There are worse flubs the sister could have made. She sounds like she has zero social skills and needs more time around normal people.
Perhaps I’m in the minority, but I think a big part of this little incident was the guy’s compulsion to “call out” his sister’s behavior and text her and explain to her that she was out of line and that her social behavior ought to be better.
Is that really necessary?
We are adults. Adults don’t change. If she’s a jerk, she will stay a jerk. Being a male “Karen” and lecturing her about her apparent shortcomings is just a way for this guy to feel better about himself and how he “stands up for his wife”.
Seems like that both brother and sister are sort of jerks. Just roll with it, man. Let people be people. You don’t have to straighten out everyone you see.
I look pregnant and it doesn’t bother me when people that I look pregnant. If it bothered me, I’d do more about it than I do.
People say stuff like that. It happened to me when I was younger. I found that saying, no, just fat! while smiling flustered people too much.
It is a bad thing to say because of the possibility of miscarriage or infertility, so I might mention that to someone like hi sister. But I wouldn’t tell them it was rude. I’d say something like “I have learned not to say stuff like that because of the possibility of ... “ instead of saying that it is a rude thing to say.
So she was socially awkward, but he was a bit of a jerk, imho.
I learned early on that you never congratulate a woman on her pregnancy unless she mentions it first. You may think that she is 9 months pregnant, but she could only be fat.
Just answer. “you’re right, I better switch to light beer. Oh and your dress makes you look heavy. I had one like it and threw it away. Then your bother decided he’d use it for a grease rag to change oil in his truck. How’s your mom?”
Ain’t no end to getting even. Just saying.
Reminds me of my friend, Jane, who has a bit of a tummy, I will admit. She told me one day she went into Starbucks and got a coffee and went out on the street and lit a cigarette, and was walking down the street drinking her coffee and smoking her cigarette and a woman came up to her and angrily chastised her for smoking and drinking coffee while pregnant. She thought it hilarious.
I always ask fat females if they are pregnant or just fat. No harm if they’re pregnant. If they’re fat then it’s a wake up call to hit the gym and get a man. That way you can be fat and pregnant.
Wasn’t there a movie with the line “Are you pregnant or just fat?”
My sister told my wife she looks pregnant — the problem is she’s not>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Hey maybe wifey IS pregnant,and your sister might know who by?
Maybe wifey had a mifepristone induced abortion?
Be careful when dealing in generalities.
My very pregnant wife and I worked together and coming to work one morning, we got on an elevator with four men. One of the guys was a heavyset smart ass & said something to the effect that my wife put on few pounds. The guys in the elevator groaned but my wife turned to him and said, my weight goes away next month, how about yours? This was in the 90s and even then, a line had been crossed but my wife’s reply made everyone laugh instead of worrying about getting called into a HR meeting.
Better another woman say this, imagine the eruption if a man suggested it.
Maybe just prone to a pot belly. An otherwise cute girl at the gym has that. My wife suggested she was pregnant too, but only to me at least.
Spring diet time. At least it is sister and not husband asking!
Well, does she have a bigger gut than @$$? It may be indelicate but it’s not complicated. Sisters can be that way.
Possible made up social faux pas clickbait...so what?..someone thought that a protuberant belly is a pregnancy? I’m cryin’....generates clicks....

After my wife gave birth, they pumped her so full of fluid that she was heavier the day AFTER giving birth! She was struggling down a hallway and someone told her it would be so much easier after giving birth...”That was [multiple expletives deleted] yesterday!”
Oooooh. Bad move, pal.
I’d make her cut out excess sugars and do planks.
