Baby talk

[ippa]

Oh dear, one of my friends turned round to me today and said, 'can we actually have a conversation without the baby being mentioned?'
I didn't even realise I was doing it! Oops!
Also is it wrong of me to actually feel a bit offended by this?

WHAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OMG thats horrendous of her!!!

Does she have kids?

And NO its def not wrong of you to be feeling offended but I would be telling her if she doesnt want to listen to you talk about your baby then she should stay away!!!

Thats horrible xxx

 

[ippa]

No she doesn't have kids of her own! I felt really bad as well I'm sure u all understan but it's the only thing on my mind and I love talking about him!
I do kind of understand that she may feel like I don't care about things going on in her life because obviously I do! I just wish she hadnt said it!

Well Im sure she would be gassing away if the shoe was on the other foot!

How rude of her!

I wouldnt be happy with her at all tbh! I have a friend a bit like this you may have read my prev posts, she is also pregnant and never wants to talk about me or our baby just all about her and hers!!
Some friends you dont need to be around xxx

I'd be really offended by that! I know when you're pregnant it does tend to be all we think/talk about half the time, but it's something that you should be excited about and talk about - and share with your friends! Is there any chance she's TTC and is finding it hard seeing other people pregnant? Although even if that was why she could have politely asked rather than being so rude x

I would have been really offended if she didn't want to chat about kids being she doesn't have any if he own and she prob can't relate why didn't she just change the subject urgh I really detest people that are out right rude! Lol (mini rant sorry)

Thank you, I'm glad I'm not the only one who feels offended by things like that!
I mean also once he is here my life will revolve around him anyway so she wouldn't be able to get away from it if she wants to see me!
I did feel a little better after I had a bit of a cry about it after making my excuses and leaving for home pretty promptly after the comment was made!

I would have been royally pissed off if my mate had said this and probably would have told her where to go!

On of the friends I've had since I was 14 (we used to be very close) asked me if he could be the friend I didn't talk about baby to. I know he's male and all he does is work and go out and get drunk. But I was offended too! He's very self centred. I do understand if someone desperately wants a baby or is ttc it must be hard. If that was the case I think it would be better if a person would explain that. I would tell her that you were quite hurt and try to explain why.

Some people are so odd. I know when my bf was pregnant long before I had my first I was more amazed by what she had to say rather than wishing she wouldnt talk about it. Your friend should recognise that this is an amazing and very important thing that's happening to you and if she can't see that then maybe you should see less of her. She'll soon make contact wondering 'what's up' as she probably didnt even realise she offended you, sad really. We'll we're all here for you to talk about the baby as much as you like. I know I bang on at work all the time and i've seen a few eyes roll but said if you don't like it, cork ya ears! I won't stop!! The annoying pregnant lady only has 12 weeks left of work anywhoo! LOL

I am conscious that it's all I talk about but I would be offended if someone pulled me up on it
