This forum is hilarious! Thanks for the laughs
I've had a few annoying comments too.
The worst was from a colleague at uni, she asked me how it felt when the baby kicked, and I told her that it was like a little thumping, and that I was very happy to feel it and it was reassuring. She then proceeded to tell me how she totally hates the idea of being pregnant and that to her the idea is like, and I quote
"a parasite growing inside you and then crawling out of you"
I just gave her a patronizing pat on her arm, and told her that if people like you feel like that then I can understand why some people don't want to have children.
I wish I had been ruder though. Thinking about her comment now makes me so angry. I have been quite cold with her since!!
Other comments are:
Do you want to keep it? (from both my parents when I first told them)
My mum tutting and saying "oh dear" when she sees i've been eating chocolate or biscuits. Like i should be worried about getting fat! I'm 24 and a size 8/10!
Another particularly annoying one which my architectural tutor keeps saying at uni (i'm studying for my last year of BA architecture: "You know, Richard Rogers told his wife the day after she gave birth, come one love lets get back to the drawings".
Thanks for that, but don't be expecting that kind of stupid behaviour from me, i'll be recovering in bed thank you very much!
Then there are people who ask how I am:
Me: I'm ok, very tired though
Them: aww yeah.... me too i'm knackered!
oh really!
And of course the usual: try and gt as much work done as possible now, cos your not gonna have the motivation to do it when the baby is actually here.
I don't have the motivation now!!!!! Leave me alone!
Phew! Rant over
