Dear Toddler, Why The F can you not sleep through the night anymore?! I am getting migraines more from not sleeping ugh sleep kid sleep please I beg you!!!! signed your tired frustrated mother
Why does my husband start a fight with me every year around Valentine's Day? It would be different if he would lavish me with presents afterwards, or at least a nice dinner. We never really do much for Valentine's Day (which I am fine with), but at least don't be a turd to me the day before...
We finally had an appointment scheduled with my actual OB for yesterday evening. Of course she canceled at the last minute which is so typical. I don't think I've seen her specifically in like 2 years. Going to try again next week. Grr!
@hillbillywife geeze that sucks. I’m sorry. Is that something that happens to you regularly?
@mamamecha that would seriously frustrate the eff out of me. At that point I would probably just switch to a different, more reliable OB. Is that possible?
@mamamecha omg that's so frustrating! I'd be so mad.
My wtf is that my dad texted me again today to say "happy valentines" when I haven't responded to anything he's said in a month after he screamed in my face mocking my experience with cancer. Does he really think that's the way to reach out to me? So annoyed right now
WTF weather? It was supposed to be 45 today and its...25. I did not dress for an entire morning outside in 25 degree cloudy weather, wearing only a t-shirt under my coat and left my hat at home. And now I am perma cold.
@carsonraynee Grr. Sorry he's not getting the message. Stay strong girl. You're probably a lot more mature than I am, but for my toxic family member, I changed her name on my phone from who she actually is to something a lot more colorful that wildly entertains me when I do get the odd text from her. Totally juvenile, but at least it I'm slightly less irritated when that happens. I still don't respond, and I would just delete and block the number except that if there is a family emergency I might have to contact this person.
@lindsayleigh1989 I'm sorry she is not cooperating and you getting more migraines. Fx to her finally getting her sleep together and you getting more sleep because of it.
@hillbillywife Have you tried sitting down and stretching them against something? I've been getting twitchy legs at work and am finding if I sit and straighten them out against a wall and stretch them, it goes away. Fx to finally relaxing.
@mamamecha I'm with @ashbub714 I would see if there is a more reliable OB to go to since the one you have been seeing has this crappy track record of cancelling.
@carsonraynee I'm sorry your dad just doesn't understand the scope of what his words and actions have done to you. Keep your head up. Hopefully he will get the picture, eventually.
@SmashJam My WTF is about the weather, too. However, its the opposite here. We have been having such hormonal weather (80 during the day, with wind, then 40 at night). Well, the weather people said there would be rain this week...I was sooo excited about it because we really need the rain. Well...it rained overnight Monday and has been sunny and warm since. The weather needs to make up its damn mind and just stick to something.
To add to this...there is a certain person in my office who likes to turn the heater on to 75. By the time I get into the office, it is a sauna up here. We are on the 2nd floor, with no open windows or other type of ventilation. So I turn the ac and heat on to a more reasonable temp. Goodness guys!
@ashbub714 it’s been happening more recently in the evening. Not usually in the morning. And usually it goes away when I lay down comfortably in bed.
@zombiehoohaa I haven’t tried stretching but I totally should. We’ve been cooped up inside a lot and I can’t wait for spring so I can get to the park and walk and just be outside.
I have another wtf:
I bitch about this a lot but it’s a struggle I’m dealing with right now so it’s on my mind a lot.
My two closest friends are pregnant too. They’re both due in April. We have a group text where we talk about baby things and I’m always excited to ooh and ahh and be supportive but then when I say something about my pregnancy it’s like radio silence. They say how exciting it is for all of us to be pregnant together but it totally doesn’t feel like it. We’re all pregnant but I’m not pregnant with them.
@hillbillywife I'm sorry about the situation with your friends. That's so disappointing, I would be hurt too. I'm sure they aren't acting like that intentionally, it's hard to not get wrapped up with your own pregnancy and what's going on for you at the moment, especially if they are FTMs.
@ashbub714@zombiehoohaa My fiancé and I have talked about that but everyone I know has raved about how great she is during childbirth. When I do actually see her she's amazing, it's just trying to get her nailed down to an appointment. She's also on call a lot in a hospital like 40 minutes away so they sometimes offer us to go there instead last minute. I'm positive I want her to be the one who actually delivers the baby but my concern is that I stick it out and at the end she's busy when I go into labor!
