Twatwaffle Tuesday 8/23

joyful08 · August 2016

lets hear who your twatwaffle is today!

peachesnbean · August 2016

My mom is being a total TW. She is so dramatic and loves attention. Its a long story but she is getting a hotel when she visits this weekend, claiming she won't be comfortable in our house. It is a waste of money and just the way she worded things I feel like she is trying to manipulate an overnight stay with my kids, which is just insane to me. Now she is saying she isn't going to come and I told her to do what she wants, I am not going to beg her to come... I can't stand her dramatics or attention whoring anymore. If she doesn't show up this weekend after telling my kids she was, I am done with her for awhile.

PerraSucia · August 2016

@peachesnbean was she always this selfish or did she get older and worse? My mom just decided she was done parenting when I was like 10. Neither my sister or I have any contact with her and it doesn't even seem like she really gives a fuck about it. Which now as a parent I'm BLOWN away by.

peachesnbean · August 2016

@PerraSucia- no this is pretty much par for the course as long as I can remember. She has a "mild" form of Munchausen by Proxy (never made us sick, just took us to a zillion doctors and spewed lies). Whenever I am having no problem in my life she turns it into hers and I end up apologizing. When my SIL passed in a freak accident she blamed that for why she started smoking again and cried and cried and took bereavement time but never came to visit us even though I begged her. Btw this is my husbands sister, not anyone she is related to... Ugh. Anyway. She pulled this ish before DD1 1st dance recital. She threw a fit and I refused to indulge her so she didn't come, my daughter was devastated. I'm just done indulging her.

yogadevil · August 2016

The army. The army is my twatwaffle. We just got wind of DH's next deployment and he's devastated that he would miss so much of his baby's first year. I thought we had more time

Jlk2016 · August 2016

My OB..... My appointment was @10am and its 10:30 and I'm still waiting...... Ugh

bdesterhouse · August 2016

I'm the twat waffle. My anxiety with this pregnancy is out of control. I am ready for some real hard movements so this anxiety can decrease slightly and I can quit being a twat waffle with these roller coaster emotions.

Xstatic3333 · August 2016

That sucks @yogadevil. I'm so sorry.

poofwok · August 2016

I'm so sorry @yogadevil. I'm sad for both of you!

tishb · August 2016

Like @bdesterhouse said, I'm also the TW today. Went out with some friends for dinner last night, and left my debit card at the restaurant. I only realized this when I stopped to by myself breakfast this morning on the way to work! Credit card was at home, and I never have cash on me. So no breakfast, and no money for me

I'm hoping DH will swing in on one of his work outings today.

PerraSucia · August 2016

@peachesnbean it's so hard. My mom is slightly like that and makes everything about her. Like you could call her and be like "mom I have cancer" and she would tell you about one time she had a really bad cold. I guess in that way I'm glad she's far away and not part of our lives, because watching her break my kids hearts over and over again would kill me.

Gretchypoo · August 2016

I'm so sorry @yogadevil. I hope he will have some time with baby before he needs to leave.

yogadevil · August 2016

@peachesnbean how stressful

she's being unfair and I'm sorry your family has to deal with the fallout

@Gretchypoo dates are still up in the air, but adding in the training beforehand and the situation just plain sucks. Fingers and toes crossed that the army does a dice roll in our favor and a different unit goes instead or something. I hate saying that because it's like unpatriotic or something, but I'm feeling selfish and vulnerable right now

bdesterhouse · August 2016

@tishb I hope your hubby can come to your rescue. Got to love preggo brain, thankfully my husband has been double checking every time we leave a resturant that I have everything because I have a tendancy to leave stuff places.

Gretchypoo · August 2016

@yogadevil not unpatriotic at all! You deserve to be selfish right now. I hope it works out. Either way, facetime or skype will hopefully be an option. It is a super hard situation but you're not alone. *hugs*

WinchesterGirl · August 2016

@tishb That sucks... I had that happen once (left my debit card in a different pants pocket). I started leaving $10 in my desk drawer for emergencies. Of course, I've never done it since.

@yogadevil I don't think you're selfish at all. It sucks that he may get deployed at such an important time.

