In need of some nestie advice
I am having a little issue with DH's stepmother.
The past two times I have seen her shes come running to me to rub my belly and talk to the baby. She gets this whiney voice "hiiiiii jackson it's graaaaaaaammmmmmmy" Good Lord.
But that's not even the worst part. She kisses my belly. This has happened twice. It takes everything within my to not knock the lady out.
I've talked to Nikki and Dani and they've told me to just be honest and tell her it makes me uncomfortable. But I feel as though I'm 'calling her out'. But she's killing me. The more I think about this/talk about it the more mad I get. I told my aunt today at work and burst into tears (that could be hormonal lol)
So is that all I do? Just tell her she's making me uncomfortable?

Re: In need of some nestie advice
YUCK! I told my FIL when he touched the belly (when I was pg w/ Em) that I wouldn't want my own father touching my belly. It was harsh. But he got it. I freaking HATED IT!! I'm sorry. It's so annoying. My mil used to say, "How's my baby??" That annoyed the crap out of me too. "You mean your son? He's fine."
hee hee.
Seriously. Tell her the truth. ew.
awkward
ya be honest and upfront, before you hall off and wack the lady !
good luck !
AHHHHHH! Brian's mom too! I HATE it!!
just be honest and tell her you aren't comfortable with that. i will never understand why people think pregnant womens' bellies are a free-for-all of touching! i guarantee that would drive me batsh!t if i were pregnant. and i can't promise i wouldn't smack someone who did it
Ew ew ew!!! I would just be skeeved out by anyone other than DH or the kids kissing my belly. Gross. Yup. Be honest and just say, listen, please don't do that I really am uncomfortable with it because it is still my body. Better yet have your husband do it!!
Eh? She kisses your belly? That is just... weird! I would definitely stop her in her tracks if she tries again and tell her exactly what you said - it makes you very uncomfortable and you and baby need your personal space.
The belly touching by family (the grandparents or my SILs) never bothered me. But kissing my belly would have been a big no-no!
And of course that was all the explanation necessary!
