Our 20 month old DS has been getting carsick on the way to daycare most mornings for months now. I asked DH to turn his carseat around now that he is over the minimum weight to face forward (and he is really tall for his age). I know that this isn't necessarily advised yet but we talked to our pediatrician about it after trying to change his breakfast, buying sea-bands (which he wont wear) and leaving windows down. He is miserable every time we are in the car.
Anyhow.... asked DH to turn his carseat around this weekend and he didn't, asked him to last night after he got sick yesterday morning, and he didn't - so today when he got sick I called him and made him meet me at the daycare to clean it up. I think he finally realized how disgusting it is to deal with - especially for his pregnant wife. I am guessing the seat will get turned around today.

DS #1: 3/8/15My TW (as I'm sure a lot of others is) is money. Because my job furloughed me earlier this year, I wasn't able to find another position that pays as well. I took a pay cut, which was okay, but now that DH and I are looking at me not working for 2 months or so after the birth, it's looking more and more like we need to sell our house. I LOVE our house. It's our first one, one we can grow into it, and where I've envisioned our future. I'll do what needs to be done, but it makes me so sad that the one thing I want really want to keep looks like the one that has to go.
I have an asshole cat that gets bored at night and likes to come into the master bedroom and scream at us because he wants attention. Some nights he waits until I'm getting up at 5am, which is fine because I'm already getting up, and other nights, like the last two, he does this between 1 and 3am. And then I can't go back to sleep. But the real winner is DH who ALSO was snoring all night last night. So this morning when he complained about the cat, I really lit into him. apparently because the snoring is "not his fault" I can't complain about it interrupting my sleep.
I'm sleeping in the guest room tonight. Need to get more than 4 broken hours of sleep at least once this week. And I will be ignoring DH's pity party about how my sleeping in the guest room is affecting our marriage, because if he would just ADDRESS THE FUCKING SNORING I wouldn't have to do it. I guess he feels like I should not sleep, while he is passed out, so that I can be in the same room as him for some reason? what is the point when he is asleep? we don't even go to bed at the same time, he comes in like two hours after I do. I feel like there is zero difference between me sleeping with him in our room and me sleeping in the guest room, except that the guest room is quiet.
Meanwhile we have to figure out something with this cat. We have tried just shutting him out of the bedroom, but then he screams at the door, which is still close enough to the bed to wake us up, so it's not helping at all. And then we feel bad because the good cat that likes to sleep curled up with us can't get in there. I'm about to kick the bad cat into the garage permanently. If that bastard wasn't so sweet to DD, he might have been thrown off of our dock and into the lake by now. It was bad enough when I wasn't pregnant and fatigued...THIS IS BULLSHIT.
Rant over. For now.

@berg it's definitely not food related. He almost always still has food when we wake up in the morning, DH tops him off before he goes to bed. SOMETIMES (and only sometimes) if we dump his water and give him a fresh bowl he stops screaming. Occasionally he has to poop and is offended that the other cat has pooped in the box and we haven't cleaned it yet (because, you know, it's the middle of the night), but those screams are pretty obvious...we call them "poop screaming" and we address that issue immediately so as to not have to locate and then clean up poop from the floor in the morning.
Really 9 times out of 10 he just wants DH to wake up and hang out with him. He's obsessed with DH. Unfortunately, DH is a heavy sleeper so he only hears the worst of the screaming...I wake up a lot more than he does. Recently, when it gets really bad, DH will put him outside on the screened in porch so that we can sleep (he screams the entire time he's out there but it's far enough from the bedroom and the neighbors that it doesn't effect anyone). But it's going to be cold outside soon and that won't be an option anymore. We have a climate controlled workshop in our garage and we're seriously considering putting him in there at night. He'll definitely hate it, but I cannot deal with this for the next billion years (as inside cats, even though they are 10, I figure they'll still be around for quite a while). Ugh, what a mess. Complicated by the fact that DD's nursery is in our master suite (separate room but no door on it, it's actually a sunroom) and I CANNOT have the cat waking up DD or the future baby with his nonsense. DD has white noise on and he hasn't woke her up yet, but it's only a matter of time I figure.
Mine are indoor/outdoor and these days the asshole one likes to spend the night outside, which is nice. We have a cat door in the back, but she's so freaking dumb and lazy that she normally waits for us to open the door. But I know she CAN use it, and will if it gets too cold.
Having an asshole cat really makes me appreciate my good cat.
I also bedshare and one cat will come either lay on DD's head, literally and eat her hair.
I'm seriously dead at 'song of his people!'

