Throat-punch Worthy Comment

Mikesfan · August 2014

What was your most Throat-Punch worthy comment of the week??

Mine:

"I don't know why you are so tired...I was running around like crazy at your age, pregnant. But then again, you do weigh about double what I did."- My lovely mother

:-@

:-O I complained I was tired to my husband and he said he worked extra hours this week and I should suck it up. Excuse me but carrying your child can be exhausting! /:)

I had dinner last night with a friend of mine who is 33 weeks pregnant. The hostess at the restaurant eyed our bellies and then looked up at us and said, "Oh, I guess you'll want to be seated close to the bathroom?"

Um, what??

CandEChicago · August 2014

These are just great!

Mine - It wasn't a comment but I was out at a bar for my former roommate's going away party last night. I was sitting down at the time and she sat next to me and asked if she could touch my belly. Sure... why not. She touched the belly and then proceeded to put her head on my belly for about a minute (maybe to listen to it?)... awkward.

Basically anything that comes out of mother-in-laws mouth.

We had a small meeting this week and in front of everyone my boss said "Wow, you're looking very pregnant today." Awesome. Thanks I think? This one guy I can't stand started giggling and I had to hold back the throat punch!

My FIL: "That is going to be one big baby."

He said that because he didn't think I would be showing yet. I'm 19 weeks and literally just started really showing this week.

aeseager · August 2014

My husbands grandmother painted these and said they are "for the baby's room." Well they do not match the nursery decor but maybe the playroom

This was Sunday, at my choir concert. MIL - "Wow, I didn't realize how HUGE you were until I saw you standing up on stage next to all those smaller ladies."

My dad's gf told me that even my butt is getting big. Thanks twatwaffle.

"Big Pharma is going to force the new Ebola vaccine onto our precious American babies! *tears*"

Nope, not over it yet.

emilyrmaila · August 2014

My MIL told us when I was 8 weeks that we didn't need to go to the emergency room when I was having bleeding because "the emergency room is full of sick people and the ER doctors never know what they're doing and are always wrong......" turned out thank god I went bc I have 2 strains if bacterial vaginosis and they said if it hadn't come they are 90% sure I would have miscarried...... Needless to say I'm 21 wks 5 days so that didn't happen obvi but was astonished she thought I should just let it go

I made this for the nursery. DH asked if it was supposed to be off center (it is) and said I should move it down and to the right. My mom asked if it was fish.

So she assumed your legs were broken as a side effect of pregnancy?! People. are. DUMB.

I guess I might have been walking a bit slowly browsing at the grocery store. A guy came up behind me and made a fart noise. When I turned around with a "what the hell" look on my face, he rolled his eyes at me.

What the... who DOES that?

WTF?!

I LOVE THIS!!! I am not very crafty myself and would literally pay for something this cute! How did you make it?

Just needed to say that this is beautiful! I want one.

Edit: I just noticed your nails are also adorable in this picture.

Ha. This would not have bothered me at all, because I do use the restroom at least three times during a meal.

@gradschoolmom1234‌ @krystrist2014‌ @ColeyCannoli‌ thanks gals!! Made this one too. Just canvas, paint and scrapbook paper, y'all!

kboyet · August 2014

MIL: you still have a cute shape from behind.

Uh thanks.

GradSchoolPrincess · August 2014

My BIL emailed me a link to an article titled "10 most disgusting/horrifying things about pregnancy."
I deleted and moved on. Thanks for the support jackass.

Coworker today "you look like your due any day now" wtf

BayCamp · August 2014

After telling my friend it was getting difficult to see to shave my bikini line she replies with "do you even have a bikini line once you have kids?" No idiot, moms are stuck in swim skirts and shorts forever unless we want to look like we're smuggling a chia pet in there!

brittandjp · August 2014

I don't have any, but seriously?? What the fuck is wrong with people??

Dfarmer1019 · August 2014

My sister, whom has two children of her own and had severe depression with both kids, saw me today and said, "Hey fatty." And continued to call me fatty and holy boobs the duration of the visit. Mind you, I am a FTM and have only gained 8 pounds. I am 21 weeks. That's really not what I want to hear when I have raging hormones.

VyD81 · August 2014

One of our relative that I took my mom to visit when we were in FL said "you're having a girl! Well, that's a good replacement for the boy you lost".

WTF, she's not a replacement, and if I can do anything to bring my son back, I would.

Holy shit, that takes the cake. I assume you went ahead with a throat punch?!?

Huh? Would you please elaborate? Is there actually an Ebola vaccine?

I posted another thread about it. Some extreme level crunchie moms (sounds like a cereal) I was hanging out with got upset that NIH is trying to develop a vaccine for Ebola. They are selfish nutjobs that think Big Pharma is out to get them personally and will use it to force vaccines on their families. I flipped out on them this morning over it and told them I was never coming back.

That is so fucked up and incredible insensitive. What the hell is wrong with people?!?

I've wanted to throat-punch my MIL for the past couple of weeks. I don't why but everything about her has been pissing me off lately.

VyD81 · August 2014

Thanks ladies.

Out of the respect for my mom, it took a lot for me to hold back from punching her. I did not talk to her the entire time we were there and didn't say goodbye. Good thing she's a distant relative and I don't have to ever see her again.

I admire your way of handling this. I have never personally had a loss but I cannot imagine what would posess a person to make a comment like that. You cannot replace a lost child. Im so sorry you had to hear this.

Oh my gosh that is the most horrendous and insensitive thing I have ever heard!

@VyD81‌ I cannot believe someone would actually think that was an appropriate comment to make!

DH and I were at dinner with a buddy of his and the manager there was also pregnant. Well DH mentioned we're having twins and her first question was "are they natural?!" Because you know our reproductive history is totally her business. I told DH to stop rubbing my belly in public (that's how she knew I was pregnant in the first place).

Good grief, I've had past coworkers ask people that. Makes ya think "do you ask every pregnant woman if they were artificially inseminated for their children ?" WHO CARES?!

No kidding! And it made me wonder if our response made a difference, like if one way was better than the other to her.
