Rude Questions Part 2 | Observations and Reaction

 

My initial post sharing 5 rude questions and how to respond, received a tremendous response from The Daily Connoisseur audience (and beyond!). It seems that most people have one question they have been asked (or asked repeatedly) that grates on them over time. 

I received an outpouring of comments, both public and private, about your life experiences with these questions. In today's video I'm sharing my observations and reactions. 
There are a few key takeaways that I'll write about here, but I do encourage you to watch the video to hear a more in-depth discussion. 
⚜️Don't put yourself down when met with a rude question. Many people said their response to "When are you due?" was, "I'm not pregnant, I'm just fat!" You don't need to put yourself down in order to make light of the intrusive question. 
⚜️Avoid saying something rude back. It can be so tempting. Sooo tempting, sometimes, to say something rude to someone who is rude to you. But avoid this temptation and take the high road. You will never regret it and will come off as a class act.
⚜️Wanting privacy does not equal being ashamed. It is perfectly acceptable to guard your information when you first meet someone. People need to show themselves approved to us before we trust them with information about ourselves. Follow your instinct. Some people might accuse you of being ashamed of who you are if you don't want to share various aspects of your life. Don't pay those people any attention. They will try to shame you into feeling bad for wanting to maintain your privacy. Don't fall for it.

Comment of the Week 

Charlotte K. writes, "Isn’t there a quote that says, “There is beauty in the mundane”? I have been a homemaker for 45 years, and always gently corrected those who called me a “housewife”! 😉 It isn’t always fun, but so rewarding to look back on with satisfaction that while I was not always the most skillful or best household manager, I always cherished and was grateful for my life at home. I appreciate your homemaking series and love your outlook on life, Jennifer."
