I’ve been wearing a coat/big sweatshirt when my mom comes around just so she won’t touch my belly. I loathe anyone touching it other than my H and kids. Today she still did and I cringed. Not sure what the big deal is, I just don’t like it I guess.
@chasingroygbiv omg SAME! MIL kept insisting on touching my belly last time around. When I finally had the guts to tell her no (instead of asking DH to keep reminding her) she'd rub her belly against mine every time we hugged goodbye. Like would not let me side hug her. I gave in and went with it bc her husband was basically in the hospital bed dying during the last 6 weeks of my pregnancy with DD but uuuuugggggggghhhhh. This time, I'm *not* having it. I *will* have the guts to tell her no myself the first time, and not come around if she's going to be that way. I honestly can't stand anyone touching my belly. Like why is it ok for you to touch my uterus now that we know something is in it? You don't touch my boobs once you know they're making milk... I know you said you aren't sure why you don't like anyone touching yours...tbh it took me until last week to figure out part of why I don't like folks touching my belly. *TW* assault - In college, I was at some slimey sleezy bar and got "Trump grabbed" by some random dude who was just walking by. I won't say it left me with any emotional scars, but that is the only other time I've ever been touched in a full frontal position against my will. The feeling it gave me in the pit of my stomach is the same feeling I get when *anyone* touches my belly. I mean it doesn't bug me when DH touches the belly, but he's still considerate enough to ask first. Why can't his mom? *End rant* You deserve a cookie if you actually read this whole thing.
As for my UO...I'm a big Yellowstone (tv show) fan. I know Casey is supposed to be the character fighting to do what's right, but I don't like him.
A woman on my Facebook always calls her daughter “baby girl.” “Baby girl is so spoiled by her daddy, baby girl got her own flower, baby girl doesn’t like photos, baby girl, baby girl, baby girl” it drives me crazy for whatever reason I don’t know!! she has two boys so I imagine she loves having a girl, but it irks me!!!
@chasingroygbiv When I was pregnant with my twins one of my nurses would always kiss my belly and say hello to the babies every time she saw me. It kind of creeped me out but I think it was cultural for her so I let it slide. Seriously, it's like people lose all boundaries around pregnant women.

@robinj716 that would annoy me too if it was constant. It’s like when people call their son nothing else but “little man/guy” that drives me bonkers. Once in a while makes sense but the kid has a name or you can just say “my son”.. idk lol some people (like my moms ex husband) just overuse it so much!!
Re: FFFC 2/14
I think a lot of times people are choosing to be ignorant and I'm so over it.
And I'm not bashing people with a low IQ so please don't think that I am.
