Sick of ‘advice’

Anyone else found that since they were pregnant all anyone wants to tell you is how hard life will be with a baby? I’m getting so sick of people telling me to ‘sleep whilst you can’, ‘enjoy your husband whilst you can’, ‘have fun while you can’. My husband and I haven’t started a family on a whim, we’re are fully expecting it to be the biggest challenge of our life and incredibly hard and tiring, why can’t people be more supportive and tell us about the nice parts, or at least follow up how hard it will be with a comment like ‘if you ever need anything, please ask’. Feeling very hormonal today, if you couldn’t tell haha, but honestly I’m gonna snap at the next person who says something negative to me. Anyone else finding the same?? Sorry needed a little rant!!!

Yep totally hear you OP, i had my 1st baby 4 months ago and absolutely did my head in. Someone even told me I would only want to wear leggings by 9 months, how the f**k do you know what I'll want to wear! You know what as well most of the shit everyone said to me was total rubbish, every pregnancy/labour/birth/baby/way parents cope is totally different

Yes it's infuriating and even worse when you have the baby and all you hear is what you are.doing wrong and how you should do it, including from people who have never had children. So bloody annoying.
