I don’t know how to respond when people ask about my daughter’s due date and their first response is to say what her astrological sign will be.

I literally stand there just like, “okay, if you say so”

Is there a better way to respond?

i was born a virgo and people would randomly tell my family members that of course I would be cold, logical and calculating* before I was born (and then me as a kid). like I can't imagine being so tied up to signs that you feel ok saying that about a baby?

*untrue, i'm an emotional anxious mess

“Wait, say that again!” *pause for them to say that again* “This changes everything!” And then run away

oh my god mooood.

part of me is like, oh, lots of people care about this, it's fine. but part of me can't help be annoyed that I'm 10 weeks pregnant and you're already making assumptions about what this kid will be like based on their due date

astrology & peoples feelings on it reminds me of what my sibling said when I asked them about tarot
"it is a thing that makes some people feel better, it is not a thing that makes me feel better"

Perfect time for a John Oliver-style “cool”.
