What Not to Say to Someone "With Child"

After listening to people make comments, I've decided to make a blog about the things you just don't say to someone whose expecting. I really think they should teach a class on this stuff. And thank God my momma raised me to always say to myself "Kayla, if you don't have nothing nice to say, don't say anything at all." Sometimes, that works. But other times, it is very hard not to come back with a smart comment. And I admit, I have. Sorry, mom!

"What Not to Say to Someone With Child"

Some of these may not be pregnancy related, but it's just enough to hit the wrong nerve that sparks an attitude that's about to explode in your face :)

And...some of these are just plain out "omg I can't believe someone said that to you!"

Make sure you read to the end. I saved the best for last. Complimentary of my husband, who means well. He really does....

*** "Do you really think you should be eating that?"

(Yes, as a matter of fact, I do. So, piss off. Thank you!)

*** "How much weight have you gained?"

(Well let's see, a couple pounds past none of your business!)

*** "You shouldn't poke your belly, your baby will come out with a cone head."

(I'm sorry I thought all babies came out with a cone shaped head because they had to squeeze through a BIRTH CANAL!)

*** "You're getting chubby."

(Thank you for noticing. It's called a baby.)

*** "I remember when my cat had kittens, it was such a beautiful thing."

(Yeah, I'm pretty sure there's going to be a huge difference between your kittens, and my baby. Just saying!)

*** "I knew a girl one time who gave birth at home and the baby died. She was about as far a long as you."

(Really? Do I even need to comment on this?)

*** "Labor is the most painful thing. You are going to hate it."

(Thank you captain obvious.)

*** "You're a lot better looking then the girl that was here last year. How long have you been here?" (5 years I replied) "Oh, it must have been you then."

(They say when you're pregnant you have a "glow." I'm sure that's all it is. That has to be all it is....)

*** "I thought maybe you were pregnant but then I thought maybe you were just getting fat."

(Pregnant? Who's pregnant?)

*** "You look like you need to go on a diet."

(Well, so do you. Maybe we can work out together? Say in about 3 months...?)

*** "Wow your cranky, you're really going to be a witch when your down to your last month."

(Thanks for the honesty, jackass. But, let me tell you a little bit about my sleepless uncomfortable night, and my constipated, bloated, heartburn, backache, tired day. Trust me, once I'm finished you'll understand why sometimes I get a little cranky.)

And my favorite... as my husband helps me out of the recliner and follows me back the hallway...

*** "You should do some squats." (imagine the look I shot him!)

 He then said I didn't let him finish and he meant to say I should do some squats to build my leg muscles up so getting up out of a chair is easier for me.

Nice save honey....nice save. (I know he didn't really mean anything by it. Like I said, he means well. Just sometimes it doesn't come out that way!)
