Besides nausea being a giant twatwaffle, I'm going to say my friend. We were at her youngest son's birthday party on Sunday, and while I was in the dressing rooms getting the girls into their swimsuits, she said to her mother (not realizing that MH was still standing there), "You know her, she's the one who always "forgets" the other kids' birthdays." This past July was the first party of her kids I've missed because we were camping. Ugh. She's definitely one of the love/hate friendships I have.

@sandbar517 wow, what a cunty thing to say.

yesthisiskim0401 · September 2017

All the other moms in DD2's preschool class are on my twatwaffle list. We sent home her birthday invitations a week ago and I haven't received one RSVP yet. DD2 has some developmental delays as well as Childhood Apraxia of Speech, so it's really hard for her to socialize and make friends, so I am always scared no one will come to her birthday party. Last year I found out a bunch of other preschool moms all talked amongst themselves about coming and all decided to not come. I'm taking this radio silence (yes, even though it's been only a week) as a bad sign.

@yesthisiskim Wow. Yours wins. How can adult women be so petty and immature?

One of the moms last year referred to my daughter (to my face!!!) as "that mean girl". My daughter pushed hers down because she was all up in my kids face and my daughter didn't know how to handle it. Was it wrong? Yes. Were they two and that shit is normal? Yes. Is my kid a "mean girl"? Hell to the fuckin no.
Thankfully those mean moms aren't in her class this year.

My MIL when we announced our pregnancy this weekend, as a "gift" for grandparents day: "I hope you get nice and big and FAT!".

WTF? Who says that? I haven't told my inlaws yet. They don't know how to keep a secret so I'm not telling them for a few more weeks at least.

bearwithme · September 2017

My mother in law ruined own announcement for her and my FIL. She asked if I wanted wine, I said, no thanks I'll start with water. Immediately after: "are you pregnant?"

Yes. I am. Thanks for asking.

And you just ruined the sweet surprise and gift we had planned for you.

Oh well. I should expect these things from her. last time she reshared our FB announcement 5 minutes after we posted it and made it all about how she's going to be a grandma. And then she "photoshopped" herself into ourfirst family photo- just me, MH, DS, and MIL and FIL hanging out while I'm cut open on a c-section table.

No joke. If we ever go to a more private format, I'll share the pic so you can all stare in awe at the BSC.

Ill also add, I do love my MIL. Shes wonderful with my son and is so good to our family and helps out a lot with DS. But, she has no boundaries. And I grew up loving boundaries. So that's been an adjustment for us both.

I really wish I could share the pictures. It's a gem, for sure.

I wish there were a way to PM in a group.

kpc914 · September 2017

@bearwithme.... i have no words.....cant wait to see the pic once we migrate to fb or something

For some reason the males on my family like to be the ones who ask "what, are you pregnant?" a) ive never been much of a drinker, b)its a wednesday night...im not allowed to refuse a glass of wine when more than half the table also refused a glass of wine....

sandbar517 · September 2017

It gets SO old being a woman and hearing, "Are you pregnant?" 1000 times a day. Have a stomach virus? Pregnant. Not drinking? Pregnant. Have a cold? Pregnant. Dizzy? Pregnant. Ugh, I hate it. I especially hated it while I was TTGP. Every time people asked I wanted to punch them in the face. I wish people would learn to mind their own damn business.

ccvslp · September 2017

@yesthisiskim0401 As an SLP, that really breaks my heart for you. People can be so heartless. KARMA.

