Everyone is behaving so far this week. But i would have to say the Twat in my life is my garage door. Waiting on a part to come in the mail, until then it's not working, and that means we can't get to our lawn mower (we don't have a side door in our garage), which means our back yard is a jungle. Luckily our neighbor has mowed our front yard twice now for us...which i have repaid her with wine, but it's just so frustrating. DH is going to have to borrow a mower to do the back yard...
Mine would have to be mother in law again, number 1 she asked me the other day "you've never taken zofran while pregnant have you?" Like first of all - none of your business. Second- if me and my doctor discussed the risks and benefits of freaking crack cocaine and decided that's what was best for me and baby then I would be taking it. Number 2- So she finally tells me why she asked and it was because "her worship leader at church mentioned she was on zofran early on in her pregnancy and her baby was just diagnosed with trisomy 18 and mother in law is convinced it was because of the zofran" I told her that there was literally no way a medication caused a freaking chromosomal abnormality. Seriously? She was all "zofran has a huge lawsuit for cleft palate and cardiac and kidney problems and all of those are with trisomy 18" I said yes that may be true however what makes trisomy 18 what it is.... is the chromosomal issue!!!!!!!! Grrrr what are you not understanding? A baby can have cleft palate and cardiac and kidney problems caused by a medication but they wouldn't have trisomy 18 they would have medication related birth defects, that baby had an extra chromosome 18 and that's what makes them have that specific condition.....
@labby18 you guys don't have an emergency release to just open it manually? Or is it something with the track? I know ours is broke currently so DH has to manhandle the shit out of it. That is on our long list of fix it's. So annoying! Good luck with getting yours fixed soon!
Dear @lap018 I'm bringing my shovel and my no questions asked mentality to your service for whenever you finally go postal at that giant twat muffin of a Mil.
@tfrangul I know when our spring broke, it was super difficult to open the door. I couldn't do it all. DH finally got it open once to get my car out and then didn't try again because it was so hard to move the thing.
Mine is my aunt this week. After discussing how pretty much no one has crossed the "shit you shouldn't say to a pregnant woman" line with me yet, she did it the very next day. I was in the room, but she was talking about me saying "I think she's having twins." I said "Are you calling me fat?" She said, "No, I just think you're having twins." I said, "I assure you, I'm not." She said, "well they get those things wrong sometimes." (She's a retired nurse!) I said, "they can usually tell how many are in there." Then she had the audacity to say she thinks it's twin girls, and I should name one after her. Ummm... not now! She's also mad because we won't tell her the names we're considering.
@bridge-and-wall I think that is one of the many issues with ours. Lol it's amazing how spoiled we get when we have these luxuries! At first I was devastated but now I'm just like whatever, the front doors are a priority so those will be addressed first. Until then DH can continue to hulk out on it when needed. Lol
MrsVP614 wow, just wow. Yes, I'm sure at 20-something weeks and after multiple ultrasounds, your OB/midwife/ultrasound tech has just failed to notice the second baby in there.
@MrsVP614 That's completely ridiculous. I'm pretty sure they would have found the second baby on the u/s by now and a retired nurse should know that. That said, I did have a crazy dream last night that we found out at our last u/s (at 21 weeks) that we were having twins and I was struggling to pick a name for the second baby. It was such a silly dream, because clearly it doesn't work that way.
@tfrangul & @bridge-and-wall im not sure what is exactly wrong with the door, but i do know the motor and track are currently taken apart...so until a certain someone either temporarily puts it back so we can try to open it manually or the new part gets here and we just put it back together then...we are garage door less...
@MrsVP614 um all the nope. uggh maybe the used to miss twins like 30 years ago before ultrasounds were all the rage....
@lap018 um she can go now. i hate people who "care" enough to try to scare you but don't care enough to actually acknowledge how things work in the real world...like chromosomal defects.
What irritates me most about it is that she's sitting there all judgemental towards this woman like it's this woman's fault that her baby has a serious problem, and there was nothing this mom could've done to prevent this and she's probably grieving, as she should be, meanwhile people (aka my mother in law) are sitting there all "well her baby would've been fine if she hadn't taken that medicine" and it's not even true

Dreams (and brains) are funny. I've had the irrational fear that I'm going to go into my next US and they're going to be like, "...... ummm.... who told you that you're having a baby... there's nothing in there - you were never pregnant." Stupid, since I have pictures of him, and have had multiple US, but ... brains are funny.
My TW is the new company that delivers to my work. We had a lunch meeting, and the food company was definitely a bust. They forgot to include any of the sides, except for one lady's side salad. It was supposed to be an authentic Caribbean style food. The restaurant owners are from Jamaica; so you would assume they know how to do Jamaican jerk. But no, not even remotely close. My jerk chicken wrap was a sad little piece of chicken (like those frozen chicken breasts that you can pop in the microwave sort of chicken) that had been hastily dunked in what can only be described as a slightly spicy BBQ sauce and then plopped on top of a sad little whole wheat pita slice with some red onions.
I definitely won't ever be ordering form them again. Ridiculously high prices for tiny portions of crappy food. A Wendy's chicken sandwich would have been classier and better made.

I thought this was just me!!! I have thought a couple of times that I'm going to wake up and find it's all been a dream.
@MrsVP614 I hate this!!! My MIL keeps saying this and the other day my hubby Aunt said it as well on a facebook post of my belly.. like really!!? Its so annoying. I feel for you, first thing I thought was am I fat WTF!
