We are all a little weird and life's a little weird, and when we find someone whose weirdness is compatible with ours we join up with them and fall in mutual weirdness and call it love
You are a nicer person then I am because whenever anyone says anything about the weight I've gained this pregnancy I've gotten very snarky with them. I've on more then one occasion said "I'm not fat I'm pregnant. There's a difference but thanks though." I HATE that pregnancy makes people feel entitled to comment about your weight.

wow! 10 kids? sounds like a fun and noisy way to grow up!
My parents separated, remarried people with kids, and had kids with their new spouses. Counting me there's 11 (plus 2 SILs). I only grew up as 1 of 4 though which was still fun and noisy.

same as my family! My parents had 2 then divoreced. My mom remarried a man who had 3, then they had 2 together. My dad remarried a woman who had 3 kids from a previous marriage. I grew up as the oldest of four though because my mom had custody.

How weird! I was also the oldest of the 4 I grew up with and mom had custody.

One of the days my DH was off from work, we decided to go pay some bills and do some baby shopping. I went to pay my hospital bill (where I used to work) and one of the girls there told me I looked like my face filled out some. Blow #1 Then we went to pay another bill, and the girl there said that I looked like I must be near the end because once the weight starts showing on your face you must be close. First of all I didn't know this girl from the man in the moon. Secondly she had the nerve after saying that to finally ask how long I had left. When I told her I had about 8 weeks left she kept talking about me and my weight. Blow #2. After that I told DH, if one more person says I'm fat again today I will blow up on them. I'm tired of people saying I'm fat!!!! We went shopping and when we got back to town we met up with my mom and sister. Low and behold both of them commented on how huge I looked and said I need to watch what I eat. Blow #3. After that I went home and went straight to bed.
Yeah, there is definitely a difference between "an excuse to have THAT pooch" (the one you've always had) vs. "an excuse to have A pooch" (the one that you've recently grown and can now feel proud of).
As I repeatedly say...people are stupid.
ETA: Yesterday the woman working the register in the cafeteria asked me if I was nearing the end and ready to go out on leave...yeah, no. She didn't mean anything harmful by it, and I know that, but still...it's just one more reminder that yes, I am huge, thanks.

Totally agree! What is wrong with people?? Just because we're pregnant, doesn't mean you have free range to comment on my weight. Argh! People are so ridiculous and rude.

I used to try to laugh and say something silly but lately I've stopped being nice. Depending on whether or not I know them I'll either tell them I'd prefer for them not to comment on my weight, TYVM, or I'll tell them it's not their f@cking place to talk about my weight so go to hell.
