Throat Punch Thursday week of 10/27

Who do you think deserves a throat punch today?

TW - Pregnancy. Also my opinion on this subject may be touchy.

H's little sister is *surprise* pregnant. Whatever, I'll be happy for her, that's cool. Except her baby's dad just left her because she's being too distant. So instead of being a man and asking if she's okay, he decided to screw around on her instead. It's apparently all her fault she's pregnant too. Like, dude, if you didn't want a kid, wrap it up. He deserves far more than a throat punch.

Me for looking at social media-TW***
I looked on social media this morning and saw an instagram photo of jessa dugger... she's 25 weeks pregnant with her second, and her first is only 11mo. WTF, that whole family are fertile mertyls.... I get some women begin cycling soon after childbirth and end up with "irish twins"... but here I am I spent almost 3 years getting KTFU the first time and couldn't do it with out help from an RE, we're on our 6th cycle of trying again and probably can't do it with out help again. Why can't I get KTFU just looking at DH, BLARG,!!! end rant

@Dilynne- I agree he deserves more than a throat punch! That's messed up. Hugs to the little sister.

@wabash15 - That sucks. Hugs

@wabash15 Ugh, don't even get me started on the Duggars and their crazy. But they're also suuuuper young when they start having kids. I'd probably have gotten KU right away at 20 too. Doesn't mean it's a good idea!

I have a customer arguing with math. It's math, not an opinion. I can't make 6 times 8 equal anything other than 48. I just can't. My head is exploding.

(This probably doesn't belong here because I don't want to throat punch anyone. Just need to talk.)

My heart sank today. One of my clients brought her dog in for his regular grooming. We were both bent down playing with him when she announced her pregnancy. I froze. She has been a regular for about a year and I really like her. I was instantly thinking "please don't do this" and then she told me that they have been trying for nearly three years and this was her second round of IVF. She had two previous loses. All I could say was congratulations and I instantly changed the subject. I felt so bad because I could tell how excited she was to tell me, to tell anyone. I just couldn't. After she had left I decided I was being slightly selfish and decided to text her to tell her congrats again. I told her we just went through surgery to TTC and this was our first month of actively TTC. She offered any advice she could. It actually turned out to be a great thing because that is someone who has been through a lot in her journey.

*****End TW******

@Dilynne that is very upsetting. So frustrating there are good men wanting to be fathers and then you have arseholes like that who just enjoy the fun part !

SaphireSweetie88 · October 2016

@swimsister- That has got to be so annoying!

@FLAshley - At least it ended better for you and that she was willing to offer advice.

DH drank last night and took forever to finish. I had to text him to come home because it was time sensitive since I thought I ovulated yesterday. We discussed him not drinking around the FW since for some reason, nerves plus a drink or two means he can't close the deal easily. So I get EWCM today and back to the nearly positive OPKs... and he's out drinking AGAIN!!! I get that his sb team won the championship last night and they are using a gift card, but COME ON!!! You didn't learn your lesson last night or last week?!? O better have been two days ago instead of still in the future.

SaphireSweetie88 · October 2016

@NYTino24 - I'd be pissed about that too

SaphireSweetie88 · October 2016

I thought I would go the day with out one but no such luck.....

My TP Thursday is the guy who's working on fixing DH's car (replacing / changing the engine). He's a mechanic and we trust him (at least we did). DH's dad was nice enough to let us use his shop so DH and I can save on taking it to a repair shop and paying out the a$$ for it.

On Tuesday when he first looked at the car with DH and myself, he said that they would be able to take the engine out through the top instead of out the bottom (hope that made sense). I mentioned how the manual say it has to be taken out from the bottom but the mechanic said they say that but it's not the only way and out the top is easier and faster. Who am I to argue with the mechanic right? (note sarcasm). So they spent 2 and 1/2 hours on Tuesday night removing this and unhooking that to take the engine out of the top.

Fast forward today (no work was done yesterday). I go over there to see how it is going and they have the car propped up..... why? To take the engine out the bottom because it can't come out the top and they did all the unhooking and removing on Tuesday for no reason. I am going to tell DH on the way home tonight that I feel like we should not pay him for the 2 and 1/2 hours on Tuesday since it was unnecessary / waste of time and could have been prevented had he (the mechanic) listened to me and / or the manual.

DH still trusts him (as far as I know) but I am a little concerned and have been checking on them ever 45 minutes or so.

MTgirlCOworld · October 2016

@SaphireSweetie88 well obviously you don't know what you are talking about cause you are a woman (note sarcasm). I get that crap every time I take my car somewhere and it drives me NUTS.

SaphireSweetie88 · October 2016

@Sglen3

Me too! I don't claim to know everything there is to know about cars but I know enough AND I know how to read and follow instructions... smh

Nelbetron · October 2016

@SaphireSweetie88 ugh mechanics are so frustrating. Dealing with a mechanic when I feel like they're not listening makes my blood boil. I get like, irrationally impatient. So good for you for checking up on them!

SaphireSweetie88 · October 2016

Thanks @Nelbetron

DH is helping the mechanic and definitely noticing how many times I am checking on them so I think he suspects I am going to want to talk about it on the way home.

@Dilynne I have a friend in a similar situation. She got KU around their 1 year dating anniversary. The baby was born 3 months early and my friend had/has post partum depression problems. The delivery was very traumatic for her and she still has problems with her blood pressure (why she delivered early) and her bf just started "talking" to other girls, and happened to leave out the fact that he had a fiance.

@Wabash15 @eggplantface I'm 23 and while we only TTC for 5 months before TTA for now, I still didn't get my BFP.

@FLAshley I went to a luncheon the other day with DH and one of his coworkers and his wife are having like their 4th child. I had to completely avoid her because the other wives were just "ooo"ing and "awwww"ing over it all and I couldn't deal. It was also CD2 and we just started TTA for a year.
