WTF to my dear dear husband. He has DS1 (5yo) set up on an alarm clock to wake up in the morning. This kid is a HARD sleeper. I can hear the thing blaring all the way downstairs but he's out cold with it right next to his head. I feel like this poor kid is too young for an alarm clock but it just struck me this morning that I will end up in a sleep-deprived hormonal rage if the dang alarm is blaring and waking up the baby when he arrives. Told DH very lovingly that he'd better find another solution or he'll likely find himself gluing together tiny pieces of alarm clock the first time it wakes up a sleeping infant.

WTF to my dumb as contractor! He ordered the wrong colour brick after NUMEROUS conversations about it. He was the one who brought me the sample back in March and said are you sure you want this as it is very purple compared to the image I selected from. We then rushed to go select a new colour as he said he needed to order it. Well months go by and he didn't install it because of all of his excuses. Then he forgets we changed it. Luckily I was here when they delivered it and told them not to unload it.
But now this means we can't get our deck complete for our shower on the 8th. Luckily the patio is complete so we will just have to use the basement walk out to get out there. Still WTFFFFFFF? I'm so frustrated

WTF to last night. I swear it's the full moon. DS work up screaming from a nightmare at 2am, slept with us for a couple hours before we were able to put him back in his crib. Dog was up middle of the night too, which he never is....i think i slept for 3 hours...UGH.

sliztee · August 2018

Look, @chyvie, your contractor is the fucking worst. I hope he charges you less for the bullshit he's pulled during this endeavor.

chyvie · August 2018

@sliztee Unfortunately most contractors are the worse in Toronto. They just take on too much work as our construction industry is crazy busy. Luckily we negotiated into our contract a late penalty clause so he has been paying us $2,800 since February and it has covered any extras we added in, like heated flooring in the ensuite, a wet bar in the basement, and things that came up due to site conditions.

elothair · August 2018

@chyvie Dealing with contractors is the worst! We have someone supposedly coming to do some work in our back yard (retaining wall, patio) and it takes weeks for him to ever respond to my emails. We paid a deposit in June and I just heard this morning that they should finally be coming end of next week or beginning of the following week. I can’t imagine having to live through a huge indoor project - at least ours doesn’t affect daily life!

sliztee · August 2018

@chyvie Heated flooring; oooh, girl, you fancy!

chyvie · August 2018

@elothair ugh that is annoying. Not a great first impression. We had a similar experience
We hired a separate landscape company to do our patio and sod. They were similar in never getting back to us and getting started late but now that he's doing the work it's been on time and he delivers on his promises. We only went with him because it saved us $18k to all the other quotes that came back.

chyvie · August 2018

@sliztee it was one of the first add ons when we realized he was late! Hubby always wanted it and I didn't want to pay for it.

halfanewt · August 2018

Wtf to my boss and coworker (both male) who are now treating me like I can’t/won’t do my job well for the next month. If I give you any indication that that is the case, talk to me about it. Don’t make plans with each other without including me.

HoosOnFirst · August 2018

Wtf, the temp we hired to cover my leave is a dud so back to the drawing board, 7 weeks out. Sure, I have time to hire and train a whole new person!

pajamstagrams · August 2018

WTF to my body. I had a dream (where I was yelling at incompetent people for not sitting my husband next to me at dinner, I was pissed off lol) and then I doubled over in pain from sciatica (during my dramatic scolding), that radiated down my entire right leg, took out my knee, and then halfway down my left leg. I then woke up from said dream, in extreme pain and couldn't move my right leg for a couple minutes. GAHHH. I've never had sciatic pain hurt the knee so bad before.

krzyriver · August 2018

WHAT. THE. F***. The girl I hired and have been training to cover me sent me her letter of resignation at midnight stating yesterday as her last day. Normally I wouldn't take that personal, but she knew exactly how much we were depending on her when she accepted the position. I'm glad she didn't give notice, I would NOT have been able to remain professional. I'm too hormonal and this place has been chaos for MONTHS.

