I'm starting. First of all, WTF me? I forgot my phone on the dining table today and I feel completely lost. I couldn't pay with it at Starbucks and I kept wanting to text my wife to complain about forgetting my phone but I couldn't because I forgot my phone.
Also, CVS. Their computers went down Monday afternoon-evening, which is exactly when I needed to pick up the thyroid meds I was completely out of (other than an old bottle of the wrong dosage). So, I went after work to get it and that's when I found out about the computer problem. They said it should be fixed in a couple hours but they couldn't fill any prescriptions until then (What?! They confirmed they had mine...why couldn't they fill it?!). Then my wife went a couple hours later and they still couldn't do anything, so she started yelling and pulling the "my pregnant wife needs these meds!" card. Didn't work. I cobbled together some cut up pills of the wrong dose to get the right dose for yesterday morning. Go back after work yesterday and the system's back up, but they'd put my prescription on hold for some reason and it wouldn't be ready for another hour (?!). Okay, so wife goes 2.5 hours later, and it's still not filled, but this time she yells again and they finally do it. WTF CVS?!! It took two days and four attempts. Figure out a back-up plan. Prescriptions tend to be, ya know, important.
@abhphilly I get so angry when "the computers are down" is the excuse for everything. Remember when we didn't have computers?? How did anything get done?!?! Plus, I used to work in the ER, and guess what? If our computer systems went down, we still did our freaking jobs. I got dinner for free one night because the waitress was terrible, it took us over an hour to get our food, and when the manager came out and used "the computers are down" as the excuse I shot back with, "You don't need a computer to refill my water glass!!!"
WTF to the group text between the 14 women from MH's family and me trying to finalize plans for the "Annual Girl's Shopping Trip" on Saturday. My phone has been dinging non-stop for the past two days.
Me, 35 Hubs, 32 Married June 2012 BFP June 2013- blighted ovum, D&C Aug 2013 BFP Oct 2013- twins! A&H born May 2014 BFP Aug 2017- EDD 5/8/17
@abhphilly AH! I'm so sorry! That is SO frustrating!! Glad you got them! Sometimes, not having the phone can be good.. especially if you have 14 family members texting you, right @sandbar517 ? ha!
My WTF is that after literally 6 months of telling my H family that we will be OUT OF TOWN for thanksgiving, they are STILL asking trying to make us (ME) feel guilty for not being here. I wish we were here because my FIL just decided 2 weeks ago to retire and his birthday is on Thanksgiving so it would have been a great time for the family to get together and celebrate him. I have a high school reunion the day after back home so were going to spend it there and stay with my best friends family for the holidays. Our other friend is the one planning it so I really can't get out of it and I actually am happy to see some people, just sad I can't have a cocktail haha!
@abhphilly that f***ing blows. Seriously. I've had to deal with that with zofran twice this pregnancy where they didn't get the prescription order until after 4:00 so told me it'll get filled tomorrow. And then went the next morning and they told me it would be ready in two hours. I almost wanted to say then I will just stand here dry heaving and throwing up until it's ready and ask for a bucket to use. Seriously almost did.
@sandbar517 sometimes I think we need to be more blunt as adults and not be so polite. You don't have to be a bitch, but just be direct. I'm not good at following that advice personally, but I wish I was. Then there wouldn't be so many long drawn out conversations where you are still a little confused on the plan because everyone is trying to sound nice.
Mine is that I'm so fed up with my job. I love what I do (I work with people with disabilities) but I know it can't last long term. The pay isn't enough and after this baby is born it wouldn't be worth it for two kids childcare costs. DH has also been trying to get on with a police department so then I would need full time childcare or quit. My boss talked to me the other day about possibly moving up into a superior role and was supposed to go over plans and strategies with the CEO at a meeting last week but then the meeting was cancelled last minute. So now they probably won't even talk about it until January. It just sucks because if I could get the higher paying job, I could stay. But if they make a different plan I need to leave. And I would rather leave mid pregnancy than at the end. I know companies can't really disqualify you for being pregnant, but who's going to hire on someone who is like 6-7 months pregnant knowing they will leave soon for at least a few weeks. Just so many unknowns here and I hate making this decision because I love the families I work with and do t want to leave them, but I also have to think of my own family's needs too.
Also DH was home for the last three days and I've been super horny lately (thank you hormones...) He asked what I wanted to do on his weekend and I told him have a lot of sex. Guess how much action I got...yep. Zero. Like not even an attempt. And I kept pointing it out yesterday. "DS is going to go down early tonight. I have nothing to do after 7:30...maybe we could lay on the couch and watch a movie or something..." I even kept changing in front of him and walked through the living room naked one night. Zilch.
@theletlers hm. Can you try being direct with your boss and explaining to him/her you would like a superior role and, unforunately, if that is not an option, you will likely need to pursue another company for higher pay? That might set a fire under them to get moving and keep you.
Group texts are the worst. And I loathe when there is group of people trying to decide on 1 simple thing and it gets overly complicated. Sometimes things won't work for everyone so just make a decision and stick with it.
Wtf AHS and their weird ass storyline about pregnant women the first part of the finale. Not ok.

