Ugh. Then why did you ask? (lil' vent)

in 2nd Trimester

I just had a coworker ask how we were doing the nursery if we had a girl.  I told her probably in pink and white with black accents.  She stuck her nose up and said "oh, no you won't.  That's no good."

Um...ok.  Actually, I thought I would, that's why I said it. She said pink is too traditional, I shouldn't go so traditional.  (I live in a 95 year old house that I've been restoring to its original layout, and all of our furniture is antique...I happen to *like* traditional).

Why do people ask our plans if they are just going to disagree?  This is like asking what someone is going to name their baby and then cutting down the name.  Lady, it ain't your nursery.  Go paint your own house.

    People suck.

    BTW I love your idea. ?I'm sure it helps that my favorite color is pink. :)?

    Eh, nobody likes my nursery because its Winnie the Pooh and they say I shouldnt have liscenced characters in a babies room. Um, ok. I was given all the bedding for free, so free is what I'll use

    OMG, what's wrong with a Winnie the Pooh room?  There's nothing more wholesome and wonderful than Pooh.

    People are weird.

    So she's decided that black is traditional for a girl AND you don't get to plan for your own children.  Sounds like a peach!

    I think it will be beautiful and compliment more traditional architecture wonderfully.

    I kind of get the same reaction when I tell people that my girls room's theme is dragonflys.  I ignore them though because it has personal meaning between me and my father.

    Ugh, people can be so rude. I had the same thing when people asked what I was naming the baby. They turned their nose up like really?? Yes. I like it and I don't plan on changing it b/c you don't.

     Sorry, didn't mean to vent on your post Smile

    LMAO, I am using the same thing.  My brother and friend did their room that way and man I am taking free over spending money on something I like.  Who cares?

     We're also doing a bug-themed room for our daughter, and everyone's first reaction is "Bugs?! For a GIRL'S room? How... interesting."

    I'm trying to contain my combined rage at your coworker and raging jealousy of your house!!!  I am desperate for us to buy an old house, but alas, here in Austin, they cost a cool half million for the most part... enjoy that old house and the new baby in it!!!
