So far in this pregnancy, I've only had a handful of unwanted comments or advice that have really ticked me off.
I had one co-worker continuously comment on my clothing choices and that got a little out of hand after the fifth or sixth comment. I get it. You are actively tracking my wardrobe choices and I get the feeling you don't approve. Well, too fucking bad lady. Maybe I don't want to borrow one of your mumus for the rest of my pregnancy.
The other comment that I absolutely hate is when other parents say "Are you ready for this?" when their children are behaving badly. I have no illusions that my child will be perfect and a total dream and easy to work with. I'm quite realistic, but when your child acts up because of poor parenting choices, I don't think that really applies to me and my child yet. It's a bit presumptuous and I take slight offense to it.
I know all this is said with good intentions, but after the millionth tantrum by said child and millionth "Ready?" comment, I think I get the message. So save your breath and keep it to yourself.
