Today, I was babysitting my 4-month-old niece at the park, when a woman came up to me and said, "Don't worry, dear. You'll get your figure back soon." FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I was taking my 3 month-old nephew for a walk in his stroller, when a lady stopped me to coo over him. Then she patted my stomach and said, "Don't worry, you'll lose the baby weight soon." I've never had a baby. FML
Today, while at a hotel for vacation with my brother and his wife, I was watching their two month-old daughter in the waterpark when a woman came up to me and said, "Aww, your kid is so adorable! Don't worry, you'll get your figure back in no time." I'm a fourteen year-old girl. FML
Today, I was babysitting a three-year-old. She asked me what was wrong with my belly. I had to explain to her that I'm just fat. Twice. FML
Today, I was babysitting my niece. While we were at the grocery store, she pointed at me and loudly announced, “She says she’s on a diet, but she eats cookies in bed!” She wasn’t wrong. The cashier raised an eyebrow. FML
Today, my 4-year-old daughter asked me when I was going to be skinny like her daycare lady. FML
Today, I ran into an old friend at the store with my infant daughter. As we caught up, she assured me that I could get rid of all my baby weight from the pregnancy. If only I had actually been pregnant. My wife carried her and looks fantastic. FML
Today, I was hanging out at a friend's house. Her adorable 5 year-old sister came up, gave me a hug, and said, "You're fat. When are you going home?" FML
Today, I was playing with my kid cousin outside. It was warm, so I was wearing my new bikini, and felt pretty good about myself. She suddenly turns to me and asks, "How come your tits are so small when you have such a big belly?" FML
Today, I was on the phone with my little sister as she explained that all these guys like her now that she's so skinny and beautiful. My mom must have overheard me tell my sister that at least I was a cuter child, because my mom laughed and said, "Yeah right, we had to buy you fat kid diapers." FML
Today, I showed the kids I was babysitting a picture of my daughter, and the little girl asked, "You have a baby in your belly?" I said, "No, she's not in my belly anymore," and the little girl replied, "But it's BIG," and patted my stomach. FML

That's the kind of situation where you're torn between feeling grateful because the sentiment is nice or insulted because you (indirectly) just got called fat.

You should have replied with: "Don't worry dear. Maybe someday you won't feel the need to publicly judge other people by their looks".

Am I the only one who finds it weird that OP took a 4 month old to a park?

yes. It's perfectly normal to take a small child to a playpark.

but at 4 months they can barely hold up their own heads...

she could've easily just been pushing the baby around in a stroller.

My niece who is now nine months, always went to parks and loved the nature. We've been going since she was born.. Not the winter, lol.

Being an Aunt myself I love my two nieces and Nephew but I explain this is my niece and then I tear this bitch a new one and explain how Society is the reason girls have eating disorders like Bulimia and that if anyone ever makes my nieces or even my nephew feel like they need to be a certain way to be accepted I will drive up to their house and make them swallow their teeth

I think she was just trying to be friendly and hopeful, not knowing the situation.

Never comment on a pregnancy. On the other hand, Girls, if your belly protrudes further forward than your breasts, get ready for pregnant comments from those who don't take this advice.

The woman didn't think she was pregnant. She thought she still had baby weight after giving birth. I gained a little weight during my first pregnancy and was a little chubby, not fat.

I swear some people just don't have brains. No worries, OP. She'll open her mouth like that to the wrong person one day. Good on you for not kicking her butt!

as long as you are happy about how you look it doesnt matter what she calls you. even though i think it was really rude.

One day an old lady asked me if I was pregnant. My mum grandma and cousin were with me and I was 13. Seems rude when people assume things like that.

I hear ya. I was walking around Walmart with my baby cousin (1 yr at the time) and some lady asked if she was mine. I told her no, but unfortunately my name is Mollie, which a lot of little kids mispronounce as "mommy." Little Keri picked that precise moment to exclaim, "Mommy, look! Dora!" Now I looked like a young mom and a liar.....I was 13.
