I posted a post up on facebook earlier asking if anyone fancied a night out tonight because there is a good band on in my local pub. I have not had a night out since last October and i split up with my DP last month. I was thinking a nice night with friends would do me really good. My DD is away tonight staying at her aunties house. 3 of my 'friends' commented saying that I shouldn't be going out when I'm pregnant, that I should wait until I've had my baby so i can have a 'proper night out' and the other told me I shouldn't be going out anyway when I have a DD at home. Thus resulted in the three of them laughing to each other about my situation and arranging a night out between themselves which is obviously not going to include me. These 3 women only started drinking a few months ago. They used to go out to the pub and just drink juice, now they are telling me that I can't go out because I can't just drink juice all night and there is no way I can enjoy myself when I can't have a drink.

I'm so angry. I cried after reading the comments they really hurt. I've removed it from Facebook now incase anyone else joined in.

Am I being unreasonable? Do they have a valid point? Should I not be going out when I'm pregnant? Should mums not be allowed a night off? I work full time so it's not as If I'm using tax payers money to pay for my cans of coca cola in the pub so i dont understand why I should stay in every night by myself.

I'm so angry

They sound like idiots.

One day they may think back and cringe at their horrible rudeness. Delete them and block them.

Confused OP I'm 25, am 34 weeks pregnant and had a babysitter for my son last weekend so went out and had a great night drinking juice all night. My friends and family that were out on the night out too all said they were pleased to see me and were glad I managed to get out and enjoy myself. Those women are not your friends - definitely delete!

YANBU
Unfriendly them. Yucky ppl.

Pixieonthemoor · 10/04/2013 13:18

So even after you texted them to explain that they had hurt you, they didnt apologise and said you were 'stupid' for getting yourself into your situation?? Shock. They sound vile - really bitchy and selfish. I am so sorry that you had to discover how foul they are but thank goodness you can ditch them and move on. You sound fab, btw, and if you don't already, I am sure you will soon have tons of lovely and worthwhile friends.

Wannabestepfordwife · 10/04/2013 13:28

Op they are not acting like friends and I'm another one saying delete!

I'm the same age as you and sometimes I do find it hard to relate to my friends of the same age who don't have children.

Are there any groups for expectant mums in your area so you can meet people in same position and you could have a group of friends for when baby arrives.

Btw I went to beer garden at 39 weeks(only drinking j20) so dp could have his last pre dc summer drinking session

Crinkle77 · 10/04/2013 15:59

YANBU they sound like a gang of bitches and I would not bother with theem anymore. Why should you stay in cos you're pregnant and have another child at home?

SarahAndFuck · 10/04/2013 16:03

What turned them from juice drinkers with a watershed to rabid alcohol pushers with tight judgy pants?

LoveWine · 10/04/2013 16:37

These "friends" are complete bitches. I would delete them and not bother. Definitely have a night out, but select proper friends to join you.

Enjoy!

JamieandtheMagicTorch · 10/04/2013 16:47

You poor thing. They are, as everyone has said, extremely immature.

DeepRedBetty · 10/04/2013 16:56

I'm mystified how they came to be 'friends' of yours in the first place paris!

GeekLove · 10/04/2013 18:18

They send like a bunch of arses. Go out and have a stunning time! I went to Sonisphere and InFest while pregnant. If you HAVE to drink its probably not a good night!

Pixel · 10/04/2013 18:47

Blimey, I was sitting on a bar stool a few hours before my waters broke. Or trying to, but for some reason my back was hurting and I couldn't get comfy...
I had a perfectly nice evening visiting friends (it was their pub) without the need to drink alcohol, though it could have been the gallon or so of orange juice that set me off Grin.
Luckily most sensible, mature, non-bitchy people realise that women don't need to become hermits just because they are pregnant!

Uppermid · 11/04/2013 20:07

Leave the bitches!

fatlotofgood · 11/04/2013 20:54

They aren't worth worry your head over. Ditch them.
