I know having kids is hard work. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-comments-have-you-heard-about-your-child-spacing#post-292716 Wed, 12 Sep 2012 21:00:04 +0000 tequiero21 292716@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@pastemoo: haha all good. i hate it, but will just answer, hmmm, not that i know of. lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-comments-have-you-heard-about-your-child-spacing#post-292702 Wed, 12 Sep 2012 20:45:21 +0000 Mrs. Train 292702@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@pastemoo: yep a lady in the grocery store.

That would be like me walking up to a friend and saying, wow, you bought another car, that's pretty expensive for someone in your tax bracket isn't it? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-comments-have-you-heard-about-your-child-spacing#post-292674 Wed, 12 Sep 2012 20:21:37 +0000 Mrs. Sunglasses 292674@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>wow people are insane. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-comments-have-you-heard-about-your-child-spacing#post-292671 Wed, 12 Sep 2012 20:17:27 +0000 BSB 292671@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh, wow.

Are you kidding? I know you aren't but that is horrible! People are allowed to have as many babies as they can take care of! So much judging! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-comments-have-you-heard-about-your-child-spacing#post-292639 Wed, 12 Sep 2012 20:01:00 +0000 Mrs. Train 292639@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I get wow that's a lot of kids.<br /> You have your hands full.<br /> I hope your baby machine is turned off for awhile.<br /> Wow and I thought two kids was tough they must drive you crazy. </p> <p>I am used to it.

The things people will say to make conversation... and they somehow thing they are not offensive. Ah, life.<br /> @tequiero21: :( I would totally be a butt about that one. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-comments-have-you-heard-about-your-child-spacing#post-292598 Wed, 12 Sep 2012 19:29:20 +0000 tequiero21 292598@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I hate when people ask if twins r in the family.

I haven't had any negative comments. DS and LO will have a 4 year age gap. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-comments-have-you-heard-about-your-child-spacing#post-292449 Wed, 12 Sep 2012 16:41:59 +0000 erwoo 292449@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sandy: That was the case for me. My oldest was potty trained by the time my second came along. It was nice. He was also able to fully communicate with me by then too. I actually wanted my kids to be 2 years apart but it just didn't work out that way. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-comments-have-you-heard-about-your-child-spacing#post-292407 Wed, 12 Sep 2012 16:14:13 +0000 sandy 292407@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@erwoo: @NYCaliMama: so happy to hear that you feel 3 years apart is a good age gap!! My ideal spacing would be right around 3 years apart...but my husband is leaning towards 2 years. I want #1 to be out of diapers and at an age where she can communicate better...and hopefully be kind of independent so i can focus on #2 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-comments-have-you-heard-about-your-child-spacing#post-292252 Wed, 12 Sep 2012 14:45:40 +0000 SAHM0811 292252@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My girls are 3 years apart and all I hear is, "wow, perfect age gap!" </p> <p>My older cousin once told me, "Great family planning" after 2.0 was born... It was a little weird, but I know what he meant. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-comments-have-you-heard-about-your-child-spacing#post-292243 Wed, 12 Sep 2012 14:41:28 +0000 erwoo 292243@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My two boys are 1 month shy of being 3 years apart so I get the "oh, that's a perfect age difference" comment A LOT. So far, they are right! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-comments-have-you-heard-about-your-child-spacing#post-292187 Wed, 12 Sep 2012 14:09:36 +0000 Mrs. Bee 292187@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>charlie and olive are 22 months apart and most people think that's a good age gap, although some think it's a little close. i've never really had any rude comments though. wow sorry about the ones you've received! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-comments-have-you-heard-about-your-child-spacing#post-292178 Wed, 12 Sep 2012 14:06:37 +0000 tororojo 292178@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@autumnlove: For the record, I like your child spacing and would like to have mine similarly close (maybe a few months further so there wont be too many in college at the same time if we have 3-4 kids). But I'm only 16 weeks with the first, so much could change. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-comments-have-you-heard-about-your-child-spacing#post-292171 Wed, 12 Sep 2012 14:02:56 +0000 CupQuakeWalk 292171@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>wow, those comments are so sad and lame....wow.<br /> It's no secret that we want our LOs pretty close together...I've already got comments like "just wait until your first LO arrives and THEN see if you still want more".<br /> I'm like...gee, thanks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-comments-have-you-heard-about-your-child-spacing#post-292160 Wed, 12 Sep 2012 13:59:27 +0000 autumnlove 292160@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@tororojo: Thank you annoying coworker! :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-comments-have-you-heard-about-your-child-spacing#post-292156 Wed, 12 Sep 2012 13:57:09 +0000 tororojo 292156@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>"Are you sure your uterus won't burst?" BAHAhahahahaha </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-comments-have-you-heard-about-your-child-spacing#post-292122 Wed, 12 Sep 2012 13:37:58 +0000 Andrea 292122@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Haha. No real comments except people did ask us when we were going to have another before I was pregnant. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-comments-have-you-heard-about-your-child-spacing#post-292085 Wed, 12 Sep 2012 13:14:19 +0000 Honeybee 292085@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hahahaha! DD and DS are 21 months apart, and I got a lot of comments like:</p> <p>Are you sure that's safe?<br /> How many more are you going to pop out?<br /> Boy, you're going to have your hands full!</p> <p>And one of my husband's co-workers calls us "Breeders." Lol, the funny thing is that our spacing isn't that unusual, and some of the people who've commented have kids the same distance apart! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-comments-have-you-heard-about-your-child-spacing#post-292082 Wed, 12 Sep 2012 13:13:22 +0000 heffalump 292082@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Wow!</p> <p>No comments yet! LO is 13 months old, and people do ask. They started asking when she was still in my belly.... but I always just make up an excuse. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-comments-have-you-heard-about-your-child-spacing#post-292076 Wed, 12 Sep 2012 13:11:57 +0000 sorrycharlie 292076@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>oh wow! people are just so rude.</p> <p>some people have asked us when we're planning a second..I didn't even give birth to my first yet! geez.. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-comments-have-you-heard-about-your-child-spacing#post-292073 Wed, 12 Sep 2012 13:10:21 +0000 Mrs. Pen 292073@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>oh my gosh that's so pathetic. I think people need to just mind their own beeswax!</p> <p>thankfully no one has asked me about another one - lo is only 6.5 mos!! Whenever it comes up I just say it's not happening for a looong time and people laugh. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-comments-have-you-heard-about-your-child-spacing#post-292069 Wed, 12 Sep 2012 13:09:27 +0000 autumnlove 292069@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LOs will be 16 months apart. We weren't trying to space them so close together but it happened... So far I've heard these comments:</p> <p>You guys sure didn't wait.<br /> Are you sure your uterus won't burst?<br /> You are like a shotgun!<br /> Dang, you guys like getting busy.<br /> I feel sorry for you!</p> <p>I was laughing about these comments with my BFF with a 4 year old who hasn't started TTC for her second child yet.<br /> She says she gets comments like these:</p> <p>Why are you waiting so long, your eggs will dry out. (from her parents)<br /> You are being unfair to your LO. She is so lonely and needs a sibling.<br /> Your LO has tantrums because she wants a sibling.</p> <p>What kind of comments do you get about your child spacing? </p>
