TW Tuesday

TW - Girl in my office who is well aware of all my current stress today and yet keeps telling me I need to cheee HER up because she's in a bad mood bc she doesn't want to be at work. Stfu.

Avrilmai · February 2017

@jess0211 ugh people like that make me want to punch them in the face. go cheer yourself up, I'm busy

LoveInDC · February 2017

I decided to check my old FB bride group. And a wonderful TW who also needs a **TW** decided to announce that 2 weeks after her wedding, she is now KTFU with a honeymoon baby and wanted help picking out a name. I can't. She hardly participated on the group to begin with, there are known frequent posters in the group who struggle with IF, and like she's going to pick a name at 2 weeks based on some internet stranger suggestions. **end TW**

She just wanted attention and it annoyed the fuck out of me. Pretty sure I'm just going to leave the group and never look back.

My H. I have been having a lot of anxiety over the past week and his AM when I was saying I was tired because I didn't get a lot of sleep, he told me I need to stop focusing on stuff that stresses me out. That is like saying, 'it will happen when god wants it!' to a person having TTTC. Fuck you.

Geez, talk about first world problems. Be happy you're getting paid money, sweetie! Ugh.

@LoveInDC This is why I get pissed when people say they can't tell anyone about their pregnancy yet so they have to come on an internet forum to talk about it. Instead I hear "I can't get attention from anyone yet so I have to get it from you." If you need attention that badly, tell people. There's no hard-and-fast rule that you *can't* tell people. But don't try to use strangers to get the attention you crave, that's pathetic.

Wow, I must be hungry for lunch

KariAnn323 · February 2017

@kiwi2628 ugh DH and I had basically the same discussion this morning. I would have yelled at him but it was really early.

My body is being a TW today. Based on temps was pretty sure I O'd Sunday just waiting on CH. then all of a sudden I have tons of EWCM today which I've barely had all cycle

hartmich · February 2017

@kiwi2628 I don't understand how men can just turn their brains off to things. I wish I knew how to do that!

@loveindc I think the worst part about TTC is having to avoid so much (like social media) to protect ourselves. But you gotta do what you gotta do, girl.

50Wife · February 2017

@kiwi2628 that sounds like an issue I'd have and a response that my hubs would give me. At which point I'd give him the finger or tell him to fuck off.
I don't have any helpful advice but I hope you are able to find a way to relax soon.

@jess0211 did you punch her?? You should punch her.

@LoveInDC seeing that would make me rage

My daily vagina pastries are my inlaws. Who are throwing my BIL a birthday party this weekend. He's in his 30s. At home, does side jobs here and there for work, plays computer games into the night and sleeps all day, no degree (but went to the community college for 4 years), doesn't pay bills or do anything to help around the house. Nothing mentally or physically stopping him from being a functioning adult human being. Like...my son's birthday cards are written half in his mom's handwriting and he signs it. Basically a man child. And I'm annoyed having to celebrate and buy a gift for a man child who has no responsibilities and his parents allow this.

lulu1180 · February 2017

@kiwi2628 I'm so sorry YH is being such a jerk right now. I think he definitely needs a good hard smack.

@LoveInDC I am so glad I left that group when I did! I just couldn't take it after a few weeks. That group seemed a lot like BC when I was in it. (like yep, that's def 2 lines and your totes KTFU!)

But, seriously, it sounds like both your ILs and BIL are huge vagina pastries.

ETA ok I'm dumb and just noticed the "vagina pastry" reference in the meme of the OP.

Girl, you were so smart. Part of me feels bad leaving now when some of the girls have been so good to me. Some sent me wedding gifts, one girl was so helpful planning my honeymoon, and I was even in a Christmas gift swap with them. But I guess at the end of the day, I'm not FB friends with any of them. I doubt they'd notice if I left. I'll probably stop checking it and see how I feel after (fingers crossed) I move to a BMB. Who knows. But right now, I'm too on edge and need a break.

50Wife · February 2017

@LuND no worries. I would have given credit if you thought I was smart enough to make that up on my own.
I had to use it! That's now going to be in my rotation of names

jsnakehole · February 2017

I'm going to throw in my hat into the 'my body is being a TW/VP' ring. AF is two days late, and unless my husband's sperm can fly 3500 miles without either of us knowing, it's just my body being annoying. I just want to get it because I hate being at work where I have very limited bathroom breaks when I can get it at any minute.

MJDsquared · February 2017

My TW is Google and also maybe DH for Googling when I was avoiding Google. I had a positive OPK a week ago yesterday and a few days of EWCM (Monday-Thursday I think). I was so confident that I had ovulated because a) last time (the only time) I turned an OPK the blood test confirmed that I had ovulated and b) I've never seen EWCM before. Anyway, I felt feverish Sunday and my AM temp yesterday was 98.29. **TMI** I also had diarrhea yesterday. **end TMI** DH Googled these things and said they could both be signs of implantation. Obviously that's not the case since my blood test confirmed that I did not ovulate.

You just described what my BIL will be like in 10 years. He's almost 24, never moved out of his parents' house, failed out of college (commuting from his parents' house) after he failed his first semester because he didn't go to class. Not that he didn't understand the material. He just didn't go because he was too lazy. In fact, he would actually drive to the campus to make his parents think he was going to class, then sit in the library playing video games, so not just lazy but a manipulative liar too. He got a full-time job paying very little money and went to community college part time, earning his associate's degree in the field he was working in (so he says, he lies so I don't trust him and have never seen the degree). Then he abruptly decided he didn't want to do that kind of work anymore so now he's in a whole other field, and his degree is useless. And still living at home (not paying bills or doing his own laundry or even cleaning his damn room, just like your BIL). My MIL says she loves having him there, and I know she does because she needs someone to take care of, but FIL is all "He needs to get some responsibilities and grow up!" And I'm angry at every advantage and favor they give him because he's a deadbeat who needs to stop being coddled or he'll never grow up. I wonder if I have standing to be angry, he's not my brother and he hasn't done anything personally to me, but I think I'm just angry as a human being who is making her own money and contributing to society.

