I just restarted at work about a month ago, and one of my coworkers, who I thought was a good friend before I had DD, literally asks me every day if I cried today because I miss DD. I want to smack her in the face. :32:

"What a strange question, why do you ask?"

Sorry. :hug5:

I'm pretty non-violent, but it'd be hard not to say "whenever you ask that, it makes me want to smack you." I wouldn't actually say it, but boy, would I want to. I would say something though.

And BTW, she's not your friend.

:hug:

"Why, would you feel better if I was crying? Please pass the paper clips."

Say something like 'why? is my mascara smudged?' or even more to the point 'why do you ask me that every single day? it is such a weird question!'

That is really annoying. I would just flat out ask her why she keeps asking, b/c it is bugging the crap out of you. I think that will shut her up. I've noticed that with some ppl who are rude like that, you just have to be blunt in order for them to get the msg.

I would say, "No, but thanks for reminding me. I need to go do that now."

"why would you ask such a personal question in such a negative way?"
"how is my private life any of your business"
"VAGINA"

This co-worker of yours reminds me of my MIL. DH was deployed during part of our engagement, and MIL used to call and ask me every day if I missed him so much that I cried every day, and how did I function? :30: I think she was projecting her own feelings onto me, and it really would have made her feel better if I had said "YES!" I shut her up by telling her that "No, I don't cry every day because I am too busy. I have a life and a job". MIL doesn't call and ask me that during deployments anymore, but I'm pretty sure she thinks I'm a b!tch, lol. Your co-worker might be projecting her feelings onto you, she might be criticizing your choice to be a WOHM, or she might just be evil. Whichever it is, if you tell her the same thing I told my MIL, she might leave you alone!
