WTF Wednesday 2/8

Starting this because I need it...
W(why)TF does my 18m old HATE food?! It's every effing day. Today she won't even drink her milk which is what our pedi told us to give more of to try and help her weight. I can't give more if she won't drink any! Feeding her causes me so much stress that I'm literally sitting here crying on the couch. She's barely hanging onto the growth scale by her fingertips and if one more person tells me "She'll eat when she's hungry. Kids don't starve themselves!" I might actually murder them. She might not starve herself to death but she's surely starving herself into being underweight so please piss right off with your unhelpful advice.

Re: WTF Wednesday 2/8
My WTF: Sort of two... I had a pretty small dinner last night but it felt like the biggest meal of my life... it made me super duper sick afterwards to where I just died on the couch. We told my MIL we were expecting and she didn't believe me... At all! My DH has always pulled her leg so I think that she simply refuses to believe it until I start showing. As if 7 sticks II aren't enough... Anyway, not the reaction I wanted! Totally bummed me out.
@EmEeGee we are still struggling with food with my 2.5yo. It's probably one of the most stressful parts of our day. No advice, but solidarity sister.
Now for mine...
WTF DH? Please, please, if you are going to throw a fit about your work pants being wrinkled then TAKE SOME INITIATIVE AND IRON THEM THE NIGHT BEFORE. Instead of being pissy and moody and stomping around the house in the morning when I'm barely awake and have no interest in participating in your hissy fit.

BUT really to your dh? I do the same thing... like uh uh, too early. Not interested in playing the hissy fit game. I know i'm backwards, but I'd probably go on strike after that haha
@EmEeGee My MIL is also the worst, so I commiserate with you. DH told both his parents last night and I pretended I wasn't in the room while they were on speaker. My FIL said a string of VERY vulgar things about DH's ability to get me pregnant, and my MIL wanted to know the day of my last period and whether we had tried for a girl or a boy (cue confused faces for me and DH). And then my FIL told DH we weren't being good parents because I went skiing two and a half weeks ago (before this LO had even implanted...) and I could've fallen and squashed the baby. I'm still rolling my eyes.
@migdala Ew, what?! They sound like the type who will be asking all sorts of invasive and stupid questions throughout your pregnancy. My condolences.

My MIL is actually great most of the time. But the minute she feels like she is not being treated as the most important person, she throws tantrums. So that's a juggle. I'm actually afraid for when our first one is born because I feel like she'll literally want to take over. Worst part, we live 10min away. God help me.
My WTF Wednesday is from my job. I literally had to throw email shade because I was being bombarded with questions about an effort that was live online and we were getting customer complaints about it. It was not my effort. I only scheduled it, i did not plan it. I differed to the person who planned and they were left to answer. I went through this same nonsense yesterday too and it's taking away from my actual work. I am SO done dealing with other peoples messes! Also, i just ate lunch and i'm still hungry....*rant over* (sorry)
My WTF is the weather. It is in the upper 60's right now. Tomorrow we have a winter weather advisory. Expecting 2-3 inches of snow. But since it's been so unusually warm, it wont stick to the roads. So tomorrow, no delays anticipated and tons of fools who don't know how to drive in weather on the roads. Sigh.
ETA- @emwj10187 -So sorry you are dealing with that. T&P for a happy outcome. Stay off Google and try to stay calm. *hugs*
BFP #2 3/18/19 * EDD 11/25/19* DS born 11/30/19

My WTF is taxes. I have this same gripe every year. The federal government decides that the state return we received last year needs to be taxed this year.
*O17 June Siggy Challenge - You had 1 job!*
@emwj10187 Saying a prayer that everything goes well. I know time must be creeping by for you. Try and get some rest!
@crazypuglady Yesss, it go into the 50s here today and tomorrow we are expecting 10-14 inches of snow.
WTF Head cold, why won't you go awayyy. DD and I have been sick with this cold for a week and I'm not handling it well lol. Pregnancy fatigue, plus this cold is nooo fun.
I know I am a little late on this but it happened yesterday so I feel like it counts. My MIL is usually pretty good as far as MILs go. My DH used to pick her up from work EVERY SINGLE DAY so she saw him all the time. He's switched jobs now so he doesn't pick her up or see her as often. Every time she tries to get in touch with him and he doesn't answer her texts or calls right away she starts harassing me. Asking if he's okay and where he is. She hasn't asked how I am or what's going on in my life in at least over a month.
So yesterday she e-mailed me to say she qualified in a contest for a trip to Vegas. I replied with, "That's exciting." Then she replied, "Yeah! It would be a really nice birthday present! Did DH go for an oil change? I am being a pest but he needs to get one." I replied with, "No clue. Ask him."
1) He's an adult and it is his car.
2) How do you even know if he needs one or not???
3) WTF?!
I asked him and he had told her pretty much to butt out and don't tell him when he needs an oil change. Next time she e-mails me nonsense I am literally e-mailing back with, "I AM GREAT! Thank you so much for asking!"
Thank you ladies! All your kind words mean so much! I updated in ultrasounds but i figured i'd also reach out to you all here. Great news today. Yolk sac, fetal pole & heartbeat all found. Picture of my ultrasound is in the "ultrasounds thread" as well.
A word to the wise for anyone going through something similar. Stay off your computers! Love to all xoxo
I'm going to try to spare you all the stories of my MIL though. My May 2015 group knows alllllll about her!
I can't stand my own smell. Looks like I'm gonna need to shower twice a day now
