!

Skyjewell23 · August 2016

The only twatwaffle I have right now is the office microwave. It takes FOREVER to heat things up and I really want my pizza pocket.

But the day is still young. Lots of opportunities for twatwaffles.

jem89 · August 2016

Thanks for all the support ladies!!! I'm relieved that everyone agrees that was terribly mean. I thought I was being sensitive. @CanadianintheSouth THANK YOU!!!

howdthathappen · August 2016

@jessjoelmasse and @AverageAsh I'm so sorry you got responses like that! What jerks! Some people are just so unhappy they can't even be happy for others.

librarymom917 · August 2016

My dang printer crapped out this morning when I was trying to print the "First Day of Kindergarten" sign for pictures for my daughters first day... ugh so now I'm seeing all these cute photos with signs and we won't have one

kiyamurph · August 2016

@jessjoelmasse Congrats girl. What did you say back to her, if you responded at all? I just don't understand people sometimes. It amazes me how pregnancy somehow opens the door to inappropriateness. People feel like they can say whatever the hell they want and not give a crap that they're hurting your feelings. When I was near the end of my pregnancy with my 2 year old, I was at work and I had a lady come up to me and ask how far along I was. I said 37 weeks, and she says, "oh, well no wonder you look the way you do." W.T.F?! I wanted to slap her!

jem89 · August 2016

@kiyamurph Wow. That is so mean. I just don't understand people. The fact that you were working at the end of your pregnancy, to me, deserves applause lol. As far as my response, I literally said nothing. I've left it up with no response. I'm hopeful that she wonders why someone who responds to everything else is unwilling to acknowledge her comments. I was also just in shock and had nothing good to say back lol.

It would be interesting to say "why not?" and see if she has the balls to say anything.

PattersRN · August 2016

@jessjoelmasse whoa....wtf is wrong with people?! I would have deleted her comment and unfriended her. That's completely uncalled for.

jem89 · August 2016

@howdthathappen I thought about that but I genuinely don't want to hear why she thinks I shouldn't have another baby. I'm not a perfect mother but I am doing my very best and I don't want to find out how badly she thinks I am doing. She is a very straight laced person who is very strict with her kids. I have toddlers who wear crazy outfits that never match and my two year old exclusively wears rainboots. We don't look put together (well we aren't) but we have a lot of fun... Sorry for the novel, just giving my back story lol.
@PattersRN I am considering unfriending her, especially since I never announced my pregnancy so I am dreading the responses when I do.

Oh for sure. I think you did the right thing. Sometimes the right thing just doesn't feel very satisfying. haha

jem89 · August 2016

@howdthathappen I feel like you just worded that perfectly.

And sorry to all that I kind of took this thread over!!

rainafire77 · August 2016

The twatwaffle today is the asshat who didn't make sure that his metal trailer lift was properly attached to said trailer which caused it to fly off on the freeway while I was behind him! Thank goodness I had just taken the exit so it missed hitting my car by seconds. Would have come right through my windshield.

On a lighter note, the other twatwaffles are the vendors we're trying to book for our wedding in January who apparently don't respond to emails or phone calls!! AURGH!

My grandma is really not happy about my pregnancy, too. She did not enjoy being a mom and would prefer if her female granddaughters never had kids. (She's always very excited for her male grandkids to procreate.)

Agreed. I work at an alternate school where over 1/3 og the female students are pregnant or parenting. Whenever a student tells me she is pregnant, I make sure to congratulate her during the conversation. Her life is about to get way harder, true. But babies always deserve to be celebrated.

wintersong · August 2016

I'm a twatwaffle because I am too lazy to ever combine my replies in one post. Mobile bumping is annoying yo. Sorry for the multiple posts!!

WHY ARE OLD PEOPLE SO WEIRD?!?!

meq124 · August 2016

So when my mom was pregnant my grandmother (her MIL) told her to go ahead and throw out her wardrobe because she will never lose the baby weight, yet when I was pregnant she told me that she gained 40lbs and lost it all within the first 2 months without diet or exercise and that I would have no problem losing the weight. No clue what makes old people so hateful towards loved ones!

Right? I don't get what makes old people so weird! My fiancé has made me swear I won't go mean old lady like my mother did.

emmaknits · August 2016

Roto Rooter is a twatwaffle. They came to excavate and change a pipe...showed up an hour early and then spent 5 hours digging a hole in my yard and still couldn't find the pipe. Are you kidding me?! And now they'll be back tomorrow so they better have it figured out!

sunshine507 · August 2016

@meq124 oh man, I'd be livid. I hope they get you in for a test ASAP!

my mother in law tells me im fat all the time. im actually not overweight to begin with. I wear size 2-4 5'2". when I was married I dropped to 00. I gained a bunch back so she is on the whole. she is fat she cant take care of herself crap, actually I just like to eat. anyways. she told me in front of the whole family that once I have kids I will just keep getting fatter and fatter anyways.

they are crazy. luckily my hubby is very supportive. "gain the weight for the bear bears, and we can lose it together later!"

I hate her.
