DH is sort of a twatwaffle right now. Right now our work schedules make it so that we rarely see each other because he works nights through the week and I work days. I also work a lot of weekend nights.
He is working on slowly transitioning to weekends (slowly because his stupid work is stupid) which is going to be awesome for us. Come June or July I am going to be able to change up my work schedule as well because one of my co-workers is moving out of the state.
I am trying to have a discussion with him about what kind of a schedule would be best. All he can say is I don't know and I want you to have two days off in a row throughout the week. Which really isn't possible.
He is making me feel like the bad guy because I am working x amout of days and he doesn't want to contribute to the conversation. I am making a decision that affects the both of us and I don't want to make it alone!!!
MY cat is the twatwaffle. I don't know what his problem was this morning, but I just wanted to sleep. He kept coming up and licking my mouth, nose, or eyes, while purring loudly. You know what time I get up and you know I won't get up until then. Why do you keep trying? For that matter, I'm not the one that feeds you in the mornings.
nuggetrn, I can relate to husbands not really giving input on things that impact the two of you. MH does that all the time. He always says, "I don't know", "I don't care", or "you can decide". No, I want your opinion too!
The cake I baked last night is a fucking twatwaffle. Today is DH's birthday. I waited two hour before taking them out of the pans and they still broke. I'm seriously the worst baker ever
Use frosting as "glue". Frost that sucker to death and no one will know! Or, you can make cake pops with the crumpled cake and frosting. Putting something on a stick is the new hip thing.

Oh no! I am so sorry breaking cakes is the worst.
Even though they broke, you could make cake balls out of them. Just crumble the cake in a bowl, mix it with some icing until it seems dough-like, roll into balls. It's almost like making Oreo truffles. Put the balls on a tray lined with wax or parchment paper, and stick in the freezer until firm. Melt chocolate discs and dip the balls in using a toothpick or fork. You could even decorate with sprinkles!
Eta: I bake all the time, so if you want/need some advice for getting cakes out of pans, I am happy to help

It is so frustrating. Even more so because the whole conversation is just a touchy subject and it has been for a few years now. I went from working one job part time to three jobs and now I am working one full time. There has always been contention around my work schedule.
I don't want to make the decision by myself and then end up being the bad guy again when he's not happy with it or we're not seeing each other as much as we both would like. Ugh.

Thanks ladies! I just thickly frosted it & threw some sprinkles on it! It gave DH a giggle. I can cook really well but baking always seems to kick my ass. I'll have to try the cake balls next time.
My friend. She has known for a while that we will start TTC soon. Last night she was talking about a party she was going to with some friends and said, "I hope they don't have kids. Then we won't have fun anymore."
Awesome.
Also, cat. Seriously? The past two mornings he has been lying innocently on the floor or in his bed, and as soon as I put down my makeup brush (the last thing before I leave the bedroom) he gets up and hides under the bed. Right in the middle. We don't let him stay in the bedroom while we're gone, and I can tell he's doing it on purpose. Little rat.
My husband is also being a twatwaffle today. He has this thought that our garbage disposal is a magical hulk-beast and can remove any quantity of any kind of leftover no matter what. I've asked him multiple times to just throw the leftovers away in the trash, but no...it has to be disposed of via the sink.
I woke up this morning and walk downstairs...and there's my husband at the sink. "Don't look" he says.
Low and behold the 4cups worth of chicken and rice that he decided to toss down the sink that morning led to a huge clog. When I asked him to start throwing away food from now on, he huffed and rolled his eyes.
Look down at the damn mess you have created and tell me that I don't have a point, husband.

My cousins fiancé is a huge twatwaffle. I sent them a wedding invitation addressed specifically to "Mr. X and Ms. Y". They sent the response card back that 5 people would be attending, and then had the audacity to throw a huge fit and call me spoiled when I asked my mom to call and clarify that the invitation was only for two people. I have never even met this crazy bitch, I am NOT paying $100/plate for her three children to attend my wedding. I'm not even paying $30/plate for the kids meals for them. I DONT KNOW THEM AND THEY WERE NOT INVITED!
I'm probably irrationally angry about this, but I'm super pissed. And I think CD1 is imminent which makes everything suck even more today.

