I just want to punch you in the face


When I was single and childless, they all tell me to hurry up and have a kid, how great it is, and tell me how pathetic my life would be without children. The minute they know that I am having a baby, they start telling me how terrible pregnancy is, how hard it is to have kids, and how I'll be giving up on all the fun things in life. WTF?

Lately, there are certainly people who made me want to punch their face in. From the friend who insists I'll be getting morning sickness soon (um, I'm in my 5th month dear) to the dad who won't shut up about how life will change and I'll never get to have fun again, to the person who assumes I'm an idiot by giving me hullo? obvious advice about taking prenatals, eating right, sleeping, breathing and you know, stuff that make me say Duh really??

Then there are those who think my belly isn't big enough, too big, or give me scary tales about birth and parenting or tell me just how fat I WILL get....you know what? I've decided to shut my ears internally (and tell them to suck it) I am not going to subscribe to this fear tactic! First of all, they are NOT ME! and believe me, I sure as hell am definitely not them.
