Twatwaffle Tuesday 4/3

SmashJam · April 2018

Started in anticipation of my Twatwaffle-ish family drama later in the day.

Who are the twats in your life today ladies?!

DH again. Maybe I’m just too sensitive and hormonal right now.
Before i even got dressed DH told me it was cold outside. He’s usually a warm body so it’s surprising to hear him say it’s cold. Well DS puts on a fight every morning to put a sweater or jacket. And DH didn’t want to deal with it and just left the sweater there. I took it with me for at least the time we are out going to the sitter. DH says to not even deal with it (but I’m freezing! Imagine a 2 yr old?!) i proceed to put it on him before we got out of the car (minor fuss). And i told DH that if he doesn’t want to deal with the sweater he can then deal with a sick DS. He responds “i guess that makes you the superior parent” wth? I didn’t say anything back.
Then as he’s showing his frustration driving in traffic he points out that we really need to drop off DS by 630 (we were maybe 10 late today). Almost insinuating it’s my fault. I woke up maybe 5 mins late because i apparently turned off my alarm and DS pooped requiring another diaper change- all out of the ordinary. We just got a bad day of traffic too. Like chill out! Also mentally thinking he can wake up earlier then 20 mins before leaving while I’m up about 45 mins.
Can this week be over?!

I applaud having this open by 7 am...it's that kind of day
My dog - i'm already barely sleeping and he keeps waking me up when I'm finally asleep
2nd place to my body/arthritis - I can barely move today and cranky as hell...

Yup husband again here too. The morning issues continue in our house, my husband cannot communicate for the life of him, and he still seems to think I am his mother and he is 14 and thus it is my job to drag him out of bed. His car needed brakes so he told me he needed me to give him a ride from the mechanic to the parking lot where his work car is parked so he can use that today. Okay fine, so then get your ass out of bed and get ready so I can actually start work on time. Nope, that didn't happen. So I am running around like crazy trying to get everything ready so we can drop son off at daycare and then drop his car off so I can get home and start work - I come back from walking the dog and he's legit just chilling on the couch watching Mickey Mouse with our son. I finally corral everyone out the door and drop our son off at daycare and get a call from my husband "nevermind, its not that far of a walk to just walk to the car, i don't need a ride." WTF, so basically I could have gotten up and gone up to my office and started work on time, but instead I had to do all the morning chores while you did nothing, then I had to drop the kid off at daycare for no reason when you could have just done it yourself on your way to the mechanic. You literally just wasted my morning for no reason.

Then the phone calls start coming in about the car. I have to literally coach him through it - they want to replace 2 tires, he didn't get the brand/model to compare prices; they want to do brakes, he didn't find out if it's front or rear and whether the price is just for pads or rotors too; they ask if he wants the oil changed and even that he has to call and ask me about - GROW UP, it's your freaking car, why do I have to coach you through this?

Basically I already have 2 kids and I only grew/birthed one of them.

The lady that handles FMLA at work. She is always coming at me with some sort of attitude about something and making this crap even more difficult than it should be. Very frustrating.

I'm not sure if the TW is my cat or me. I put his food on top of the washer last night so that the dog wouldn't eat it while I let him run around a bit, but I forgot to put it back down. He started meowing like crazy at 4:53 this morning and didn't stop until I eventually got up and took down the food. He also apparently attempted to eat some flowers someone brought for Easter and then threw them up on the kitchen counter.

American Airlines...the second flight home was SO COLD and while I don't have a sore throat my throat is super dry and I feel like I'm building up a cough maybe. Ugh! Just after I escaped the lady with a cold...

Heading to the glucose test appointment shortly... hopefully no tw there.

I have a guy at work who is fighting me tooth and nail on every request I make. The person who was doing my position before was not being thorough, and it's like he is trying to rebel or something. If I tell him that his employees are not adhering to policy, he has an excuse for everything. Don't shoot the messenger FFS.

@busymommy23 - why don't HR people have more compassion!? my HR person gave me 'tude for not just carrying and paying for STD on my own....ummmmm

@zande2016 I think we may be married to the same man-child. MH actually had a self-aware moment and referred to himself as a man-child when asking for help the other day.

My TW today is my MIL. She wants to take professional family photos...in October. My baby is due July 24, you can't exercise for a month postpartum, I have a hormonal condition that makes it hard for me to lose weight, and my baby probably won't be sleeping through the night by then. So I'll be both fat AND sleep deprived. Newborn photos are one thing...they do careful lighting and closeups rather than full body shots. But full body shots where I'll be in the pic with 2 SILs? I don't think so. I told her that she could either wait until next spring or not have me in the family photos (which would look super awkward and like MH and I were separated or something). So basically I told her we were taking pictures next spring and not in October.

ETA: I mean...you don't just get to tell me "I'm taking professional photos of you in October." Yeah....last time I checked, I'm an autonomous human being who has a say in when and under what conditions I'll be photographed.

Yep! Knock it off, Mother Nature and Old Man Winter! End this love affair. So effing over it!

I’m not sure if I’m the TW or DS is the TW but everyone is a grump in this house today and it’s rainy and miserable out.
Every complaint coming out of DS mouth is a screeching meltdown and I just cannot deal today, I have zero patience.
I anticipate lots of TV and as much stress cleaning as I can fit in today before a (hopefully) easy bed time routine.