meltonjl · August 2018

@krzyriver WTF! I would be livid. The lack of professionalism of some people never ceases to amaze me.

krzyriver · August 2018

@meltonjl My hygienist just told me that she bumped into the girl last night after I left. She was sneaking back into the office to leave the keys. She admitted that she heard about the job two weeks ago and that her dad told her to give notice. She was too chicken. But she obviously told them she was giving notice so she could wait until after the holiday. We have three day weekends every weekend, so Labor Day is a four day weekend. And then she bailed last night to stretch it to five.... and now I won't be able to enjoy mine because I'll be stressing the whole damn time.

meltonjl · August 2018

@krzyriver I am so sorry! I hope you find a replacement soon!

krzyriver · August 2018

@meltonjl Well, I don't really need one. I've never had a receptionist at my dental office, I work as both manager and front desk. She was only hired because the region was short staffed so there was no one to cover me. When I told my boss that she quit, she wasn't even phased. Apparently all the other offices are now staffed and I there's several close by who have receptionists who will be able to pop in and out. It was nice having my own so I could go to my appointments without having to deal with my boss and finding coverage, but now I won't have an extra employee that I have to figure out what to do with when I get back. So now that I'm calm and my boss is on the case, I'm less ragey... just annoyed I wasted my time.

meltonjl · August 2018

@krzyriver regardless, just very inconsiderate of her. Like you said, a waste of time.

SweetSweetTooth · August 2018

My mom brought out a level of crazy I never expected from her. Because of the internet I sadly wont share details but she feels her thoughts are better than my husband and mine and it is our life and child.
I need whatever you can give. Prayers good thoughts. Crying over this crazy is not good but I feel that is all I can do and pray.

rabtaido1214 · August 2018

I don’t know what it is about moms, but it’s so emotional to get into a place of disagreement with them. It kills me inside when it happens. It’s like we are raised by them and they can do no wrong and as we grow up we start to see they aren’t always right and aren’t always a great person and it goes against everything that we thought we knew. It especially sucks when it involves a SO because then it’s involving both of the adult people you love the most. I don’t have any good advise, but I hope she is able to come to her senses and you are feel better about the situation.

nikimelon · August 2018

@SweetSweetTooth sorry you're dealing with that, sounds awful. Sometimes all you can do is cry to get through it, I hope it gets better.

cjx95 · August 2018

@SweetSweetTooth sending you love, positivity, and hopefully some resolutions to your conflicts!
Moms can be tough and stubborn and hard to handle when all you want it to love them so much! Give the situation some space and maybe cut communication for a little bit and hopefully she'll realize you and DH aren't budging on the matter. Fingers crossed for you mama!!

knottieamusements · August 2018

@halfanewt - Complain to HR; that shit don’t fly.

@SweetSweetTooth - Big hugs, and I hope that you guys are able to figure it out quickly. This kind of thing brings out the worst in people sometimes.

spartan4life · August 2018

@SweetSweetTooth I’m so sorry you’re having a hard time with your mom! Hang in there, thinking of you!

SweetSweetTooth · August 2018

We had taken like 2 days to back off and cool down and it seemed to make it worse. My husband will meet with my dad tomorrow so hoping it goes better since my mom's seems to be the out of control one. Thank you for all the support and positive words! I love this group!!!

cjx95 · August 2018

@SweetSweetTooth hoping it goes well!!

halfanewt · August 2018

@SweetSweetTooth hugs

hope it goes well tomorrow!

nmadjeski · August 2018

@SweetSweetTooth sorry you're having some family issues. Fingers crossed things go well today with your husband and dad!

SweetSweetTooth · September 2018

Update - the meeting went well. Things will never fully be the same which is sad and there is a long way to go to get back to a new normal. Next is all 4 of us meeting up and my mom will be there so things could get interesting but hopefully we can make it work. Thank you all!

chopchop25 · September 2018

Just catching up...sending you all of the hugs @SweetSweetTooth. Glad it sounds like things are on the mend but I’m sorry for the dramatic shift in the family dynamics. Lots of love coming your way ❤️
