Last Saturday, I went to shul against my better judgment. Truthfully, I felt so yucky, it wasn’t a great idea. But the triplets were in their wagon ready to go and J wasn’t ready yet, so I told Seth I’d bring him up myself once he found his coat/shoes/whatever it was that he was missing.
It was that day that I got told I am “complaining” if I answer the question “How are you feeling?” with anything other than “Fantastic! How about yourself?” I walked into another room and a very-well-established member of our congregation asked me when I’m due and the inevitable “How are you feeling?” She said that she threw up every day while pregnant with one of her kids, “But I didn’t mind because I didn’t gain any weight that time.” I told her I’d lost 25 pounds.
“That’s okay – you needed to lose those 25 pounds anyway. If you’d been skinny to start with, they’d be worried and would have put you in the hospital.”
Um. I really have nothing more to say about that.
Wow. That’s just beyond *itchy. People like that deserve all sorts of horrible things.
uh… excuse me??? did you really just say that? i cannot beleive some people. just find comfort in the fact that you raise your children WAY better than she was obviously raised.
I’m so sorry.. this is the second time in a week, wasn’t it? what is wrong with these people?
Wow. Just wow.
What a bitch. This one should have been slapped for sure!
Some people just don’t know how to keep their inappropriate comments to themselves. She doesn’t sound like a very bright women.
Wow! What a kind woman! *eyeroll*
Some people just don’t get it.
Un.Believable.
I can’t imagine who **would** have something to say about it! Her statement speaks for itself (and for her).
People need to learn to keep their traps shut and stop judging.
Dude, seriously? Can I slap her for you?
