I've been waiting for this thread all morning, so I might as well start it.
Last night H calls to tell me goodnight (he's OOT working) and tells me that his family invited him down to visit for a week later in April (to Colombia). I tell him that's too late for me to travel and he says, "no, they just invited me to come down and hang out."
I mean... They're already staying with us for the whole damn month of June. So they think it's totally fine for H to come down and party and leave his very pregnant and exhausted wife at home to take care of the toddler and everything??
H isn't going, but I'm still pissed about the whole thing (Probably unfairly). I'd love a week of no reaponsibilities, but is that going to happen for the next several years.
@pcrunk, I feel your pain with the sleep situation. DH always kicks down the top sheet as well... And is a fairly loud snorer as well. And if he makes the bed, he always leaves the top sheet bunched up at the bottom! Grrrr...
No WTFs yet today... Except to Mother Nature. Wtf is up with the wet, sticky snow today. Go away winter... You're drunk.
My WTF also doubles as a question to see if this has happened to anyone else yet?! WTF to waking up basically choking last night with my throat burning and proceeding to throw up. I've been taking my Prevacid daily and drinking lots of water. I honestly couldn't breath. Terrifying. Has anyone else experienced this and are there any remedies?!
WTF to myself, I think? The doc asked me today if we had names picked and I said yes but that we weren't sharing. And he said "not even with the doctor-patient confidentiality?" and he was obviously joking, but I still didn't tell him. Now I'm feeling super lame. Is that weird that I withheld it? He couldn't have really cared, right? I mean he sees a million babies being born a year, does he really care about names? But then when I told a co-worker what I had done, she thought it was weird I didn't tell him also. I'm just not ready to start blurting it out, I guess? I don't know.

Same happened to me last week and I didn't tell either! My OB just smiled and said "ok..." And I totally wondered if I was weird for not telling her.

WTF bladder. I was standing a little funny switching laundry into the dryer and I peed myself a little. I didn't even sneeze, I was just standing there. Fucking kegels aren't working obviously.

