I am kind of tired of ppl making me feel stupid. I answer a question and now I get flak for it. I really don't care. I am at the point in my life that I just don't care much for certain things. You try to give your opinion and ppl have to ALWAYS correct you. The worst is when ppl do it in public. They make you feel like designated a**h*le.
My FIL does it to everyone cause he thinks that he knows everything. I am 36 weeks pregnant, my hormones are flying everywhere, I am very emotional these days and I just want this baby out! Why can't ppl just keep their comments to themselves? I am not a stupid person, I just gave my opinion. So what is wrong with that?
Thank you for letting me vent, I feel better now. :)
Why do people ACT like they know it all?? Because They have low self esteem and are trying to make themselves feel smarter by making you appear dumber
.
Don't ya hate that? Shame on him for bullying a pregnant lady. Next time, just burst into tears. The shame might make him think twice next time.
There may be extenuating circumstances in this case that aren't apparent from your post, but sometimes it's the delivery not the message. It could be just misunderstanding. When in doubt about the intent, ask an open question with a gentle tone for clarification.
It could also be that your hormones are affecting how you receive information or how you deliver it.
Glad you feel better for venting - we all need that from time to time.
Hope you have a better night. Hugs! and sweet dreams :)
I hear ya! I feel the same way so often. How come everyone else knows everything and I'm always wrong? It happens to me on fb, too. I'll take a direct quote from a reliable source and then I have people arguing! ("Well, that's not true"... blah, blah. Put a lid on it already, I feel like posting! lol) There's nothing really worth doing about it. Just be thankful we are not one of them, that we are more aware, that we know better and don't inflict our opinions to the point of belittling others. That in itself is a good feeling worth a lot :)
Whats wrong with just saying that? "I'm not a stupid person, I just gave my opinion." Call the person out on it and then let it go. I know its easier said than done but once you start doing it, it becomes easier. Relax mama, you are going to be very busy, very soon! Congrats!!!
ooh C.!! i'm sooo sorry!!!
I know that feeling!! Your FIL sounds like my FIL - maybe they should get together??!?!?!
Don't let the little people get to you!!! :) A lot of it is your hormones!!! I hope your baby comes out soon!! Hope you have a smooth delivery!!
Now take a deep breath and let it out slow - don't let your pinhead father in law get to you!!
You go girl! Venting is good and you're entitled to your opinion. Don't worry, soon enough the baby will be out and you'll get different kinds of advice. But, try to keep your cool and just focus on your new little bundle. And remember mommy knows best.
Vent away, my friend! No matter where you go, there will always be someone who thinks it is his/her job to be your teacher. Shake off as much as you can, and sometimes try to get in the last word. Simply thank the offending person for their input. Tell them you are very thankful for their opinion, and next time you have a problem, maybe they can let you try to figure it out on your own like a big person first. They might get the hint eventually.
Good luck with everything.
