I feel so bad for you, what happened with those kids. That kind of garbage can really sting. Here I am, 60 years old, and I can still come close to tears when I recall being 25, enormously pregnant, and I was in the grocery store. I had barely been able to get behind the steering wheel of the car with my big belly (I was a week from my due date, and Noah weighed just under 11lbs. at birth). There were 2 girls in the store, probably ten years younger than I was. Stupid girls were following me through a couple of aisles and teasing me, laughing. I feel embarrassed to say it, but I left my cart of groceries, left the store, drove home, and didn't go out again until Noah was born. I loved my pregnant body, but those girls made me feel ashamed. And here 34 years later it still hurts.

I hope those kids feel ashamed of their rotten behavior toward you when they look back on it, and learn never to do such a thing again.

Thank you, and I'm sorry you dealt with that, that's terrible that you felt you couldn't go out after that

I do hope they do learn from it someday
