Ok so we all those family members who just have to say something stupid when we all get together. Let's hear them? Three of my family members would not stop talking about how huge I am. They kept touching my belly and saying it has to be twins and your having this baby today!! Um no I'm not due for another month thank you. Had I not focused on the pumpkin cheesecake I would have snapped.
My FIL asked me today "have they narrowed it down at all?" I asked him what he meant and he said " when is the baby coming?'
*blank stare*
"My EDD is Dec 27, the same as it has been for the last 9 months"
"Well do you know what time of day exactly you will be having her?"
I WISH FIL. I mean, how much more can you really "narrow down" a due date if it's not a scheduled induction/ c section? It was a really weird conversation and I am still confused by it. I mean, DH was an emergency c section at 32 weeks due to pre-e 26 years ago. FIL should know that anything can happen. DH has weird parents.
My dad told me I was looking very "round" today and that I looked like a baby Orca. Yes, naming a specific whale and saying baby makes it better asshat!

At least baby orcas are cute? Sorry though, I am sure you don't look like any kind of whale.

DH's nickname for me during this pregnancy is "whale," but it doesn't bother me at all yet, and he knows where the line is at which point it would bother me (weight gain-related). But if any one else were to make the mistake of comparing me to a large animal, you bet I'd be angry!
Sorry your dad didn't think before speaking!

My inlaws asked me last night when baby is due. I reminded them Dec 19 but I could go anytime. They sooooo already know this and have committed to watching DS when labour happens. So FIL says to MIL "see, I told you we could have taken that vacation" What. The. F??
"You're naming her Carys? Shouldn't that be spelled with an i instead of a y? You know everyone is going to get that wrong."
STFU. We're spelling the name properly. I'm not going to misspell the name to make it easier for you to understand. Yes, I'm aware people will mispronounce it frequently. Get over it.
My stepdads family is awesome and didn't say anything offensive today. my mother however; doesn't understand why I'm so tired and doesn't understand why I can't sleep at night. She could sleep, she had tons of energy! Ermagerd!! Ma STFU
@KELLILOVESJOSH ugh my mom too! She had tons of energy and felt great! She also only gained 20lbs with each baby and only labored for about an hour. Lucky her!

My MIL is the same. I am convinced she was never pregnant, and DH was raised by wolves. She always gets so confused when I tell her I'm tired. I'm 9 months preg, of course I'm tired. OH AND I HAVE A 2 YEAR OLD.

My grandma saw me struggling to get out of a really deep cushy chair and asked if I felt like a beached whale.
DHs grandma..so how much weight have you gained?? Umm I'm not really worrying about the weight gain as long as my doctor isn't...oh, but how much?? Ya, I'm still not really keeping track, sorry. Wtf DHs grandma!!! Mine would have NEVER asked me that at the dinner table or at all! None of your damn business (even though I do know) so rude and I don't care old you are, that's rude to ask! Ughhhhh! Ugh, ugh!

I have a 2yo too and a 7yo I was 10 when mom was pregnant with my brother. I recall lots of couch time. I think her memory is a little off haha
My mother is the only one who has been saying weird things. She asks me every day how I'm feeling. I've been feeling good and this is a much easier pregnancy on my body then my first one was (I gained a lot less weight) so I tell her " I'm feeling good!" She looks at me and says "well usually your back should hurt and you shouldn't be comfortable" Duh mother, obviously my back hurts but it's no reason to complain. She also told me not to pick up my 2 year old because something can happen? I love her but she really doesn't remember being pregnant

My dad poked my back fat roll that has made an appearance right near my bra line..., three times. No comment, just poked it....as soon as he got to my house. And my mom couldn't figure out what made me so stabby.
It wasn't a family member but I did have a random lady ask me when I had my last "girly" cause she could figure out my due date for me like I might not have realized I was pregnant or have no idea when I was due!
My mom says im being dramatic for telling her if Ruby comes late after her due date of 12-16 i might not be up to christmas around two families and kids under the age if 4 with me just having a baby and breast feeding.
"Noones going to get the baby sick melissa dont be ridiculous"

Eta my nephews are sick every week
I think that's totally rational. We decided to skip traveling to DH's family this year because it would be too much, too close to edd and because every year someone is sick (typically DH's little cousins). MIL said it was ridiculous for not going based on people being sick. Well guess what both DH's little cousins are sick and my FIL. MIL better realize when she gets back she's not coming to see us until a week grace period has gone by (she gets sick every year after Thanksgiving as does everyone else).
