Terrible TW Tuesday July 4 Edition

jackiesmom324 · July 2017

Hi everyone, I wanted to get started with the rants and raves as I know we have a happy thread going already and I need to vent lol. I hope a better person than I will start a happy July 4 thread to share plans etc. As for now

My air conditioner. Why, oh why, can't you keep up???? I'm so hot and miserable!!

elcd458 · July 2017

@jlemons-2 My husband swears our downstairs AC unit isn't working properly right now, but I've been comfortable (a side effect of being 99% sedentary, probably). He will stomp over to it, mutter things, change out the battery in the thermostat, and then go stand in front of the vent to see if it gets cooler. Repeat 3x nightly.

I think that I'm my own TW this week. I bought groceries on Sunday and planned out meals for the week. Last night I knew I had some BBQ sizzlin' in the crockpot, ready to go, fresh buns and salad just waiting. But then I randomly and urgently decided on the way home that I needed pizza or I was going to die. So we had pizza. Thank you Little Caesars Hot-N-Ready!

We are I. My hubbys hometown and he's gone out with friends every night. I'm jealous, annoyed and mad. Home with our other two and my inlaws. It's getting old!!!

TW is myself. I'm at work, voluntarily! I didn't have any plans really as of last week, plus I'm taking off this Friday so I was like eh sure I'll go in and catch up on some random stuff. I drove in (usually I take the train) and flew in except that Boston is basically shut down right now for the fireworks later so it was interesting getting to work. My office building is actually closed too with one lone security guard at the desk who had to grant me access to enter. The elevators were shut down so I had to walk up 6 flights of stairs lol. I have obviously never come in on a holiday before and needless to say I thought it was going to be a lot easier. Oh well, now I know.

On the bright side, it's going to be a very simple day at work with no distractions. I'll probably leave early and whatnot. DH got invited on his buddy's boat and it was a perfect opportunity to say yes since I'm not around and since I can't go on boats anyway (talking about a speedboat on bumpy ocean waves -- not great for preggos), so I'm really happy he's having a day.

Happy 4th ladies!!

cait5413 · July 2017

In the middle of the night, DH was my TW. He tends to have nightmares, and after I got up to pee, he said, "I had a terrible nightmare, but I didn't want to wake you up, but since you're up..." and rolled over to tell me about it and get a cuddle. The man is a furnace. He was making me so hot! I just kept thinking, "stop touching me. stop touching me. let me go back to sleep." My patience/compassion disappears when I am pregnant.

tamaraaaa · July 2017

My kid went to bed at 11pm because of fireworks, and still woke up at 6am.

alysapuggles · July 2017

Mine is my MIL. We announced to her and FIL over the weekend. Aside from their lackluster reaction, one of her first questions was, "Was this planned?" Maybe I'm overly sensitive, but I find that really rude and intrusive. Like, you really want to know if we were doing it on purpose?? She followed up later with, "Well if it's a girl, don't dress her prissy." Lady, if I wanted to dress her "prissy", that's how I will dress her! You had your turn already! Ugh.

peachy13 · July 2017

@alysapuggles ughhh. So rude.

speach13 · July 2017

@alysapuggles I HATE when people ask if a pregnancy is planned or not. I've had some friends I'm not super close with ask me this. It's none of their business if it's planned or not. So annoying.

My TW is to anyone who feels the need to comment on my body. In the past week, I've had a couple different family members make ridiculous comments to me. Why do people automatically assume just because a woman is pregnant, they get the right to make comments on her body?! It floors me. Maybe I should start doing it back. Except I won't because I'm not an asshole.

alysapuggles · July 2017

@speach13 Yes, on the comments! It's like as soon as you are pregnant you become public property or something, and your body and all your private medical/health business becomes fair game for discussion. It's infuriating.

thatlauragirl · July 2017

Gah! My friends are making me nuts. I failed my 1hr glucose test and go back for the 3hr Thursday. I mentioned it makes me nervous because there's a correlation with GD and preeclampsia, which I have a history of. But they're insisting it's "no big deal" and all I need to do is improve my diet. Ummm, no. I don't need pep talks from people who have had multiple complication-free pregnancies telling me all is well if I eat less carbs.