Haven’t watched this season of AHS yet, but the entire first season was centered around a weird pregnant storyline so...
I also HATE group chats. My mom starts them all the freaking time for me and all my siblings, sometimes with our SO’s included, and my idiot brother never responds to anything that we’re discussing but posts multiple gifs and stickers that are distracting and obnoxious.
Yeah, this was a different story line than that one. And it definitely affected me way more since I'm currently pregnant. Which is why I probably won't watch next week' episode of This Is Us.
I literally just posted this on weekly questions....I feel dumb. My WTFW: I babysit my 10 month old niece all day on Wednesdays. I'm a SAHM so it's not a huge deal but today is ridiculous because I've had her all fricking day and her mom is late because she had a hair appointment after work. And I'm just bitter because I literally can't remember the last time I've done anything like that for myself and I don't even get paid to watch her (I'm the stahm, what better things do I have to do then watch your child so you both can work full time, right?) And being pregnant is kind of making it tougher to watch two babies. Is it Thursday yet?
@curleemama32 I’m so sorry! I watched my niece for 2.5 years 2 times a week. I just stopped back in feb... never paid either which I’m not upset about necessarily.. but they are done having kids and now asking if we want their old stuff.. but want us to PAY for it. I’m tempted to send them a bill for babysitting and then tell them to deduct what they were going to give us from it.
@curleemama32 I babysat my nephew for free because they really needed the help and I was happy to do it. My SIL would have never left him with me while she got her hair done though (WTF). She was grateful and eternally thankful and bent over backwards for me. What is wrong with people sheesh!
@mamabird515 my sister gave me a lot of her hand me downs from her nephew and still does, I end up asking if she wants them back after DS loses interest in the toys or outgrows the clothes and then she can determine if she wants to sell or just have me donate them. That way she still has the ability to make a few bucks but she would never ask me to pay for the hand me downs

I wish my sister would have done that instead of selling everything after her baby outgrew the usefulness of each item. I’m still pissed I have to rebuy a bassinet, rock n play, and swing. I should have only had to buy a car seat, crib, and dresser/changing table for this one’s room.
eta: I mean it’s all stuff I let her use for her kiddo
@mamabird515 that’s so tacky. I just texted a friend asking if she wants all our boy clothes we’ve been holding on to. She offered to pay us and I declined. People were really generous with hand me downs for us with DS and I want to pass it on. Plus, I want the stuff out of my attic, stat.

Ummm, did you laugh in their faces???? Its one thing to have been a random babysitter here and there, but you did it for years! And even so, you're family! Ugh. I hate people sometimes.
I agree, you don't make family members pay for hand me downs. My sisters and I all just keep passing everything down. The hardest part is when more than one of us has kids at the same time. But we make it all work and split the loot (like with clothes.)
I’m glad I’m not crazy! They asked if we wanted their 4Moms travel crib, and I said sure, that was easier to open then ours! And my BIL said okay, how about 200? *jaw drop* I lent them things that I had for their second and would never in a million years to think of asking that. It’s one thing to sell stuff online to strangers but if my family/friends could use it, I never think to have them buy it from me.
