Babies on the Brain

People say the stupidest things...

 This is from Friday.

Coworker A has an 18 month old son who was born at 25.5 weeks due to a placenta issue (I think an abruption but she's never specifically stated that). He's doing very well now but still (as expected) has delays.

Coworker B delivered a healthy, chunky 8+ pound baby at 38 weeks but has been telling everyone for months that he was born "premature" and how much of a struggle she'd had with his "prematurity" (her reasoning is that he was 2 weeks premature b/c 40w is full term...uhhh, what?)

Coworker B ran into Coworker A in the hallway and told A that she knows "all about preemies, since she has one" and that, in the future, Coworker A will probably have a second preemie because her body "obviously had some issues".

Oh, and the only reason Coworker B's baby was "such a big preemie" was that she ate a tub of ice cream every day during her pregnancy, and maybe if Coworker A does the same next time, her preemie will avoid "ridiculous amounts" of NICU time.

Huge round of applause to Coworker A for NOT stabbing coworker B.Angry

  • Un-be-lievably!!!  What a fvcking douchebag.

  • I think if I were coworker A, I would have killed coworker B and buried her out back.  Mine were born at 37 and 2 and I cannot STAND when people refer to them as preemies.  1) They're not since 37 weeks is full term.  2) Calling my guys preemies, who were born perfectly healthy and just a little small, is such a slap in the face to people who really did have preemies and had to go through a lot of struggles. 

    I'm mad FOR coworker A. 

  • wow, she should have throatpunched her. I would have.
  • I would have gone ballistic.  What a biitch.

  • The pain that coworker B would feel while I tortured her in the office bathroom would be great.  What a dumb b!tch!
  • This makes my stomach turn. If I were A I'd have literally dragged B out by her hair and beat her in the parking lot. DD was born at 38 and 1 and in nooo way way she a premie. What a douche!
