Can someone PLEASE explain to me again.............

why people seem to think that they can comment on anything they want about you when you're pregnant????????? Chat Icon

What is it with people, are they just completely stupid or what?? My idiot BIL yesterday tells me out of nowhere that he things I look bigger than my friend Jill who is due 6 weeks before me. First off, I don't and secondly, I had to then explain to the moron that everyone carries differently and no two women carrying a baby look the same. I am carrying differently from her for sure but not bigger. It took such restraint to not not lunge over the table and ring his neck!!

Then the other day a teacher at school was like, "WOW! You've really broken out on your face. Normally you have such beautiful skin". Well thank you for the back handed compliment. Again, do you think that I need you to point out my flaws at this point in time being almost 7 months pregnant? As if I don't have mirrors in my house!!!

Good lord, I have no patience for such stupidity. Doesn't anyone realize that all a pregnant woman wants to hear is how great they look, how nice they are carrying, how much they glow, etc. etc. Because the reality is most of us feel like fat whales and not only are we keenly aware of our flaws at this point in time the last thing we need is for random people to point them out to us on a daily basis!! Sheesh!!!!

Okay, I feel better now................rant over!!! Chat Icon

So rude!! My BIL (who usually gets under my skin and drives me nuts on a good day) is lucky I showed restraint and didn't snap back to point out the fact that he has the same exact body as Sponge Bob!!! Chat Icon Chat Icon Lucky for him I am TOO nice!! Those who live in glass houses...............................

Re: Can someone PLEASE explain to me again.............

Do people really do that!?! OMG! I'm so sorry! I remember when my SIL was about to give birth. I hadn't seen her in 3 weeks and when I walked in and saw her my mouth dropped and I said- OMG! You're huge! but I meant that she was so swollen. That was 4.5 years ago and she never forgot it. I don't say anything now but how awesome a pregnant person looks bc I never want anything I say to come out the wrong way and hurt thier feelings. So on behalf of stupid people...we are sorry!Chat Icon
