Poor DH went for a haircut and...

of course got the pregnant stylist. And if that wasn't hard enough she started talking about "19 and Counting". She was going on and on about how she couldn't believe what a big deal they made out of losing their baby, and how they even had a memorial service. My poor DH wanted to run out of the shop, but was stuck in the chair with only 1/2 of his hair cut. So she kept on blabbing and DH decided to try his best to tune her out. So...on his way out he said congrats and good luck. Her response was "well, I'm already 15 weeks, so everything should be fine." DH's response (in his head)...."If you only knew"

Ignorance is bliss.

Wow. I would have run out of there with tears streaming down my face. Half haircut and all. I'm proud of your DH for staying strong. I don't think I could. So sorry he had to deal with that.

I would have not been so courteous. I wish DH would have told her how it is so maybe next time she would have a little couth!

Ugh, poor DH! I know my DH would have not been so courteous. I am sorry that he had to deal with that. I agree that ignorance is bliss...

I have only been twice to get my hair cut in the past year since my loss because i don't like to talk to the hairdressers. I know there are being nice but if you are a woman to make conversation the first thing people say usually is, "do you have any kids?" Then I have that moment where I have to say "no" and feel horrible or awkwardly tell I lost my only child. ((hugs))

Wow, your husband is really strong. I would have lost it. My husband was also really worried about seeing his hairdresser. She remembers everything, and he knew she would ask how I was feeling. He had to prepare exactly what he would say.

I haven't been to have my haircut since we lost Lucian. My hair person was pregnant at the same time and we were pregnant "together", so I don't think I can face having to deal with it. She's been my stylist for a loooong time and I really like her, but I don't think I can deal. My SIL goes to the same person and she even offered to call first and ask her not to mention anything to me, but it felt too weird.

I am so sorry for your DH. Honestly, I am glad he was able to cope, but I would seriously consider calling the manager and telling them that they lost a future customer and give a brief description of what happened- I am sure she wasn't aware she was being so hurtful, but the salon should know. It's horrible that he had to go through that, especially when he was paying for the service.
