How much information is too much information?
In these days when there seems to be no boundaries limiting self disclosure, what is going too far? In a recent interview with school staff, including the male Principal, a mother of a prospective student described the difficulty of the student’s birth, and the fact that Mother Dear had required stitches after the birth. May I just add that this is a twelve year old student going on the waiting list for next year, not a new born going on a kindergarten list!
Yeah, that’s definitely weird.
I guess we can be thankful that the Dad never launched into any vasectomy stories!
That info should be between her and her OB-GYN, and nobody else.
I have a cousin who is an OB-GYN, and he has women imagining they are in love with him, all the time. It all seems like way too much information for romance to enter! (He is happily married by the way!)
Maybe I have too many hangups for my own good, but I have to have a female doctor for that kind of thing. I just can’t bring myself to go to a male doctor.
I find it as weird with a female dr. They always chat when my mind is on anything but chatter!
That is Too Much Information.
It would have become WAY Too Much Information had she offered to show the scars.
We can only hope that they child doesn’t get accepted – can you imagine parent teacher meetings?
LOL – what a strange world we live in. My mother would’ve died before disclosing such information (and actually I know very little about her 4 deliveries). I’ve been known to tell a comedic version of my first child’s birth but it requires a couple of glasses of wine and his admission to (anything) does not depend on the story….
Me too – though my story is more about Mr FD not listening to instructions and arriving too late! Are you surprised? I wasn’t…
That is odd. I blame TV shows and the gory detail folk go into about their bodies and personal lives.
We stick to comedy versions of the births when they crop up – Jo was born so quickly they had me standing at first slip, Heather took so long to be born they put us on the tea rota with the nurses . . . And Jo still thinks salad tongs and a toilet plunger had some part to play in Heather’s birth! (Failed venteuse, forceps delivery ……too much information? Lol)
One more woman who should’ve never had children. Reeks of her self-centeredness detectable halfway around the world!
