my latest pet peeve

GenRN45

People are constantly asking me how I feel when I'm at work. "Hey you look great, how are you feeling?"

To which i typically reply, "I've been tired, but I can't really complain" (because no one wants to hear about cramps, BH ctx or gas).

Yesterday, this happened, and after I said my token response, i got this "After everything you went through to GET pregnant, i don't want to hear you complain. You should just be enjoying it."

HEY!! YOU asked ME!!! I wasn't complaining about anything. If you didn't want to know, don't ask. I'm not going to blow sunshine up your butt to make YOU feel better. 

Grr. People.

(Keep in mind, only 3 people at work KNEW about the IVF. The rest were told by my assistant manager while I was out for IVF #1. So, now they all know.)

For a long time - I felt like I was almost disappointing people when I told them I felt pretty good.  It's almost like they wanted to hear how miserable I am and puking all day.

The last few weeks has been pretty rough on me - so now when people ask, I tell them about how uncomfortable I am.  The usual response?  "well, you are having twins, what did you expect?"

You can't win.

This person deserves a throat punch.

I am still mad that your supervisor outed you. That was wrong on so many levels.

Unbelievable. What is wrong with people? One thing I am definitely not looking forward to when I finally get KU is hearing everyone's opinions and advice. And I agree with Dragonfly... that is just so wrong that your boss outed you.

That's so frustrating!  People should just keep their mouths shut.  Geez.

And this is why I cannot stand people. I am terrified of being out at work because I don't want to hear stupid comments all day.

That is how it is at by work too.  Everywhere I go people are asking how I'm feeling.  After being asked 5 times a day it gets old.  I'm kind of dreading going back to work in August because I know it'll be worse since most of them haven't seen me all summer.  

I agree also, when asking how I'm feeling do you really want me to tell you the truth right here in the hall in front of 20 kids?  Probably not!

What an awful thing for someone to say!! And I can't believe your assistant manager outed you about IVF. That is such a personal choice. I'm so sorry.