That is not irrational at all. They aren't entitled to +3, period. That is rude.
I'm my own twatwaffle today. I had coffee 4 days in a row. I decided not to have any yesterday, and now I'm getting a migraine because of it. The only thing that helps migraines for me is sleep and darkness. Normally I could hide out in the bedroom after DH gets home, but I work tonight. I feel like an idiot. I knew this would happen. But I drank all that coffee anyway. Bad Mrs Lollipop
I don't want to call her a twatwaffle per se, but my mom is really annoying me lately. She watches DD twice a week, but it's starting to create a lot of issues. She never communicates with me about what she's got going on... it's like DD is just her tag-along to her normal life, instead of what might actually be good for her. I know, I know, it's free childcare, so I shouldn't complain, but it would be nice if she would give me a heads up that she's taking her to a play date and to be watched by someone else while she goes to the dentist today. I feel like it's just polite to LMK ahead of time, since this is not something she's ever done before.
Second thing, I bought a new car seat specifically for her car last week. I asked if she could come by before her trip over the weekend to get it installed. She did, but we couldn't get it tight enough or properly reclined. I had to go to an appointment, so we called it quits but left it in the car, with her saying she would mess around with it before she came today. Well, she shows up this morning, late, and just says, it's as tight as I think it can get. No. I could move the thing 12 inches with my non-dominant hand (it's supposed to move less than 1"). That's not going to work. I had to uninstall that seat, uninstall the seat from my car, and reinstall it in her car again. This was the situation I was trying to avoid by ordering the new seat and installing ahead of time. If she had at least communicated to me that new seat wasn't any tighter and we might need to work on it more or switch the seats again this morning, that would have been nice. Being on time, or hey, maybe even early, since this needed to be done also would have been nice.
I ended up being late for work, forgetting my lunch, and really upset and stressed because she just acted like this is no big deal. My morning was going GREAT until this happened. I'm sick of this being every Tuesday and Friday, that I'm upset with her for one reason or another, and late for work because she's late, or we have to move car seats, or she has to tell me about some elaborate thing she's doing that day. I don't know why she can't tell me her plans ahead of time, and maybe we will come up with alternate arrangements so DD's routine isn't getting thrown off all the time. It makes DH & my time in the evenings with her really hard when she doesn't get naps and the attention and activities she's used to, because my mom dragged her to a house closing 45 minutes away from home for half the day, or what have you.
I don't know what to do because my mom would probably be devastated if we told her we didn't want her to watch DD anymore, and to be honest, right now we can't really afford two additional days with her current nanny, or having my SIL watch her (who we pay, just not as much as the nanny when she helps us out). I just feel like I'm stuck between a rock and a hard place and have such a hard time communicating this stuff to my mom. I try, but she just doesn't change. Sorry for the long vent.
My DH's job and boss are twatwaffles. He's been coming home stressed out and it is not good. He got online last nite and was searching for new opportunities he even starting updating his resume. He likes what he does but not the environment.

Rude. I would rescind my invitation.
I wish I could. I hate to be superficial, but I really wish they weren't coming. She has absolutely no tact or manners, and while I have never met this girl, my mom said she is a huge embarrassment at every family function she has attended.

I refused to let people I didn't meet/interact with attend my wedding for just this reason. I didn't care if they had been dating for 5+ years. If they didn't have the decency to make an effort to reach out and talk to me during that 5+ years then they weren't coming. period.
My uterus is also a TW today. It's CD7 and I'm still bleeding heavily (filling a super tampon in < 2hours). Should I be concerned? Also, my annual is scheduled for Thursday... I expected my period to be long gone by then as it's usually 4-5 days... not more than 7... I've never had this issue... Is having your period an issue? Besides being messy? Should I be calling to reschedule? FML right now. I scheduled this almost 4 months ago.

I would keep the appointment. I have been while having my period and noone minded. They see lots of fluids/stuff coming out of vaginas all day so I'm sure they are used to blood.
I need to add myself to my list. I just realized I never put yesterday's temp into FF. I wasn't planning on using OPKs this month because I was temping. I've missed at least 3 temps so far this month and my temps have been all over the place.
Once again, my step MIL is a giant TW. Since I am done talking to her she still won't leave me alone. I've got more important shit that I'm dealing with then her stupid texts and voicemails. How do I get her to just leave me alone? I've tried ignoring but that's not working.
My coworker is my TW... he pulled me aside to ask if I was pregnant because I look "tubby and pale" today. When I explained no I was not he replied, "must be the dress then"...awesome!
