Maggette help needed(Somewhat Victoria Secret Related)

I have a major crisis on my hands,
Pre-Baby I had bought my wife a bunch of slinky little nightgowns and other such "fun things" that she used to wear to bed. Well last night she tried to wear one, it didn't fit so well, she tried another, nope, literally she went through everything in the drawer and not one of them fit(according to her and we all know thats the most important) Needless to say her self esteem is shot, HELP WHAT SHOULD I DO?!?!?! I think she looks great, she's lost almost all of her pregnancy weight but she is really down I'm thinking about buying her something sexy but I don't know where to go since if I remember right VS is really small...... I don't know what would be a good pick me up for her???

THANKS A LOT LADIES!!

Whatever you do, don't buy her chocolates.

.....and VS carries a wide range of sizes

Heh.

Just tell her she's not fat, she's just got "more cushion for the pushin'."

Make sure to use that exact phrase.

best pick me up that I know is a great massage - a day of pampering.
And Phunk's right - VS has a variety of sizes.

Normally, I like this response. But that is usually WHEN IT IS APPROPRIATE!!! For god's sake, this is his wife and mother of his new born baby!!! :rolleyes:

I don't know, I might be wrong but when woman aren't feeling so great about their bodies, that is usually not the time to buy them any clothes, particulary something from VS.

I would say that she needs to be pampered for a day or weekend. Maybe a day or weekend at a spa.

Cue seldon deleting a post again...

Go down on her.

If you never bought your wife anything you wouldn't have this problem.

Brilliant - or you should have bought her a pair of Bro Models, they would still fit her after the pregnancy.

Right - I get it now - real funny.

If she was skinny before the baby, she won't be pleased about her figure until she's skinny again. She can either accept her new figure or do what it takes to change it, which can be a challenge. Maybe you can give her the gift of time to go to the gym or to go running or biking or whatever she likes to do for exercise - you can take care of your baby, right? And I don't know if you eat a lot of sweets, but I wouldn't be asking her to make anything like that or buy it and bring it into the house.

It's great that you are making it clear that you think she's a hottie.

My $.02.

Maybe you could show up to bed wearing the lace panties and teddy.:D

Hahahaha, POTD! and it's only 9:40 AM. I have no real advice to offer, being only 15 and all, but that was damn funny. Obviously you've never seen Laser in person, if you had, you would know that's a scary propostion.:D ;)

I'd say tell her that you absolutely will not tolerate having an overweight wife. Baby or not, she better lose it, or you'll kick her to the curb.


Too harsh?

I have a practical answer for you here. Yes, you can still get her VS stuff...but forgo the thong-and-merrywidow scene. Pick her up a short silk chemise and/or "babydoll" style nightgown. These are not "fitted" styles, but still very sexy (especially w/ the post-baby womanly curves). You will both appreciate the comfort and the sexiness.

Oh, and those thigh-high stocking things? Get her those too. :D

Get yourself to the mall man! And you're a good guy for thinking of her feelings in this regard.

Sprite

Why did I know that sprite's answer would be the best one?

Last night Gwyneth Paltrow was on Conan. She recently had a baby, and her husband wrote her a song that goes like this:

"Your cup went up from A to D
That's bad for you but fun for me"

Write that on a card or something.

i think snowsprite had a great idea. even if she isn't back to the size she was before, she -can- have clothes that fit her now and make her feel good about it. and if you can get your hands on a VS catalog, they have a much bigger selection than the shop in the mall.

and the day at the spa was also an excellent idea. i'd say go two for two, but be careful, sometimes women are still self concious about themselves and don't want to be all naked in a spa, so you'll have to gauge that one out. or maybe choose specific things like pedicure, manicure, hair, and facial type stuff, or a massage she doesn't have to get undressed for. it all depends on her there. some women woudln't care in the least at any size.

also, maybe you guys should do something like going for walks with the baby in a stroller everyday after dinner? win/win for everyone

and why not buy her some new skis and take her on a ski vacation? i'm pretty sure that would cheer me up real quick ;)

Most of the "girls" on this thread have given good advice.

Go with the maggettes' suggestions of pampering, different styles of sexy stuff. Show her you still find her irresistable.

You're sweet for doing this.

After she's about 8 months along, you could just get her a bag of flour and ask her to roll around in it.
















'cause you ain't gonna be getting any for a while anyway
Sorry:D

The maggettes have all given good advise.

These situations can be touchy. Usually it's because we put our foots in our mouths.
Bad scenario:

"Honey, none of my stuff fits, I'm fat!"
"You're not fat you look great!"
"No I don't! You're just saying that."
At this point, the worm and hook have now been cast into the water and the bobber is being watched.
"No, no, I mean it. You look great to me"
Oh snap! You just threw the old "to me" on the end. Painting yourself in a corner my friend.
"To 'you'? So you do think I'm fat!"
Think quick now, this is your time to showcase that steel trap you call a mind!
" No not fat. Sure you've gained some wei..."
*Sound of record skipping*

We have now witnesssed two, soon to be three stages here:
Denial: Gone out the window at the scale and trying on clothes.
Sadness: She was looking for support and somehow the man has turned it to the third stage-
Anger: At you. The man. She has what you want, so with that in mind, you will feel her wrath.

From here on out this scenario degenerates into scene that is not fit for description so I shall leve it at this (plus I gotta get to work).
