WTF Wednesday 11/29

ugh, wednesday.
Re: WTF Wednesday 11/29
I’ve got a couple this week. DH painted the bathroom last week and when he removed the painters tape from the ceiling, the ceiling paint peeled right off. So, he taped the wall and then touched up the ceiling. WELL, when we took the tape off the wall, it peeled the fucking paint off the freshly painted wall AND the ceiling AGAIN! I got so irrationally mad I almost cried. He wants to just hire someone to re-do all of it for us which I’m honestly not super opposed to at this point. UGH.
Second one, our besties live in LA and usually stay with us when they come home to MA to visit (they are both from our area and all of their family is here). They were here for 2 weeks in October with their 3 month old and it was great but also stressful. We have a small (1100sqft) 2 bedroom house so with 4 adults, an infant and our dog (and SO much baby gear) it was crowded, plus they had ppl visiting them here at our house since they didn’t rent a car while they were here. Love them but was kinda relieved a bit when they left. Anyway, they texted my H separately to ask if there was “room at the inn” in February because they want to come home and surprise me for my baby shower. Not sure if it will only be Mom, Mom and baby, or all 3 and also don’t know how long they plan to stay. The issue is that we just got rid of the queen mattress in the guest room because we are turning it into the nursery, which will be almost complete by February - so they’d have to sleep on an air mattress in there and their baby would be sleeping in our future baby’s crib? Am I being a brat in wanting our baby to be the first one to sleep in their own crib and be changed on their own changing table? I’d be so excited for them to be here and touched that they want to fly in for my shower but feel like asking to stay with us at that point is a huge imposition and wish they would stay elsewhere (they have other options). Am I overreacting?
SORRY for the novel omg how did that get so long

I don't think you're being a brat at all. I was the same way with DS. My SIL wanted to use his crib for her boyfriend's daughter and I just sort of avoided ever answering and she got the hint.
also if all their family is in the area why cant they stay with them??
And there is family drama with both sets of their parents which is why they usually stay with us. His mom is fucking CRAZY, I can’t even stand to be around her... and my best friends brother lives with her mom and he’s got a serious anger/drinking problem so they don’t want him to be around the baby, which is understandable. We have a mutual good friend the next town over who is single and has a 2-bed condo so I’m hoping they can stay there.

And I have like nothing to do at work, but still have to track all my time and be billable ugh.
@peppersmith22 @lindsye I feel you guys on the phone issues. Mine suddenly won't hold a charge for longer than an hour or two even if it's 100%.
@ngolimento agree, this week seems incredibly long and annoying for some reason!!

Instead of putting on the clothes that DH laid out for him (he’s 8) he decided he was too lazy to change and put on the exact same outfit as he wore yesterday down to the underwear. Gross. So a huge fit ensued when I made him change and we were late to school.
And he is too freaking lazy to raise the toilet seat when he pees. I swear to God, I’m getting this sign for him...
@frenchiekinplusone I can totally understand the way you are feeling about having your friends stay with you. I would just have your husband tell them that you are already in the process of changing the guest bedroom over into a nursery and not only will there not be a bed but you aren't sure what condition the room will be in by then. I don't think you need to explain yourselves much more then that.
@mikkimikey OMGGGG my H does that! Like half the time he puts the seat up and the other half he just doesn’t and there is always pee on it and I NEVER see it before I sit down. I’m gonna kill him one day, esp if we have a boy and he instills this laziness in our kid. GAHHH. Hopefully since you still have a young moldable mind on your hands you can break him of the habit ASAP

My WTF is that I woke up this morning to the sound of my dog gagging and then vomiting all over our bed... while I was still sleeping in it. Luckily, I was able to just toss the comforter in the wash before work but, GROSS!

Our dog is not like other dogs, though! Most dogs love anything thrown at them! My dog is picky. Chicken? Yes. Popcorn? NO. But this dog loves peas and lettuce??
He’s strange..
my wtf is for my 12 year old that decided to practice piano during nap time today. Then he sent me a video of his playing like I hadn't already heard it. Thankfully, my 1 year old is a sound sleeper once he's down.
She will not stop harassing me about getting a baby nurse. She's like you can't survive without one and it might be too late to get a good one but even a bad one is better than just you know, figuring out how to do this yourself (with the help of my mom who lives 5 minutes away). I don't want to pressured to spend a bunch of money when literally billions of women on this earth survived without one. Am I overreacting?
@JJMNO1616 I hope you feel better. Colds while pregnant are never a good mix.
@stalkinghorse plenty of people get by without a Baby nurse. Better to save money for things you really need instead of something that some rich smug person suggests.
My WTF is these damn Braxton hicks. Didn't really have them with my first but holy cow these are no fun. They aren't really painful just super uncomfortable. Only gets bad when I do a lot of walking around but I want to try to walk around because it is really good for me. So I need to find that happy medium.
I just feel like while having a baby is physically and emotionally difficult, I think I can figure it out with the help of google, my mom and common sense how to keep the little guy alive? It feels over the top to get a nurse when I feel like part of the journey is figuring things out?
Everyone has to operate by intuition and guesswork with newborns. If you don't trust your own intuition and ability to interpret signals, then it might be worth it. But each kiddo is different, so even people with experience are just taking shots in the dark.
@stalkinghorse I distinctly recall you taking about this woman and would like to reiterate what I thought the first time, "She's cray!" I mean more power to the people who can afford/want stuff like that, but no one should ever pressure another person into it. I'm already thinking about how much I'm gonna fight off everyone who isn't my husband, let alone some stranger!