@carsonraynee Sounds like he's just going to keep acting like nothing happened until you give in. Stay strong!
@mamamecha I mentioned it somewhere else recently but I wouldn't count on getting who you want to deliver the baby. Unless she's there all the time, or truly will be on call the moment you are delivering, it just seems unlikely. From my experiences, unless they notice something wrong, the OB is only there literally at the end to officially catch the baby, and by that time you don't care who it is. The nurses, other staff OBs, students if you agree to them being there...they are the ones coaching you and helping you and monitoring you the whole time. A good nursing staff makes or breaks your experience I think, assuming the labor itself is going well.
@hillbillywife that's annoying about your friends, I only have two close girlfriends that I talk to regularly, and we mostly talk in a group text too, and I honestly feel like there is always silence when I try to talk about my pregnancy. They're not mom's so I get that they can't relate but still...it's always nice to have someone to actually talk to and not just write texts to dead air.
My WTF is this school tour I went on today. I represent kids with disabilities and most of my job is getting school districts to pay for private placements, so a part of that is fostering relationships with said private schools. My boss and I went to see this school today that we have a couple new clients starting at, and I had no idea going into it that we would be walking for miles around a 100 acre campus through mud, in business suits and heels. The place was really awesome but after two hours of that (and completely missing lunch, which is great for my newly diagnosed gestational diabetes and pounding headache), I am sooo sore. My H better get ready for the longest foot rub he's ever given tonight, after he cooks me dinner and draws me a bath.
@flockofmoosen3 That's my thought process too so no matter what I won't know who it will be but at least if I stick it out there is a chance. Everyone I've talked to loves the staff too (if it's the same people) so we are probably going to stick with this office anyway. I don't have anything against anyone else in the office, it's just frustrating to have my appointment pushed last minute
@hillbillywife I would be hurt by that too. Sometimes people just don't realize that they're taking too much in a friendship without giving enough in return.
So I’ve been telling DH that we should get an inspector before our year warranty expires for hour house. He agreed. It’s been about two weeks since i got him some contacts. He finally called and it’s going to be about 300 buck (not bad i think) but then he goes off telling me we need to budget because we have a lot of other expenses going through. Um yeah half of those were his idea (concrete slab, doggy schooling/boarding). Those weren’t necessary like this is, give me a freaking break!
@wildtot ahh gotta love a passive aggressive “we should start budgeting/saving for ___” when he’s he one making unessesary purchases lol. Sounds like someone I know I’m pretty sure I spelled that wrong and of course auto correct is doing me no favors.
Sometimes it’s like i have to bargain or make deals with him and it’s exhausting. Well i got home to a giant box of chocolates, not a good start financially lol but I’ll take them!
My H doesn’t get it either @wildtot if he wants something, he buys it. We don’t have any credit cards so at least we’re not going into debt but that means if he spends all the money then there’s just no more. its super frustrating. Solidarity!
I can’t say that they are bad decisions after some time but at the moment of it happening it’s stressful because it’s all at once. I told him that sometimes it feels like i have no choice or forced that i don’t have time to process. I’m just a planner when it comes to big decisions and he’s not.
I hear you! My H always has a project going or is helping someone else so he buys useful things but yeah, sometimes I’d like to be consulted before he just decides .
I’m adding to this because yesterday was just a nightmare. We weren’t planning to do anything for valentine’s Day but my husband offered to cook dinner. Then he got stuck at work and wouldn’t be home until 9pm or later. I offered to order dinner instead and he threw a fit saying I knew he had to work (I didn’t know it would be that late). After a screaming match (over food sounds so ridiculous) I ended up ordering dinner and ate alone with my dog. I couldn’t help but feel so upset how the night turned and ended up crying on my bed. Probably more so hormones than anything. He said sorry and gave me a present but I just still feel really upset that he lost his temper. Ugh!
@krystlerr how disappointing! DH does the same from time to time- I get that you’re mad too but you’re taking it out on the wrong person! I hope you got a nice apology!
I’m sorry @krystlerr. Sounds like the night didn’t go as planned for either of you. My H gets upset like that sometimes if he has good intentions for something and it’s not working out and I give him a different option. Maybe you both can make it up with a date night later?
@acunamatada@hillbillywife thank you for the support! Definitely didn’t go as planned. Hopefully we can have a nice date this weekend to make up for it. It just left a bad taste in my mouth!
