Rude co-worker comment

JessheartsRuss

So I went to say good-bye to a retiring co-worker and he says "you're almost back to your normal size". I'm sure he meant well but geez I just had a baby 8 weeks ago...people can be so rude sometimes!

they don't know what else to say so they have to say something stupid...this happens w/ old age I think.

That's terrible!  A "you look great" would have sufficed.

My mom likes to tell me that she went home in her pre-PG clothes from the hospital, which is total BS.  She continues to repeat this despite the fact that I am not anywhere near putting on pre-pg jeans.

Here is a post from this afternoon that I posted on my local board

 

Im sitting here almost in tears.

I just had a lady come to the window 'oh, I didnt know you were pregnant' I replied 'im not, shes 3 months old and im getting tired of comments like that' I made it know that I was pissed. I wuldnt even look at her afterwards. 

Im down 13 lbs this month. People like this make me feel like I have accomplished NOTHING!! She is the 3rd person that asked me this month. 1 lady that asked also asked in June!

This lady only saw me from the chest up so I dont get it. Im so pi$$ed right now i could cry!

Can you believe how rude people are?!?

It makes me mad that any man would think a comment about a woman's body like that would be appropriate. And I'm sorry that someone's mom would be so insensitive about it either.

I feel for you all, I'm in the same boat and I wonder if I will ever get back to my "normal" size. It's so depressing to still be wearing maternity clothes.

DH's grandma told me once that she went home in a size 2 pencil skirt from before she was pregnant.  I told her that that was back when they thought smoking wasn't harmful and women weren't supposed to gain weight when they were pregnant....I got the face and DH just giggled.
