TW Tuesday 5/16

NYTino24 · May 2017

Who is being a twatwaffle in your life today?

NYTino24 · May 2017

Me! I think I didn't rinse my Argan oil conditioner out yesterday and that's why my hair felt gross. Today, it feels great. I feel dumb!

TeacherMama7 · May 2017

My husband. He doesn't believe in Mother's Day gifts apparently (because he ran out of time this year... and doesn't feel bad about it because we went out for brunch and dinner so "that" was my gift instead. I get it, but I work hard to care for our son everyday so a little gift would Nice. And now he's annoyed with me because i said a few things Sunday that gave him a hard time about not getting a gift.

Right there with you @TeacherMama7. I barely got the words "happy mothers day" uttered to me, we ate fast food for lunch and dinner because we were traveling, and when we got home and got the little to bed he gave me felt flowers (that were already mine) from my craft room. He did take my car to the car wash to get my vomit off the side, so that was nice. But yesterday I bought myself a bouquet of discounted mother's day flowers for my pity party and placed them where I hoped he would see them and feel like a dick.

@NYTino24 I love that gif. It's usually my go to in regards to my MIL.

jhsoontobe3 · May 2017

@TeacherMama7 I feel for you. My DH didn't even tell me happy Mother's Day (DD isn't 1AND I'm obviously prego). It's frustrating because I like to celebrate for him, we don't go all out but I always do cute cards, gifts and dinner for him, but my birthday and Mother's Day are both before DH's birthday and Father's Day (which are sometimes the same day!). I feel like if his came first he would want to reciprocate the favor but he 'didn't think about it' and then tells me he feels bad he didn't do anything for me. *facepalm*
I think I may end up being one of those women who buy their own gifts and have them delivered and then thank DH even though he has no idea what 'he' even got me.

Maybe that would work for you too. Either way, Happy Mother's Day to you!

This cold I caught is a TW. Also I am. I left work to run to the pharmacy to get some Robitussin. I thought it was odd when they asked to see my driver's license but showed it, grabbed my Tussin, and returned to work. I realized that I bought the kind with a little alcohol in it when I went to open the bottle.

cmessamore · May 2017

Can a 10 year old be a TW?? My kids are awesome. They wake up early, get themselves dressed (most of the time in appropriate clothes) and then they go outside and play until breakfast and getting ready for school time. This morning, they did their usual routine, but when it was time to get ready for school DS1 was dragging his feet and complaining the whole time. "why do we have to brush our teeth everyday?" Umm cavities, that's why? "why do I have to put on deodorant?" Because you smell like a sausage, pepper, and onion sub without it. "why do I have to eat breakfast?" Because it's the most important meal of the day apparently! Me: why the heck do you have to give me a hard time?? Him: because I'm a kid!!! Ahhhhh you're going to be late for school and make everyone else late for their day!! Grrrrr!!

DuchessOfCambridge · May 2017

@cmessamore man your kid is really testing you lol

Migraines are TWs. Like, head, you don't NEED to hurt right now. Or ever. Let's not do this. What even causes them? I understand Saturday/Sunday I was dehydrated but I'm pretty hydrated today and yesterday!

RiverSong15 · May 2017

@av2323 I'm right there with you. My cold is also my TW today. I've been fighting this thing off for almost 2 weeks, and I still have a sore throat, congestion, and my ears hurt. Hopefully yours goes away faster than mine has!

2Dash · May 2017

MY TW is my DS5 and me. He has been driving me batty not listening to anything lately - and I've had a short fuse. This morning he started teaching DS3 to hit his own bum - in a "kiss my a**" type gesture. I told him not to do it again - he then did it again - I yelled at him very loudly and he went to his room scared and crying. When I explained why it was rude - he said he honestly didn't know it meant that and that his friends at school do it. I said I understood that he didn't realize the full meaning but now he does - and it's rude and it's not acceptable to teach a younger brother and also disrespectful to do something right after I said not to. I just feel bad I yelled and made him cry before explaining - but sometimes parenting doesn't go the way you want it to!

BayCamp · May 2017

@cmessamore if my 2yo and the 21mo I babysit can be TWs your 10yo most definitely can be.

ariasbabyblog · May 2017

The 1 yr old is the TW today. He is completely obsessed with closing doors, and since we have doors over our stairs, for the most part I don't mind his door closing habit. Unfortunately this morning the door he is closing over and over is the door to his brothers room. He can't open said door, so he gets stuck inside, which he doesn't like, which means he starts screaming. I come over, open the door, calm him down, and he closes it right back up again. Child, this is getting more than a little old. The door stops come today and I CAN'T WAIT.

lancomechica2 · May 2017

@ooodalollly that is not cool. Ugh.

lancomechica2 · May 2017

Just the mere fact that it's only Tuesday is my TW. WTAF. How is it only effing Tuesday.

