Giving/Getting advice- wwyd

HappyFeet07 · February 2012

There's a girl that I work with which I am also friends with outside of work. She had a baby boy last June. Ever since I became pregnant she is all of a sudden the "all knowing". It's starting to get really annoying!!! Not even my mom nor my fiance's mom has been this crazy about giving "advice". Literally every time I open my mouth about anything remotely related to my pregnancy or baby products she has the "right" answer!

To top this off she even tries to tell me that my fiance will be a dead beat dad like her boyfriend is, and that I should expect to do EVERYTHING myself. Really? Because you know him oh so well.

I guess my question is wwyd in this situation? Would you open your mouth and tell her that enough is enough or just bite your tongue and let her keep on? I'm just getting really annoyed at this point and don't know what to do! TIA

I'd stop talking to her about my pregnancy. If she asks about it, I'd make it as short of a response as possible and change the subject in the same breath.

Since you work with her too, i'd leave it alone and try to avoid the baby talk as much as possible. I probably would have to have a "bless your heart" comeback about her calling your fiance a deadbeat though. She can give you unsolicitated advice but attacking your fiance is over the line.

I'd just tell her thanks for the advise but you don't want anymore.
