@DoctorDonna I'm printing that motivational quote poster size and hanging it in my office.
Sorry to say H is a twatwaffle today. He left his glass and plate in the livingroom last night and this morning I asked if he could please clean up after himself. He moved the dishes to the kitchen counter next to the sink, and he called me a nag when I asked him to put them IN the dishwasher. Maybe it's the pregnancy hormones but it made me ragey. You are a grown ass man, it's not naggy to ask you to clean up after yourself properly, and I shouldn't have to ask at all.
My twatwaffle today is freaking Groupon Health! I hate them. I was bleeding Friday so I went in for a blood draw/exam. Then my nurse told me to come in again Monday. Yesterday I went in and there were no orders so I had to leave with no blood drawn, late to work, after getting a speeding ticket to get there on time. Ugh. Then I finally got a call that said my numbers were only 202 and it's either an early pregnancy or an early loss. They wanted me to wait till friday for a 2nd draw. Um what? If it's a threatened MC wouldn't they want to see me sooner? Ahhh. So I called 8 times. 8! To see if I could come in sooner. Did not talk to one person. But. I'm here now. They hear my message and ordered one sooner.
I guess mine was more of a twatwaffle monday.. but I was so frustrated!!!
Oh gosh, @SDSwenson I'm so sorry you're dealing with that right now. T&P that everything is fine and that you are just really, really early in your pregnancy. Let us know about your numbers today. I'm thinking about you!
The twatwaffle in my life right now is my dog. He's in his kennel in the other room for generally being a dick today (he ran off when I let him out this morning) and I can still smell his breath. I just can't.
So sorry you're dealing with that @SDSwenson, both the spotting and the incompetent people. FX for you that it's just early in the pregnancy and you see some growth in those numbers!
My sister for me today. Not for a rational reason. I just hate 4 pm dinners. She is having everyone drive up 1.5 hours to do something at her house. Wants people there at 3 with dinner at 4. My son usually sleeps until 3. Both my son and I will require a large snack before bed because we normally eat at 630. Why on earth do we need to eat at 4? 4 pm dinner makes you feel bad about eating much lunch, but is still farther away from lunch than your afternoon snack, which you can't eat because dinner is in an hour.
And to all those who say, oh I can't possibly eat lunch if I'm having dinner at 4, or deny that you need a snack before you go to bed after that dinner, you are a twat waffle too for making me feel like a fatty!
TWT for me is my heartburn/nausea. Also, the incoming freshman, but that's not a new thing. We do this every semester. They're like kids on their way to kindergarten.
My dog is being a twatwaffle...she went outside like 5 minutes ago, came in and peed a huge puddle right underneath our kitchen table. Of course, I am sick right now and the boys were just like "ohh gross, you better clean that up Yvonne, it smells gross." I wanted to be like, "YOU THINK IT SMELLS GROSS HUH? HOW ABOUT YOU CLEAN IT UP!" Obviously it smells gross and it probably smells even worse for me. I had to try not to throw up as I was on my hands and knees cleaning the pee off the floor. Ugh...I guess the kids are, also, being a bit annoying. And DH is driving me insane. When he was sick with this same thing, he stayed home for 3 days straight and barely left his bed- I had to serve him meals and everything. NOW, I have the same thing and I am growing a human inside of me and he doesn't understand why I am too exhausted to take the kids to the library.....REALLY. Ugh.
Everyone...everyone is pushing me toward the brink. But, I am just trying to remember that hopefully by the end of all this, we will have a baby and all these annoying moments will be inconsequential.
@housewifehobbyist I just read an article on scary mommy the other day that really resonated with me! You might relate to it as well... Its basically telling us women to stop saying "Honey, could you help me out and (insert task that is just as much his responsibility as it is yours here) i.e., pour our darling a glass of milk, move your freaking shoes out of the doorway. I never realized that I was making it about him helping me out rather than him manning the hell up and assuming 50% of the responsibility for our home, tiny human, our dog, our vehicles etc etc ETC!! I feel you girl! Hang in there!
Limie That's been the name of this thread for as long as I can remember. Its a generally accepted tittle. @DoctorDonna didn't just make it up for shits and giggles.
