@acnd08 STOP. How dare you entice a* former Californian with In-n-Out! Cruel! I miss in-n-out so much. I'd get a double double with extra sauce, the little yellow peppers on the side, fries with moar sauce, and their pink lemonade.
I must live in the sweet spot! In NW Indiana we have almost everything. On one block I can hit up Wendy's, Taco Bell, Arby's McD's, BK, and White Castle! And a DQ in my town. No In-N-Out burger though.
My WTF Wednesday: Why TF has my 3 year old been waking up multiple times a night again?!?! I'm so exhausted.
Oh and also a WTF to my brother - we told him the news last weekend when he was up and his response was "ummmm congratulations?" WTF dude. The delivery of news like this is a good indicator of how you should respond! Me saying "We have news! You're going to have another nephew or a niece!" is totally different than "Soooo.... I'm pregnant". He is so dense sometimes.
@curlyq423@mrs_fogue I'd love to serve on a jury too, but probably never will be picked because I'm an attorney. I was called once, but not picked. Depending on the type of case, it could be really interesting!
October 2017 June Siggy Challenge -- "You Had One Job!"
off the topic of food and nearly not a WTF but somewhat...
my coworker (who I told right away) says that I'm starting to show already... my boss (sweet, family man) has started eyeballing me with the side eye of curiosity and asks if I feel all that well, and the new hire very obviously stares at my belly and has told me she thinks i'm KU. Another coworker has started talking birth stories...
I think the jig is up for me. Once I go through my appointment next week... I'm probably going to need to let the cat out of the bag! dang! I thought i'd have more time, but then again... I'd be about 12 weeks at that point.
WTF why are all you biddies in HDBD skinny and cute. i am over here like
Haha right!?!?! And I got my STM gut hanging out and back fat rolls because I never got back into shape after DS. I posted on HDBD anyways! Meh. I feel this pregnancy deserves some half assed photos.
WTF why would you automatically ask me if I used fertility and that's why I am having twins? How is that any of your business? I answered 'no' even though we did IUI because it was still my body that did it. They just got DH sperm in the right place but even if I did IVF and implanted two embryos it's not your effing business unless I'm sharing it voluntarily. This question came from a distant coworker I rarely talk to. I'm sure it won't be the last time I'm asked especially out in public once they're born. I'll be sure to ask them about their sex life in return.

Cats outta the bag for me for sure. After sitting st work the last two days with my pants completely unzipped (and these were my biggest "fat" jeans I own) I finally came to terms with not fitting in my clothes at freaking 9 weeks pregnant. I mean I know it's twins and I'm a STM and should show earlier but I still thought I had more time. So I told the last couple coworkers I hadn't told yesterday and came into work in maternity jeans today.

Wtf to my MIL. The ILs had my kids for roughly 26 hours while dh and I were out of town over the weekend. First, she posts on fb saying "we have the grandkids for a couple days" and went on about something they did. Ok, stop. You picked them up from my parents at 10am Sunday and we got home at noon Monday. That's not "a couple days". Probably stupid thing to get mad at, but she's had the habit of making it sound to other family members that she has our kids a lot because we're always doing stuff and need them to watch the kids. Which is completely untrue. 90% of the time, she has them because SHE asks to take them somewhere
Second, dd2 is not ready to potty training and we don't force it with our kids. She'll be 3 next week and apparently that makes us suck because we aren't even trying to PT her yet. What does mil go out and buy and put her in while we were gone? Pull ups. We sent plenty of diapers, thank you. And we don't need her in pull ups when we're not fucking potty training her yet!!! She pulled this same shit with DS and I'm so damn sick of her trying to parent my kids. It's no wonder I don't want my kids with her
@curlyq423@mrs_fogue@beezeemarie I had to go in for jury duty in January. I made it all the way to the selection process, where we all got questioned by the prosecutor and the defense attorneys. I was actually trying desperately to get out of it because it was a criminal trial and would have taken me away from school for six weeks with no one qualified to cover my classes (I teach HS music and had performances coming up during that time). The whole process was fascinating and I would love to do it sometime, but maybe during the summer, not during the school year.
@sjohns08 - I love my MIL, but I so often wonder if I would love her as much if we weren't 800 miles away. That would be so frustrating. She raised her child, now let you raise yours!

Now I really want a cheese burger. I saw a commercial earlier for one and wanted one. I'm in Canada there aren't many Arby's here so I've never fallen in love with their food. There is A&W with their awesome burgers and onion rings. Yum.
I haven't told any of my family yet, because my Mom stress me out way too much and DH tells me that it won't be good for my stress level to tell her. Its a complicated and long story but I just wish things were different and I could tell her now. He's right though she'll just stress me out more than I am now. If I tell other family it will get back to her and I will NEVER hear the end of it.
WTF EMOTIONS DH left this morning to NOLA for his kid brothers last ever robotics competition. I chose not to go because work is terrible right now and I'm really trying to save my days for when baby arrives. Well I woke up from an after work nap to an empty bed and immediately dissolved into tears at the though of him being away so long. Some sadness is expected I guess but this ugly cry is not!
@mandmplus1 Towards the end of my twin pregnancy, I even told a delivery nurse "no" to the fertility treatments question. While I was in labor, she started the question by saying "it does make a difference, you know." I think she was trying to say that if my twins were "natural", I wouldn't have pre-term labor. WTF? How is that helpful? Or appropriate to say to me? For the record, I did use clomid, but at least as of that point, there was no research showing a correlation between IDs and the use of clomid. Some people just suck.

@acnd08@purplestars I wish I loved 800 miles from her, we're actually talking about moving that far next summer. Things are just piling up and it's getting to the point where I don't know how much longer I can be around it all. I spent over an hour yelling/crying to dh last night because she makes me feel so awful. Everything I do is judged, everything I say in defense of my parenting gets an evil glare and then ignored. She's talked about me behind my back and lied to us. But dh chooses to just let it slide because he doesn't want to start a fight. Then he will justify it all by how much she is willing to do for us. I'm sorry, but that doesnt make up for being a lying, condescending asshole. I'm just done.
@sjohns08 hugs...I have had my share of IL issues as well and it is just such an unnecessary pain to be enduring during this time. I keep saying it, but one of these days we need to have an in law thread, as I think a lot of us feel better after venting to a safe and neutral audience. I talk to DH when I have an issue, but in my case, I know I am less emotional and aggressive if I can talk to someone first.

@sjohns08 I'm sorry you have to deal with this. My sister has a similar (but less severe) problem with her MIL. Very judgy. Nothing is done well enough or up to her standards. The rules of common courtesy don't apply to her when it comes to her grand-kids. She strikes me as one of those people who even if my sister broke her back doing everything exactly the way she wanted she would still fund something to criticize. People like that need to be kept at arm's (or several arms') length for the sake of sanity. The only defense you have to give is "this is my kid and I'm raising them the way I see fit. Your approval is not necessary." Granted, that's easier said than done especially from where I'm standing.

@ChocolateIsLife we definitely should have a thread. I don't have many people I can vent to IRL and venting to dh just doesn't work.
@feeislove it's so frustrating and I'm sorry your sister has a difficult mil as well. It's exhausting telling her repeatedly what we do and don't allow with our kids, just for her to completely ignore it and do what she wants "because she's the grandma". I've been blunt with her before and it gets me nowhere. Dh can't talk to her about it because it turns into us hating her and she's a victim. Completely exhausting
@sjohns08 oh god the victim card. That's so incredibly frustrating. Someone definitely needs to open a thread for venting purposes. That's just too much to keep inside.
