Yeah, one of my friends "joked" with me "oh you're one of those people." I think there is truth in every joke. When people ask me more than once if I am going to find out, when I know they have not just forgotten but are just pestering me I say, I told you we are not finding out, my answer will not change, so I would appreciate it if you stop asking. Politely, but clearly. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-were-team-green-1#post-1883483 Tue, 30 Sep 2014 20:35:40 +0000 Espion 1883483@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I get back by teasing the crap out of whoever gives me a hard time. Team Green is my choice, though, so it might make a difference since it wasn't your idea to begin with. :/ </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-were-team-green-1#post-1883480 Tue, 30 Sep 2014 20:34:27 +0000 MrsBucky 1883480@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It hasn't bothered me, but I am surprised at how many people have SuCH a strong reaction to us not finding out! I know my mom would prefer we find out, but has been very low key about it. I'm so grateful for that! But doesn't help much with advice. On a funny note, I had a coworkers call me a dirty hippy because we are team green- haha! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-were-team-green-1#post-1883474 Tue, 30 Sep 2014 20:32:49 +0000 Charm54 1883474@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A couple people were annoyed but I just tried to annoy them as best I could. Towards the end I got a lot of positive comments from people... The labor and delivery staff were especially excited we were TG since it is getting more and more rare around these parts </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-were-team-green-1#post-1883461 Tue, 30 Sep 2014 20:21:59 +0000 Foodnerd81 1883461@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yeah it annoyed a lot of people and they let it be known. None as blatant as your mom though. I don't get it- how does t bother other people so much?? </p> <p>Mostly people complained about not being able to buy the cutest clothes. Ummmmm you can buy from my registry if you need to buy something ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-were-team-green-1#post-1883436 Tue, 30 Sep 2014 20:12:16 +0000 MsMini 1883436@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had a few people who made negative comments, but I basically told them to shove it because I am blunt like that ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-were-team-green-1#post-1883428 Tue, 30 Sep 2014 20:06:34 +0000 MrsKoala 1883428@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>All the time. Half the people were like I don't understand why you don't find out or I don't know how you can plan without knowing! Honestly, just give it time and hopefully, she'll get over it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-were-team-green-1#post-1883409 Tue, 30 Sep 2014 19:52:11 +0000 Aria 1883409@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Did you ever have anyone give you a hard time about your choice to not find out the sex? </p> <p>My husband is really excited about the surprise of not knowing, and I was on the fence, so I decided to go with it. My parents have known that we would do this since before I was pregnant. I am now 20 weeks and I have heard my mom complain about it every single time I talk to her, and I talk to her at least once a week, usually more. She mentions it in a "joking" way, like she's teasing me, but at this point it's really starting to get old and it doesn't feel like teasing any more, just like a giant guilt trip. I have already told her once to not give my DH a hard time about it because she was talking about calling him and bugging him until he changed his mind. I guess since she feels like she is complaining to me, and not him that it's okay. </p> <p>I'm at the point where I feel like I need to say something again, but she can be very sensitive and I need help coming up with a nice way to ask her to stop it that hopefully won't make her defensive. Any suggestions or experience with this? </p>
