I'm 8 months pregnant and have two children aged 2 & 5 so yes I am tired but I am getting so pissed off with people constantly telling me how pale and how very tired I look, no need to rub it in!!! they should see me with no make-up I keep telling them! I am also getting annoyed with people say 'wooah, you're massive!' I'm still in my size 10 (maternity) jeans ffs!!! Okaaay maybe I'm hormonal but I do thinks its kind of rude...

Hi
I think u r hormonal!! Ppl say these things for want of anything else to say! And maybe the tired pale thing is genuine concern!

Say "Yes! Please rub my back and feet for me?" or dump the DC's on them and run off.

Defo relatilate with a 'now you mention it, you're looking a little lucklustre too, must be something in the air'.

hmm, the 'whao you're massive!' is rude or thoughtless at best.
The pale and tired could be genuine concern, they might think they are helping. Are you pale and tired, btw? Maybe you need iron.

YANBU, it's really annoying. I am 9 months and one of my friends said how puffy my face looked the other day. I said "does it? well, I am a bit tired", and she said "oh, maybe it's just your eyes that are all puffy then". Thanks, love you too! Mind you, I also get people saying how well I look, and to be honest I don't believe them. So they can't win.

You look wide awake, tanned and tiny.

Better?
