I was just talking with a friend who has one 4 year old and he said they get questioned non stop about having more. I think people are just curious and like to talk. But It makes me understand the defensive tone in the video.</p> <p>@Mrs. Jacks: thanks! Peoples reactions are one of my husbands concerns about possibly adopting again. He just keeps saying "everyone will think it's crazy." I just keep telling him we are crazy but it's just the right amount of crazy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/too-cute-birth-announcement/page/2#post-2150297 Mon, 20 Apr 2015 15:07:58 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 2150297@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Train: those comments make me so mad for you! I'm so sorry. Those people are lucky if they are half the parent you are!!! I bet your house is the most fun place on the block! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/too-cute-birth-announcement#post-2150280 Mon, 20 Apr 2015 15:00:03 +0000 shellio 2150280@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Train: That is so rude. I guess people just feel like they want to make conversation about everything! I think big families are awesome and both you and the people who made this video make me want to have one more after my next one (2 with one on the way right now). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/too-cute-birth-announcement#post-2150274 Mon, 20 Apr 2015 14:55:46 +0000 78h2o 2150274@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I saw this the other day and watched it several times. I love it! I hate how some people are negative/judgy about the decisions others make re: how many kids to have/not to have. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/too-cute-birth-announcement#post-2150267 Mon, 20 Apr 2015 14:50:09 +0000 Mrs. Train 2150267@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@shellio: I can't even tell you how many negative comments I have gotten. People have said they hope my baby machine is turned off, that I should tell my husband to leave me alone, that I make them want to take their birth control. all kinds of stuff. It can get really old. </p> <p>@Mrs. Pen: I can imagine with six your mom did get a lot of comments. People do say things to my kids and sometimes it drives me crazy!!</p> <p>@Mrs. Jacks: I agree we are all crazy!! :) I don't mind. My house is loud and crazy but we have fun </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/too-cute-birth-announcement#post-2150040 Mon, 20 Apr 2015 13:06:17 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 2150040@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@teawithpaloma: sounds like a fun family! In my high school there was a two doctor family with 5 girls, very similar... All were musicians and Irish dancers :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/too-cute-birth-announcement#post-2150034 Mon, 20 Apr 2015 13:03:04 +0000 teawithpaloma 2150034@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Jacks: OH right! My super Catholic Aunt and Uncle left it up to NFP and had 8 kids. I think she worked part-time up until the 4th kid then grew dissatisfied with practice and did home schooling for some kids and sent others to school depending on their needs. They just made it work somehow in the early years. My uncle is CMO at a inner-city faith-based medical center so they really just stretched a dollar and their energies. They also did Montessori when possible, had no TV in their home, and kids always did activities (Irish dancing, Suzuki, etc.) and all their kids are so bright and lovely. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/too-cute-birth-announcement#post-2149932 Mon, 20 Apr 2015 12:21:51 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 2149932@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@teawithpaloma: It was something about your aunt being a physician with 8 kids. I'm now in a physician mom group and it seems most of us have 3 or more kids, which is kind of surprising in some ways yet not in others.</p> <p>I really do think I'm stopping at 3 though. My parents had four and it was constant crazy-ness! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/too-cute-birth-announcement#post-2149842 Mon, 20 Apr 2015 11:26:33 +0000 teawithpaloma 2149842@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Jacks: I thought I came off a little anti-LDS which I wouldn't want to be known for at all! Basically I just loved that they surprised us with the alternative look of tattoos and cool haircuts. </p> <p>The other thoughts were just rambles which I am sure will come up another time! :wink: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/too-cute-birth-announcement#post-2149194 Sun, 19 Apr 2015 18:50:05 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 2149194@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@teawithpaloma: oh no! I was going to respond to all your comments. Just got busy. Had so much to say in response :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/too-cute-birth-announcement#post-2149174 Sun, 19 Apr 2015 18:16:00 +0000 Mrs. Pen 2149174@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@shellio: @jedeve: I thought it seemed defensive too- but I get why they'd do that. I come from a family of six and it was definitely inappropriate the amount of people who made comments to ME when I was a kid. It was totally my mothers prerogative to have six children- she loved us all dearly, we always had food to eat, clothes to wear, etc- she shouldn't have had to ever defend herself. So it is sad that more and more women these days feel that way. </p> <p>Aside from that bit- it was really cute, and she is so gorgeous and incredible talented!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/too-cute-birth-announcement#post-2148997 Sun, 19 Apr 2015 11:01:27 +0000 teawithpaloma 2148997@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <br /><p><i>This comment has been deleted by the original poster.</i></p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/too-cute-birth-announcement#post-2148969 Sun, 19 Apr 2015 09:51:18 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 2148969@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This is what I read:<br /> <a href="http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-2320235/Why-stressful-number-children--BUT-mothers-MORE-relaxed.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-2320235/Why-stressful-number-children--BUT-mothers-MORE-relaxed.html</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/too-cute-birth-announcement#post-2148966 Sun, 19 Apr 2015 09:49:55 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 2148966@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@teawithpaloma: I think we are pretty sure we are done. Maybe if I started at 30 instead of 38, but I'm pretty tired this time around and Mr. Jacks is pretty frazzled.</p> <p>But I will say, when we went out yesterday, we had at least 3 people stop us and say, "You are done now, right?!" (And this in SLC where families are often quite large.) I pointed it out to Mr. Jacks and he was like, "yeah, that is pretty annoying!" </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/too-cute-birth-announcement#post-2148964 Sun, 19 Apr 2015 09:45:52 +0000 teawithpaloma 2148964@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Jacks: Yea maybe that's it!

Or maybe it was about being more satisfied with 4 than 3? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/too-cute-birth-announcement#post-2148676 Sat, 18 Apr 2015 18:44:17 +0000 teawithpaloma 2148676@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Loved This!

I didn't see the defensiveness... But I suppose the premise itself was defensive. It looked to me like they were having a whole lot of fun doing it though :) </p>
