Throatpunch Thursday?

[NariaDreaming]

Mostly because I need this.

DH surprised me with breakfast.

Emphasis on the surprise. I fell asleep on the couch. He walked into the living room and shouted "BREAKFAST".

I was startled. A glass of milk was spilled. I threw the pancakes, plate and all out the front door.

I'm filled with regret when I should be filled with pancakes

oat punch to my MIL for being herself. Bragging on Facebook that you had 5 brandy sours last night? Ummm.... And I just learned last night that she babysits my niece on Thursdays, so hopefully for SIL, today is her day off and MIL wont be babysitting a 3 year old on a hangover.

[briarrose]

throat punch to my great uncle who I am cooking for today for not emailing me his grocery list and making me guess. if I get there and he is like, oh I forgot I needed these random things that are never on the list and you never would have guessed, he might have to get an actual throat punch. I already do all your shopping dude, at least get me your list in a timely fashion.

[thinkingofthree]

NariaDreaming As much as that sucks, I giggled a little at the thought of your H shouting BREAKFAST!

I'm pretty pissed at my dad because he told my aunt & uncle about this pregnancy. While it's partially my fault because I didn't EXPLICITLY say not to tell anyone, I made it very clear that we were asking for thoughts & prayers because I was worried about my beta times. Additionally, everyone knows about my recent & previous loss & they know how paranoid I am about early announcing. So, I expected more & ugh. Maybe not a throat punch, because he's my dad, but kind of.

Can I throatpunch my toddler? OMG the terrible twos are not for the faint of heart.

Of course then he does something adorable and I get all soft again. Well played, kid.

The only thing I want to throatpunch this morning is the expectation to get out of bed and go to work for a living. More sleep plz.

I need to throat punch my OB for stressing "how important it is to get regular exercise" and saying "you really only need 200-300 more calories. Remember, that's only a candy bar."

Thanks. I know. But when I feel terrible enough to lay in bed for an hour at 5AM willing myself to go to the gym despite the ridiculous nausea - I don't need to feel worse. Or when I polish off a sleeve of saltine crackers just to get through the day, I don't need to feel MORE guilt about that than I already do.

Ugh, wtf, OB? This is survival. I would not stress myself out about food/exercise during first tri.

@chitownsully Ditto above.

First tri is alllllll about survival. You do what you can. If you can't, don't push yourself. Try again tomorrow. When we (FX) get some semblance of energy back in 2nd tri, there's going to be note we can do. But for now, fuck the OB, stick to survivial.

Now I want to throatpunch a supervisor (not mine) because she's implying I don't know what I'm doing. Fuck you. I know I'm doing this shit right. I'm sorry it's fucking up for some reason. I can assure you, it ain't fucking me.

[thatgirlrachel]

I want to throatpunch our payroll person who thinks she can do HR work better than my boss and I. You keep your nose in payroll and we'll keep ours in HR. 😤

[Cythe]

Not really a TP but more a WTF to the lab tech at my OB. She asked if I had a fear of needles so I said "I'm an Infertility survivor, you can't scare me" and I kid you not, she looked me in the eye and said "oh an Infertility survivor, I've never heard of that. What is it?"

What.

...Wow.  I bet she smacked herself later and went, "Ooooooooooh, that's what she meant."

Nope, I don't think so. She was genuinely not informed about anything IF related. Nice lady, just not informed. She was surprised I could use my own eggs.

I'll jump on the throat lunch OB bandwaggon. Mine said today "I'm surprised you want to have another" after we discussed some risks based on my pre-existing medical conditions.

Ohhhhh, heck no, mkrupar.  I'll throatpunch your OB for you!

Wanna throat punch this reflux today. 👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻

[BurritosAtEveryMeal]

I would like to throat punch my own nose. Everything smells. Everything smells revolting. Me, my face wash, my coffee, the chicken DH bought. Ugh.

[Cythe]

Actual throat punch this time.

TP to my pharmacy, who can't seem to figure out progesterone in oil. For those who aren't up on infertility protocols, PIO is a shot of oil that has progesterone in it. It's used mainly for IVF ladies to supplement progesterone because our cycle is totally artificial.

So, 3 days ago I called to get my refill (stupid me let it run out, but that's a different story). They said they'd order it, and it would be in after 430 the next day. Fine. I go in the next day (yesterday) and they say it didn't come in, it will be here tomorrow after 430. ...fine. I go in today and the pharmacist tries to tell me that it will be in tomorrow after 430. No fuck you, where is my medication.

Turns out, they didn't know how it was packaged (it's 10 ml, multiple use in 1 bottle) but they thought they were ordering 10 bottles. Instead of just giving me the 1 they had, the lady was going to send me on my way and just come back tomorrow for all 3 bottles (my script).

Long story short, she gave me my 1 bottle.

[briarrose]

Big throatpunch to my DH.
Quick backstory: DH has a mother who has little to no filter and cannot keep her mouth shut. We have had a rocky relationship for pretty much 8 out of 10 years. Last month I had a Pampered Chef party and had to invite her. SHe made a stupid obnoxious comment to one of my friends about how she "isn't going to have anymore grandkids anytime soon" after that line I did my best to tune it out, but it was like, the last straw for me. any chance she has to talk about my ute, she does. so I ended up facebooking her so that I could write it out, saying that her comments stepped over the line and have in the past and that I was done with putting up with it.

DH freaked out that I did that. I also told him that I would be taking an extended break from seeing his mother because, even though he believes me about what she says, he refuses to speak up or do anything to cut her off beyond the limited contact we already have with her.

today he told me that we would be stopping by their house on Saturday to drop her Pampered Chef stuff off because there was some stupid confusion with his brother dropping it off for us and it got stupid. (brother would have seen them sooner than us). so when I said, no, I am still not going to see her, you can take the stuff, he flipped his lid and totally psycho screamed at me.

I guess his mom being made to feel uncomfortable is horrible, and there should be no consequences for anything she says. we should just pretend nothing happened and move on. no, buddy. your mother is the cause of 75% of our problems, and we have had this discussion 10 times in the last month. if I wasn't so cheap, I would almost be looking for counseling, but it is seriously just like, this one issue that we have, that he wont draw a line with her.

sorry for the rant. I am having a crappy evening.

Ugh! That is the absolute worst.  This is why I order all my meds from a mail order company.  I once had a tearful tantrum about an endometrin prescription at a CVS. Local pharmacies are so clueless about what seems to me like a pretty common medication.  I'm glad you got your PIO!

Stuff like this always makes my blood boil. I'm sorry your MIL is a dick and your H won't stand up to her. :(

[briarrose]

and now I was just told that I am the reason that my DH has no family. ummmmm...you see your twin at least every other week, and I try to let you guys hang out as much as possible. one other brother lives 1000 miles away, and the other has two kids and a wife and they both work full time, so understandably very busy.

so basically he is saying I prevent him from seeing his parents but I don't. he works 6 days a week and that cant be helped. he then screamed that he only does this job for me and DS and that he hates it, which is complete new to me, and what I know to be a complete overreaction and him grabbing at straws for me to say how this is all my fault.


O.M. fucking G. if you want to visit your parents, take a fucking Saturday and go over there. and no, I don't fucking want to go with you. I have better things to do with my Saturday than make awkward terrible conversation. seriously just go. he never goes there unless I agree to come along. like just go. we are not attached at the fucking hip. if you want to be independent, then do it.

jeez. seriously. I love my DH, but if this is how he really feels, then maybe my comment about counseling needs to be looked at seriously.

Dude needs a chill pill.  I hope he calms down and apologizes.  That's some really hurtful stuff he just threw out. :(
