We have no interest or desire to have more than that. I'm already getting some ridiculous comments about it and how selfish it is. I'm sorry you have to deal with it too! People just suck sometimes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/latest-peanut-gallery-comments#post-1705993 Tue, 17 Jun 2014 19:06:12 +0000 MsLipGloss 1705993@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@dc yoga bee: @coopsmama: seriously. I just have to SMH at some comments. that's just so, so out of line! who the eff do people think they are sometimes?! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/latest-peanut-gallery-comments#post-1705990 Tue, 17 Jun 2014 19:01:53 +0000 pui 1705990@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Wow that's so awful to say... And morbid to boot. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/latest-peanut-gallery-comments#post-1705983 Tue, 17 Jun 2014 18:55:15 +0000 Espion 1705983@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Smurfette: my mother starts *every* phone conversation with "are you pregnant?" Aggravating. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/latest-peanut-gallery-comments#post-1705978 Tue, 17 Jun 2014 18:52:39 +0000 coopsmama 1705978@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@dc yoga bee: Right?! I didn't know how to respond because I was so blown away by the question so I just told her we had it all figured out and that we're happy with our two kids at this point. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/latest-peanut-gallery-comments#post-1705971 Tue, 17 Jun 2014 18:49:26 +0000 Espion 1705971@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@septca: My grandmother had 5 children, but she told me if she got pregnant again, she would've jumped off a cliff. :p </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/latest-peanut-gallery-comments#post-1705896 Tue, 17 Jun 2014 17:45:10 +0000 MsLipGloss 1705896@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Smurfette: I'm so sorry. We get that too, only from people who don't really know us but who see/meet LO. *But she's so gorgeous, how could you not have another?* On the other side, I also have a few people who tell me they are *relieved/happy* that we probably won't have another because they know how hard the pregnancy/delivery/LO's health issues were. Uh, so I'm selfish (depriving the world of a beauty) if I don't, and *asking for it* if I do. </p> <p>@blackbird: Word! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/latest-peanut-gallery-comments#post-1705882 Tue, 17 Jun 2014 17:31:19 +0000 dc yoga bee 1705882@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@coopsmama: say whaaaa!?! My jaw literally dropped.</p> <p>@Smurfette: ouch. That was really rude.</p> <p>My clients are now asking when we will have children. I want to say oh, we are going into month 8 of timed intercourse,I'll let you know if and when it works. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/latest-peanut-gallery-comments#post-1705865 Tue, 17 Jun 2014 17:19:50 +0000 Corduroy 1705865@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm sorry. Since I read your post a few hours ago I have had three separate co-worker/customer interactions where I've been asked when I'll be having #2. Mind you own business people! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/latest-peanut-gallery-comments#post-1705635 Tue, 17 Jun 2014 15:22:59 +0000 coopsmama 1705635@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wish people would realize family size is never appropriate to comment on for any reason! It's none of their business! Gah! My two will be so close in age that everyone assumes we're going for a Duggar sized brood and it's so irritating because the comments are just intrusive and rude. My aunt literally asked me what I'd be doing for birth control post-baby on Saturday. </p> <p>Stay out of my bedroom, thankyouverymuch! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/latest-peanut-gallery-comments#post-1705615 Tue, 17 Jun 2014 15:15:40 +0000 mlm2934 1705615@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Smurfette: so silly! While there are nice things about siblings, I am not especially close to mine and mostly just seem them at holidays! I certainly would not be all alone if I was an only child. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/latest-peanut-gallery-comments#post-1705590 Tue, 17 Jun 2014 15:02:22 +0000 Smurfette 1705590@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Blue: Exactly! She knows our family, and the size of it. She knows that R will never be alone. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/latest-peanut-gallery-comments#post-1705579 Tue, 17 Jun 2014 14:56:38 +0000 rachiecakes 1705579@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@blackbird: ha that's a favorite of mine ;) </p> <p>@Smurfette: my great-aunt likes to tell me if I have another she's sure I'd have a girl, so I should really do it. Um, okay? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/latest-peanut-gallery-comments#post-1705575 Tue, 17 Jun 2014 14:54:58 +0000 Mrs. Blue 1705575@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sorry, friend! That sucks to be hit with that regardless, but especially when you're still deciding if you want another and can make it work. I think sometimes it's hard for people with more than one kid or people who are close to their siblings to think beyond how much they love their own siblings or seeing their children together, but that doesn't make it right to comment and it doesn't mean their views have to be yours. R is going to be happy and loved regardless of whether you have another or not, and that's really all that matters at the end of the day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/latest-peanut-gallery-comments#post-1705569 Tue, 17 Jun 2014 14:53:08 +0000 septca 1705569@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My grandmother is the queen of telling people that you just can't *possibly* have one kid. (The horrors!!!) How inappropriate - as if anyone else has insight into why *you* would make a decision as personal as how many kids to have.</p> <p>(FWIW, I get it from the other end. Every time I mention to my mom that we might want 3 kids, she has a hissy fit.) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/latest-peanut-gallery-comments#post-1705561 Tue, 17 Jun 2014 14:49:58 +0000 blackbird 1705561@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Good lord. </p> [attach=618/14/n7bwfa.236x165.d5870e8190fa8ead9f1c350f03f23807.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/latest-peanut-gallery-comments#post-1705560 Tue, 17 Jun 2014 14:49:29 +0000 Adira 1705560@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>OMG, some people have no sense and say the craziest things!! Sorry you had to listen to that, especially since I know it's a hard decision for you guys to be potentially done at one! :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/latest-peanut-gallery-comments#post-1705555 Tue, 17 Jun 2014 14:47:09 +0000 Smurfette 1705555@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was talking to my two Aunts on Sunday and they said something about time to have #2. I said no, we aren't ready and I am not sure we are. Thinking about just having one. One Aunt said, why would you do that to R? She will be all alone when DH and you die. </p> <p>Really? That isn't a reason to have another child! We have other family! </p>
