You can’t say THAT to a pregnant lady!
What are the worst things a man has ever said to you when you were pregnant?
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
My husband really stepped in it last week. I was searching the closet for something to put on my “blossoming” body and asked him where his purple sweater was. He just stared at me and said, “You can’t fit in that!”
Now it might have been true, but the wise man would have lovingly handed over his sweater and let the pregnant wife figure that out for herself. Besides wanting to beat him (which I did not do), that comment resulted in a shopping spree to the maternity store for more shirts and sweaters.
Earlier in November I had talked with him about taking the children down to see his father before the baby comes. They have not seen his father in almost two years. His answer was, “I don’t like traveling with you when you’re like this.”
“Like what?” I said.
His reply, “Pregnant.”
(He thinks he’s currently helping his case by standing over my shoulder while I’m writing this saying, “Tell them it’s because you whine and complain a lot.” — Thanks honey!)
I’m working on a possible column about the worst things men have said to pregnant ladies. Tell me your best worst comments. They may be included in a later column.
