Weird (and annoying) Comments

My MIL called yesterday to say that she forgot to tell me I looked healthy last weekend during their visit. Who calls to say they forgot to mention how "healthy you look"!

The only time she has ever mentioned me having a glow is when I've been slightly overweight. I'm a thin person (not anorexic at all) but that doesn't mean I'm sick!

Sheesh... What weird comments have you got?

    Ugh people say the weirdest stuff when you're pregnant.
    I've gotten "yeah I figured you were pregnant cause your boobs blew up overnight"
    Or "was it planned?" "Well when are you getting married?"
    Or, of course the comments that point towards people thinking your life is completely over once the baby comes. Like "enjoy your sleep now while you can," and "well looks like no fun for you for the next 18 years...."

    STFU.

    Oh my word... With my first I had a patient comment "I see you're pregnant. Why would you bring a child into this terrible world?"... Um thanks! Can I give you your meds? lol!

    My MIL would probably email me to say something just like this. We haven't told her yet, but I'm sure it's coming.

    I wish I could pop back into shape after a baby, all of the very stick figure skinny girls I know pretty much go right back to their normal shape! It's just not fair....

    I get the "are you going to keep going until it's a girl?" Um ya NO. I just tell people upfront when we talk about having a fourth that no matter what the sex it will be our last :)

    my neighbor (father of triplets) said today, "I hear you are having a child. I can't believe it. You and Marc were our heros. No kids, good jobs, travel all the time, interesting people, wonderful life. So lucky. Now you have a child coming. I can't believe it." 

    It was like we crushed his fantasy of our existence.

    This isn't weird so much as rude, but I saw my mother in law Sunday for the first time in a little over a month. Her first words to me: "ooh! You're getting a little fat!" I told her I'm not fat, I'm pregnant. Her response "I know, but the baby makes you look fat." WTF. who even says that?! I should be used to it, pretty much everything that comes out of her mouth is degrading.

    I got the comment yesterday " you must be having a boy" I asked why and she points to her backside! Seriously people are insane we are choosing not to find out the sex this time around so hoping people learn to keep comments to themselves.

    My cousin has a 9 month old and didn't lose her baby weight. She's always struggled with her weight and I'm only 5 feet tall and petite. I saw her the other day and she said "you finally look like you're getting a belly so I won't be the only fat one" I'm pregnant not fat!

    How far along are you? (I'm 4 months)  That far?  You only look about 15 minutes pregnant! 

    Wtf?

    I've gotten lots from the MIL- the best was when we went to visit her on Mother's Day. The minute I stepped foot in her house she started rubbing my belly (I was barely showing, more bloat than anything) then she reaches around me and starts rubbing my butt! I asked what she was doing and she says "just seeing if your ass has grown any....it has a bit". She loves to comment on my body for some reason?!

    My Mil told me that I don't care about my baby because I won't give up my cats and she only wants me to give them up because of superstition that my cats will steal my babies breathe

    My husband and I are getting this too. We've had several people say "but you were our favorite DINKs!" Hmm well...thanks? Sorry to ruin this for you?

    When people ask "how are you feeling?" No matter what my answer- "oh, really great!" Or "oh, really tired and sick" they always say, "well it's about to get worse. Enjoy this while you can". I'm like, worse for you if I have to listen to this stupid response for 6 more months and my hormones finally take over and I punch you in the face. Why ask in the first place? Sorry, rant over :)

    I have a two year old and I was babysitting my friends 16 month old today. I decided to be adventurous and take the boys to target. I was getting them both in the carriage while they squirmed and giggled and a guy said "wow you got yourself some helpers today... Oh and adding another one I see" and kind of chuckled and walked away. Who cares how many damn kids I have?! Wtf does it matter to you? And I always get looks from people because I look young, have blue hair and tattoos. Like that makes me less of a mother.
