@GoGoSnoGirl: HAHAHAHA!
@pwnstar: Well holy crap.

@Mrs. Pen:
Ugh I am sorry about that first comment!
-
Why don't people just keep their dumb mouths shut.
I've gotten a lot of crap about our spacing... Too close according to the masses.
"Don't you know how this happens" "guess your hubby will be thing it up once this one comes" "better you than me"I'm surprised we haven't gotten much about having only girls.
-
@wrkbrk: UGH, our office Christmas Party is planned on my due date and my managing director keeps loudly announcing that he'll invite an OBGYN so it will be totally fine if I deliver at the party. DUDE, even if I haven't had the baby yet, I'm not coming to the party! Nor do I want to discuss my uterus in the work environment.
-
@Truth Bombs: Older white male as well? SHOCKING!
-
@wrkbrk: He has EIGHT kids. You would think he would have learned better by now.
-
For the record, I WANT another a girl (of course I'd be happy with a boy too), but in the future if I do have another girl, I will seriously be furious that people are so concern that I only have 1 gender, haha!
-
@snowjewelz: Right there with you!
-
@Truth Bombs: Id be really touched if my boss said that!
-
A ton of my local Mom friends are SAHM and if I have to hear one more time how sad they are for my kids because I "have to go back to work and let someone else raise them" I will slap a B. I LOVE my job, I have invested time, effort and love into my career and although, yes, it is hard at first to go back (I am back to work tomorrow after 1 year mat leave), I KNOW I am a more patient, fulfilled, and loving Mom when I have work as an outlet.

@MsMini: wow. I couldn't maintain a friendship with someone who said that to me, nor would I be able to bite my tongue from making snarky responses. And thank goodness for a lot of moms with sick babies that people like you DO go back to work!!
-
Ugh. People are so rude.
-
@GoGoSnoGirl: Oh my gosh, you are awesome.
@MsMini: I could not agree more. Hope you have a smooth transition! -
@pwnstar:
I preferred your original comment but understand why you edited it. lol.

@mediagirl: Sometimes my fingers are faster than my brain (well, my frontal lobe anyway!).
-
We get this comment all.the.time. From strangers, acquaintances, family..... everyone. Some people just don't get that not everyone wants or feels the need to have more than one child. It grates on me all the time but what can I do... People will judge no matter what!
-
@mediagirl: You can reply with something snarky like "Oh she's just so perfect and all we ever hoped for so we're happy being one and done!"
-
I had a friend tell me, "I don't know how you could put LO in daycare. My LO and I are so connected, and I wouldn't want him to feel abandoned!" -- Uhh, thanks?
Additionally, almost everyone questions our choice to raise LO as a vegan. It's pretty annoying, and even though I have facts and data to back up my choices, people are pretty close minded about it. (now that she's older, I give no fucks, and don't even try explaining it to people I know are just being dumb.)
-
@MsMini: I just posted - I've had the same response. It makes me so mad!!
-
@mediagirl: I still love Jesus haha but I don't have the belief of "God will take care of everything" in the way that he will put money on my doorstep for groceries and a roof over my head. And even more than just the money, I wanted to work! And that is so mind-boggling to people. I finally found a career path that I'm passionate about.
And just yesterday, my son said he wants to be a nurse like me and help people get better
seriously it just made my heart burst!
-
No where near as crazy as a lot of these but I commented that it was annoying that we can't fit a third passenger in the back seat of our car because of the way the seatbelts cross. And this was just regarding number of people that we could take in our car, absolutely NOTHING to do with having another baby. My step mother said in a nasty voice "Then maybe you should stop having kids!" We have a whopping total of 2 kids.
-
I can't believe some of these comments! Well, I can, but I wish I couldn't. Why do people think these things are okay to say?! I'll probably get pretty rude to anyone who gives us crap. It took 4 pregnancies to get our one, and welter completely happy as is. We don't want another, and definitely won't be putting ourselves through all that again just to give her a sibling!
-
Our neighbours are constantly disappointed that we won't be having a second. But that's just mildly annoying.
There's this woman at work with whom I really disagree on some fundamental parenting things. And she's very outspoken about her parenting beliefs. She's said several things that have really hurt my feelings and made me feel like a terrible mother
Ugh I am sorry about that first comment!
