Who's your Twat?

[icequeen]

Hi ladies! So, who is the big TW today? Let's hear it!

Hope y'all don't mind that I start this. I have to get my TW off my chest.

[SheilaTheTank]

My fucking uterus. I have cramps so bad I can feel them in my lower thighs.

[NatalieDavid]

The girl who shares my office and is all hopped up on coffee... Calm the fuck down!

[icequeen]

My nanny knows we are trying to have another baby and I'm pretty open with her about my treatments because she's the only "friend" I have down here. Plus I have to drop off DD at her house every time I go to the RE so things eventually come out. We were talking about my old boss having IUI done, who is 38. She said, "Isn't she too old to be even having children?" And I said, "She's 38." And then she said "Yeah, that is waaaayy too old. I can't even imagine having more kids at my age." SHE JUST FUCKING TURNED 34 LAST WEEKEND! I said that she's not even considered advanced maternal age and that I planned on having kids up until 40 if that's what it took to get me the family I dreamed of. She looked at me like I was out of my damn mind. I am so angry at her.

ETA she had her kids at 19, 21, and 23.

My finger is a twat. For some reason, under my wedding ring I get a horrible rash, almost like eczema

I know it's because moisture keeps getting stuck under my ring and then irritating my finger. That or I'm allergic to the metal in the ring.

[wowcheezits]

Mine is the coworker who said to me, "Time to have another one!" when I made mention that my toddler will be 19 months on Sunday. If she only knew my struggle...

Twat confirmed.

I'm sorry that happened to you, especially since you felt comfortable opening up to her.

icequeen- That's horrible!! I hate how ignorant people can be. I think we would know our own bodies best, and when we are ready to have children.

wowcheezits- I feel your pain. A lot of people have been throwing that my way as well. ::Hugs::

I used to have this same problem until my jeweler suggested I take my ring off while sleeping and don't put it on until I'm finished getting ready in the morning. They said that my ring had a buildup of hairspray on it and it reacted with the metal giving my finger a rash. I haven't had a problem since!

[icequeen]

Thanks, ladies. I never felt like such a freak. I mean, I know down in the South it is more common to have young families and more kids but to make me feel like shit about the decisions I made with my career and family is so rude.

I have such bad metal allergies that I ended up getting a wedding ring tattoo to save my poor fingers. When I'm at the hospital the constant washing always makes my finger more sensitive.

What. The. Actual. Fuck.

I wouldn't be here by her standards! (my mom was 38 when I was born)

This.

Is it white gold?  I developed an allergy to white gold when I was pregnant last year - apparently it's pretty common.  You can have the jeweler dip it in something, but I haven't investigated yet.  I just don't wear my rings very often (sad)

Oh man!  I hate these types of comments either way.  It's always either that or "so soon?" If they find out that you are trying.  

icequeen, sorry for what your nanny said.  It was very insensitive.  34 better not be old, because I am turning 33 this year!  . Jeez.

So far no one has been a douche to me today, but that may be because the only time I got out so far was to take DD to storytime at the library.  I would prefer to remain twat-free for the rest of the day, maybe we will just stay in and clean for the rest of today!  

[housecarder]

My twat is school. In our program you have to have an 80 to pass and I had three fellow students not pass a big final test yesterday. It sucks so bad to have made it this far together and loose people.

It is white gold. Apparently it has something to do with the mercury content- or so I've heard.

Maybe I'll try getting it dipped. It has only happened since I had my kids. I wonder if I developed an allergy as well!?

Here here - my mom was 36 and my dad was 40 when I was born - hasn't really affected my life (duh)

My TW (besides the sales rep who showed up early, I mean, she's really not a twat, but it's just a huge pet peeve of mine when people do that) is the fucking Dump still sending me emails. I have unsubscribed like 18 billion times. I asked for my account to be deleted and everything. I seriously give the fuck up. I'm just going to keep sending it to spam until gmail gets the hint and does it for me.

The thing I do not understand, is I literally started getting an inundation of them right after the whole community blow up, and even more so recently. Sometimes I get 2 or 3 a day. A DAY. That is just ridiculous. Some of them are not even RELEVANT to me... e.g. today I got "Avoid these while trying to conceive" (relevant) as well as "When formula feeding is best" (we are WAY past that stage) .... okay.

We want multiple kids, so with the minimum spacing we've talked about, we're looking at me being mid- to late-30s before we're done.  I guess she'd feel the same about us.

[swivelchair5]

Somebody hit my car in a parking lot today and didn't leave a note. The back corner is all scratched and dented in.

[BrewGirl]

Lady at Target who huffed at me for grabbing the last Febreze plugin scent that she apparently wanted is the Twat today. Get a life and an attitude adjustment. It's just a plugin.

[summerdonna]

My twat is the Marsh salad bar. I put what I thought was ranch dressing on my salad and when I got back to work it definitely wasn't ranch.

icequeen I'm sorry your nanny said that to you. It was insensitive of her especially when you felt you could confide in her.

I feel you on that. I work in Marketing automation (a recent career venture) and if your company's emails get into enough people's spam box, you will be flagged. Mark them as spam. That's what I did. Annoying as shit.

[blueteamcaboose]

My dog (well, MILs dog but we live with her) is a twat. She won't stop eating shit. Literally, shit. We have tried just about everything to get her to stop that we've heard of or found online and nothing works for more than a couple of days. And now mine and my husbands dog is getting a little too interested in the poo piles as well. Fml.

Same for us. I don't care how long it takes either and people can pound sand if they don't like it.

I was born when my mom was 38, and she was 40 when my brother was born. We were #s 3 and 4. She was not, and is not, too old to be a mother, and a damn great one. I'm on your side.
