Why can’t people keep their mouths shut!?

Interesting discussion here....My two cents...

I am a little sick of the fact that so many people seems to have an opinion which is given to you when you are pregnant. Re your size, what you are eating, the pram you require, how breast feeding is the only lawful way to feed a child, that names you have choosen suck and that drugs or drug free child births are the only option....

Ie I was told "wow your bump is small" and "God you are huge" in the same day by people who had no idea how pregnant I was... perhaps it's just people making conversation however it kinda guts me. How hard is it for people to say "how are you getting on.. how is everything going?" if they want to make conversation...

Now my key take outs from this thread have been two fold...

1. If I wanted an opinion from an @rse hole I would have farted.. Don't think I would ever be able to say this but it made me giggle and...
2. Sorry do I know you.. cause you don't know me or anything about my circumstances....so you probably aren't placed to pass comments on my life.

And to finish... God I need a glass of wine... am I a bad mother for dreaming about alcohol and hanging out for my glass of bubbles on Christmas Day... roll on any opinions about that one

Serenity good on you for sticking up for yourself (even if you feel like you went a bit too far in the end!!!). I don't think I'd be brave enough - would probably just slink home and cry. I've been FF since Ollie was two weeks old and I'm still waiting for the day someone tries to tell me I'm not doing the best for my child.

Bottom line...you're the mum which means you get to make the decisions and if your child is happy and healthy then you must be doing the right things.

When I was pregnant I was working in a gym and one of the member's who hadn't seen me for a while came up to me and said 'you look different somehow, have you got taller?' - after getting so many you're huge, you're tiny comments this really made me laugh and made my day
