"Oh! I thought you were just getting fat!" to a pregnancy announcement.
SIGH.
-
@Espion: RUDE! Who the heck said that?
-
Oh god…. Some people! Why do people think that's ok??
-
@Espion:
-
Wait...it's not? Shoot.
-
I would want to say with a smile and in the sweetest tone possible, "Oh, I thought the same about you!"
-
At 20 weeks I was told "don't worry you could still just get away with looking like you are fat". I'm normally like 115lbs, my belly was huge! I was so offended!
-
what did they say now?! RUDE!
-
Rude!
-
My god!
-
Oh my! So rude.
-
Wow, that's terrible.
-
People!
-
I don't understand people
-
@cmomma17: Uhhh, my MOM.
-
@Mrs. Oatmeal:
@AmeliaBedilia: I would totally go there if it wasn't my mother who said it.
@Mrs tartan: Wut. Why do people even think that is a compliment??!
@renee: @swedishfish: @birdofafeather: @Leialou: @MrsMccarthy: @jhd: @LAZB: @Smurfette: @FaithFertility: Word, ladies. Somewhere there needs to be an etiquette class where people are taught to say, "You look fabulous!" as a catch-all response phrase. Seriously.
-
Soo rude!!!
-
Ugh, I am so sorry. Ridiculous.
-
Aww, sorry! My closest childhood friend said this to me a couple of years ago!
-
@Espion: gee thanks Mom! Does it make you feel better if my mom's reaction was just "you're going to be busy!"
-
geez! Moms are so critical!
-
@cmomma17: Ugh! I would totally reward that with a "No shit, Sherlock"!
-
@cmomma17: @Espion: Our moms should be friends. My mom said, "Well I know I told you guys to wait a while before you had kids, but I just read that children of older fathers are more likely to be autistic, so you have my blessing." WTH?!
-
My grandmother's response to finding out LO would be a girl: "I knew it because your butt is so big! It doesn't do that with boys."
And the only time she had seen me before the scan I was still wearing non-maternity clothes. In a size 2.
-
Oh man, I feel your pain. My mom told me I looked like a sausage one day when I was about 12 or so weeks along. She tried to back pedal and say I normally look like a tube and now I look like a sausage... I told her to just stop talking.
-
@Mrs. Coral: Uh, thank you for the compli-sult? Yeow! Sometimes I wonder where I learned the concept of social grace...
@Weagle: For my first pregnancy, my grandmother told me she thought I "let myself go" after marriage. Jigga-WHA? I'm a perfectly average size 6/8, and I wasn't even in maternity clothes yet when she said that! Maybe I need new mirrors.
-
There was a woman at my work who said that exact thing to me repeatedly while I was pregnant. Some people!
I don't understand people
