I've never been so insulted in my life.
My aunt had a serious mid-life crisis last summer, to the point that we were scared she was having some mental issues. Long story short, she did tons of crazy things, including marrying a guy about 5 days after her divorce was final to a guy 20 years younger with three mentally handicapped children (with 3 different mommas, crack whores. literally).
Anywho, she is working at the hotel I'm part timing at over the summer as a housekeeper. and her husband came to pick her up. He says, "when are you having that baby?" I said, "What baby?" He said, "well, you've gotten so big I figured you were having a baby."

Usually I get asked by the kids at school and I just tell myself they are little and don't know any better.

<div>Yeah, my students have said similar things but like you said, they're kids and I shrug it off. But a grown man? I called my mom in tears and she said not to let it bother me, that he's really so clueless that he doesn't even know that could be hurtful.</div><div>

[QUOTE]She heard. She said, <strong>haha, just smack him good. And he said, aw I'm just teasing her. and they walked out.</strong> I've gained weight, I know I have, but come on. That hurts. And I know the Mirena has a lot to do with it, 30 lbs in 3 months. I've mentioned it here before. Time to get back on the diet wagon :(

<div>He doesn't, and I hate to sound judgey, but I am, so I'll expect to be flamed next week haha. but he really doesn't.</div><div>
</div><div>My mom said, "he just doesn't have a lick of sense." <3 southern phrases.</div>
People are a**holes. I've never been asked if I was pregnant, but I have been asked weather I was 'actually' a girl. Some people have no tact.
The same thing happened to me NINE MONTHS AFTER Chiquita was born. I was shopping with DH for a dress and while in line, a saleswoman from the store patted my belly and asked how far along I was. I was seething!

Sorry your feelings are hurt. Try not to let it get to you since you know the source. You know, seeing as how he fell off yesterday's turnip truck.

Yup, it's happened on more than one occasion. I'm 6' 4", and for some reason some people assume that means I'm probably a transvestite, and that it's appropriate to ask me.

[QUOTE]Dude, this is why you never ask a woman that, unless the baby is crowning. I had it happen to me several months ago, and it absolutely sucks. Then the lady said <strong>"well, I wouldn't have asked, but it's just that your stomach has gotten particularly big</strong>. Yep, that made it AAALLLLLL better. People suck, hardcore.
