[quote=Anonymous]I've been a nanny for a 5+ years. I recently had two abdominal surgeries  back to back. I was on bed rest and couldn't resume activitiy for a month each. So with those 3 or so months, I did gain around 25lbs. I am short so it doesn't look well on me.

Anyway, I was babysitting a new charge last night. As soon as I walked in and greeted the boy he says " I didn't know you look like that". I didn't think much od it until later in the evening, he was talking about the arrival of his baby sister( moms 7m prego) and he tells

him " where is your son?"

me: " I dont have a son"

him: Then why do you have a big belly. You are fat. Looks like you swallowed a baby."

Later I'm asking him if he is having fun. He tells me he had 2 sitters before and then says again " I didn't think you would look like that".

Am I being foolish? I feel like maybe it was taught behavior as the dad gave me a dirty look as soon as he saw me. Which is crazy because I have a picture on my profile. I was thinking maybe he said the comment because he was expecting his old sitter? The parent's said he was excited and talked about me coming almost the entire day.

What do you think? Do you think this was taught behavior or maybe a misunderstanding?

p.s. He also kept calling me " bro" and " dude" the entire night lol. I never had a charge say comments of this sort so I was taken back. [/quote]
