Is he a good baby..? And other comments that drive you mad....

[BellyBelly]

I'm after the comments that drive you mad..... what is the #1 thing that sends you batty every time a stranger (or two thousand) decides to unleash on you?

Is he a good baby?
Is he a good sleeper?
Wow, she has a good set of lungs doesn't she.....?

*veins popping out of head already*

LOL

[Heaven]

Does she sleep through yet?
Are you STILL breastfeeding?
You will have to wean soon!
You spoil that baby!

[Mildez]

Are you still feeding her? (DD was 2days old)

Umm yes of course I'm still feeding her. Do they think I'd starve her

[feeb]

You must have your hands full.

Are you still BF

Are you really BF both of them

You are making a rod for your own back

You must get him out of your bed

You must stop BF or you will be feeding him at school

[AwesomeFoursome]

So your family is complete now, stateman not question.

[onthefly]

You won't be wanting another one after that, then, will you?

[*LittleMissSummer*]

She's very little, do you feed her enough?

She's too little to be walking... She's 13 months!!

She looks like a boy...

She looks nothing like you are you sure she's yours? i am not kidding!

*talking to DD* Oh who gave you that yucky chicken nugget??...... perhaps her MOTHER did!!

[sahbear]

Hes sooo little - are you sure he's ok??

(i was 'til you asked me! grrrr)

How much does he weigh now?

(sorry, this one wasn't a stranger but had to add it in as i was asked by the same people every few days and it made my blood boil!)

[NaeNae]

Are you finding out what the sex is?

(when answered yes to above) - Oh didn't you want a surprise?

(battling mastitis) - Oh that means its time to wean her!

You shouldn't cuddle her so much when she hurts herself.

Oh her hands are cold you need to put more clothes on her.

You'll get sick of cloth nappies after a week.

You are vaccinating her aren't you or are you one of THOSE mothers. (we do vax but have nothing against those that choose not to)

Is she up to date with her Vax isn't she ... said in undermining "you naughty child" tone (my mother seems to think its her right to know)

[ladybird11]

"oh, and is she breast fed?"

[Astrolady]

When are you having another child

[RhiChiChi]

Are you going to have anymore children?

[Nai]

So does your (DP) want to try for a boy?
(when answered No) Doesn't he feel outnumbered?

[Aussiegirl777]

"Are you breastfeeding?"
"Does he sleep through yet?"
"He's big isn't he?"
"He's got more hair than his Dad!" (DS has virtually no hair and neither does DP) - It was a funny comment at first but after the first 15 times it wasn't so cute anymore.
"Is he circumcised?" Not joking - some old lady who I didn't know came up to us when DS was 7 days old. She looked in the pram and then asked us that question. I was literally speechless for about 20 minutes after that one.

Ok this one isn't from strangers, but it is from random visitors who come to my house and rely's and it's my number #1 vein popper - "Are they STILL in the same room? When are you going to give them their own rooms?" - After that you can't have anymore, you've only got a 3 bedroom house! Ummm, I would have killed for a sibling to share my room with, that is why I went and crashed mum and Dads room every night till I was 5, and I want them in there together. What's with that anyway, don't entire families in poorer countries just live in a communal room, why am I so depriving a mother if my kids have to (or don't have to but I choose for them to) share a freaking room.

And of course the good ol' Are you going to try for a boy? From random old ladies at the supermarket

[luna moth]

"How much does she weigh now?" [I don't know; I just count the fat rolls and assume she's ok]

"You must have a sore back/be tired" (babywearing) Hmph hmph hmph.

[misty]

"are they twins?"
(I know my boys look alike, they are brothers, BUT they are TWO years apart, and when they are standing next to each other the older one is nearly twice the hieght of the two year old - not to mention, actually looks older. And yet you wouldn't believe the number of times I get this comment. )

[Bern]

"You'll have to have a third now to give DH a boy"

How about no thanks we are happy the way we are. DH was happy just to have one daughter.