@peachesnbean You are definitely doing the right thing by not giving in when she throws a fit, but it really sucks that she's making promises to your kids.

PerraSucia · August 2016

@yogadevil man that's rough time to be a single mom.. are you close with your family?

I'm sorry! My husband found out he was deploying when I was pregnant with our first. He left when he was 2 weeks old and came home 4 days after his first birthday. It's rough getting to see all the awesome things they do the first year when your SO is gone.

Skype wasn't an option for my husband but we got a recordable book and had my husband record his voice. I played it every day for DS and talked about H all the time. He took to him right away when he came home.

yogadevil · August 2016

@Gretchypoo Skype has definitely saved us in the past! It's just twisting my stomach that a baby won't understand skype, or know it's own father when he comes home. Gah, I can't think about it

fourPsinapod · August 2016

Wendy's is a TW for forgetting salt on my fries.

tishb · August 2016

DH is my hero! He ordered Jimmy John's for me. It's been so long since I've had lunch meat. I'm a little excited

peachesnbean · August 2016

@PerraSucia If I told my mom I had cancer it would be "oh my daughter has cancer! I am so heartbroken. I don't know how I can possibly function. I keep thinking about what I did wrong." All the time. KWIM?

@yogadevil - I am so sorry about the deployment. You are so strong and brave.

MLRocha · August 2016

I am a TW today. I put on pants that I knew would be uncomfortable because I have to go in the board room today. This means I've been standing all day (I have a standing desk w/ chair option) because sitting is unbearable. Which means my feet will be swollen ridiculously by tonight.

peachesnbean · August 2016

My BFF (who we live with) is struggling with IF. They just got all their hormone tests back and his sperm analysis and everything looks normal. She's laid out ground rules as far as what we can/can't talk about and the jist of it is we can talk about me being pregnant, we can talk about her struggles, we can't talk about them together. So, its a difficult line I walk on a daily basis, and God has been teaching me a lot through this. Sometimes when I want to tell her something I stop and tell myself to think about it as if she weren't struggling with IF, I would want to tell my very best friend! Anyway, I just asked her to come pick out yarn with me for baby's blanket and I feel like a douche because she hasn't replied yet and I just remembered her period is due in a few days.

BlondePeanut · August 2016

My husband is being a major TW. I had to take him to the ER this morning for a back injury, this guy injures himself more than anyone I've ever heard of, but that is a different story all together. I was hours late to work to get him there, and then to get him home and settled in bed with some food. He was very sweet and thankful for my support. No biggie, it is what spouses do for eachother. I got a call from him 5 minutes ago (I'm still at work) screaming at me because he can't find band aids. Screaming and I could barely understand him, almost sounded like a beligerant drunk person making no sense. I told him twice the dog got into the first aid kit and wrecked them, our kit got chewed up so whatever is left of its contents are in the closet. Then he screams where? where? are you stupid? where are the band aids? I told this idiot 6 times and finally he says oh ok. Then he calls back, and has the audacity to call me a stupid bitch because "I failed to tell him there are no band aids and he needs one right the fuck now so I better get some on my way home since I failed to relay proper info. inbred something or other". I hung up on him after that and texted him that he is a total fucking asshole and never speak to me that way again EVER and I mean it. What a total asshole! Sorry you are in pain buddy, sorry you wrecked your lumbar muscles and were miserable as fuck today which was not my fault, you did that shit at work. But do not ever call me and talk to me like that EVER, pregnant or not. The dog house would be a luxury compared to where he is right now. I am appalled and embarassed to even share this. Where the hell did my husband go all of a sudden? The stupid pain meds they pumped him FULL of in the ER must have something to do with this because he would never act this way, he was happy and loopy when I left him to go to work....wtf. I wanted to go home early just to punch him right in the face. So disgusted. I am thinking of booting him to his Moms house for a while for that tirade. He needs to know that totally out of character or not, that was just disgusting degrading inhumane behavior. One time or not. Fuck that. Sorry for my curses, now I sound like the jerk.

scifichick09 · August 2016

My TW is the company I work for. Everyone in our office was of the understanding that a certain situation is definitely covered, but when we called regional, 5 different people in 5 different departments told us it definitely is NOT covered...but then the 6th and 7th person (both being senior "specialists", so high on the chain of command) we talked to said it most definitely IS covered. So basically, nobody fucking knows and I still have no idea if we are correct or not. Ugh! How can so many different people have a different answer?!

