While many moms are embarrassed by their post-pregnancy bodies and can’t stand the sight of loose skin and stretch marks, one mom was so proud of all that her body had done for her in the last year so didn’t think twice to wear a bikini while going to the pool with her baby.
Kansas City mom Lexi Sinclair decided to spend the afternoon at the local pool with her 4-month-old baby boy, however, shortly after arriving and setting all of her things down, another older woman at the pool came up to her to ask about her baby.
“While putting Christians pool hat on, a woman (maybe mid 50s) comes up and makes conversation with me about Christian. Asking me his age, how much he weighs, how he sleeps, etc,” Sinclair wrote in a post to her Facebook. “She then proceeded to tell me that the men at the pool would feel more comfortable if I was in a one-piece swimsuit because a bikini isn’t appropriate for a mother, especially one who’s ‘still recovering.'”
Sinclair was furious that this total stranger had the nerve to shame her for how her body looked because it was making other men at the pool uncomfortable.
“Anyone who knows me knows I had a few words for this crazy, ballsy woman. But instead I just smiled, kissed my son and told her, ‘I’m proud of my body. In just one year I’ve gained 50 pounds, and lost 37. I’ve grown a human and given birth to a beautiful miracle. My body provided food for my child.'”
“So, no, my body might not be the best sight for other men to see. My stretch marks and tummy pudge might not be sexy. But they’re proof that I’ve done something amazing, and I have a man that loves me and finds me even sexier and more beautiful now. To be honest, I don’t give a tiny rats ass what other men, or a prissy twit like you think. Have a nice day though.'”