Its probably for the best that you didn't tell. We aren't telling people but at one MFM appointment the ultrasound tech asked us and we told her and her response was just a blank face and it made us both uncomfortable like the name we chose was crazy or something. So now we aren't telling anyone.
WTF coworkers? We launched this app today and I just looked at the live version for two seconds before I sent a link to my client. She emails me back "that's nice, but one of my brands are missing." Ugh. I flipped out on the team because the developer should have fixed it days ago. He said he just forgot. One of my colleagues (on another account) emailed him "no worries, thanks for the explanation." Of course it's "no worries" for her! It's not her client... Mind your own business! I wasn't done bitching this kid out, and now I feel like I can't bc she said that. Ughhhhhh
I really need this today! I am SO MAD at my grandma, of all people. This is going to be a long one. So let me preface this by saying: my mom's mom is my only living grandparent. My dad's mom, the one who died in January, is the grandparent whom I was really close with and grew up near. My mom's parents have always lived 2 hours away and we would go see them a couple times a year, but they never came down to visit us or do holidays or anything.
So when I felt ready to start telling people I was pregnant in November, I knew that we should tell parents & siblings in person, then I really wanted to call my aunts (my dad's sisters) and tell them myself. They've been a really big part of my life and they deserved to hear it from me. So I figured I should probably call my mom's mom and tell her personally too; even though we're not close, she's my grandma and I can respect that. So I did. The call lasted literally 4 minutes. She could not seemed to have cared less about my news and spent most of that 4 minutes talking about my cousins who were also pregnant, then abruptly hung up on me (typical whenever you call her). I wasn't expecting more, so I didn't really care.
Fast forward to my shower 3 weeks ago. I stood by the door with my BFF and greeted everyone as they arrived, so I saw her and my aunts (mom's sisters) and hugged/greeted them enthusiastically. The shower got started right away and the first two hours we were all just sitting at our tables playing games and listening to speeches during lunch. Grandma was asked if she wanted to speak and declined. So after lunch/games, with only an hour left in the shower, I started to mingle before the cake was served and the photographer needed me for photos. I got through 3/4 of the tables in that time by working my way clockwise around the room. When the photographer signaled to me to come cut the cake, my grandma grabbed my arm as I walked past her table (they were my next table to visit with) and grumpily said, "You know it would be REALLY nice if you'd come and talk to your aunts after they drove all the way here for this." I responded nicely in the moment because I was in such a rush, telling her that I was going to finish my rounds after cake/photos. I went right over to their table after photos and started trying to engage them all in conversation. Not one of my mom's sisters or my grandma made eye contact or responded to a thing I said. So after trying to get them involved in the conversation for about 10 minutes (way longer than I spent with any other table), I politely excused myself to talk with the next table. I asked my mom about it later and she basically was just like, I didn't even notice so don't worry about it. Ok, whatever.
A couple days later, my grandma calls and leaves me this LONG voicemail about how I HAVE to call my one aunt and thank her personally for the handmade quilt she gave us as a gift. Now first of all, I'm an adult and I don't HAVE to do anything. But since I'm an adult and I have good etiquette, I was certainly planning to call each of the 3 guests who gave us a handmade item and thank them. I just hadn't had time because oh, you know, I'm pregnant, work full time and go to grad school. I let it go and didn't call her back. I called my aunt a couple days later and had a perfectly pleasant conversation.
So yesterday, I get a card in the mail from my grandma. She tells me that she received my thank you card and wanted me to know that she didn't think it was appropriate. She told me that I shouldn't have referred to her "sweet gifts" since she went to Babies R Us and simply paid for a lamp that I picked out for myself. Apparently, having a registry negates any thought on the part of the gift-giver and their gifts are merely purchases, not thoughtful tokens of love. Ok. Then she goes on to say that clearly I was confused about her gift, because I pluralized "gifts" and she only gave me one - the lamp. She said that perhaps her card had gotten lost (clearly it hadn't, since I knew the lamp was from her - DUH) during transportation back to our house and she wanted to (in capital letters) SET THE RECORD STRAIGHT that the ONLY gift she gave was the lamp I had picked out for myself. She then said that had I chosen to spend more time with people and their gifts at the shower, perhaps I would have known that already.
I am beyond pissed off. There was literally no additional time at my shower. I did the best I could on a very tight schedule to visit with every person, and there were still people who only got a hi/bye. Any time we had a break in games/speeches/eating, etc. I was up and running around talking to my guests. Maybe you shouldn't have sat at the farthest table from me if you wanted more face time. And maybe you should have acted interested in talking to me when I did come over and try to engage you. EVERYONE knows that the honoree at a shower is in high demand...there's so much for her to do and there simply isn't time for her to spend an hour with everyone. Maybe if you want that much time with me, you should drive down to see me every now and then, or at least make time for my phone calls. And how dare you criticize my thank you cards, when I, A) got them out one week after the shower and still managed to personalize every single one and B) ordered photo cards 2 weeks ahead of time so that everyone would get a cute card with a sonogram picture on it. You seriously sent me a card in which you criticized the wording I used to thank you for your gifts (sorry...gift singular)? Are you for real?
So now, I'm over it. There will be no more visits, no more calls, nada. If you feel the need to send me passive-aggressive cards when you have a problem with me in which you talk to me like I'm a child, my only response is fuck you. You show no interest in my life EVER and yet feel you can treat me like this? No way. I don't take this shit when my own mom tries to pull it (although now I know where she got it from)...I'm certainly not taking it from anyone else. I don't have time for the drama. And then of course, since I'm pregnant, I started to cry because I just kept thinking "My REAL grandma [dad's mom] would never have treated me like this! She was always proud of me. It's so unfair that she had to die and this miserable person is the grandma who gets to come to my major life events." GRRRR. My main goal as a parent is to never make my child feel like she is a disappointment just because she didn't do things the way I would or wanted.
WTF cat. Why do you have to announce every time you use the box. Good for you. But just shut up already. If you want a pat, come down and get a pat.
I heart-ed your post and the message that came up is that I "heard the kitty just wants your love". I cracked up.
Mine is WTF insurance companies that think they know my patients better than I do? Don't make me spend an hour on the phone to convince you that someone needs an inpatient psych hospitalization, I swear I'm not just sending them for funsies.
WTF, H's cousin? She has so many WTF moments but today she posted a picture of her 10 month old drinking SUGAR out of a red solo cup. This kid doesn't eat baby food; she eats whatever they're eating - cups of sugar included, apparently. Ugh. She was so blase about it, too - "Baby got into the sugar! How cute!" Newp.
WTF DD your behavior is getting worse by the day when i pick you up from daycare. It shouldnt take me a half an hour of you kicking and screaming to get you to the car. I am going to be completely exhausted if this keeps up, along with your fits to get ready and leave for the morning, since DH will be out of town most of the month.

WTF contact lenses and pregnancy. Seriously, they keep breaking down so much faster than they ever used to. Two week lenses used to last me a month, now I'm lucky if I get a week out of them before they begin to irritate my eyes and I have to toss them. I've even cut down on the length of hours I wear them each day. Also, my eyesight has gotten worse. I hope it gets better once baby is born.

WTF $8 for a 325g (0.7lb/11.5oz) bag of Cadbury solid eggs? I was going to surprise colleagues but that price is just ridiculous. I settled for hot cross buns instead.

From a fellow contact lens wearer, how annoying for you! I haven't experienced the same problem but i'm on Dailies because my eyes couldn't deal with resuseables. Annoying and costly for you.
WTF belly button!! Why must you be so damn deep! I swear it's like a canyon! All I want is a cute, round baby bump. Instead, I get a little sunken in spot where my belly button is!! Ahhhhhhhh!!!!