KathrynJ088 · July 2017

I ripped a pre-pregnancy dress yesterday. Was trying on different dresses for a wedding I was attending and riiiip it went

kyrwyn · July 2017

I drove up (through holiday + faire traffic) to see an old work friend in north county yesterday. She told me she'd be home around 11:30am and to come by whenever. I was running late so I texted her when I left home, and got there around 12:40pm. She texted me that she was just a couple exits away, and would be home soon. The traffic had made me really carsick, so I sat on the porch to wait. Her kid let me in about 20 minutes later, and I got to enjoy some too-loud too-vulgar youtube videos about games I can't play (because they make me seasick) while I waited. She didn't get home until 2:15pm. So. Irritated.

Then she talked to my belly chub in a baby voice and I was so done. It really weirded me out. I woke up still grumpy about it this morning.

MJDsquared · July 2017

This girl who is vegan posted a picture of cows on Instagram with a caption about how animals aren't food or something.

I don't have any problem with people being vegan/vegetarian, but really, does she think that even one person will see that and go, "You know, you're right, I'm just going to not eat meat on one of the biggest BBQing days of the year."

jackiesmom324 · July 2017

for me its my new landlord. they have basically made it obvious that they will not invest even 1 dollar into the house they bought. it annoys me because it is a couple and i bet they do not keep their own house so poorly maintained. they own several properties, he is an attorney and she is a stay at home mom. so we pay them first, last and security deposit right.. we get here to move in and this is what we find:

1) microwave does not work (over the stove)
2) AC does a terrible job, so for example right now its reading 76 degrees, its set to 66 degrees and has been set to that for many days
3) the lawn is not mowed, the people who lived here before moved out about a month ago. landlord was supposed to mow it but apologized because he hurt his back. D00d we just paid u $3600 and you cant pay someone to mow the effin lawn? i mean the lawn is overgrown like a FOREST with grass up to your knees
4) carpet in the upstairs has huge stains on it
5) walls are dirty (i understand they didnt have to repaint it but some of the walls are seriously dirty)
7) they can not be bothered to respond to any of our requests for maintenance or send anyone because they are taking a long vacation for july 4 weekend... look i get that you want to enjoy and all but we moved in on june 30, its now july 4, im so annoyed

ugh but at least i have to be grateful bc as annoying as this is its so awesome to be able to have space and have a standalone house. it beats our old basement apartment with no kitchen , leaky roof and thin ceiling that would transmit every noise and foot step

rawr

peachy13 · July 2017

@MJDsquared absolutely nothing against people who choose to be vegan/vegetarian, but when some preach about how awful it is to eat meat, it's incredibly annoying. This is my co-worker. Not only does she remind everyone constantly whenever food is mentioned that she's a vegetarian for animal rights purposes, but she'll sometimes spew out all these facts about how much healthier it is for you to be meatless even one day of the week, and how many animals could be saved, etc. I know for most of these people their heart is in the right place, but I mean... steak. Burgers. Deli sandwiches. Not going away in my life anytime soon.

@MJDsquared, I feel that same way about people who post political bullshit on facebook. Does anyone see someone else's rant about the opposing party and say "That's such an amazing point, I think I should reconsider my stance". I unfollow everyone who posts anything political...regardless of which side of the fence they fall. I used to be a big offender myself until a close friend called me out and made me realize how obnoxious and annoying it is.

failuretofly · July 2017

Ugh today.
-Woke up feeling like I was swallowing razor blades
-puked 5 minutes after getting to work because I didn't have enough food with my vitamins
-first patient I went to see tried die (but didnt)
-nose has gotten progressively more congested throughout the day
-my mom is trying to buy our house and has no idea what to do to get a mortgage and it's super frustrating trying to walk her though it via text, because she *thinks* she knows what she's doing.

