Well, I suppose I’d have to respond to a comment like that, mostly because this extra weight I’m carrying around is becoming a genuine source of frustration for me.

1. The eternal engaged couples—when is it actually happening?
Whenever you finally decide to tie the knot... oh, suddenly there’s this, or that...

2. The first-time parents—when do you think it'll be your turn?
"Oh, I'm pregnant..." then immediately it turns into: once the baby arrives, we'll need this, or that, and how are you going to afford all this if you aren't working, blah blah blah.

3. The second-time parents—the kid is growing up, it's time, don't you want another?
So I'm waiting for my second, and they go, "...well, the little one might get jealous, and what if the next one isn't the same gender?"

I am just so incredibly exhausted by these people... it's always some kind of subtle threat.

That is spot on! 🙂

Hey ladies,
I figured I’d jump in here too 😁

It’s always the same thing: "Oh, once you have a baby, your life is over. There's no more sleep, there's no more freedom, there's nothing left except the child..." It’s like they’re implying that my entire existence—and everyone else’s around me—just ceases to matter the moment a baby arrives. GOOD GRIEF!!... As if we're welcoming some sort of cosmic miracle that demands total self-annihilation!

And don't even get me started on the parents who patronizingly tell me, "just enjoy it while you can before the baby gets here," because frankly, hearing them talk like that makes me want to snatch their kids away right then and there.

The friend was rubbing her belly, and then out of nowhere, the pregnant lady reaches over and starts petting her own chest. The friend just stood there completely stunned. 🤣 The woman tells her, "That’s actually how it feels when you rub my stomach. I'm not a fan." Total boss move. 😁

Hahaha, that is pure gold!
