Two unsolicited shitty comments in one day from people I really can't go back at so I just get so frustrated I want to cry. 

I was having a casual conversation with my dad about my dogs. I have two beagles who aren't the best behaved out of some of their beagle nature (beagles are stubborn and scent driven) but are definitely nowhere near true terrors, and he says "do better with children". I knew what he meant but I responded "excuse me?" And he said "you better raise your kids better than you did your dogs" um, what? This was through text so I'm sure it was more joking and he's a man so I'm sure he doesn't realize how offense this is but a. As a pregnant woman you are already FILLED with doubt about what you've gotten yourself into, what kind of mom you'll be, will you be a good mom, how do you do this parent thing so the last thing you need is someone else openly doubting you and b. My parents used to make fun of overbearing grandparents judging and commenting on their children's parenting and say how no one should ever judge or interfere with someone's parent technique, unless you know it's DANGEROUS yet he's going to do the same thing to me? And finally the worst part to me c. I have been a public school teacher for 6 years and in childcare for nearly 10. A damn good teacher at that, and he knows it. He knows how much I care about children, my ideals and methodology in terms of teaching, disciplining and guiding children and my passion for all of it. What makes him think how DOGS turned out (which is just fine)  is comparable?!

The second comment probably wasn't even that bad but my Dad had me fuming so... Upon arriving at my in laws my MIL said quite concerned "you just get skinnier every week instead of bigger" and when I rolled my eyes a bit because every day of this first trimester has felt like my last day on earth (and don't worry I'm doing all I can to provide a safe healthy environment for your grandchild who I might add is MY actual CHILD) she added "don't worry it'll all come at the end!" Gee. Thanks.

I probably am a brat or at least sound really sound like one. My husband didn't get what was wrong with either comment and I needed to get them off my chest to other pregnant women who understand some days, right now, if someone smiled at me the wrong way I might cry and/or punch them. It could go either way. 

Vent over. Thanks for listening.