dkizz82 · July 2017

@jackiesmom324 that's ridiculous. We are landlords ame the minute our tenants call, we go over and check it out and then have a professional out that night or the next morning. There's no since in being lazy.

jackiesmom324 · July 2017

@kvacmak ugh that day sucks. hopefully you will get something back for doing july 4

jackiesmom324 · July 2017

@dkizz82 ugh yea i feel like you should have to pass a class before becoming a parent and a landlord LOL... it makes me worry because i feel like if they arent going to pay up to maintain their investment it seems incredibly short sighted and yeah it just makes you feel weird as a tenant to be paying for something that the person does not really care about you know

failuretofly · July 2017

@jackiesmom324 I'm in Canada so July 4 means nothing here!

cait5413 · July 2017

Our dog. He loves the baby when she is eating (because she feeds him), otherwise he just tolerates her. If she is crawling towards him, he usually gives a slight growl and moves across the room. Today, she was crawling to his bed (because she adores him) and he got territorial and started barking viciously and snapped and scratched her head with his teeth. Luckily, she was barely scratched, but he is now going back to the humane society. We've had him since 2014, but he just proved he can't be trusted as a part of the family anymore. Made for a rough day.

jackiesmom324 · July 2017

Ugh @cait5413 I'm sorry that sounds frightening. Hopefully he can find a more suitable forever home

wabash15 · July 2017

@alysapuggles I'm sorry your MIL was not more excited and was rude. hugs, try not to let her burst your bubble... heck if it were me I would buy the most frufru thing I could find and put my child in it regardless of sex just to annoy her...

moonlady-2 · July 2017

I'm late, but can I just say how big of a TW my mom has been since we moved in (short story: selling condo so staying here til we find new house). She is like my food police. We (mom and I) are both off for the summer since we are teachers. Yesterday I slept in, then I came down at about lunch time and my husband made us lunch cuz he was off for the holiday. She goes "God you guys sure eat a lot". Really?! I had not even eaten yet that day AND it was half a chicken quesadilla with some peppers cut up on the side. Then the other day I was eating some cashews (seems like a perfectly reasonable snack) and she said "No wonder you have gained so much weight". I have not gained anything yet from being pregnant.

It's just really starting to piss me off. She has been losing weight and seems like she never eats anything other than yogurt or salad so maybe that's why.

clovelyone · July 2017

@alysapuggles How rude! Definitely a TW and I would totally make sure to put her in the most prissy outfit when visiting grandma LOL.

@jackiesmom324 I hope your landlord does the right thing after their vacation.

@cait5413 I'm sure that was a hard thing to do, but you did the right thing. Hopefully, he finds a good home.

@moonlady-2 That would annoy me as well.

jackiesmom324 · July 2017

Lol they didn't . Her husband emailed me that he was too busy and important working on a big case and his wife called me to say she was so overwhelmed from taking her kids on an 8 day vacation that she would need a few days

cait5413 · July 2017

Thanks, @clovelyone and @jackiesmom324. Luckily we got him from the humane society, so they will take him back and take good care of him til they can find him a good home. It's rough because our furbabies were our first babies, but our relationship really did change once DD came along. He's a dog, and not really our baby. We'll miss him, but it has to be done. I'm so thankful she was not really hurt!

kyrwyn · July 2017

@cait5413 I'm so glad your DD is okay, and so sorry you had to give up one of your furbabies. I hope he finds a new home quickly. We would make the same choice with our furbaby in that situation, but I know it would break our hearts. I hope you guys have plenty of happy memories of your time with him to hold onto.

failuretofly · July 2017

@moonlady-2 is she on a diet? The diet mindset can make you a huge asshat about food and so judgemental about others choices because how else could you convince yourself to starve all day unless you whole heartedly believed it was the BEST way? It's so frustrating. Try not to let her insecurities become yours!
