Keep chuggin' through there. Soon enough you'll be on maternity leave and you'll have plenty to keep you busy for a while. :)<BR/><BR/>Honestly, I can't think of the rudest comment I've ever received. I allow most of them to roll off my back after a few days and rarely remember the ones that really pissed me off.Aaronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00584354669062073865noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8450655469454927034.post-53822752559958888982007-12-27T12:19:00.000-08:002007-12-27T12:19:00.000-08:00It's too bad that the people who really need to he...It's too bad that the people who really need to hear this won't read it. I was continually amazed at the stupid shit people said to me.<BR/><BR/>I'd like to say it gets better, but just wait until strangers start commenting on your parenting skills. <BR/><BR/>*sigh*<BR/><BR/>(How wonderful to hear that everything is going well!!!)SWF42https://www.blogger.com/profile/15258144732640429382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8450655469454927034.post-39125897185168157172007-12-21T17:50:00.000-08:002007-12-21T17:50:00.000-08:00How Horrible!

Who does that? If I asked her that same question, she'd be appalled. Or how they'd comment on how much I ate or whatnot. While I'm not sensitive about anything like that and it doesn't bother me, it always struck me how it's a double-standard of sorts.<BR/><BR/>As for rude comments...I love the "why aren't you married?" question.Allyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01816929643644946388noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8450655469454927034.post-61436459553395405582007-12-19T13:13:00.000-08:002007-12-19T13:13:00.000-08:00You're back!

Not that I've been preggers yet, but I can imagine. And I hear some of the things people say. I bet you look wonderful! And 31 weeks! Wow, you're almost there!!!! :)<BR/><BR/>I got some comment, that was supposed to be a compliment (I think?) in college. A guy told me that "I look 110% better!" and asked if I had lost weight! I mean, I guess he was trying to say I looked good... but what's that say for what he thought I looked like earlier?!
