[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To her defense, the woman didn't know you miscarried, right? I assume she thought the pregnancy was going well especially since you never said otherwise?

Trying to figure out the context.

The woman didn't intentionally say it out of spite or purposely upset your child. It was just casual small talk.[/quote]

Also trying to figure out context. OP, was this someone you knew who knew that you were pregnant and didn’t realize your DD didn’t know? Or was this a stranger who just assumed you were pregnant based on your appearance? The first is a faux pas but I think forgivable. The second just defies words?[/quote]

Yes but strangers should stop commenting on women’s bodies. It’s ridiculous and what are you hoping to accomplish?

I am sorry OP. People are dumb.[/quote]

Exactly. I never understood the rush to defend the person who is doing what they shouldn’t be.  Maybe those posters see themselves [/quote]

It's not a rush to defend someone, the PP was asking for clarification.

Frankly, it's exhausting trying to avoid offending people these days.  I keep to the weather with strangers or just smile and say nothing.  Everyone has huge sticks up their butts these days, but we are all supposed to intuit the size, color, and exact history of those damn sticks so that we don't possibly offend.  Exhausting.[/quote]

A.M.E.N TO INFINITY!!!!!!!!!!!!![/quote]

If you find it so difficult to talk without offending people, there's an easy fix to that. Don't talk. It's not hard. [/quote]

You need to work on your reading comprehension.[/quote]

NP. Wah wah wah, so she is EXHAUSTED by all the work it takes to not offend people so she sticks to the weather. PP's suggestion that she just say nothing is still appropriate.

I talk all the time and manage not to offend anyone. I don't find it difficult at all.[/quote]

Ha!  You might be surprised what people actually think of you.  Based on your post, I'm thinking it's not so great.  Guessing you offend on the regular.