My twt is this dang cold I have. I am trying to be really good about enjoying and appreciating every symptom that this pregnancy gives me so I know my little bean is growing big and strong! However this cold is just making me miserable. Thankfully my stuffy nose seems cleared up...but this cough is out of control. It makes my stomach hurt so freaking bad and my RLP act up like crazy! Last night at work I was having such bad coughing fits it would make me puke or at least gag and dry heave.....not cool...not cool at all! I already have a pretty bad case of MS....I don't need any more help there stupid cough!

Although it's now technically Wednesday, my TWT started last night. We told our parents we were expecting only a few days after our BFP but we decided to wait a few weeks before telling siblings. We decided yesterday was the day and DH told all of his siblings. I, on the other hand, was too busy feeling sick and sleeping on the couch feeling hormonal to tell both of my siblings. And now DH and my mom are on my case about how it isn't fair that I told my sister but not my brother. Even though I told both of them I would tell him the next day. Woke up to a text in the middle of the night from my mom about it. . not her news to share and waiting ONE FLIPPING DAY will not hurt anyone. Rant over.
I was a twatwaffle this morning. DH has been so amazing through the early weeks of this pregnancy. I was going to make him molasses cookies and told him so, but then we didn't have enough molasses so I made sugar cookies instead. I told him that also. Then this morning be sees the cookies and says "they are lighter than usual." I said "lighter than what?" He said "the other molasses cookies." And then I flipped out about how he doesn't listen to me, even though he'll say something like "yeah" or "okay" after I tell him something.
And its true he doesn't always listen, but cmon self, you don't have to be a jerk about it especially when he has done twice the household stuff he usually does and has been the nicest person ever.
DD #1: April 2017 DD #2: May 2020 Baby #3: EDD May 2023; MC October 2022
So I'm the total twatwaffle this week. DH is traveling out of the country for work and the travel week was out of his hands in terms of deciding when to go, etc. Well our son's birthday was sunday and mine is today - he's gone way above and beyond to make sure we both had fantastic days. Even went as far as to hide birthday cards/presents for us and sent me a text telling me to go look for them. So sweet right?
Well my jerk self had a complete crying meltdown last night about how much I felt like crap and the 2 yo was pushing my limits. Poor guy had to listen while I completely lost it and he literally can do nothing about it. Ugh.. Going to have to call tonight and tell him it's ok - his wife isn't completely losing it, just slightly. I'm literally counting down the days until he's back. Single moms - I have no idea how they do it! Much respect.
I know it's way late, but I am totally upset and need to get it off my chest. My mom is being a total twatwaffle!
I love her of course and she is amazing in so many ways, but she is also too overbearing and thinks because she is my mother she can voice her opinion about everything because "she's my mom and just being honest". She has no sense of respect and boundaries and can be very manipulative and knows how to make you feel guilty and twist things around.
Quick story: MY DD is 4.5. Based on her PreK teacher we tested her for early entrance into Kindergarten. We really didn't put any pressure, just did it more out of curiosity. Well, turns out she's a little genius and has scored in the top 2% with an well above average IQ. Let me also say that she only goes to PreK twice a week for 2.5 hours each. otherwise she's with my H during the day as he works evenings. So she really does not have much interaction with kids. Long story short we decided to give it a try and start her off this year. Well yesterday my mom (once again) showed up at my house unannounced at 8pm and started saying how extremely sad she is and feels sorry for my DD because we are robbing her of her carefree childhood by putting her in school this year....
She also isn't too fond of my H because he lost his job when DD was very little. We struggled for 2 years and granted he doesn't earn as much as he did then nor is he in the same field, but with our opposite work schedules we are coming out the same since we don't have to pay an arm and a leg for daycare! Anyway, she is very materialistic and my H was great while we were financially stable, as soon as he lost his job it was all his fault. I told her about his promotion yesterday (which is awesome!) and she just said "Well he's doing at least something"
So I already know she will not be excited about this baby and it's seriously the only thing that's keeping me from being completely over the moon!
I know I'm an adult and I won't let her control my life, but I'm emotional as it is, this pregnancy is a huge surprise and all I want is support and positive thoughts around me. The fact that I know I won't get it from my mom totally ticks me off.
I'm so sorry this got so long but I just needed to get that off my chest.
