Re: Twat Waffle Tuesday
When we announced to the family yesterday about baby girl, they naturally asked if we had a name for her. We said we've got one in mind but we want to keep it hushed until we meet her to be sure it fits.
My SIL would not let it go that we weren't telling. I said to her "I of all people have been bit in the butt when I personalized something for your daughter and then you changed her name!!! I'm not putting people through that." Then she spent like 15 minutes bitching about how they told me her name before anybody else and how unfair we're being by not sharing her name and yada yada yada. Then she was like "what if i wanted to get something monogrammed for baby!?"
Guess what....you have her entire life to get her something with her initials....shut up.
Oh man, I dont have much experience with the kids in stores (just from when I'd take my sister with me to the store when she was a baby) but that is so obnoxious!
I only get annoyed by people with kids everywhere if the kids are being super destructive, knocking things off the shelves throwing stuff etc. If i see a mom out with her kids or even one toddler, I dont rush them! A lady the other day must have thought i was going to yell at her for letting her toddler walk up the stairs on his own. I was waiting patiently at the top of the stairs smiling at how cute he was.
@therealbitts People and their attitudes! Sorry you had to deal with that.
Hmmm... mine is work related. Yesterday I sent a PSA email about a process that should go a certain way to a group on my team. Someone replied all and kind of said in a "I know it all" manner about how the process hasn't been followed and specifically mentioned how a coworker didn't follow the process. I replied all and said "we are all human and unfortunately sometimes make mistakes, if you see something not following this process please email me individually so we can address the issue". I was so upset all last night and this morning about it.

Mine isn't a really a big deal. But it's gross. As I was driving to work today, someone spit a wad of phlegm on my car. I didn't notice until I got to the office and saw it on my passenger door handle as I was trying to open my door to get my work stuff out. WHO DOES THAT??!
@celticknotfire Thanks girl!

@celticknotfire right?? The “me-first” mentality some people have really irks me.
@lanie1000 that is so gross! 🤮
@babyroma WTH SIL stop trying to guilt people into sharing when it's crystal clearly a no!
@brookert615 If you had intended to name names, you'd have done it. Like it's a PSA reminder not an open forum- cool it people!
@lanie1000 That's absolutely disgusting!
@babyroma omg I want to punch her! I don’t get how she doesn’t get your position after she herself changed her kids name??
Maybe I’m just in a bad mood today but I am mad at all of these people on all of your behalfs! (Is “behalfs” a word? 😂) Although I’m thankful for all this good reading that’s making my time on the elliptical fly by!
She then said, “you’re not due until February? You’re going to get huge!”
To which I responded, “I’m 5 months pregnant.”
I’ve gained 4 lbs this entire pregnancy so far. I’m also 5’9. I was so angry. I’m super proud of my bump, and I’m going to show it off!
