It's such a rude question... I never knew how to answer them (because it wasn't planned) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/was-the-baby-an-accident#post-1251503 Sat, 30 Nov 2013 18:59:14 +0000 anandam 1251503@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@nana87: This was my MIL's first question! Actually it was, "Was this a mistake?" We'd even told her we were hoping to get pregnant around this time, and we've been married almost 2 years. It was very weird. FIL (who found out separately) said, "Weren't you going to wait until your careers were more stable?" Thanks for that, guys. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/was-the-baby-an-accident#post-1251219 Sat, 30 Nov 2013 13:49:01 +0000 nana87 1251219@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Greentea: @Andrea: @kml636: @BabyBoecksMom: ugh sorry you guys have gotten this too! so rude!</p> <p>@lemondrop: bwahaha I wish you were there instead of me to take her to task! :wink: </p> <p>@Anagram: yeah I laughed it off last night but it was still bothering me anyway! it's so ridiculous--we've been married 3 years and are both around 30 so most people who actually know us have been more like "I knew it!" than anything else. </p> <p>@runnerd: that might be true! she doesn't have kids, but also doesn't have much tact in general! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/was-the-baby-an-accident#post-1251202 Sat, 30 Nov 2013 13:34:22 +0000 Greentea 1251202@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@runnerd: so true. I think a lot of people are like that in general. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/was-the-baby-an-accident#post-1251180 Sat, 30 Nov 2013 12:59:11 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 1251180@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ugh - this happened to me, too. I don't understand whow that's an appropriate question to ask anyone. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/was-the-baby-an-accident#post-1251150 Sat, 30 Nov 2013 12:21:10 +0000 Anagram 1251150@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was asked that only once. I LOL at it though because I think it's hilarious that someone could think DH and I made it to the age of 32 without knowing how babies ate made and that we wouldn't realize having sex could produce a baby. Just.... Lol. </p> <p>I really wanted to wide eye them and be all " I STILL don't know how it happened!" </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/was-the-baby-an-accident#post-1251145 Sat, 30 Nov 2013 12:17:39 +0000 mlm2934 1251145@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's absolutely rude, but I think some people react like that because they just aren't ready to have kids themselves and can only react to if they were you (or at least that's been true in my circle of friends). Not that I know whether this lady has kids :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/was-the-baby-an-accident#post-1251105 Sat, 30 Nov 2013 11:24:04 +0000 lemondrop 1251105@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@.twist.: lol, I think Monday is 25 weeks, I'm sleeping like crap, peeing constantly, and know it's only going to get worse from here (it turns out you only forget the bad pregnancy stuff for so long, then the memories come flooding back)- I'm just waiting for my next victim to show their face so I can unleash my pent up rage. Wish I could take on everyone's idiots for them, it's so fulfilling to yell at complete strangers ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/was-the-baby-an-accident#post-1251090 Sat, 30 Nov 2013 11:10:24 +0000 kml636 1251090@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>People are SO rude. I was asked the same by a coworker.<br /> Umm been married over three years, what are these people thinking! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/was-the-baby-an-accident#post-1251087 Sat, 30 Nov 2013 11:04:50 +0000 .twist. 1251087@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lemondrop: LOL "to end them all" !!!! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/was-the-baby-an-accident#post-1251085 Sat, 30 Nov 2013 11:00:19 +0000 Andrea 1251085@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yeah, my parents asked "was it planned?" right away. I was a little annoyed! There are lots of other things to say. :-p </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/was-the-baby-an-accident#post-1251080 Sat, 30 Nov 2013 10:57:49 +0000 lemondrop 1251080@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Being at the prego rage stage, I would have unleashed on her poor stupid soul. She would have gotten an etiquette lesson to end them all. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/was-the-baby-an-accident#post-1251072 Sat, 30 Nov 2013 10:47:09 +0000 Greentea 1251072@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was asked that by dh's coworker when first meeting. He asked if it was planned while i was super pregnant.<br /> @nana87: haha. No boundaries I guess! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/was-the-baby-an-accident#post-1251061 Sat, 30 Nov 2013 10:34:22 +0000 swedishfish 1251061@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would've been speechless! How rude! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/was-the-baby-an-accident#post-1251058 Sat, 30 Nov 2013 10:31:06 +0000 nana87 1251058@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Never mind the fact that absolutely not, but who asks that?? Especially as the very first thing that comes out of her mouth the first time seeing a pregnant person? Oh, and then puts her hands all over my belly. Not to mention, this isn't someone we're actually close to--she's the girlfriend of one of dh's high school friends. </p>
