“Well, you can just have an abortion, right? You’d be normal again, like nothing happened.”

And he couldn’t figure out why I threw something at him.

I’m 5.5 months pregnant with a little boy and haven’t gotten to the point where I can find humor in this type of insensitivity. Why is there such a societal expectation and exeptance that women are suppose to take care of men?

I’ve learned that there is no more a vulnerable (biologically, emotinally, physically, etc.) time in a women’s life than when she is pregnant. This is not the time for us to take responsibility for our men’s childish reactions to the disruption of their world. In fact, the disruptions they experience during a pregnancy fail in comparison to those of their partner. Speaking for myself, for the first time in my life I have absolutely nothing to give. I’m making a human being inside my body for crying out loud! Think before you speak and keep your insensitive BS to yourself. Your sweet mommy-to-be might surprise you with a healthy throat-bunch.

Hilarious post! And totally true.
My husband and I planned for our births so it was a bit surprising when he said things like:
We’re just perpetuating the cycle of misery and death.
We can’t afford a baby. (His friend pointed out he was planning a Hawaiian vacation for the next summer.)
I don’t believe in morning sickness. It’s all in the head. (Yeah, I could have killed him.)
Are your sure it’s mine? (Why, no, I’ve been sneaking out every night since our wedding night to sleep with strange men.)
Yeah, men say a lot of stupid things when you get pregnant.
