to be upset that my FIL called my 37 w pregnant belly disgusting?

[Breizhette]

I feel more humiliated really. We were on Skype on the webcam as they don't live in the same country. My DH and DD were facing the camera talking to PIL. FIL asked about his grandchild to be, so I lifted my top and showed my belly on the screen. FIL said "Put that away, it's disgusting".
I know there's a generation thing, and my DH tells me that it really doesn't matter. But it keeps coming back in my head. Maybe it's just the hormones...

[mrsruffallo]

Didn't you ever notice it's the same shape as the earth????
You are all so disconnected

[brightongirldownunder]

Nothing wrong with a tipple at work.
Mine wasn't earth shaped - more mekon

I would have been upset at that response too, but there'd only be a snowflake's chance in hell of me ever showing my FIL my pregnant belly.

I loved having a pregnany belly, but nobody other than myself and DH got to see or touch it - why would they want to?

[brightongirldownunder]

Most of my teachers were pissed.
Thats why I spend most of my lessons drawing pictures of willies.

[mrsruffallo]

Lol, brighton
Mine would reek after lunch

[Walnutshell]

my dh would not have let a comment like that from my fil slip away unnoticed.
agree ruff's comments.

Would you flash your non pregnant belly at him?

[minster]

p.s. I agree he was very rude, but it probably was shock (add me to the ewwww group of belly coverers).

[brightongirldownunder]

But "disgusting". Surely even someone in shock wouldn't say that..
Why would you flash a non pregnant belly? I remember when I was pregnant and still in the UK and DH was working in sydney, I'd i-chat him and stand infront of the camera to show him how much bigger I'd got. He was fascinated.
I'm not saying I looked beautiful, but ,really, what OP's fil said was totally out of order.

[edamdepompadour]

But that was your dh, not your FIL, and presumably dh wanted to see your tummy.

We don't routinely display our naked bellies, except for sunbathing, so it is an odd thing to do that will provoke a strong reaction in most people. And FIL's reaction was probably to do with shock.

[Walnutshell]

my fil has seen me in a bikini. I don't know how he carries on living

[brightongirldownunder]

Blimey - bikini? I wouldn't dare at the moment.
I'm not sure if I'd show fil my preg tum as he's an old fart but I think the whole of this thread is based on his stupid reaction

[Walnutshell]

you wouldn't dare what? wear a bikini generally or just in front of your fil? what if you went on holiday together?!

[brightongirldownunder]

Why would I go in hols with dreaded fil? Now that IS disgusting....
He's the biggest shit stirrer around!
I wouldn't dare wear a bikini until I've dissolved these baby handles.

[brightongirldownunder]

Walnut love your photo btw

[Walnutshell]

thanks, yes, I am very beautiful, hence the bikini wearing!

ok, take your point, you're not too keen on your fil!

[brightongirldownunder]

Oh I could start a thread on him if I could be bothered, but I can't!

[HollyandNoah]

I hated my pil when i was pregnant! my mil told me i was too fat when i was 5 month, and that was just the first! Especially when people were around, like aunts and uncles she would puff her cheeks out and say 'you're looking a bit makes puffy cheek face' aww it realllllly annoyed me! So no, i totally feel for youx

[AnyFuleKno]

cod, you should run some self esteem seminars
