What gives you the right to know?
- 12 Replies
Whether or not someone is their child's biological parent, whether or not the child was adopted, who the child's father is, whether you're married to them, how many fathers your children have, or why they have the number of children they do?
When did it become okay for grown people to just go up to others, strangers at that, and ask about these things?
Ugh Yes I know, I also hated after being pregnant with #3 people blurting out "So are you gonna get your tubes tied" They don't have a right to know just politely turn to them and say "Why do you need to know?"
While I was pregnant, I had people ask me constantly who the father was since they knew my XH and I were separated. So annoying. I finally got so tired of people asking, I told them I didn't know.
There's also the infamous "What are you having?", "Are you having a boy or girl?" or "Do you know what you're having?", when a woman is pregnant. Those seem innocent enough, but, after a while, they get on your nerves. I got so sick of them that I started giving smart allecky (sp?) responses such as "Well, I think I'm having a baby, but it might be a litter of puppies," or "Neither one, it's a hermaphrodite duck."
When I was pregnant,I was so big that people would ask me if I was carryings twins. They would say it jokingly at first and then they would say,"No,seriously, are you sure it's not twins?You're huge!"
Great.Just what a pregnant girl needs to hear!
