Being referred to as 'the preggo'

Would anybody else think it is a little bit, just a smidge bit rude to be called a 'preggo'. I.e in Facebook posts, 'having dinner with xx and xx and the preggo'.

I do have a name.

These are the same people who no doubt say 'the hubby', and 'the boy' for their son.

My dsis has been calling me Pregasaurus. I don't mind, but I can see how it would be irritating for you.

I don't think it would bother me.

My neighbour referred to me as Fatty Grin

My DB took to calling his wife "Pregnantia" when she was pregnant. She is the loveliest person in the world but even she was a bit unimpressed.

Argh. People who describe themselves as 'preggo' make me want to gouge my eyes out. I'm guessing the ladies that are 'preggo' go on to have a 'lil man' or 'lil lady' . Equally criminal.

I refer to myself as Preggo but would NEVER call my child "lil man"

Anyway op it wouldn't really bother me I'd presume they were just being affectionate.

I feel you. It is very annoying that people seem to forget I'm a friend, sister, auntie, girl, HUMAN and not just an incubator. Jokes about whether or not I can see my feet or touch my toes or stupid questions like "do you feel like you're going to topple over" or "do you wake up and forget until you try and move and can't" are just a bit insensitive

Our cat went out on the razz for 3 nights. DH eyes my 4.5 months pregnant belly and says "you've eaten him, haven't you?"

Fecker! Grin

Ugh.

That is even worse than "Having dinner with this one", and the "this one" crap makes my soul hurt, so I feel for you.

Perhaps you should write something about going out to dinner with "Microman" or "Miniknob"
