Not only in your circle but here too. Noticed too many times, unsolicited advices like superstitions and expects everyone to believe. I roll my eyes when I see comments like that. Really not needed especially when everyone's beliefs are different. I have no tolerance for things like that and I will normally tell them off. I have immediate family members that said I am old and keep forgetting things when I'm obviously pregnant so I told them off and ask them to Google about pregnancy brain. That shut them up. I was secretly hoping they'll experience the same as me and see how they feel. Yes, I can be mean too.
I think for the food and drinks part, some ppl are just genuinely concerned about us, hence just take it with a pinch of salt. For the old wives tale, depending on how pantang you are. 🤣 The pregnancy comment be like just ignore cuz errbardy bound to have something to say. Fast they say wah u fast, finally also say finally. Unnecessary stress for parents.
for you cannot drink this or that my reply will be. oh is it but I drink already nvm la. old wives tales honestly I will listen better to be safe than sorry. some claim to be old wives tales but actually it's real thing. most of the time for ppl who keep saying I will just say. ok I get it don't need keep repeat hahaha. indirectly telling them enough
I simply reply such people with the comments they deserve. If their comments are mean then they will get a mean comment from me. If they meant well for me then I will jus listen. But still I will tell these ppl I pay so much for my doctor fee surely I listen to my doctor.. if not anything happen to me who pay for me?? You?
Yea! I got a “what took you both so long” remark from a relative while I was pregnant and a “when are u both gonna have kids alrdy? It’s been xx years”. my answer - simple. “We got no time for sex. Too busy travelling” that shut them up for a very long time.
I dun care abt others saying cannt eat.. I eat what i want and dun eat wat i dunwan but when it comes to MIL.. Abit opposite.. I don't feel comfortable eating certain food but MIL says can eat n cook for me. Dont know how to reject.
Wow thanks for the idea. I Nv thought of this! Ya, im also thankful and she is also doing things for me so dont want to offend her too. 😁
Best is don't give them topic to talk. I will just find a corner to rest. If you cannot see that i am tired then you need go reflect on yourself. Don't disturb a pregnant woman rest. Lol.
Don’t meet people. Best solution.
