Things I don’t/do want to hear

22Sep11

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.
