Other moms are generally awesome and supportive, have your back, and will try build you up. But then there are some who might not always mean to irritate you or hurt you, but they end up doing just that (there are some though who use the innocuous words to make you feel lousy. Here are some of the things I’ve been irritated by before… what have yours been?
- “When are you due?” (when you’re not even pregnant)
- “My baby slept through from six weeks”
- “I found it easy to latch, breastfed for two years”
- “I have no stretchmarks”
- “I’m so lucky – I lost all my weight after I had my child”
- “I only feed my child organic, sugar-free and preservative-free. And he just loves kale, broccoli and quinoa”
- “My toddler has never had a tantrum in public”
- “Sorry – we’re so busy this week and have no time for playdates. Between the piano, Mandarin and chess lessons, we’re just swamped”
- “My husband is so hands on – he does all the night feeds (with my expressed milk)”
- “You have no idea how tired I am”
- “I’m so busy – I went to gym, then to have my hair done, and now I’m at the shops looking for a pair of black heels”
