ILs always telling me I am BIG!

cs1007

 Every time I see my in laws they tell me how "big" I have gotten...while everyone else I see tells me that I look "cute" or that they can barely tell I am pregnant. I don't care if you are pregnant or not...no one wants to be told they are "BIG". Even when I was not pregnant, I they were always commenting on my weight/size/shape. It makes me feel SOOO uncomfortable-like they are always analyzing me!!!!!!!!

Vent over...

DH's grandmother does this to me all the time. She actually told me I was getting fat when we saw her at Christmas. She just says "you sure are getting big"...I wanna say "you sure are getting old"

How irritating!!! Like they are the perfect mold of some perfect humans!! Geez!! Just smile and kill them with kindness. You never know one of them could wake up one day with a huge mole on their face. Then what?? He he. I'm evil!! LOL

my boss said the same thing to me this week. ?i think i put him in his place though. ?he later corrected himself and said that i just really look pregnant, like my belly suddenly popped. ?my mom told me i looked like i was smuggling a watermelon as well. ?thanks mom.?

I'm at work and that made me laugh out loud at my desk.

It boggles my mind why people think this is an acceptable thing to say to someone!  It's so rude.  I don't randomnly go up to people and say "man your getting huge."  Maybe I should start...that'll teach them.

My MIL sats the greatest thing...she says "you look PERFECT" everytime I see her.  This being my first I had no idea that was the PERFECT thing to say to a seven month pregnant woman, but it is.

My biggest gripes are with the people at work.  I work in a small program within a huge agency.  The people in my program are great.  They say things like, "That baby is growing great!" (Which I don't mind)  There is one woman that comes into our office from another part of the agency that says stupid *** like "OHMIGOD, When are you going to have that thing?!"  I want to throat punch her, several times, and then knee her in the vagina.  She's 45, single, and never had kids...there's a reason for that-you know?

Ha!! that is funny! I am really not sure why people think that just cause you are pregnant that it is okay to comment on someone's growing body like that...I think it is so rude. God...I hope I NEVER said anything like that to someone!

Ugh, I'm sorry!  I hate it when people are like that.  They just don't get it.  Sometimes I wish I had the balls to say "Yeah, well I'm pregnant so what's YOUR excuse??"  Maybe that'd teach them to keep their mouths shut.

Yea I always wonder if people actually think about what they are going to say before they say it?  And how it makes others feel?  This happened to me at work all the time.  But with your ILs, they should know better. 

My 94 yr old gmom called me fatty on Sunday but what I am I supposed to say...it was her birthday and she's 94  LOL  So I let it slide.  Anyone else though and I'll knock 'em out!

It never ceases to amaze me what will fall out of people's faces. I was so insecure because I started showing early and another girl in my office has the same due date as me and she is taller and everyone was like "wow, you are so much bigger than her" I felt like a whale. Or people that say OMG are you about to bust! and i still have 6 weeks left.  I was beginning to wonder if I was setting the record for the fattest pregnany woman in history. At the grocery store a complete stranger asked what I was having...I said girl.....she said are you sure there is only one in there. STFU !!!!!!!!!!!

I'd say, "you are always sticking your foot in your mouth, thanks for the esteem lift!"  But, I'm just a b$%#& like that.

Last week I walked into the break room at work and a male co-worker said that I must be due any day now.  Nope, pretty sure I announced I was pregnant at 12 weeks and now I am 28 weeks which gives me 12 more weeks to go....  He replied by saying, well it looks like it's going to be a 20 lb baby then!  Um, pretty sure my doctor said that the baby's weight is right on target and estimated that it will be 7 or 8 lbs at birth.

Glad I'm not the only one with insensitive ILs. ?We spoke with my MIL & FIL via skipe and the first words out of FIL's mouth are "Oh my, are you having quadruplets?" ?(he could only see my face/shoulders at the time!!!). ?And MIL says "You're getting so much bigger!" (every time she sees me). ?I swear they say those things just because they know it bothers me. ?I just laughed and said to my FIL - well I'm pregnant with your grandchild - what's your excuse?

I'm sure you look beautiful - and you're almost there! Just be healthy and happy.?

DH's grandmother actually said in a room full of people " I dont know where you are carrying that baby but it looks like she is in your As$ " After I laughed, uncomfortably, I told her I've always had that she said " No it is definatly getting bigger by the day "     Thanks a lot

My IL are not telling me that iam  getting big or anything. Actually my MIL on last Saturday, said something about me being 7 months and i didn't look like it. I started laughing and I said I am 8 months, I am 34 weeks. She was really surprised. She was like are you really, you don't look like it. That made me feel good, because 3 days before that I went out with my mom, I can't stand her. She always tells me " boy, you are sure getting big" or she will say some comment like that. I am like how rude. My mom always has to comment on something negative. I am thinking no wonder i dont' want to call you when i go into labor. Because when i was in labor with DD 5 years ago, my mom was getting on my nervs, and i kicked her out of the room, and the whole time i was pushing she kept pounding on the door, can i come in yet, then she started pushing notes under the door, for the doctor asking him if she can come in.

 

Because my mom kept making these rude comments, like if the doctor had to check to see if i was dilated anymore, and my mom had to make comments, to that. so i told her she had to leave the room. And now she is doing it all over again. starting off with how big iam getting.

i can totally commiserate - i'm getting so irritated by people telling me how big i am!  i know i look like i have a basketball growing from my stomach, and i know that my bump is probably comparatively large, but seriously - is it necessary to be told every day how big your belly is?  or, to be asked if i'm positive it's only 1 baby i'm carrying??  as if i can't already tell on my own that my baby bump is far more than a bump!

i'm sure you're adorably pregnant - just try to ignore it! 

cpq

Try having your own mother tell you that!  I am almost 34 weeks and am starting to have trouble moving...not sure how i will make it another 6 weeks!  OMG i think i just freaked myself out...6 weeks!  I am so not ready!

My ILs and aunt sometimes make me feel like I look like a Goodyear blimp. All I am is boobs and baby belly. I look good to be this far in my pregnancy. My MIL makes it seem like my nose has spread like half way across my face. lol

tolbert2007

They are IL'S they are jealous my MIL does it all the time and others say you don't look that pregnant. I just tell her and them BIG and fine honey don't hate. If it makes you feel better my MIL looks like she is still pregnant and her last child she had was 18 years ago. LOL!
