Unsupportive friend (no children)

Have a friend who has only projected negative comments towards my pregnancy.

Told her i was relaxing in the bath while the hubby took the dog to the dog park only to have her reply “enjoy it now - you’re about to have no down time for the next decade” how negative is that? Especially coming from someone who doesn’t even have kids.

Shes also said other awful things like “is his sperm ruining your brain”

Has anyone else had ppl like this in their lives?

I have not been sleeping well since my stomach has gotten bigger and I absolutely hate when people tell me to get my sleep in now cuz I can’t once baby is here. Like u don’t know what I’m going through now. Definitely stop talking to her if she’s so negative.

I feel sometimes people feel they need to make jokes as they don’t really know how to relate to a pregnant person at times. However, I feel from the sperm comment id be wondering if she is concerned about losing your friendship as she’s knows it and is projecting negativity because of that. Or, if she’s simply being rude to you. Only you will know your friendship and her motivation but I’d be very protective over your boundaries during such an important and precious time.

And just to note, you don’t know what type of baby you will have and what their sleep needs are either 😉

Cut her off immediately

I’m quick to mute people then eventually unfollow/block. We already have it rough as it is

Sounds like a projection of her own unhappiness… be careful
