I yelled at my dad last night

We had dinner for my brother's birthday.  They asked how I'm doing, and I was honest (read: bitchy).  I told them I'm begging my OB today to find some medical reason for me to leave work early.  My dad gets this twinkle in his eye that he thinks means that he's being cute, but it really means he's going to say something borderline insulting.

He says "You know, millions of women work all the way through." 
I kinda got all pissed off at him.  "I don't CARE what other women do.  That's nice for them and all, but I'm miserable."  
Him "I'm sure they were miserable too."
Me "You know what, Dad?  No uterus, no opinion."

That's the summary, though. I remember at one point saying screw you.  He was offended, but screw him.  He can't learn to have some tact, I'll beat it into him not to make comments that he has no realistic frame of reference for.

    LOL....trust me I'm in the same boat. I worked until the end last time and was miserable those last couple of days.  I'm having to work until the end again but that doesn't mean I like it.

    *ahem* Rease?  This was MY father... not my BABY's father.  I haven't had contact with my father's sperm since I was conceived :P

    Lol. At least you stuck up for yourself. I don't know why people can't get it through their skulls that every pregnancy is different and no, we don't want to hear your opinions on any matter.
