to expect not to be 'moved on' while pg?

[usuallytooshytochat]

While pushing ds1 round block in desperate attempt to induce sleep, I sat down to rest on a wall. 2 mins later, a well-dressed man strolled up, half-smiling, and asked, 'can I help you?'
me 'no thanks'
him 'well I live here'
me - blank look
him ' so I was wondering who you are?'
me (finally getting the hint) 'would you like me to move?'
him 'yes please'

Is this normal?

(btw - I am 34 weeks pg)

YANBU at all. That's dreadful. I said this to DP and he said it's awful too, as he hates to see pregnant women struggle- so not all men are as insensitive as mr well dressed with his golden wall.

Poor you. Rest where you like, love, and if anyone wants to move you tell them if they can lift you from where you sit at THIRTY FOUR weeks pregnant, they can try and move you.

You need to head away from middle class men. Workmen know how to treat a pregnant woman, IME. Took some stuff to the tip while heavily p/g on a very hot day. Was boiling waiting in the car for dh. Got out to stretch and a lovely bloke who worked there shouted at another bloke 'bring the lady a chair, can't you see she's in a predicament'!

And they brought me a chair (from a skip) and dusted it ceremoniously with a hankie, bless them.

(Mind you, the baker on the market yelled at me 'it's not one of mine, is it?' )

Sounds very eastenders to me - bit of the old Ma Masood going on there.
My parents' house has a sittable-upon wall and lots of people have sat on it who we didn't know - it depended how long they sat there as to whether we asked them not to - 2 mins wouldn't have been enough for us even to notice, tbh. Therefore YANBU - he is overly-protective of his property but maybe he's been burgled or something - gah, think I'm just rambling now rather than making any kind of useful contribution!

I have a wall. A couple of teenagers came and sat on it. I ignored them. The next day there were 8 of them. 8!!! I moved them on. Perhaps he was worried you would multiply?

lol Quattro - she WILL multiply in a couple of months!!

he really might not have noticed. i have been talking to people before and not noticed for a good while they are pregnant purely because when i talk to people i don't look at their tummys.

i thought this thread was going to be about someone coming on to you!

Before I left work, alot of the people who worked on other departments didn't know I was pregnant. In fact, I saw one of them in the town i'm from not long ago and they asked me when was the baby due! Tom was in his buggy at the time!

If I was sitting on someone else's wall, of course I would have apologised and explained when asked what I was doing there!

I know it's not a big deal to sit on someone's wall, but my manners would have been put into action before I even started to consider whether the fact I was pregnant should entitle me to do what I want.

However, having explained, I would definitiely think someone was being a bit mean if they asked me to move on - maybe he was just pissed off that you didn't explain or apologise?

perhaps he just wanted a chat

i wouldnt sit on someone's wall but i don't mind my dcs walking on people's walls ...

do you think he thought you would break it

I thought by 'moved on'. He was trying to chat you up

If someone sat on out wall I'd have a nosey.
If it was pg woman, I'd ask if she was ok.

He should have just come out and said "I feel uncomfortable about you sitting on my wall, please move" Instead of all that: "Can I help you" and "Who are you" pussyfooting nonsense.

What a rude and petty little man. Hope his willy drops off.
