To think this comment was stupid

[abeanbaked]

I tried a new hairdresser yesterday, first time ever speaking to this man and I dropped into conversation that I had a baby not so long ago when speaking about the condition of my mop. There was another girl in the salon and she sort of grimaced and said that it must've been so painful and if she ever does it it will have to be a c section. I told them I did have a c section and yes, it was still bloody painful. The hairdresser then said 'oh too posh to push, love it!' I was a bit shocked and told them that I wanted to push but I had a big APH and it was an emergency, that a surgeon cutting you open and pulling a child from your abdomen isn't easy, either. I wasn't rude and I didn't think about how stupid that remark was until I left. Through out the visit he came across as one of these people who you would take everything with a pinch of salt from and he just likes an audience to shock. AIBU to this this was a really shitty thing to say?

Hairdressers always talk nonsense.

How was your hair cut?

You will get so many more of those comments in your life. Prepare mentally.
I just either let it slide and shrug it off. Or have a witty come back.

Its a hairdresser. Who cares. Rise above. Really! Having a emergency c section is not the same as being too posh to push. But neither is opting for an elective c section let's be honest :p

Ive said it many times but i agree with you

Inappropriate from someone youve just met or more specifically knows you very well and knows exactly how you’d take it

Sounds like a typical mindless chatty flamboyant thing a hairdresser would say, especially a man with no insight into these things. He would have no idea about the stigma, he was just making a quippy comment. And yes it's annoying and insensitive but I guarantee that's not how he meant it.

He was an ignorant twat, just wanted to show off by using the phrase. When he grows a womb and a child therein, he can comment accordingly 😠

Wouldn't be going back there if it was me.

He's an ignorant idiot. Don't spend your money there again

I agree it is rude. Probably not as rude as the woman that I know who has had a caesarean and continually commented that I must have ruined my vagina I don't understand why people feel the need to comment on how anyone else gives birth.
