Things I don’t/do want to hear
Hello people I randomly meet in my little valley of the unHoly land,
Because some of you seem to lack a fundamental sense of tact as well as more than 2 brain cells to rub together, I am putting together a guide of how not to get your head bitten off when you’re around me.
Things I don’t want to hear from you:
“Gee, you look really tired.” — Seriously, I have a one-month-old, a 20-month-old and a 7-year-old, I work full-time from while taking care of my kids and have a workaholic husband who leaves home before we all wake up and then comes home late. Do you think I need you to tell me I look tired. Maybe I look tired because I AM tired? And maybe it’s not a good idea to poke the very tired new mom with a sharp and insulting stick? Hmmm?
“You had your baby? You still look pregnant.” — Really? This is really something you think is safe to say around me? You’re lucky I have at least one baby in my arms at all times or you would probably be lying bleeding in some ditch somewhere. Bugger off!
And now, because deep down I’m a positive person made of rainbows and light…
To the wonderful woman I met in MacDonald’s this week – bless you. You make the top of the list of things I want to hear. In fact, you are the list
“This baby is your 3rd? But you don’t look old enough to have 3 kids” — *sigh* My tired/still-pregnant-looking self thanks you.

I agree with the third person.
The others are idiots.
