It is so, so frustrating to get asked so frequently. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/stop-asking-me#post-1384853 Wed, 29 Jan 2014 14:35:23 +0000 LuLu Mom 1384853@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>people are so nosey! We have a 16 month old &amp; we have been getting questions since she was born. I'm just like man can I enjoy the one I have for awhile before answering these questions! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/stop-asking-me#post-1384830 Wed, 29 Jan 2014 14:30:47 +0000 tequiero21 1384830@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sorry you are getting frustrated. Unfortunately, it's just a way I think many people try to have a conversation. I get the opposite, since I have twins... Oh, one of each? Nice, you're all done! Um. No, we want to have three. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/stop-asking-me#post-1384731 Wed, 29 Jan 2014 14:05:12 +0000 Mrs. Oatmeal 1384731@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So frustrating, I'm sorry.<br /> We're already getting asked about the next one, and DD is only 5 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/stop-asking-me#post-1384727 Wed, 29 Jan 2014 14:04:02 +0000 bookwormmama 1384727@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ugh. I feel like everyone expects kids to be 2 or so years apart since that's the most common age spacing (at least in my experience). I have a feeling we will get this question a lot because we want a 3.5-4.5 year gap between kids. My cousin's baby just turned 1 and my mom was already asking if I knew when they would have their next one! Nope and it's not any of our business! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/stop-asking-me#post-1384548 Wed, 29 Jan 2014 13:17:43 +0000 AmeliaBedilia 1384548@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That is so annoying. Your uterus is no one's business except your DH and doctor. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/stop-asking-me#post-1384533 Wed, 29 Jan 2014 13:14:32 +0000 cascademom 1384533@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@KT326: We're in the middle of boundary testing and tantrums. We had an awful night two days ago where I was ready to be done having kids. Last night, minimal tantrum and ate 2 slices of quiche, happy as a bug. Somedays, I'm so ready, others not. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/stop-asking-me#post-1384518 Wed, 29 Jan 2014 13:10:57 +0000 KT326 1384518@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@cascademom: It is tough! DS is 22 months and some days I feel like I could handle another one and some days I can't imagine it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/stop-asking-me#post-1384515 Wed, 29 Jan 2014 13:09:42 +0000 KT326 1384515@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@autumnlove: Ugh that is annoying! Luckily most of my immediate coworkers (the ones who know not to ask!) started their families when they were older so they think I am young! It is nice to hear that I have plenty of time, even if my family doesn't agree! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/stop-asking-me#post-1384508 Wed, 29 Jan 2014 13:08:20 +0000 cascademom 1384508@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We've gotten some of this. LO is 17 months old. Right now, I still don't feel ready for another one. I want another one, but just not there yet. I worry that the longer we wait, the harder it'll be to get pregnant with the next one. Ugh, I didn't think that the planning for #2 would be this tough. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/stop-asking-me#post-1384504 Wed, 29 Jan 2014 13:07:12 +0000 KT326 1384504@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mae: wow! Yes, people are weird. At least I never got that while I was pregnant. Since having DS I have definitely made sure I don't ask people those questions! I only talk about it if the other person brings it up first! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/stop-asking-me#post-1384500 Wed, 29 Jan 2014 13:06:46 +0000 autumnlove 1384500@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm sorry! My parents and inlaws ask me all the time because they think I'm ancient. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/stop-asking-me#post-1384498 Wed, 29 Jan 2014 13:05:13 +0000 KT326 1384498@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@HLK208: @mfa_lady: Thanks ladies. My mom's comment just sent me over the edge this morning! </p> <p>It doesn't help that DS had major tantrums last night and this morning, I can't imagine having to take care of a newborn right now! I want to get past this stage before that happens. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/stop-asking-me#post-1384494 Wed, 29 Jan 2014 13:04:00 +0000 Mae 1384494@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>ugh, sorry. I'm still cooking #1 so I haven't really gotten this yet, but my mom has! She said that people keep asking her about our family plans and when we'll have our next one. She's like ummmmmm how about we let her give birth to the first and worry about if or when there will be a second later? People are weird. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/stop-asking-me#post-1384486 Wed, 29 Jan 2014 13:01:48 +0000 mfa_lady 1384486@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ugh. That sounds super frustrating. I'm sorry, lady! Fingers crossed that you guys can still have fun trying when you're ready. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/stop-asking-me#post-1384479 Wed, 29 Jan 2014 13:00:30 +0000 HLK208 1384479@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So frustrating. We got this non-stop when DS turned 2...it's like the magic age when people start asking. Ugh. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/stop-asking-me#post-1384467 Wed, 29 Jan 2014 12:57:25 +0000 KT326 1384467@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS is going to be 2 at the end of March. Every day this week I have been asked when we are going to have another one. By family. By friends. By coworkers. By strangers. Ugh. I am so tired of it. </p> <p>Before pregnancy I had non-existent cycles so we had to use fertility treatments. But recently it seems like my body might be trying to have a somewhat regular, though still way unpredictable cycle. It would be nice to try on our own for awhile before we go back to the RE. </p> <p>Plus this time I want to actually keep our treatments a secret so we can surprise our friends and family. I love all the cute announcements and I'm kinda bummed we didn't get to do that with our first.</p> <p>It doesn't help that my mom posted on my facebook this morning telling me I'm "not getting any younger". Gee, thanks. I'm only 30!</p> <p>Phew. Thanks for letting me rant! </p>