@mrsmtothek #MILPROBLEMS .... ugh. I've been directly asked earlier in the summer if I was pregnant. After downing a cocktail in a bar. (!?) MH was questioned in depth behind my back after I mentioned we may only want one child. A MULTITUDE of issues where MH sister gets ridiculous amounts of help to function and we get zippo because we're responsible adults. She sneezes and twelve people jump in to help and I feel like we have to beg for small favors. My favorite that tipped the scales was when we got engaged, SIL did two weeks later. We got given a small sum and watched MIL spend quadruple (at least) on the sister (I get testy about this whole we only pay for girl weddings antiquated thing because someone explain to me how having a child with a penis and not a vagina means you are released from treating your children equally... I know people may disagree with me but it added some fuel to the fire.) MIL pressured SIL into/decided the wedding would be two and a half months before ours. I had to wait until her stuff was over to have my shower and people kept telling me it was "my turn" at that wedding and I was like EXCUSE ME... it's been my turn for almost a year, regardless of the chalkboard countdown to the other wedding that's been posted front and center at MILs house. I haven't been waiting for my own time because someone else has something going on.

LOL you got me going. I guess that's retroactively my TW Tuesday contribution. It sounds whiny and petty reading it back but it still riles me up a little. I know when we have children it's only going to intensify watching our niece vs our child, too. Gross.

onesmallcoconut · September 2017

A woman at work who chronically has a case of the Mondays (aka calls in sick a LOT and conveniently it's typically on a Monday) has called in sick two days this week. She also has no kids and leads a very lazy lifestyle. Lovely personality but really... I'm tired of her complaining since she's not doing anything to help herself and it's been years of this.

Meanwhile I'm sitting here dying, sucking on sour candies for the last 2 weeks trying to not barf in my trash can at my desk. I also had barely any sleep because my toddler is going through a phase.

Normally her behaviour rolls off my back (unless it affects one of my projects) but now... I have all the hormones and I am pissed.

Take some pills, put on your big girl panties and werk bitch!

This hurts my heart. Please let us know what happens. She a f'ing kid!!!! Just mean people being mean. So sorry.

duck_duck_goose · September 2017

@yesthisiskim0401 I'm so sorry to hear about the mom's at your DD's preschool. On what world is it ok to treat a child like that? That is not cool, and would make me ragey.

My TW this week is one of my SIL. She is a bit of a twat all the way around, but the thing that made me just done with it all was when she told one of my other SILs (I have a lot of them...) that I should probably not expect to see a whole lot of them at my son's birthday parties in the future because I never show up to anyone else's. First off I work Saturdays and they are always on saturdays. I'm not going to take the day off just to celebrate your kid's birthday when they don't even know my name. 2nd, I wouldn't be heart broken if they didn't show up, either. Her kids are a little on the spazzy side, sweet as can be, but a lot to handle. And her idea of parenting is screaming, which makes everyone uncomfortable.

By Felicia!

@yesthisiskim0401 that makes me so sad.

MPsMommy · September 2017

@yesthisiskim UMMM you know we will come!!!! I can't believe we're on the same bmb again!!

Jlr025 · September 2017

My former best friend. We're still friends, but not as close as we used to be for many reasons. She texted me the other day fishing for information about whether I was pregnant or not. I had planned on telling her in person after my first appointment in two weeks. Anyways she kept pushing and pushing so finally I just told her and explained that we hadn't told anyone besides our families yet and to keep it quiet. She then goes on a 30 minute rant about how she can't believe I told her via text and how obviously we aren't close friends anymore because she would tell me in person, blah blah blah. Ummmm if you're pushing so hard for me to tell you something and I tell you, can you really be mad at me for that??!!

dinonugget · September 2017

@yesthisiskim0401 it's sad that grown women can be so mean!

My TW goes to two of the supervisors at work who decided to complain about the shifts available to them for next year. Now one of them has stepped down and the whole shift bid and vacation pick process is on hold indefinitely until they fill her spot. The shifts aren't anything new and I just want to know my schedule for next year!

justsuzie · September 2017

@yesthisiskim0401 Yah, kids push kids. Not a big thang. The mom probably is one of those people who just likes confrontation. Still sucks though.

Just kids of the hormonal age in general. You are not as funny as you think you are and your BO is making want to puke.

firefliesandfjords · September 2017

@yesthisiskim0401 That makes me so sad. Especially coming from grown parents who should be setting the good example of kindness to their little ones.
