Since when is it OK... (vent in progress)

...to ask a total stranger if she is carrying TWINS?

TWO, YES TWO people asked me yestereday if I was carrying twins.

NO, I AM 38 WEEKS PREGNANT AND STILL TRAVELING WELL OVER AN HOUR TO GET TO WORK. DON'T MESS WITH ME.

I know I'm huge, but it is not right to ask someone if they are carrying twins. All I can say is I loved seeing their faces when I said NO. Chat Icon Even if I was carrying twins, it's nobody's business.Chat Icon

I think our new response to questions like that should be "you know what buddy, why don't you go f#@* yourself." Because honestly, that's how I feel when people make their stupid comments and since they're not holding anything in, why the heck should we?!

I seriously think we all need to through our manners out the window. People have no problem making these inappropriate statements to us and I don't think we should reply nicely or clamly. I think we should all just start cursing people out and see how they like it. Chat Icon

Next time someone asks that you should say

"Oh, I have no idea, I haven't seen a doctor yet."

or

"What's a twin?"

Re: Since when is it OK... (vent in progress)

I just posted about this yesterday. I feel the same way. I am only 33 weeks and have only gained 25lbs, yet people still ask if it is twins or when I say I am due in December they say "Are you sure?, maybe your due date is wrong, you look like your gonna pop!"

I want to say-No I am lying about my due date just for fun. Idiots!Chat Icon
