So, you would never go up to an obese person and point out their size to them or go up to someone with Lupus and ask if they did their make-up without a mirror, right? So, WHY OH WHY do people think it's ok to go up to an obviously late-term pregnant woman and ask her things like "are you having twins" or say things like "you're huge!". Hello, mofos ... you're being INSENSITIVE AND RUDE!!!!!!
Re: Rude People
You might be my hero.
I actually had someone ask me if i had started to lose any weight yet. Nope sorry still PG. People are stupid and should probably think before they open their mouths.
What's the big deal? Being big is part of being pregnant, I think I look beautiful and round and womanly. If you can't take a joke then just stay home.
Being pregnant is nothing like being obese...and I think obese people should be told how gross they are.
I am seriously loving you right now...
I agree, but sometimes we have emotional/more sensative days and when people comment on how big you are when you feel like ***, I totally understand why women get pissed.
Well thats not the other peoples problem. It's your own.
OP, I totally get where you are coming from, I was just telling MH the other day that you're supposed to tell pg women how beautiful they are and they're glowing and yada yada, not that they are huge!!

No, I take nothing personally. I see myself as beautiful, no one can shake that.

This Cluttered Life
Everytime I see my MIL she makes a huge deal of how big I have gotten. I must be getting stretch marks I am growing so quickly and huge. I see her atleast once a week too. I tell her I am actually not that big I am growing right on track. She goes I dont think thats possible you just look so huge. It annoys me so badly! I say well I am getting bigger because your grandchild inside of me is getting bigger daily! She is suppose to be!
I think people who make rude insenstive comments are gross.
I think fat slobs and women who think others must cater to their emotional needs are gross.

HAHAHAHAH LMAO!! That just made my day
I get the comments a lot...just today, my husband's section chief decided to point out how 'large' I am, and that I should watch out around the new guys, I might knock their 'scrawny butts over with that tummy' of mine. I'm also getting a lot of comments on how surprised people are I am still even pregnant. "You look like you should have pushed that baby out a month ago". Ok...thank you everyone...I needed to hear these oh so lovely comments. Makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. My doctor says I'm right on track, and I'm not due for a little over a week yet. Granted, I WISH she would come now, but I'm not SURPRISED I'm still pregnant, and neither is my doctor.
I also can't stand people who would tell someone they look gross because of their weight, or for any other reason. If anyone were to every tell my father he looked gross because he was obese, they might be arresting one very pregnant lady for beating the crud out of someone. Some people have problems where they are over weight for a reason. Not because they WANT to be over weight, but because they honestly can't help it. THAT'S why you should never tell a person they look fat or such, no matter what the circumstances. You have no clue what's going on. Only a doctor should be able to tell someone "Hey, you are unhealthy, lose weight." Why should a pregnant woman have to hear the rude and hurtful comments?
The OP is complaing about people who make comments she finds rude, anbd Im complaining about people who complain about other peoples comments. And now you are complaining about me.
Part of me wanted to be annoyed, but she actually had a very jolly countenance, she was very sweet, and clearly had no intent to be offensive at all, so I just thanked her with a smile and continued waddling into the store.
// I love you too. //
Oh fighting over words someone has said is ever so classy. Cute picture of your kid in camouflage also, I'm sure you are teaching him the same values. "If you take personal offense to what someone says, you can go head and lay your hands on them".
Loooooser!
Also, only 1% of obese people are that way because of a valid health issue. The rest are lazy and do not eat properly or exercise enough and regularly. Sorry, it's the truth.
You find you start taking things a lot more seriously the less time you have left with that person. I only have a short amount of time left with my father, and to tell a dying man he is gross...well, I don't think a person should be able to walk away without a shiner after something like that. Say what you will about me, but try to be a little more sensitive toward others. You don't know their situation. What will you do? Walk up to an over weight person and ask them, "Are you over weight because of health reasons, or do you just like finding Cheetos under your rolls?" I doubt you could stoop so low...the point is, don't make rude comments. It's belittling, and it shows ignorance.
All right troll, no one really cares what you think.
I'm glad that you found a way to amuse yourself by purposely starting fights on a message board. You are super cool.
I think you are EXTREMELY rude, plus who are you to judge others about the lessons they teach their children. No one likes a negative nancy and that is exactly who you are being right now.
Did you punch this person in the throat? If not can you find them and do it now?
LOL! I love it! But come on now... you came onto a message board full of overly emotional (and I mean the whole emotion spectrum ) 3rd trimester pregnant woman and started something? How was that even a challenge enough to be entertaining??
Bahahahaha!! Love it!
LOL to funny!!
Yep.... "aruiz1982" is the chick that always has a judgmental comment about people's post. Its her M.O., people should take what she says with a grain of salt. I think she just likes to cause drama for the thrill of it, because in the end it's all anonymous. I highly doubt she believes half the stuff she says, and probably would never say it to a live person.
