DD didn't take a nap yesterday afternoon and it's looking like she will have a repeat performance today. She's been thrashing around in her crib for 45 minutes now, crying off and on. I can't deal with this.
I was wondering when this would pop up! I finally have one today. There is a woman who comes into work right around the same time I do every day, and sometimes I'll ride the elevator with. Every. Single.Day. she has a large coke (from McDonald's) and a large coffee (From BK or something). I was talking to her last week, and she told me that she has to get a coke for her TODDLER to sip on while they are on the way to daycare. Bc apparently he throws a fit otherwise.
Ladies, I try so hard not to judge, I really do. I'm sure I do stuff others would totally judge. But, soda for a toddler, at 7am? Because he *wants* it? And it can't be from the same place she gets coffee, so she makes stops at two different fast food places to get her morning started. I just can't. It's time to be a parent and say no.
@ColoradoHiker Wow, that's... yeah. I personally don't, but if you want to give your toddler cokes, that's your choice. But her reasoning is pretty judge-worthy. My kid throws fits all the time when she doesn't get what she wants. As she would say when she doesn't get her way, 'Too bad, so sad'.
My WTF Wednesday is the plague of insects that has befallen my house. Just as I think we might finally be clear of the lice, I discover the garage to be infested with termites. Barely a month after our "inspection". Obviously, they did a fabulous job, and I'm sure they will be more than willing to repair all the damage without putting up a fight since I've been paying hundreds of dollars a year for the inspection/insurance. Ugh...
I don't know exactly what happened but my work shares a lobby with CPS and some guy just got arrested... With six cops there. That's a bit more than we usually see for one person.
@Sugargirl1019 Thank you, so do I. They can't come until Monday, so I asked if there was anything we can spray on them in the meantime, and they literally told me to "Google it". Oook then. Glad they are professionals.
Oh, and I also learned that termites in fact can have wings and fly. I battled this nasty swarm in the garage for like a week before I discovered they were living in the wall and saw your more typical looking termites. I googled "termites with wings" and sure enough...
@ColoradoHiker I would seriously side eye that. It's just excessive on all counts.
@hatrats Flying termites? No thank you! I hope it gets taken care of quickly, because that sucks!
My wtf is myself, and pregnancy brain in general. I went to the bathroom about five minutes ago, and realized I'm wearing two pairs of underwear. So I now have a pair of maternity underwear in my purse. That's fun.
@ColoradoHiker Uhm... I want to judge the heck out of the reasoning... so tell him no... my daughter has screamed the whole way on a 45 minute commute in the AM. Sure it sucks. Sure it straight up pisses you off... but guess want. We don't always get what we want. And yes there are days mommy would rather go to Disney World instead of work too... but tough bananas girl. You have daycare. Also... if they can't say no now... it makes my job as an elementary teacher (even though I'm special ed I see this crap all the time) REALLY FREAKING HARD. Guess what... we don't always get free time on the iPad at school. Sure throw the chair. That helps. Oh by the way. You are not getting the iPad!
Wow... I guess my WTF Wednesday was born on this thread and I would side eye the shit out of that.
Sorry I got really worked up by that. #teacherproblems #myworlddaily
@klcarr19 I bet you see it as a special ed teacher just as much, if not more. I know a family with a daughter who has downs syndrome, and they let her have more and get away with way more stuff than their other kids. It makes me sad, because I worry that since they don;t discipline her eating, it could cause her more problems down the road with some of the issues she's more prone to having. Also, my brother is very high functioning but on the autism spectrum, and took some group therapy type of classes when he was a kid. Some of the stuff some of those parents let their kids get away with was amazing, and this was a class of kids who were mostly fully integrated and high functioning. I used to take him to his classes every other week, and I, as an older teenaged sister, disciplined more than some of the parents. It was incredible.
(I feel like I should add that the majority of special needs parents I have come in contact with are the most amazing advocates and parents I have ever met, and I learned so much being able to rub shoulders with them from a young age. I am truly in awe of the obstacles they overcome, and I respect any family who sacrifices whatever they have to to get their children the therapies they need, regardless of if I agree with the way the do or don't discipline their kids.)
First of all, WTF to the coworker that calls me prego all the time. Do I look like a freaking pasta sauce to you?!?!
Second, wtf to the coworkers that do not abide by basic bathroom etiquette. I went to a huge restroom we have that was empty and I took the stall with a sink in it so I could take a bump pic without looking like a total weirdo lol. Anyway while I'm literally on the toilet a coworker (not disabled) walks in and tries to open the door to my stall that is obviously shut and locked. Instead of going to one of the twenty other stalls available she stands there and WAITS. So I decided to take an extra long time. Put some lip gloss on, brush my hair, take my bump pic. After about 4 minutes of standing like a total creepazoid outside my stall she finally went to another one.
My WTF is how so many people can be too lazy to go into a McDonald's. It's McHappy day here so money goes to charity with every purchase. I drive there and can see parking spots but nobody is using them and are clogging up the drive-through and piling into the road because they're too damn lazy to get out of their cars. Drove to another one and same thing! No way that all those people were disabled or had little kids with them. If you're able-bodied and alone, gtfo of your car!
Wtf to The bump. I got signed out of my account and I was locked out for a while.
I wondered where you were!
I was trying everything I could to get back in. I almost made a new account but i uninstalled the app then logged in with a old email and it popped up. I have no idea how it switched to my old email.
@ColoradoHiker I am judging that Mom in general because she gives a 2 year old Coke. WTF? Not OK! We as grown ass adults know damn well how bad sugar is so why in the hell would you give it to a child!!!! Especially almost everyday!
