This has made me nauseous all day. Especially when I've read of aparents that say, "This is totally normal - I did this!" I just think....REALLY??

I mean, I was a waitress during my pregnancy, waiting my last table two days before DD was born. To be fair, I was actually a bartender, but I sometimes picked up a waitressing shift. I guess what most of my customers probably didn't know was that I had just received my Masters degree too...I always had customers assuming all kinds of things because I was a bartender...but THIS assumption? Inexcusable to me.

And yes, I understand the argument that maybe they didn't realize that she was pregnant. Or that they didn't want HER baby, but maybe she knew someone. No matter what, I can't get behind networking in this way for a baby.

I can't imagine being a waitress receiving this card and thinking, "Oh! I think so and so is pregnant...maybe these lovely people that just had the club sandwich and fries could adopt her baby!!!" I guess it works for some people, I just wouldn't be a part of it, on any side.

I even read of someone responding to this somewhere out there in cyberland that said they had a full marketing plan laid out for their networking plans...

I don't know...I just don't get it.
