im 35 weeks pregnant and very uncomfortable, yesterday i wore my pyjamas all day since they are the most comfortable things i have....

my grandad came round, looked at me and said " whats that?, look at the state of you?" then urned to dp and said " its enough to put you off for life, is she trying to stop you getting her pregnant again"

urgh!

nasty all round. Is he usually such a charmer?

"Sorry Grandad, next time I'll try and look sexy for you"

Older people come out with all sorts of gems, don't they? My dad's similarly tact-impaired.

"Your no Van Gough yourself Grandad" would be the first thing out of my mouth.

How unpleasent i hope your DP stuck up for you.

Point out that post-partum you will only be wearing the pyjama bottoms due to engorged boobs, you may then not see him again for some time.

Its very wrong but so tactless its kind of funny - sorry it upset you.

He does sound a real treat though your Grandad

RespectTheDoughnut · 12/07/2010 13:04

Was it said a bit tongue-in-cheek, with a twinkle in his eye? I can't imagine he was really being critical? But of course it is impossible to BU when you're so pregnant, so don't worry about that

My grandad has completely lost any sense of tact in the last few years (or maybe he now just thinks he's old enough that he can get away with it ) - loudly points out fat people in the street, openly critical of other people's children being thick or rude, that kind of thing!

I'm laughing at what your grandad said tbh He sounds like a laugh! I was dressed in my pj's all day yesterday after a night out ,followed by vomiting and sleeping on sofa all night as too wobbly to walk up the stairs! I looked AWFUL and if anyone had said I looked that bad, i'd have agreed with them! I don't think grandad commented on yr bump did he? Maybe the pyjama 'LOOK' IYKWIM?

Bloody hell - I can't believe your Grandad even thinks of you in that way - it's horrible TBH.

I'm not 35 weeks pregnant and I've spent all day in my PJ's (shorts/t-shirt combo) cos I'm just going to do this then have a shower - I haven't got to then yet! The world is still turning and anyone that doesn't like it can feel free to fuck off
