McDonalds

So it seems to have all started at McDonalds when I was 27 weeks along. I live in Germany right now by the way and I have learned that some Germans don't have tact. Well, a lot of them don't but neither do a lot of Americans.
So I was already stressed out a bit, it was 730pm, the kids, my husband and I were starving and just wanted to eat and get home. So after ordering our food we are standing there waiting for it, the cashier asked "When are you due?" I said "Early December." She looked at me as her eyes got wider and said "You are very big" I then said " I don't think I am that big" Well she must have felt like she needed to correct my thinking so she said "Well my daughter is due next week and you are much fatter than she is." I just looked at her with a very confused look and walked away. I COULD NOT BELIEVE WHAT I JUST HEARD!!! It bothered me all night! I couldn't get over it. uuuuggghh, I can't believe how ignorant people are.

  4. Valerie Being pregnant is such a beautiful and sexy thing and you wear pregnancy with just that! You look amazing! I honestly would not care at all what people say or think about being the way your body creates a human.
      End I have had so many rude remarks and comments made towards me with all my 3 pregnancies that at the time it may hurt but its all something to laugh about in the. People can be so ignorant and stupid! Although, it all makes some interesting stories to post on a blog. You go girl!
