Can I Ask You Ladies Something.....
Do you get offended or annoyed when people ask you "Do you know what you're having?"
i asked a oregnant woman in my store and my boss literally FLIPPED on me! she even HIT my arm!
she said thats so rude. and i should never ask a woman a question about her body.
she went on and on... and she even made me feel bad in fron t of the woman. she said to her "Dont you think thast so rude? You must get so annoyed at people"
Um... i never for once thought that ws rude to ask a woman if she knonws the sex of her baby.
usually if they do they get excited to talk to me about it!!!!
just asking you ladies, do you get annoyed and think its rude?............

Re: Can I Ask You Ladies Something.....
I don't get annoyed! I love it when people take notice of my belly!! And as for asking the sex, we're not finding out and when I tell people that they always have an opinion as to why we should, but that doesn't bother me either. People can get so uptight!

Re: Can I Ask You Ladies Something.....
not at all, people will either tell you or not.
Your boss is definitely a weird woman.

Re: Can I Ask You Ladies Something.....
That's really strange that she got mad!! She sounds a little odd to me! The only thing I get annoyed at is strangers trying to touch my belly or people telling me that I'm having a girl because I"m carrying wide and in my butt. That is offensive to me because little did they know that I started off wide with a larger butt and how dare they talk about my size/shape.

Re: Can I Ask You Ladies Something.....
Everyone on the planet has approached me and asked these three things in this order
1. when are you due?
2. Do you know what it is?
3. Have you decided on a name.
I think these are common questions - shows people are interested - I wouldn't worry - you didn't do anything wrong!!

It doesn't bother me at all. I think it's normal - unlike your boss.

Re: Can I Ask You Ladies Something.....
That's completely ridiculous. I think your boss is on some sort of power trip! That is a totally normal, nice, interested question!! If someone doesn't know or doesn't want to say they will just tell you that. It's SO NOT RUDE.

I was just telling my DH the same thing...thats what everyone asks! Its amazing that every single person asked me If I wanted to know!
And to answer your question, No I do not get offended. What bothers me is if they don't agree with finding out I get a the face like "Oh,you don't want to be surprised"

Re: Can I Ask You Ladies Something.....
I am not offended by that question at ALL and it's NOT a comment on your body.... it's a question about the sex of the baby! Your boss is a nut job!

I totally agree with that! I can't stand it when people berate me for finding out. I had this one jerk this past weekend say "oh - why did you find out???? That is so awful. Don't you want to be surprised?" Uh...NO - I don't, which is WHY I found out!

I didn't think of that, but she may be right!! What if the lady wasn't expecting!

Re: Can I Ask You Ladies Something.....
I think your boss is a bit wacky. I get asked ALL the time and I've never once gotten annoyed. I love sharing the news of our little boy on the way

Re: Can I Ask You Ladies Something.....
I don't get annoyed when people ask if I'm going to find out....I respond with a resounding yes, because my husband can't wait till the delivery. Plus, I'm from a family of girls, so if I have a boy-it's a big deal!!
