W.T.F. Really???

I was in the pharmacy today and an older woman saw my stomach, then my (ringless because my hands are swollen) finger and said, "It's just typical of your generation to get pregnant without getting married."

I stared at her for a moment, then said, "I'm actually engaged, you old bat," and lifted the chain around my neck to show my engagement ring.

Then I turned around and walked away, because as angry as I was, I was also afraid that I would cry. Stupid hormones.

You could have said "Yeah, it's really hard not being married and having no idea who his father might be"

People can really be rude! 

lmao !!!!! I would have said that ! I'm not married and I'm expecting twin boys in july ! Doesn't make me a bad person ! I haven't had that yet but people never seem to get past the fact that I'm having twins ! :P

I never wear my rings because they never fit right AND I didn't take my husbands last name.  We get some of the most rude remarks from absolutely everywhere!  Especially when we take our son places.  Our son has my last name and our daughter will have his.  When we took him to get registered for kindergarten we got asked like 5 times if my husband was his biological father and I say "we" got asked but really they never spoke to him at all.  Just because he has my last name the people only seemed to direct their questions at me.  People are weird and rude.

I WISH I could have thought of some of this stuff! Before I was pregnant, I probably wouldn't have said anything- but I've become a lot less of a doormat since the baby. I stared at this woman, and I swear I wanted to punch her in the face.

Someone's actually said something to my FI too- he's Australian, I'm American, we live in Australia, and apparently some people here think American women are just gigantic hos, because someone actually said, "Wow- she's huge. Are you sure the baby's yours?"

FI looked at them, raised his eyebrow, and said completely deadpan, "Well, she did sleep around quite a bit before she got pregnant, so we're not sure exactly who the father is, but since she's rather attractive it could be worse." His best friend was with us, and he started laughing as soon as FI stopped talking.

That shut them up pretty quick.

Another one was when someone said, "My goodness, you're the size of a barge! You look like you're about ten months pregnant!"

My response was, "I'm PREGNANT? Oh my God! When the hell did that happen? Honey," calling over to FI, "did you know I'm pregnant??"

Part of me finds the rude questions pretty hilarious, because people who ask them genuinely seem to think its their business. I guess it's a lot like the "belly grabbers"- the folks who reach out and rub your stomach. People wouldn't DARE to do or say some of this stuff to a non-pregnant woman! smh
