Lil Red Posted January 19, 2009 Author Share Posted January 19, 2009 +J.M.J.+ [quote name='CatherineM' post='1755722' date='Jan 19 2009, 03:14 PM']When people ask rude personal questions, I usually answer with, "Wow, times have sure changed. When I was a kid, people never asked personal questions like that." Or, "Why would you want to know something so personal about me?" As to touching your stomach without permission, I find a well timed scream the best way to handle that. When they recoil and look at you in shock, just tell them that you were startled because you couldn't image anyone touching your stomach without permission.[/quote] good point. that will work with strangers, but what about friends/family? edit: i don't mind if family touches the belly. just strangers and 'nominal' friends.

littleflower+JMJ Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 I would probably go the "kill them with kindness" route by saying, "You know I am having a [b]really[/b] hard time with this pregnancy already and things like commenting on how big I am or touching my belly really just makes everything [i]that[/i] much more difficult to deal with. I would really appreciate you not doing that because things like that really upsets me, even if I don't show it, and in the end I think its [u]very[/u] inconsiderate." Or we can start creating "Touch my belly and die" and "Stay 10 feet away!" teeshirts! No, really, in the end, I really don't know but I do have lots of prayers! I know it must be difficult and I hope it gets better for you. It smells of elderberries to have people rain on anyone's parade. Prayers, prayers, prayers! That each time you come across rude people that there is a better way to counter answer each and every one of them...and to each their own!
