It just gets better. Smug Pregnant Woman

A&Aa · May 2009

I just got this in my mailbox:

You are Invited to a

"Very Happy Hour"

Here's a little alternative for all those mommies-to-be who can't partake in the normal Friday Happy hour activities! Please join me (us!) on Friday, May 15 at 3:00pm at ___________________ for some coffee (decaf!), conversation, and commiseration! Hope to see you there!

(This invitation is open to all woman! Feel free to come even if you're not pregnant!)

I have no words. None. None at all.

PS-It is very commonplace to get happy hour invitations in your box here. Just explaining that

OMG, I wonder if the host(s) realize how ridiculous that sounds?. If it's any consolation, it's sounds really lame anyway.

If it is commonplace to get happy hour invites and there are a few pregnant women there, this is not so bad.

and why can't she do the normal but just not drink? or is the bar uber smokey?

Mrs_Liberto · May 2009

I want to tell her (with a very polite little smile) that she should take her invitation and fvck herself with it.

WTF? ::heads to CT to give A a hand throat punching::

TheMrs923 · May 2009

Have you ever even told this woman you're TTC? ?Why is she rubbing this crap in your face?! ?What a twit.

Are there places where you can still smoke in bars?

This is exactly what I was thinking. It seems a little insensitive if they know you, or anyone else for that matter, are TTC.

Honestly, it doesn't sound like they're a fun group of women anyway - thank goodness you don't have to go and listen to their inane ramblings!

You can smoke in bars where I live.

mrs_b_2007 · May 2009

i have no words of support either. other than I know people who are exactly like this - and they drive me CRAZY.

this woman cannot see past her own situation. Peopel like this never can. How far along is she? Has she even been pg for more than a week??

No smoking in bars in CT

hollybabe · May 2009

Meh...the only thing about this chick that seems annoying (really fecking annoying) is that she is SO INTO being pregnant and thinks everyone else must be just as interested in her pregnancy. Why the hell would someone not pregnant want to "commiserate" with her?

I bet she wouldn't STFU about her wedding, either.

She knows....without a doubt. I think there are two other pregnant women that I work with.

This is all one person, btw....not a specific group of womEn, but one womAn

She's 12 weeks. She had her sonogram on Monday, I think.

Its like she had the sonogram, and her head exploded. In all seriousness, I think she knows it bothers me and thats why she's doing it. Or I'm paranoid. Either one.

this x 1,000.

she is "one of those" who continues to talk about her wedding to this day. soooo annoying.

Yes, we are the ash tray of the Midwest! I CAN'T wait for July 2010.

Yeah, that sounds pretty lame to me anyway. Think she likes her exclamation points? To give her the benefit of the doubt, I don't think she was thinking of anybody but herself in the invite, definitely doesn't seem aware it sounds insensitive to those TTC. Very annoying regardless.

LindsG81 · May 2009

So she writes on the invites it's for "mommies-to-be" and then ends with it's for all women? WTH?

If it were me I would probably show up with a bottle of vodka and pour myself a big martini! But sometimes I'm a biiitch like that. Wink
