Stop help: What do you do when your pregnant and all of those Moms give - Help.com

Say to them that you want to raise him your way, and that it isn’t their kid..

or when your in target shopping for new shoes because your feet exploded and some random woman comes up and touches your stomach

be diplomatic that’s all i can say to it.

how old r u?

Can’t say this has happened to me, but can’t you just take a massive tantrum, throw stuff, cry and scream at them till they get the picture, and then blame it all on hormones?

My female friends do that a lot…

They are just trying to help. I would listen to there advice but when the time comes you do what you feel is best.

If you want to be seen as an adult who is capable of raising a child without unsolicited advice, you may want to NOT throw a tantrum. :) I would recommend you sit down, look the individual in the eye and say calmly, “I know that you just want the best for me and the baby. But I am an adult and *I* am the mother. If I need need advice, I will come to you. Otherwise, I would appreciate it if you let me handle it.”

If that doesn’t work, THEN you go to “Back off!” Good luck!

Good advice, but if it’s people you don’t know, like the random women coming up and touching your stomach, I’d consider takng their hands off your stomach and just saying, “Please respect my personal space, thank you.” And if that doesn’t work, slug them and blame the hormones. :D

let them know that thanks for the advice but i really dont need it i always liked the advice until my girls where about a year old. Most things i had been through cuz they are now 2 and 4. But now some of the advice sucks. my 2 year old still takes a pacifier at nap and bed time and i and her dr think its fine but everyone thinks it is their business
