is there any idiom that describes a situation?

[Romero]

I believe he's describing a situation where a man or anybody who hasn't been pregnant couldn't understand what it's like. Perhaps the person is criticizing the pregnant woman for being a whiner, as if pregnancy isn't really a big deal.



An idiom could be: "You wouldn't understand. Being pregnant is like..."

I thought so too Romero, but then his last post in this thread seemed different.

[Romero]

Yeah, he says it doesn't necessarily have to be about pregnancy but some sort of similar situation.

I can't really think of anything in English other than what you mentioned.

Sorry, jaysings, I can't think of any. I'm not sure if there are any popular idioms for it.



What would be a Chinese expression?

In Chinese, we uses a phrase, "夏虫不可语冰", to criticize someone whose comment is over what he/she knew.

Just curious, why are you so determined to find an expression to describe this situation? I struggle with English at times myself, but I don't really care if I have a saying in hand for every single situation. I can get by in most conversations, but I do NOT quite have native speaker fluency. I am perfect in every other way though.  ;)



Are you studying for an English test for university entrance?

I can't think of any, sorry! Few men would dare criticize a pregnant woman for being a whiner. There would be a lot more hell to pay than just idioms.



The only idiom I know of a pregnant woman telling a man is "I hate you for what you've done to me".

all women are whiners.....pregnant women whine more than usual.....now move on
