What does his dad look like?
-
"This is...your...THIRD?" In a condescending tone
"Have you always wanted a big family?"
-
@HLK208: What?! Why would people say it like it's a bad thing?! So rude!
-
For me right now I get the question of when are you going to have another one A LOT. J is almost two. But it's still very personal and none of their business. I also hated the question "was he planned?" because I was 21 when I got pregnant.
-
@snowjewelz: probably since I'm still in my twenties...it's like they think I'll have 19 kids and counting by 40
-
@Mrs. Pen: that question makes me so frustrated. I obviously will tell close friends our story but "was he planned?" By strangers?? Ugh.
-
@HLK208: My cousin just had her fourth, so I bet she got that a lot. And it WAS an oops baby, but only because their plan was to adopt for their fourth.
I'm definitely agreeing with those sick of "how are you feeling?" Though in my case, I don't mind it from most people (yet), but my mom asks me EVERY day. And she's not asking just how I feel physically. She thinks I don't talk about my feelings enough so she's trying to get me to say how I feel emotionally. Which is fine occasionally (she's right, I don't talk about my feelings enough), but not every freaking day.
Oh, and she got all upset at me the other day because I'm not talking to her about the pregnancy enough, but then got MORE upset when I said maybe I'd talk more if she actually asked questions that I'd want to talk about, like my thoughts on the nursery, instead of just "how are you feeling" EVERY DAY.
-
When I get asked how I'm feeling, I respond with "I feel 7 months pregnant."
-
@wonderstruck: That is lovely to hear!
-
I was asked (a lot!) if my first pregnancy was planned (because we conceived a month after we got married). My MIL commented constantly that our daughter was a honeymoon baby (which she was not) and I finally told her the conception date so she would zip it. Now I have been asked the same question (if baby was planned) as I'm expecting Baby #2 (probably because my daughter just turned 1).
My favorite comment was a co-worker who looked down at my 9-month pregnant belly and said, "you are going to have a big a** baby!" I always measured right on target, and my daughter was 7lbs. 10 oz. So rude!
-
Oh yes, I forgot to add "Is he sleeping through the night?"
People who ask when we're going to have a second just get a blank incredulous stare, lol!
-
@HLK208: I dare you to respond to the second question "No, but our cable goes out a lot so…"
-
@Mae: LOL!
-
I don't really remember getting annoyed by any of the questions. I think people love babies and are genuinely curious and mean no harm. Then again, I might have been lucky and never got any rude questions.
-
"Well, you still have a ways to go, right?"
I just heard that at lunch. Yes, about 3 1/2 months - thanks for the reminder.
-
Starting to get "So what are you going to do about vaccinations?"
-
I'm also anticipating, "she's still in your bed?" "you're still breastfeeding?" and various comments on not spanking. I'm trying to work on good responses to those now, because I know I'll get them a LOT from my very conservative family.
-
1) I'm a SAHM and I get asked the "What do you do all day?" question pretty often.
2) "When are you having a second?" When I tell them I'm not sure if I want a second, then I get "You HAVE to have at least one more" accompanied by looks of shocks and disbelief
