But, I'd say you should be glad you flipped and glad that she cried because she felt bad. That sounds mean, but how else is she going to learn that that is hurtful? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-totally-yelledblew-up-at-my-mom-today/page/2#post-1152033 Wed, 16 Oct 2013 00:56:12 +0000 lemondrop 1152033@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Amazing how much moms can forget 20-30 years later, not so long ago they were in our shoes :(</p> <p>I really didn't make working out a priority until 15 months pp. I really had no interest until I felt ready, sleep and sanity took a greater priority in my life. </p> <p>PS- congrats on the new addition, she's a beauty! Hang in there mama! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-totally-yelledblew-up-at-my-mom-today/page/2#post-1152029 Wed, 16 Oct 2013 00:41:32 +0000 birdofafeather 1152029@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Congrats mama!!! Your mom is crazy and it happens to the best of them. Hope you can get past it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-totally-yelledblew-up-at-my-mom-today/page/2#post-1151711 Tue, 15 Oct 2013 19:01:37 +0000 dolphin 1151711@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh moms. When my mom visited me in the hospital after I have birth she asked me why I still have so much belly flab. She mentioned it a few times after that too. I was super annoyed! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-totally-yelledblew-up-at-my-mom-today/page/2#post-1151489 Tue, 15 Oct 2013 16:15:35 +0000 tooshi 1151489@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>first...congrats on your baby!! and second OMG...that was my father, four days after i gave birth "why is your stomach still so big" </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-totally-yelledblew-up-at-my-mom-today/page/2#post-1151420 Tue, 15 Oct 2013 15:38:41 +0000 MrsStar 1151420@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Congrats on your new baby! Those comments are horrible, you should be focusing on your new baby right now, not your weight! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-totally-yelledblew-up-at-my-mom-today/page/2#post-1151354 Tue, 15 Oct 2013 15:03:48 +0000 LovelyPlum 1151354@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm so sorry. :(</p> <p>But congrats on the new baby!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-totally-yelledblew-up-at-my-mom-today/page/2#post-1151350 Tue, 15 Oct 2013 15:02:18 +0000 swedishfish 1151350@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would've done the same thing. Congrats on the arrival of baby #2! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-totally-yelledblew-up-at-my-mom-today/page/2#post-1151349 Tue, 15 Oct 2013 15:02:18 +0000 sandy 1151349@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Rubies: THAT'S JUST RIDICULOUS!!! good for you standing up for yourself! I am convinced the older Asian generation needs to hear their kids speak up and tell them it's not ok to make comments like that. I totally went off my dad for getting on me about getting pregnant and then again about losing the baby weight. It definitely hurts their feelings but it's a learning experience and definitely helps the relationship going forward. </p> <p>Also, I missed the birth annihcement..CONGRATS! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-totally-yelledblew-up-at-my-mom-today/page/2#post-1151341 Tue, 15 Oct 2013 15:00:16 +0000 Ree723 1151341@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No!!! I would have lost it too, that's ridiculous and clearly she doesn't remember what it's like to go through childbirth :-( I'm sorry, comments like that are the last thing you need to hear.</p> <p>On the flip side, congratulations on the arrival of baby #2! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-totally-yelledblew-up-at-my-mom-today/page/2#post-1151337 Tue, 15 Oct 2013 14:56:52 +0000 Amelieisme 1151337@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Moms can be so cruel! They have no filter. Ridiculous to mention weight to a mom of a 5 day old newborn. I'm sure she didn't mean any harm, but she's off her rocker. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-totally-yelledblew-up-at-my-mom-today/page/2#post-1151294 Tue, 15 Oct 2013 14:29:11 +0000 Dapple Grey 1151294@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Gee, I was back in my pre baby size 4 , five hours after birth. I gave birth on the treadmill while doing cardio...said no one ever.</p> <p>Hang in there! I would have done the same and maybe even a little worse;) keep away fro her toxic negativity! Your beautful an your body Is an amazing thing! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-totally-yelledblew-up-at-my-mom-today/page/2#post-1151269 Tue, 15 Oct 2013 14:16:24 +0000 sunny 1151269@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Aww I'm so sorry. I get comments like that from my mom too and I think it's just her weird way of expressing that she cares about me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-totally-yelledblew-up-at-my-mom-today/page/2#post-1151243 Tue, 15 Oct 2013 14:07:27 +0000 illumina 1151243@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I missed your birth announcement too, so congrats!!!</p> <p>I had a similar comment from my Dad the day after I gave birth- I just smiled and ignored it because I didn't want to give the satisfaction that it got to me. Last time I saw my Mum (at 3wks pp) as soon as I came through the door, she patted my belly an told me I was doing good on the weight loss. I just ignored it again. I think in some weird roundabout way they are trying to be helpful! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-totally-yelledblew-up-at-my-mom-today/page/2#post-1151236 Tue, 15 Oct 2013 14:03:57 +0000 lioneyes 1151236@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>omg i am so sorry. ignore it. when princess kate came out of the hospital for her photo op, my mom said, "she looks she still has a baby in there." i screamed at her so loudly. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-totally-yelledblew-up-at-my-mom-today#post-1151227 Tue, 15 Oct 2013 14:00:28 +0000 dojo 1151227@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh :( That stinks. That is the last thing you want to hear! She's crazy!</p> <p>Also Congrats! :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-totally-yelledblew-up-at-my-mom-today#post-1151183 Tue, 15 Oct 2013 13:45:51 +0000 2PeasinaPod 1151183@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>At least your mom felt badly and apologized! My mom talked throughout my entire pregnancy about how fat I was getting. I couldn't take a bite of food without her hovering over me telling me not to eat too much b/c of how much weight I would gain. :sad: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-totally-yelledblew-up-at-my-mom-today#post-1151167 Tue, 15 Oct 2013 13:41:14 +0000 blackbird 1151167@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>hahahaha. oh man. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-totally-yelledblew-up-at-my-mom-today#post-1151166 Tue, 15 Oct 2013 13:40:37 +0000 nana87 1151166@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>that would prompt me to eat a big ol' bowl of ice cream, just out of spite. well, maybe not just spite, I loooove ice cream ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-totally-yelledblew-up-at-my-mom-today#post-1151141 Tue, 15 Oct 2013 13:33:14 +0000 Adira 1151141@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Rubies: Well at least you've had the conversation so hopefully this doesn't happen again!!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-totally-yelledblew-up-at-my-mom-today#post-1151137 Tue, 15 Oct 2013 13:31:52 +0000 Rubies 1151137@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks everyone!!! I called my mom and told her not to talk about losing weight to me. Then she cried because she felt bad. Oh, mother. :) who's the emotional one now? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-totally-yelledblew-up-at-my-mom-today#post-1151047 Tue, 15 Oct 2013 13:10:44 +0000 shopaholic 1151047@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Rubies: I would have blown up too!

Judging from other comments you have an asian mom. I have one of those too and I can relate :) Let's just cross our fingers and hope that we don't become like them!</p> <p>And congrats!!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-totally-yelledblew-up-at-my-mom-today#post-1151033 Tue, 15 Oct 2013 13:05:08 +0000 HabesBabe 1151033@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lavender: hahah, i was about to say! Asian moms/aunts/grandmas can always be counted on to make comments about weight. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-totally-yelledblew-up-at-my-mom-today#post-1151028 Tue, 15 Oct 2013 13:04:06 +0000 banana 1151028@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Rubies: WHAT THE???
