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.
-
I missed your birth announcement too, so congrats!!!
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!

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.

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.
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!

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.
-
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.On the flip side, congratulations on the arrival of baby #2!

@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.
Also, I missed the birth annihcement..CONGRATS!
-
I would've done the same thing. Congrats on the arrival of baby #2!
-
I'm so sorry.
But congrats on the new baby!!!
-
Congrats on your new baby! Those comments are horrible, you should be focusing on your new baby right now, not your weight!
-
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"
-
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!
-
Congrats mama!!! Your mom is crazy and it happens to the best of them. Hope you can get past it!
-
Amazing how much moms can forget 20-30 years later, not so long ago they were in our shoes
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.
PS- congrats on the new addition, she's a beauty! Hang in there mama!
-
Congratulations!!!
As for your mom, that's nuts. 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?
I'm sorry, comments like that are the last thing you need to hear.