MH and I are both snorers. (I retain that I am not but I'm not sure I believe it!) During the week, I sleep with our dog in our guest bedroom. I'm definitely the heavier sleeper in our relationship so it's more at his insistence than anything. I pretend I hate it - it does sometimes make me feel unwanted - but it's really not so bad. Plus my dog seems to be all about it.
ETA: That I'm a dirty lurker and didn't realize this wasn't my BMB!!
Yup, my asshole cat runined 5 couches (2 that don't belong to us), 2 beds and the bathroom vanity. We tried everything (I even built her a " cat couch" that was leather and sewed leather patches on the scratching posts in case she preferred that texture. We finally broke down and got her declawed after she started ruining my SIL's brand new couch (she lives with us). Now instead she poopes on everything when she is pissed. I'm at my wits end but DH loves her
eta: fix spelling
My hormones are already crazy out of whack. (I think a lot of it is because of having a miscarriage two months ago and just worrying that I will have another one.) Well tonight as I was cleaning the house and getting to some tasks that had been lingering for awhile, I mentioned to him that I think he should cut back on drinking bourbon. He has it most nights of the week, even though he doesn't have enough to get drunk - it just seems like an unhealthy habit. Then he turns to DD (just a year old, so not comprehending him) and says, "Maybe Daddy should drink more bourbon because Mommy is productive when he does."

It's driving me BONKERS!! I don't need my people spending 5 hours a week to tell her that they taught classes and read emails!!!
AAAARRRRRRGGGGGGGG
I can't tell if she's a moron or if I'm just full of raging pregnancy hormones...
My TW is a lady that works for staffing at the hospital where I work. Backstory- I'm a casual nurse on a surgical ward, but will work on medical wards when needed, and I rely on staffing to call me for shifts to work. I got a phone call at 7:30pm the other day saying the nurse from day-shift was waiting for me to show up at work and that I was late. I wasn't booked to work that day- I was offered the shift through a voicemail and I called staffing back twice and they didn't answer- to turn down the offer (they aren't supposed to book me unless I say yes). I let the lady from staffing know that I did not agree to work the shift and so I shouldn't have been booked, and she replied "well it isn't my problem-I'll be marking you as a no-show and you can get written up" and hung up on me. The next day before my shift, she personally called me to "remind me" that I'm working that night and to make sure I show up for my shift. That ticked me off because I'm reliable and never miss my shifts, not to mention it's harassment and not her job to "remind me" when I'm working. I asked her if it was in her job description to call everyone and remind them that they're working- when she said no, I informed her that I would be contacting her manager about it. When I showed up to work, the nurses were jumping down my throat about me missing my shift the previous day (the one I didn't agree to work, so therefore shouldn't have been scheduled), because that same lady from staffing told them that I didn't show up because I didn't like working with the nurses on that unit! I let them know that it absolutely wasn't the truth and clarified with them and the manager on the unit what happened. I sent the manager of staffing an email to bring up what happened with this lady from staffing. This lady made me look like a rude, incompetent, unreliable nurse! It's been two days and I still have not heard back from the staffing manager so I will be giving him a phone call in the morning after night shift to have the situation addressed.
And I also love how everyone has an asshole cat!

If it were me, I would get the message and keep my distance for a while. If she's worth it she will come back. During this time, I would focus on the people who are there for me, and I'd look at all my blessings outside of this old friendship.
Sorry to hear you had a traumatic birth - I can totally relate to that and it sucks. While she probably didn't mean it to be personal it was insensitive - particularly if you told her how you felt about your birth experience.
I may be wrong, but it sounds like you are spending your energy one someone who doesn't deserve it and there may be other friends out there who are more worthy of your time.
Of course, I don't know all the details, I'm just going off what you've said and how I would respond. Doesn't make it right or wrong so take it with a grain of salt.
Just st sounds like you're going through a rough time
hopefulky things get better soon! Xo