Partyof6? · August 2016

@BlondePeanut that is completely unacceptable. If you think it was a reaction to pain meds that's one thing, but I would seriously kick him out to his mother's. I can't even imagine my husband talking like that to me.

Gretchypoo · August 2016

Shit @BlondePeanut I hope that is just the pain meds making him like that. do you feel safe going home? do you have a friend who could go home with you just in case?

lfrank12 · August 2016

@BlondePeanut I really hope his behavior is just an awful side effect from the medications. Either way, that is no excuse to say that stuff to you! Pregnant or not, if my husband called me a stupid bitch he would be out of the house as fast as I could throw his keys and phone out the door.

ETA: I agree with @Gretchypoo, you should maybe bring a friend home with you if you don't feel safe going home to him in this state

birdiejo · August 2016

@BlondePeanut oh my gosh that sounds awful! What he said was unacceptable !

BlondePeanut · August 2016

@Partyof6? I couldn't believe it either!!! Never in my life would I imagine him acting this way.
On a better note, I am going home to a nice peaceful house....his Dad picked him up. He thinks he is having a reaction from the pain meds, he said he is totally out of it, talking nonsense and swearing his head off, and then fell down like he is drunk and got all scraped up. They are going back to the hospital to try and get him sedated and figure out why he is reacting like this to the medication. I will leave that to them, and I will enjoy my nice peaceful house. He is not welcome back unless he is a normal human being again. Otherwise he can stay with his Dad and his Dad can deal with it.
Thanks for your concern @Gretchypoo

yogadevil · August 2016

@BlondePeanut that is unacceptable. If you don't feel comfortable going home, or he won't go to his mom's, do you have someplace safe to go tonight?

bdesterhouse · August 2016

@BlondePeanut your husband and my FIL must be on the same pain killers. Last night he called my husband to help him get out of bed (back story: he has stage 4 cancer and is recovering from pneumonia and hurt his back a few weeks ago not listening to us and tried weed waking his yard) and while on the phone he called my MIL some few choice words similar to that of what your husband called you. I'm sorry that happened to you, in pain or not, he needs to know it's not right and should apologize. I told my husband the same thing about my FIL. It was completely out of character for him (They have the marriage that most people dream of having in regards to how people should be treated and valued) to talk about my MIL like that or to call her names

I hope he apologizes when you get home.

Gretchypoo · August 2016

@BlondePeanut I'm glad his dad came to pick him up. It sounds like the meds are causing him to behave completely out of character. I hope they get him sorted out soon. I doubt he'll even remember calling you or what he said. I'm sorry you've got this stress!

tishb · August 2016

I have a new TW... Whoever set my kids' school on fire! The school had a fire a few weeks ago and we had to find a new building because the old building had too much smoke damage and the gym was a loss. Today the fire has officially been ruled arson.

PerraSucia · August 2016

Whoaly shit what pain killers make you a pyschopath

BlondePeanut · August 2016

Thanks @bdesterhouse - he will be with his Dad at the hospital for a while, but once he is clear headed again, I am going to have a talk with him and except a sincere apology. Just like @Gretchypoo said, I don't think he will even remember it. I hope your FIL apologized. These darn meds seem to really mess with certain people. They gave hubby some IV narcotic pain meds and were surprised he was still coherent when we left, although he was loopy as can be and just acting kind of goofy at that point...so they had to be very strong.

LaurenAshley04 · August 2016

@BlondePeanut
Glad is parents got involved! Some people do have terrible reactions to pain killers. I'm so sorry that he like that. Sending you love.

BlondePeanut · August 2016

*expect

BlondePeanut · August 2016

Thank you @LaurenAshley04
Appreciate the love

PerraSucia · August 2016

@peachesnbean infertility kinda makes you into a person your not. Once my fucking period started 3 days early the day of my SILs babyshower and I cried until I puked. Is she doing treatment?
