Follow-up from the "are you pg?" cousin

[gmail]

OP: www.pandce.proboards.com/thread/199455/aaaaaand-asked-pregnant-awesome

Cousin wrote back and said:

Nonetheless you look great! I lost 15 lbs and then got pregnant. So maybe the same thing will happen to you.

Oh, so I looked so great you thought I was pg? And the assumption that I want to GET pg again? UGH. I need space from my family.

[snickers]

Wow, your cousin is being an asshole. I do not understand why people say this to women!
ETA: I am sorry she made you feel bad about yourself

[candreco]

She really doesn't know when to just let it drop, does she?

[Yankees21]

This cousin does not know when to stop!

[Deleted]

do you think she works at my building as a security guard?

[sergey]

Woah woah woah, she needs to shut her damn trap! Do not respond, god knows what she'd say next.

She also included a bunch of stuff about when she's due, how #1 came earlier than expected, etc. So I just responded with "Exciting!" and left it at that.

At first I was all indignant and wanted to write something about how I didn't appreciate the assumption, but then I remembered it's none of her fucking business AND anything I say will probably be shared with other family members at some point in time - like "Hmmm..I wonder if Mr and Mrs Gmail will have another?" "Oh, no. She told me she didn't want to/wasn't sure!"

This family. I swear.

She did a little, at first, but then I was all "FUCK YOU! I just started a new workout program and in about 10 weeks I'm gonna look awesome. So screw you and your assumptions."

People are just stupid sometimes. I'm sorry she hurt your feelings.

[VillainV]

Wow. The least she could have done is apologized for saying that to you, instead of trying to backpedal.

[gmail]

Right?

Are you pg? No? Oh, well...you look great!


Honestly, IDK why I'm surprised. This side of the family is kind of tactless. My other (older) cousin tells DH ALL THE TIME "You're too skinny! You don't eat enough! What, doesn't Gmail feed you? WHY ARE YOU SO SKINNY? Also, I think you have less hair than the last time I saw you!"

And yet ANOTHER cousin makes micro-aggressive racist comments to and about her biracial DIL and then acts all "WHAAA? MEEE???" when she's called out on it.

Rosh Hashana dinner is gonna be WICKED fun this year.

It's impressive how she just won't stop digging. She will hit China soon.

What an ass. You're hot. She should try to not talk for a bit.
