With Thanksgiving this week, there's got to be some good MIL or crazy family drama! Let's hear it!

krash_ · November 2017

Selfishly started today because I am pissed...

The Etsy shop I ordered from is my TW today. I bitched about them in the randoms yesterday because I ordered a sweatshirt two weeks ago that says "the turkey isn't the only thing in the oven." Before I ordered I asked if I would get it before Thanksgiving and offered to pay extra for rush shipping. She said it would be no problem for delivery by Thanksgiving.

USPS tracking was updated today and guess when the expected delivery is...FRIDAY!!! I wouldn't be as upset if the shirt wasn't specific to Thanksgiving and if she hadn't assured me it would deliver by Thanksgiving. We are telling the majority of our immediate family and close friends this weekend and that was how I was going to do it. Now idk what I will do. Probably just straight up tell people.

The other thing that irks me is I ordered Grandma and Grandpa mugs for my in-laws AFTER I ordered this sweatshirt and that shipped in two days and we got them last Friday.

Tbh I am opting out of the extended in-laws dinner for this reason. I operate in a no drama zone! Ain't got time for that. Godspeed anyone about to enter the zone, I'll pray for you.

@krashke nooooo that happened to me once with an ugly Xmas sweater for an ugly sweater party and it was so sad. I was like, well I don’t need this ANYMORE!! Ughghgh

Could you sort of make your own version? Or design/print out cards and give them to people?

Or something I would’ve done if there’d ever been a time everyone was all together: tell everyone you want a group picture. Make it a video instead but don’t tell. And then instead of saying “ok everyone say cheese!” Say something like “ok everyone say krashke is pregnant!” Or you could tell them to say what was going to be on your shirt. You’ll get a video of a lot of confused/happy people. Selfie sticks are helpful in this scenario.

@krashke That is so lame! It frustrates me to no end when you've confirmed stuff like shipping and they still eff it up.

My TW is a woman I work with. She found out I was pregnant when she nosed into my cube and spotted my US in my purse. I mean, fine - we're friends, so whatever. But I mentioned last week that I was having abdominal pain/cramps and now she will not let it go. I'm like, it is fine - I googled it, things are normal. I got back from vacay today and she comes over all worried that I need to call my doctor right away. It is so friggin' annoying! I do not need to be mothered! Obviously, I won't tell her anything else.

@doxiemoxie212 I've done iron on transfers before, not to toot my own horn but I made all the bride/bridesmaid shirts for my wedding, but I don't really have time for that now. Plus I'm out of ink at home so that would require spending the $60 on new ink which I hate doing lol.

The selfie idea is good but we will be with little groups of family/friends here and there. Not a lot of people all at once.

I messaged her and explained everything and just left it at "how are you going to handle this situation?" I'm leaving it open ended but I would really like a refund. I paid $22 for the sweatshirt and $8 for shipping so to me that is kind of a lot of money to just oh well at.

My TW is the Bump app. It hasn’t let me reply or love tit anything since late last week. So I’m using the browser on my phone instead. Not the biggest deal but things should just work the way I want them to dangit!

LaceyBee522 · November 2017

@krashke You should definitely be able to get a refund. It wasn't personalized, right?

ETA - I realize that doesn't alleviate your frustration, but you should at least get your dang money back.

krash_ · November 2017

@LaceyBee522 it wasn't personalized but it was a custom order because I had her put the design on a sweatshirt instead of a tee shirt. I'm just worried because their shop says no returns or exchanges but I would hope in this case they would offer some customer service. Otherwise, I think I can contact Etsy directly.

I hope your TW backs off. That is why I love this community because I had some sharp pains/cramps on Sunday and after googling and reassurance from mama's on here I didn't need to freak out my mom by telling her or waste time trying to call the Dr.

I went to our housing office to rent one of the centers for my DDs birthday and they don't rent them out on Saturdays or 9-5 during the week. That makes no sense, everyone here works Mon-Fri, and they know this. It will be too cold to have her party outside, and she is so looking forward to a party with her school friends.

tammy574 · November 2017

@krashke Definitely demand a refund as the item was for thanksgiving and promised by thanksgiving and they failed. If she won’t I would contact Etsy directly.

My Tw is my mother in law who found out we were pregnant through finding out I had a dr appointment and I wasn’t ready to tell her yet and so I didn’t tell her but she still knows and keeps saying all too obvious comments that make me mad. I’m not ready to tell the world and officially telling her feels very scary as she’s an open book. But at the same time not telling her but her knowing maybe gives her license to talk more?

krash_ · November 2017

@tammy574 how did your MIL find out you had a Dr appointment? That's some next level invasion of privacy and I would not tell her out of spite, but that's just me lol

nakoehl · November 2017

My TW is the guys who delivered my new washer and dryer today. I work overnights so I sleep until the afternoon, which is why we set up a delivery time in the afternoon, they showed up at 10 am! Then they never called DH to let him know they were on their way so I had to deal with them.

So you had a sleep deprived, cranky pregnant woman dealing with two guys that woke her up 3 hours early... needless to say DH made it home in record time.

bkrahn · November 2017

My tw is my mom. Every time I'm around her she's like "you should probably just announce it already, people are going to know by that bump. It's pretty obvious." But really, she just wants me to announce to make HER life more convenient.. that way she can finally tell her coworkers (who I'm sure already know) and tag me in baby posts on Facebook *eye roll*
it wouldnt piss me off as much it it wasn't for the fact that we lost two pregnancies this year already, and I'm just super nervous to announce this one to anyone. We plan to announce it this week after our appt, but if I chose to wait longer? she should be able to understand that. Ugh

krash_ · November 2017

@bkrahn that is really lame of your mom. You should definitely wait until you feel comfortable. Also if anyone tags me in baby stuff on FB I'm going to have to have a talk with them. I don't post that often and I hate FB spam.

I think I have figured out what were going to do for one of our friends that we are going to tell tomorrow night, since I wont have the shirt. We are going over to their house after dinner for drinks and I'm going to bring 3 specialty beers (one for MH and one for the each of them) and when they ask where mine is, I will tell them. It's a little more fun than just being like "hey I'm KU"

RatParade · November 2017

@krashke We had some friends over when I was ready to tell them, and I had MH offer me a beer and I said "no thanks, I'm pregnant" all casual. It was hilarious seeing their reaction