KLink15 · May 2017

Yeah I am my own TW today... Have spent more time bumping and Fbing today than working... I just don't have the motivation today. On the upside it's my 2 year wedding anniversary so at least it's a special day? (Not we are Penny pinching too much to buy gifts this year)

am+mommy · May 2017

@cmessamore Your 10 yr old can totally be your TW mine today is my 11yr old who is being the exact same way. It's rather normal though. She has ADHD and can't (or more likely won't) remember to get anything done without me telling her to do it on a daily basis. I've been complaining to DH about how I think that's the reason I always feel overwhelmed and exhausted. I am also recently very forgetful.... The 11yr old just went 4 days without a shower because I forgot to tell her to take one and DH has been swamped and not home. So frustrating!

Roliepoliecoley4 · May 2017

It's a toss up between me and the 4 yo.... I bribed her with $10 for a yoyo at school. I can't decide if I'm a bigger TW for the bribery, or she is for going from full on melt down for an hour to sweet as pie when she was going to get a prize for being good.

DuchessOfCambridge · May 2017

Everyone who keeps saying "It's going to be in the 90s on Thursday!" like that's exciting. Screw you, I'm going to melt, that is too hot. Mother nature was like "Oh you want dress weather to give your bump a break, Duchess? OK WELL HERE YOU GO." RUDE.

^^ this..I need a weekend already and it's taking forever

DuchessOfCambridge · May 2017

Not really TW, just random rant. It drives me nuts when people use "Soandso and I" incorrectly, especially self proclaimed writers. Come hang out with Brian and I! No, I cannot, because you saying that made me want to punch you. Take out the extra person. Would you still say I? Great! No? THEN SAY ME. COME HANG OUT WITH BRIAN AND ME.

That is all.

kissthesky32 · May 2017

My TW is the car nap. The kids are off today for elections and we were out all morning. DS fell asleep for less than 10 minutes on the way home. He is now fighting his afternoon nap. He's in his bed and quietly playing, so I can't really complain, but he's going to be a beast this evening with no nap.

bcashaw · May 2017

The rain can go right ahead and stop anytime now.
Eta: it's supposed to be 27 tomorrow but NONE of the splash pads open until after Victoria day. So annoying.

cmessamore · May 2017

@am+mommy yup, my 10 year old has ADHD too and can be quite the struggle sometimes. Usually, he's really good and he's a great helper, but today he was a pain in my booty! He'll be home from school soon, hoping he comes home with a better attitude!

NYTino24 · May 2017

@cmessamore @am+mommy I have twenty four 9 and 10 year olds. I have had several students with ADHD as well as my 13 year old nice and it's challenging / exhausting. (As a teacher, it can be rewarding to help them succeed too!) I feel ya though! I constantly tell parents that it's the "show me" age. Make them show you their homework (which is almost always stuff they choose), wet hair from the shower, etc. Just because they are capable and know what to do doesn't mean they will and they still mostly care what adults think, so they lie when caught because they understand what consequences are, but don't want to disappoint.

@KLink15 Happy anniversary!

Ladies with headaches, check out trigger point therapy! I have a trigger point in my ear that often refers pain elsewhere and a simple little massage in the cartilage helps me. It doesn't always make it completely go away, but it's better than suffering.

slaven · May 2017

My TW is the 7/8th grade computer applications class I'm subbing for this week. Their teacher is gone for a sports tournament in Japan (he coaches the soccer team) and he left them a pretty easy assignment of making a presentation of different internet terms. They're all talking and most of them aren't working so 20 mins before the end of class I said they had to print out a draft of their Powerpoint as proof of progress today.

ChattyKitty17 · May 2017

@slaven you are a woman after my own heart!

my tw is my creepy now ex assistant who finally messed up bad enough to get put on administrative leave for the remainder of his two weeks before he leaves so while I am glad that he is gone because he is a creep but it threw the whole preschool wing into a tizzy all day since we didn't have the coverage for it.

slaven · May 2017

@ChattyKity17 We had a Kindergarten teacher up and quit and it threw the whole administration for a loop. We're in Korea at a military school so it's not like they can just quickly hire someone. There aren't enough subs available as it is, especially long term, so one of the administrators has to teach the class for the rest of the year. They also had to pull an aide from another K class to help out so that other teacher is aide-less. And the K classes have over 20 kids each which is crazy for just 1 teacher.

edit to fix spelling

NYTino24 · May 2017

@slaven I'm set to START the year with 30 kids next year. Good thing it won't be my problem most of the year.

bcashaw · May 2017

My TW is people who say things like "I smoked through my whole pregnancy and my kid is fine" not specifically about smoking but about all the things I am choosing to be cautious of. Yes I know that drinking TONS of caffeine might not hurt my baby, but I'm not willing to take that chance. Same with drinking redbull, or a glass of wine, or smoking, or eating soft cheese, or tossing raw eggs in my smoothie.

bcashaw · May 2017

@NYTino24 @slaven it's embarrassing how large classroom sizes are and how underpaid teachers are. Smaller class sizes and a more reasonable curriculum would benefit our children in so many ways.

08-16-08jms · May 2017

My TW is the doctors office that's told me to have my mom at the hospital an extra 2 hours prior to her procedure for no reason. I just loved freezing for three hours.
