Success after IF

was just asked "how far along" i am... :(

this idiot checkout girl at macys asked me.  i was standing there with a double stroller with two obviously newborn twins.  my mother was checking out and the girl called over "how far along are you?" and i said "um.  i just had twins."  and she said, pointing to my disgustingly still distended belly, "so this isn't another one on the way?" and i said "wow.  no.  this is residual."  i had no idea what to say... unbelievable.  and like i didn't already feel like crap about my weight and my belly.

people suck.

  • Ugh - what a complete moron.  I'm sorry you had to deal with someone so completely clueless. Don't let her get you down, you are the beautiful and amazing mother of twins - and she can go suck on it!
  • Wow... you're nicer than I am... I'm pretty sure I'd have answered that question with "Thanks a lot b!tch.. I just had 2 babies".  It never ceases to amaze me how stupid people are... like you just had 2 babies and they left one in there... Angry
  • What a moron! I'm so sorry. I'm sure you look fabulous.
  • What an asshat!!  That's crazy!  I'd punch her...well, I'd want to.  Sorry girl, that's just wrong and I'm sure you look GREAT after having twins!

  • What a moron. ?How old was she? ?Must have been young and/or not have any experience with kids and how they come into the world. ?

    Don't worry about it. ?Your body did a great job for those twins and helped make them healthy and it isn't meant to bounce back completely in two months. ??

  • Wow....after sticking her foot in her mouth, she inserted it up to her kneecap?!  What an idiot!!!  I'm sorry sweetie....people suck!
  • Here's my "how far are you story"

  • Oh, what a moron. Clearly not a mom herself. If it makes you feel any better, I'm still 23 pounds over my prepregnancy weight and look like I'm about 6 months pg at the end of most days. And I ate a pint of Chunky Monkey last night. The whole thing.

  • Indifferent  Are you serious?  How rude!  And, why the devil didn't she quit after you clearly pointed out you just had twins?  I don't get it!!!!!

     :::scratches head::::

  • OH.  MY.  GOD.  I am in SUCH a foul mood today I want to drive to your Macy's and beat her.  I am SO SORRY - if it makes you feel any better - a little neighbor girl asked me if I was pregnant again ... about 2 months ago so I had a four month old singleton at the time (little biitch.  hahaaa!)  Eff that awful check out person, she seriously must have mental issues, no one A) asks that and B) asks if you're SURE after you announce you JUST HAD TWINS. 

    Wheee!

  • that is totally insensitive and just plain DUMB.  what a moron!!!!!
  • Are you KIDDING me? ?I would have been furious! ?To say something when you were clearly with twins was rude -- but to say MORE after you said you weren't pg? ?There is no excuse for that. ?Don't listen to that b!tch -- your body worked its A$$ off for those babies! ?And I've seen pics of you -- you look great!

  • OK, I could forgive her for her first question, but the second one???

    We have earned our post pregnancy bellies!  I still hope to get rid of mine sometime soon, but in the meantime I just let it remind me of my beautiful girls!

  • One of my friends said the other day..."you don't ask someone if they are pregnant unless you see amniotic fluid or the baby coming out". ?I am so sorry. ?No excuse and just plain rude to continue questioning you.
  • Wow, that is the rudest thing I've ever heard.  I'm so sorry about that.  She must not be a mommy or have any sort of brains at all.  People suck!

    She should of said "sorry" and walked away ashamed of herself, not kept asking you to make sure you knew you still had a little belly. 

    I had a woman say "wow, you're brave to be pregnant again so soon after having them." I wanted to tell her where to go but I just frowned and walked away.  What's wrong with people??

    Same thing happened to me a few weeks after Bennett was born. I pretty much cried as I walked away.
