re: People Staring At Your Bump?

<blockquote><b>Quoting Mara:</b>" because my alien child kept busting out of my belly, i understood why people stared. i was usually ... [snip!] ... in my uterus and then stitching it up. the worst part was that i was pregnant fo 36 months... never let an alien probe you!"</blockquote>




*snickers*

Yes I have and yes it is VERY rude! The worst experiences I have were when a lady said to me when I told her I was having a boy was, "Oh it's good you're getting that one over with first". She then stated that she only had girls and that girls were best. I was pissed! I told her that a boy was what I really wanted so I felt blessed that God answered my prayers. Some people are unbelievable! I also had someone tell me that my face was getting fat after I mentioned to them that cherry pie was my favorite kind of pie. I was so mad! I wanted to tell them that my face was no way near as fat as their a$$ but of course I refrained. I just told her that my diet was very healthy and I had not one piece of pie since I had been pregnant. After that, I filed a complaint about her rude behavior. Those are probably the worst things people have said to me so far. The stares at my belly are more like shocked glances. It is awkward though. People are weird.

I hid my pregnancy because of that. Now since I have a 14 month old, I can't. I always get the stares and the whispers., but it's mainly because I look under 15. I let them talk. I really don't care too much unless they say it to my face. I live in a community with a lot of vacationers that think they're entitled to everything and think they're better than any one who actually lives here year round. Ironically, a mom said I can't possibly know how to take care of my child. We were at the beach, they had a 15 month old boy (Their daughter was fishing right next to SO so they were talking.) The mom who said that ended up feeding the 15 month old chips and soda for lunch while LO had whole grain wheat grilled cheese and strawberries with whole milk  

Needless to say, ignore it and just prove them wrong.
