Asshole things family said over the holidays.... Just to make you feel warm and fuzzy.

My family is full of assholes. These are just a few of the dick headed things they said.
Grandma bought me an xxl bath food because "it will be nice at the hospital and even after, because you probably won't lose all that weight."
Husband's grandma "oh, how much have you gained? Forty? Is that healthy? I gained 50 with my oldest, but it was all water. It doesn't look like any of your weight is water"
Husband's uncle "when are you due? March 20th? Looks like if could be tomorrow"
And personal favorite.
Salvation army bell ringer. "you look like your ready to pop! Me: not until March 20th. Her: you sure there isn't a twin hiding in there?"
What is the worst thing someone said to you over the holidays?

No one could believe how big I was, (I'm 27 weeks) and everyone thinks it's a girl (we're team green) judging by the way I look. Which basically means they all buy into the "if you are huge and are showing all over and your face looks like dog shit, you must be having a girl" old wives tales.
So far, nothing crazy from strangers. Just smiles and "when are you due?"
1.) "oh, you can definitely tell you're pregnant with a girl"
2.) After overhearing me tell someone that my feet are swollen.."oh yeah, you look swollen everywhere"
3.) "are you tired? You look very tired"..no, I'm creating a human and working full time while chasing around a 4 year old..not tired at all.
And my grandmother likes to constantly say "I just can't believe how big you are!" Really? You can't believe I look like I'm 7 months pregnant? Grrrr
Then hearing my teeny tiny sis in law (who is 24 wks) tell her anorexic-looking friend "Guess how much I weigh? 117!!" Calm down dear. You're not a cow.
Thanks for the positivity and motivation, folks! *sarcasm font*
Me: 28 | SO: 28

I joked that my office is where the magic happens (since I approve and implement new software products) and he looked down at my tummy and said "from the looks of it, the magic could happen any minute!"
Thanks rando!
Me "unfortunately I just hit 20 pounds"
My MIL "I only gained 10 with Andy (my husband) and he was 8 pounds when he was born"
Awesome, thanks ya jerk!
We come from a big Italian family and I don't remember who said it bot I got "you don't look pregnant from behind, and that's because you aren't eating enough."
Before Christmas, I was shopping at Kohl's. I got a pain in my side, so I rubbed it a natural reaction. This old lady who was standing next to me said "You are spoiling that baby already and it should be taken away from you the moment it is born." I turned around and said "Excuse me?" Thinking maybe there was some mistake, and she stated I was coddling the baby and will be a horrible mother, and that's what's wrong with America today.
Then there was the 2¢ everyone put in because we don't have a name picked out yet.
And finally "I think you have a name picked out but you aren't telling anyone because you don't want to know yet."
Seriously we haven't picked out a name.
And my grandma has been making comments to everybody else in the family that she isnt sure I am old enough or ready to have a baby and I have no idea what I am getting in to... I am 28 years old and shes been complaining for about 5 years that I wasnt settling down with a husband and kids.
FIL: You know, just because you're pregnant doesn't mean you have to let yourself go.
Me: Fuck. You.
*Stunned silence*
I've never liked that asshole, and I'm tired of his put downs. 13 years is enough of his shit. And DH jumped all over him, too. Boo-yah!
Me: wow thanks.. (Insert death stare)
He tried to recover by saying that's a good thing. Yeahhhhh nice try buddy
Yesturday at a holiday get together I was eating a few mini powdered donuts when someone asked me if I'd had any weird cravings. I said just been craving a lot of baked goods. Then he said "clearly you are giving into those cravings!" *stares at my donuts*...
Me-"yes we have a few picked" (not keen on telling everyone just yet)
Person- "omg! Don't give your daughter a black name! That would be horrible."
Um excuse me? There are a million things wrong with what that whole statement. I couldn't even reply my jaw dropped to the floor.

Next time you see that person you should say we were thinking about naming the baby after you but we refuse to raise a bigot!

Someone suggested I name my son Gotham so that every time he cries in the middle of the night I can just say to DH "Gotham needs you". There's a meme of that floating around somewhere.
I almost punched her.
