Very stupid "you shouldn't do that" comments

I just had someone walk into my office for something and instead the proceeded tell me I shouldn't be listening to the music I'm listening to, because my baby can hear it. Do I want my baby to be exposed to European Gothic Metal? Heck yes!
Funny part is, they had to walk all the way to my desk to hear it, so I know it wasn't disturbing them.
Have you gotten any very stupid "you should do that" comments yet? Let's hear them!

LOL! LOL!
Finnish death metal is terrible for babies!!! HAHAHA
that's amazing!
Ugh, please tell me they were being snarky or had the least bit of humor in their tone.
I constantly have people telling me I shouldn't hop or do any skipping (in playing with my daughter or one of my nephews) and I remind them that the Dr's all agree that you can maintain any level of activity that your body was used to pre-pregnancy yet they still raise their eyebrows and act like I'm torturing the lil one in me or doing damage to my body.

January PAL Siggy Challenge: Good Advice
my MIL is on this kick that tylenol is bad and i should meditate when I have my migraines. I've decided next time she says that I am going to flip out on her.
you will pry this tylenol from my cold, dead, hands!
Well, despite foolish silly unknowledgeble doctors saying you can have Tylenol, don't you know that allowing that poison into your body will turn your baby into a unicorn or alien even?
This is awesome.
Im sorry, but I am sure that European gothic metal has less of an effect than you listening to Justin Bieber.
Now I'm picturing the baby dressed in full on goth metal gear and I just wanna pinch his/her cheeks!

Here Comes Mommy
I am going to down this whole bottle in hopes that I have a unicorn!
Hmmm...I wonder what you have to consume to make this tylenol-induced unicorn-baby fart rainbows?
Yeah right - tell someone with a migraine to meditate it away.
Sadly, no. There was no snark involved. Most of the women I work with are older and are total know-it-alls, especially about having kids. To be honest, I'm really hoping our kid loves Nightwish, Epica, Within Temptation, etc.. because when they are older the concerts can be fun family road trips!
PS. These coworkers also HATE our idea of a medieval/dragon themed nursery. With gray walls. The horror! (MIL hated it too, which is why it was so appealing to me!)
Every morning M-F I drink one can coke when I get to work. I've done this my whole pregnancy so far. Yesterday my boss finally said, "you know you are suppose to LIMIT your caffeine intake, right!"
My coke was wonderful this morning. :-)
Skittles, duh!
Apparently your co-worker never saw this video:
Haha... I just sent that to my husband. He would totally try that and I bet it would work.

Babies R Us
Currently going through our second deployment. Can't wait for Zoe to meet her daddy!
I only get to see my nieces a few times a year so when I do I am all lovey dovey with them
When pregnant with my LO at my shower I was holding my youngest niece, 3 at the time and tiny. A woman(friend of family I don't really know) came over and told me to put her down that is was incredibly unsafe. She said it pretty loud and I could tell a lot of people were now looking at her and me. I told her thanks for the advice and continued to hold my niece and walked away. She was really mean about it too. My niece was upset b/c the woman scared her and she didn't understand why the lady thought I shouldn't hold her.
OMG, I just snotted water everywhere.
BWAHAHAHAHAHAH!
LOL! LOL!!!
you make a good point!
edit: I know you dislike "LOL" but I actually am LOL'ing.
why?
i'm stumped over this one.
yes people hate if you say you're painting your nursery grey, then it's like all is forgiven once you say everything else is colourful.... people just suck.
and again...why couldn't you eat this amazing sounding roll?
1. Everyone and their mom keeps telling me I need to quit my job because I am pregnant. I am a hairdresser and doing my job most certainly will not kill my child. Hello people this is not the 80's, hair color products are 100 times different and safer than they were in the past. All of my industry friends have continued to work throughout their pregnancies and their babies have survived needless to say. Stupid. Also, go ahead and color your freakin hair. You and the baby will be ok. I promise.
2. My FMIL freaked out when I apologized that I kept pocket dialing her. She said I can't have my cell phone touching my body or close to me or it will give the baby cancer. SERIOUSLY?! WTF! I told her she must be getting brain cancer for allowing the phone to touch her head while she talks to me. She shut up.
There are plenty of other things I have been told not to do that are completely ridiculous but these are the only ones that currently come to mine...
Hi btw...I felt an official coming out of lurking post was too cheesy for me.
LOL This is awesome!
