No one probably even remembered you were pregnant

Some said this to me today!
I am a teacher so it has been 2 months since I had seen most of my colleagues. Today would be our first day back so a friend spread the word a little slowly, just to let people know I didn't want to talk about it. So, she spoke specifically to the the one person I didn't want to hear from (you know the overly sympathetic one?who makes a big scene). She told her I didn't want to talk about it and I didn't need any mothering. Well low and behold she comes, makes a b-line straight to me and says "I heard you had some sad happenings this summer". I just told her yes and tried to move on. She then looked me straight in the eye and said "You know you probably didn't even need to worry about telling anyone, no one probably remembered you were pregnant anyway". I wanted to scream at her and say "I remembered?I knew?this is not about ALL of YOU."
I am sure she had good intentions but that is why I didn't want to talk to anyone about it. Not because it would make them uncomfortable but because I didn't want to listen to these kind of comments.
Sorry, I just needed to vent!!

(((Hugs)))) I am so sorry.

Not only is that insensitive - it's wrong. The people who matter most certainly remember you were pregnant. It doesn't seem fair that we have to validate the lives of our children.
I hope everyone else was a little more sensitive and you have a great second day of school - I have to go back on Thursday.

Please don't apologize for your language. So many of those expletive were in my mental conversation (screaming) with her yesterday.

I cannot believe that anyone would ever say that! That is so insensitive! Ugh. Didn't her mama ever tell her if she didn't have anything nice to say, not to say anything at all?

No longer trying to conceive.
Wow, just wow. What an ignorant b!tch. I would have told her off. You are a much better person then I. I'm sure your first day back was challenging enough without her nasty comment. Seriously I want to slap her.
