Question

"its going to be hard for you" and i just want to say shut up! i know. why do people need to constantly repeat themselves?! then people who dont even know me tell me, its gona be so hard, your life is changing. okay i didnt ask for your advice!! how do i get them to shut up without being like shut up your opion is unwanted!!! i mean, its not even advice.. they are just saying how hard my life is going to be.. it bothers me

Answer 1

Get one of those airhorns and just blast it right in their face and then walk away. That will teach them to shut up.

Answer 2

when they say it will be hard, just reply...oh really i had no idea, then they will feel dumb...the advice, it doesnt matter how old you are you get that c**p, tell repeat offenders that your doctor would like if you only followed his/her advice because some of the info you had been given was innacurate

Answer 3

Yes, you're young,.. Yes, life's going to be hard for you and you're tired of hearing.. that I can understand.. BUT.. you're only getting upset because you fear what they're telling you.  It's alright to be afraid.  Just tell them the truth... tell them exactly what you already know and that you don't need to be constantly reminded.  You HAVE to do this.. stand up for yourself.. if you can't.. then how will you be able to do that for a child!  You don't have to tell them to shut up in those words.. it'll be more effective if you handle this situation in a mature and unexpected state.  This will leave your doubters second guessing themselves... which will benefit you now and in the long run.

Good luck....

Answer 4

Tell them exactly how you feel. Let them know that you are old enough to realize that your life will change and become challenging. Also, don't hesitate to give them a heavy dose of sarcasm. Serves them right for getting in your business and giving unwarranted advice. ;)

Answer 5

Answer 6

Well it is gonna be hard.......................................

Answer 7

People aren't seeing what's in their face. They are only seeing what isn't an ideal situation.

    My own family did and said all those things during my pregnancy last year because I'm unmarried and my boyfriend didn't move in til I was 8 months. I guess they thought he never would.

  Even I did it. When my sister got pregnant I was exstatic for her. Then when my 19 yr old single friend got pregnant- I felt for her. Of course I was happy, but in the back of my mind we both knew and were thinking about how much her life is going to change.

   Try thinking of the feeling you had the day you found out. You were scared, right? You didn't know what to do... You felt like "it was going to be hard", Right?   Well, these people are finding out for the first time too. I believe it's a normal reaction.

Me? I have been asked "When are you getting married?" Probably 15 hundred times! These jerks never realized that maybe my boyfriend hasn't asked me... All I replied with was "We're doing fine, I think a baby is enough for now!"

  Just let them know you have a support system, and that you'll be fine. We all know it's none of their business, but to some women every pregnant girl is their business. You'll understand someday after you have your child--- you'll love talking to and about pregnant women!  : )

Answer 8

You should just try and move on . Does the dad know . Tell them thanks sweetly but you can get along fine and you don't need they're advice

Answer 9

i'd point out how difficult life must be for them since they have diarrhea of the mouth.

Answer 10

just tell them dont hold it in

Answer 11

Tell them it bothers you and stand up for yourself!  It's ok to tell people how you feel to their face and I bet they will treat you with more respect.

Answer 12

i agree. what do they want you to say to that. they are being truly arrogant and intrusive. it is none of their business.

Answer 13

just be like yeah im aware of that but thanks for telling me. its a nicer way of saying that you dont need their opinions.
