Does it annoy you when some pregnant women abuse their pregnancy to get special privileges?

My boyfriend and I were shoe shopping at the outlets where we live and when we were walking into a store we noticed a pregnant woman outside SMOKING. I think that's really bad, but we didn't pay any attention to it and went on about our business in the store buying shoes and stuff. Well by the time we got in line, the store had become really crowded and there were about 5 people in line ahead of us and the pregnant woman and her friend were behind us. She kept dropping hints really loudly saying things like "its too bad some people won't let a poor pregnant woman ahead of them in line" and "my feet hurt" and "I need to hurry up and get out of here so I can get us something to eat, I'm eating for two you know"


Well, I figured since she obviously didn't care about her baby enough to consider what smoking can do to unborn babies, I kept my spot in line and didn't let her ahead. She can't be all about her baby at times and not care about it at other times, you know? Was I wrong for that?

ugh! yes i hate that! like when some pregnant girls get to work late or take long lunch hours or dont like to do certain things like run errands. I'm sorry but im pregnant and i dont come to work late, i take a 30min lunch break instead of 1 hour and even when im throwin up all day i still go to work.
Reply:I have a great deal of sympathy for women in an advanced stage of pregnancy and persons with physical challenges, but in this case I'm afraid it's a case of first-come, first-served. I'd give the woman my taxi or my seat on the bus or subway, but not my place in line. If she's too fatigued to stand in line, perhaps her friend can make her purchase while she finds a comfortable chair nearby.
Reply:She is a crazy *****. I work with a lot of different people and I know the signs. Her attitude has nothing with her being pregnant, she is the kind woman who will start a huge argument in the store when she tries to return a dress she already wore. Her pregnancy is just another something for her to exploit, hell she's exploit her dead ancestor if it could get her something.


Some people are just selfish like that.
Reply:I think anyone with a shred of decency would have let this woman go first. However, considering she was smoking and being obnoxious about cutting in line, I would have kept my place just on principal. I would have turned to my husband and said (fairly loudly, but not loudly enough to be obnoxious), "Honey, do you smell cigarette smoke?" then turn and look around trying to find the source of the smell, making sure to make eye contact with this woman, and hold it for a few seconds, then look down your nose at her, shake your head, and turn back around.
Reply:I don't think you were wrong for that.
Reply:I say good for you for standing your ground and not letting her bully you and the others in line around. Just dont let it sour you on helping others when it looks like they need help but are reluctant to ask.
Reply:I had a really rough time when I was pregnant and felt horrible the entire time... and I did suck it up and go to work and take care of myself. That said, it would have been really nice if people would have been helpful (they weren't!) but I never did ask for it and I never would have.





My guess is that she's not acting that way because she's pregnant. She's acting that way because she's a spoiled princess whom the whole world revolves around. I'd be that a year from now, she's going to have the "it's so hard to move this big clunky stroller around" whine, and if she's married, I bet she had the whole entire "These napkins aren't exactly the right shade of light blue" bridezilla thing going. She just *happens* to be pregnant at this time, and so is using that as the excuse.
Reply:yes and just as bad is those that reject having a commited father for their baby=truth be told=along with that a sense of humor, some beauty to behold-yet in love that one becomes the most beautiful on earth, character-to be a person that tries to keep their word, willing to be romanced and loved unconditionally, one that will try and not be angry and never let the sun go down feeling upset, along with a commitment for marriage.


this is what helped me to see it this way=


may I offer a prayer that helped me to know what to seek="Jesus if I am not willing to do your perfect will, change my will so I will be willing to do it." in your name Jesus amen





this is also what helped me, and got me to believe Hebrews 13 "In marriage the bed is undefiled but the others will be judged."


Be not unequally yoked with unbelievers, for what fellowship hath light with darkness and righteousness with unrighteousness.





my help came from above and comforted me through to today=this is what got me from religion to Jesus and simple truth happily=this is how I as a Jew came to know Jesus personally





"Unto us a child is born, a son is given, and he will be the mighty God, and the prince of peace." Isaiah 9:6





the answer is still in the salvation of the soul-till then we are on the outside looking in. Revelation 22 "Do not add to my word or take from it or you will get plagues, and never find salvation."





this is how I got salvation-believing the Word of God="I love you, and ask you to repent of your sins (even one lie) quickly. Behold I stand at your heart door and knock if you hear my words and ask me in, I will come in and be your friend." Revelation 1:1=Jesus words spoken from heaven %26amp; 3:19%26amp;20





so i prayed "Jesus I am sorry for my sins, come into my heart and help me, be my friend, amen."





Now Jesus is my Messiah, best friend, and savior, he comforts and keeps me, and His word has become the love letter of my life in Spirit and in truth.





Praying the best for you too, David
