I seem to be hearing it a lot these days -- we hate you, I hate you.....but why? Or at least, why now? If they hated me before it was different. They don't really hate me though. Hate is such a strong word isn't it?
Apparently this who labor, delivery, & post-partnum thing I have and am going through is not the same experience that others have.
They hate me because I was only at the hospital for less than 3.5 hours before I had the baby in my arms. They hate me because I only had to push for 16 minutes. Did they have me for morning "all-day" sickness for 18 weeks? I don't think so.
They hate me because I don't look like I just gave birth less than 2 weeks ago. Actually, I am soft & squishy in the middle, but honestly, I do not look like I just gave birth. I was all prepared to still look 5-6 months pregnant. But that just isn't the case. But what I want to know was did they hate me when I was watching my food intake and making sure I had a balanced diet with lots of fruit, veggies, & whole grains? Did they hate me when I was going out for a walk several times a week?
They hate me because only a couple days after delivery we were out taking a short walk with the baby in the stroller. Again, did they hate me when I was walking during pregnancy? Did they hate me when I was practicing my kegels?
I have this suspicion that people didn't hate me when I was was working hard to take care of myself so that now things aren't as bad as they had experienced. Or maybe it is all attitude, maybe they look back and hate certain aspects of their experience and that is what they hate, it's not me, it's their experience that they hate.

I don't think people hate you, but that they weren't as disciplined as you and/or have as pleasant of an experience as you did. I hope it goes as smoothly for me as it did for you when it's my turn.
They are just lazy asses who hate people who are disciplined. I don't eat junk food anymore and watch what I eat now. Did it cold turkey. I lost 14 lbs over night and now everyone at work hates me. Two of them tell me to my face, I hate you for getting so skinny. 135 for 5'1" isn't SO SKINNY.