50Wife · February 2017

@eggplantface yes! All of that, yes. I get so pissed but like you, I have zero reason to be pissed. He's never done anything wrong to me but I just want to shake him and be like what the f is your problem???
His parents complain but don't do shit. How about you make him pay a bill for starters. Maybe do some chores around the house for an allowance at this rate??

Dilynne · February 2017

My TW is my new work. I've been here for exactly a week and the girl they have training me has never done my job. So she's teaching me all wrong and it's incredibly frustrating.

eggplantface · February 2017

@50Wife What does your husband say about his brother? My husband always says "Why should I care? It doesn't affect me." Which also makes me mad.

50Wife · February 2017

@eggplantface it depends on the day. Sometimes he has the same response as your husband, other says he gets pissed if I bring it up, but at the situation in general, not so much me bringing it up.
He's not super close with his brother-they're only 4 years apart but naturally have just about nothing in common. His brother's typical conversation revolves around drinking (where he gets the money to go out and drink is beyond me) and being hammered and bar stories. It amazes me that I'm only one year older than this kid.
I've asked him to talk to his bro just to kind of give him a dose of reality and say hey, you don't want your own place or a girlfriend, etc. but his brother doesn't listen. Guess he's happy with mom and dad bringing him a doggie bag after they go out to dinner...

eggplantface · February 2017

@50Wife Yeah, that sounds like H and his brother! They're about 8 years apart, and the only thing they have in common is sports so their conversations are always superficial. He's not a partier, he's just....existing. No ambition whatsoever. And it seems that everyone but my MIL is pissed at BIL for being a lazy deadbeat, but no one will talk to him about it. Although, talking to him will just piss him off and make him shut down and run away, because he does have the mentality of a 14-year-old boy. I'm really just hoping FIL gives him an ultimatum one day, or BIL comes home from work one day and finds all his belongings on the front lawn.

Oh, and BIL does have a girlfriend! This is his second since I've known him. I don't know what's wrong with these women that they put up with him! They're smart, successful women. I want to tell her to run. Fast.

50Wife · February 2017

@eggplantface wow!! How is the girlfriend??
I keep telling my husband I hope he would get one so I'll have someone to chat with at their family parties, but then I think of the type of girl he would probably get and I'm like nahhhh, I'm good!

jenotontx · February 2017

@50Wife I think a card is more then enough unless gifts are typically exchanged between your H and BIL. I don't think you should feel obligated to buy a gift just because you are getting together to celebrate. However, if you do get a gift I would make it very practical and adulting related maybe to send a subliminal message.

I also agree with you and @eggplantface about this topic... I would also be very annoyed. One of my close friends has a brother like this and it drives me nuts. I literally have no skin in the game, it doesn't impact my life in anyway but I can't help but smh at the situation.

50Wife · March 2017

@JJMNO1616 any adult gifts you could suggest? I recommended job applications to my husband...didn't go over well

jenotontx · March 2017

@50Wife How about a book! Like this one...

50Wife · March 2017

@JJMNO1616 hah! I love it

MTgirlCOworld · March 2017

My TW is my HBO app. I am working my way through GOT. There was a huge moment at the end of an episode and the freaking thing will NOT play the next one. I must know what happens!!!!!

mschanandlerbong1214 · March 2017

My TW is Amazon who apparently had outages or some credit so today and because of that my BeachBody OnDemand app wouldn't work. Sounds like a total FWP and it probably is but damnit I just wanted to work out!!

The weird thing is, the first long-term girlfriend he had was very sweet. She was in nursing school and put up with all his BS. When his grandmother died, she even went to the wake and the funeral! I liked her a lot, and she was always staying at my in-laws' house when we visited (which I found strange, actually, because she had her own place) so I spent a lot of time with her. When they broke up he told me it was because he was looking for a new job in places outside their city and she didn't want him to leave, but I think that's a lie. Lately when I overhear someone ask him why they broke up he responds "She's a bitch." Well, given he's a complete deadbeat fuck up, this pisses me off. She's far from a bitch. I think she finally got fed up with his BS and dumped him, and he just doesn't want to admit it.

The new girl I've only met once, and I pretty much avoided her because I don't want to get to know another one of his girlfriends who will be gone eventually anyway. I'm firmly of the idea that an SO shouldn't spend time with family (in adulthood) until there's a ring involved. She seems nice but is painfully shy. I think I'm also still upset that he abruptly broke things off with Girl #1 and isn't being honest about what happened, and is expecting me to be the new girl's best friend too. I told H that when we went home for Christmas this past December, his BIL better not pawn off the girlfriend on me while he ran off doing things with H, like he did with the first girlfriend ("Hey, we're gonna go play golf, take [GF] to whatever you're doing"). Thankfully, she wasn't staying at the house so wasn't really around.

I also worried about what type of girl he'd attract, but so far they're not terrible. But, he is only 23 going on 24, so I think they have lower expectations about what his life should look like. Women in their 30s don't really put up with the whole live-at-home-don't-have-a-job thing so your BIL's girls might be a bit different

50Wife · March 2017

@eggplantface I'd agree that the first girl just ran!
I don't see my BIL having a girl anytime soon...if he did she would probably be young and insecure and using him to buy booze.

This made me spit-take, and I will definitely be on the look out for this when my BIL gets older but the girls are still 20.
