Am i just being sensitive?

[LouiseB]

I've just seen a comment somewhere on a different forum made by a pregnant lady that says something like "Fantastic - i'm not baron!" with lots of exclaimation marks and smiley faces etc

I am assuming that she is just happy but she doesn't seem to have had any reason to think that she was baron, so the excessiveness of the comment kind of upset me.

I'm kind of interpreting it to say "If you aren't pregnant, you must be broken".

I'm sure it isn't intentional but it is how it makes me feel. Offended.

I am all psycho today thanks to AF, but i almost feel like contacting them and telling them how thoughtless they are which would be rediculous so i'm telling you lot about it instead lol

I'm just being a freak, aren't i

No hun im kind of feeling the same about things at the mo. people can be so hurtful without even realising they are doing so. I have had quiet a few moments where i have felt like punching peoples faces in today and for no other reason then they are completely insensitive twats ( am i angry? hell yes lol) when you want something so precious so bad comments like that will drive you potty. sorry i think i might have just made you angrier lol xxx ** hides can shes had to calm her nerves**

What a horrible word that is 'baron' makes me cringe.

Think that is an insensitive comment, but some people don't think before they make stupid comments especially on a forum where people are TTC

A comment I hear regularly from a girl I know is "you're not a mum so you wouldn't understand"
That one gets me raging (inwardly of course) every time.

So, Nope. I don't think you are being overly sensitive. If you are then I am too

Can I just be really pedantic? A 'Baron' is a Male with a Aristocratic Title, 'Barren' is apparently unable to bear children.

I'd be quite glad to find I'm not an Aristocratic Male with a Title........

But yes, a bit of an excessive comment on her part.

Lxx

Yes, it was pretty pedantic. It was my spelling mistake, not the other ladies. Thanks anyway.

I'm not sure Title should have a capital t either. Or Aristocratic have a capital a. Or Male have a capital m.

Just read this post, hope you are feeling a bit better today Louise, I understand you feeling upset, I'm sure the girl who wrote it didn't think about how it would actually sound before she wrote it, the silly girl xx

Quite true.... Merely attempting to be amusing....
