Re: stupid brother!

  • i agree with PP... i've been telling my family that I'm gonna milk and it's going to be a long 9 months...they laugh and give me grief, but they still do it... we're pregnant, we should be pampered!
  • i like the pp answer, we're allowed! ha. my friend's dh told her that none of that crazy emotional pg woman stuff was going to "work" on him. my jaw dropped. i thought she was fixing to nut punch him.

    While I agree that we should be pampered and that we deserve it, (Because we do!)  I think that theres a line that a few women cross when they are PG. (Ive encountered one of the most laziest PG gals I have ever met and UGH- seriously-)

    But pamper away! Im milking mine to an extent.

  • That depends on the definition of "milking it".  Do we expect a little more help around the house and understanding from our spouses and families because being pregnant adds a new dimension to day-to-day life?  That, I think, is natural and honestly only fair (at least as for our SOs).  If you mean expecting everyone to bend over backwards to accommodate us 24/7, I think you generally only see that behavior in people that are equally prone to it when they are not pregnant.  Male and female alike, there are self-involved people in the world.  Pregnancy doesn't usually change that.
  • I'd love to see men go through a week or 2 of pg symptoms, just to see how they would deal. Then they would understand why we 'milk it!' :)

  • Sounds like you would be doing the women of the world a favor in doing so.
