To have said to this dad at the school gate....

[mrsshears]

"well this isnt a football"!! when asked "have you not had that baby yet?"
I'm 39 weeks and looking at a 9 1/2 to 10 lb d'er and am huge,hot uncomfortable and grumpy!!
And could do without daft questions!!!

YANBU. I feel your pain.

YANBU.

Good for you mrsshears I can't imagine how miserable this weather must be for someone who's massively pregnant so YANBU at all to have given him short sharp shrift. What was his reply?

Oh, at least he acknowledged you, and men tend to try to be funny when they don't know what to say. Don't be surprised if he never tries to start a conversation with you again.

YANBU for being grumpy though

so NU. what sort of an idiot asks that question to someone who is very clearly still pregnant?

Errr, yes and no!

I guess he was just making what he thought to be a joke, albeit a bit clumsy.

However, he will never know what it's like to be hugely pregnant and horribly hot and tired, so I do understand.

Yanbu - imagine him making conversation and acknowledging you. What a cock!

lottapianos he laughed actually so i don't think he is offended, he certainly will be if he makes a habbit of it though

YANBU.

One of my fellow cub leaders asked me if I'd had the baby yet. I was 38 weeks with what turned out to be 9lb DS, and the size of a small planet, and he was deadly serious. I just looked at him in disbelief. His reasoning was that it can take a while for the stomach to return to normal!

Kill the bastard. Blame hormones.

The day after giving birth, in the maternity unit. A woman who worked there asked when I was due!

That is just man-speak for how much longer do you have to go?
