Have seen endless moans threads over the years on MN from mums-to-be and new mums outraged over people's comments and questions.
Am I being unreasonable to remind them that people are just MAKING POLITE CONVERSATION?
There is really only a finite amount of things you can say about a newborn baby or a pregnancy and people are feigning interest half the time - they are NOT being rude or nosy when they say:
Ooh your bump is big/small
Ooh your baby is big/small
I think you are having a girl/boy
Do you want a girl/boy?
Are you going to breast feed?
When are you going to stop breast feeding?
When is he/she starting on solids?
What are you going to call him/her?
