So I walk into a friend's office yesterday and run into the secretary who has always been cheering for my pregnancy and telling me that she's been trying for a while now.
After I tell her how happy I am blah blah, she says that she is miserable because she's pregnant and her boyfriend (mind you this woman is in her late 30's NOT a kid!) is making her get an abortion. But, she's not sure what to do..because reality is...she feels that she cannot afford a fourth child (her kids are 10-15 yrs old).And the WHOLE time she's telling me this, she's CHAIN smoking!??? wtf? You're still not 100% that you're having an abortion, but you're chain smoking?! Stupid people piss me off!! She should've just kept it all to herfself! It made me SOOO uncomfortable!
Re: some women are RETARDED!
""RETARDED""
Is not an accepted word on the Bump.
I agree.
You DO NOT want to use that word around here.
You have been warned....
Wow - you both are super Klassy.
Please try to expand your vocabulary a little
Yeah, I didn't even read the post. Retarded really is unacceptable.
Maybe she just doesn't like you because you speak like an ignorant teenager.
Or perhaps she's spotted your ginormous siggy and gathered the same impression.
WOW!!!
I am all pro-choice but she really should make the decision now.
How awful!
Ditto
Hey! Don't leave us with her...or do. I'll be gone in a week.

Your vocabulary is impressive did you complete all 5 years of elementary school?
::head hits desk::
So much THIS.
LOL.
You do realize that the word "retarded" does not mean "stupid"?
Try broadening your vocabulary horizons. Everyone in your life will thank you for it.
And your friend is a moron for smoking while pregnant. Her BF is a moron for not wanting to support his unborn child. Nobody can "afford" children, but somehow people make it work.
Hahaha! Agreed, 34 weeks, and we strictly enforce it.
Hopefully any children you have won't have any learning disabilities and you will never know why that word is so offensive to some. But if you do, I'm sure you will feel differently about throwing that word around.
AGREED....

Agree - is there even an office you can still smoke in left in America?
So I totally agree with everyone that your choice of words is pretty horrible. But I also have to question a part of this story. You had walked into your friend's office and this woman was smoking? What office lets a person chain smoke indoors? And what the hell were you doing hanging out with a person chain smoking indoors? Just sayin'
Whoa! Way to be 'expansive' on your vocabulary by quoting reply after reply and repeating the same thing OVER AND OVER! I get it okay! I was not aware that everyone would take that word to heart at the moment I wrote my post....I just wrote quick and posted. I agree it's a word that is widely misused and I messed up! My apologies for the 'word' but you can all go to hell for your attitude. I'm sure you can 'flame' all you want there!
Douche? That's the best you could do? And who designated you as the gatekeeper over at 3rd tri? As far as I'm concerned, I started my third trimester YESTERDAY and I will go to THIRD whenever I feel like it. Although if YOU are an accurate representation of what the ladies are like there, maybe I don't want to share anything with you.
Promise?
