Unsolicited advice and criticism - what you want to say or have said

Oooh, another one I've been easing in to the quiz situations, when asking about the next child and how many I want, is "Age gap is more important to me than head count", cos they assume I want my kids close in age just cos that's what a lot of people do these days. That mitigates anyone saying "if you stopped BFing you could conceive again" and is probably a passive aggressive way of telling them to back off. It tells them, as well, that I've thought about it and probably have more comebacks should they pursue it any further!
I've used "toasty and warm" to great effect in recent times - Melbourne winters! Only it will run out of currency soon, as Melbourne summers are not the best time to use that line...I can say that he regulates my body temp so that neither of us gets too hot??
Dan - LOL! DP has stopped trying to find pictures of long-haired celebrity babies and saying " do you want him to look like X's child?"...cos all I ever say is "yes, actually, I think he's so cute", he he. And it's true - I LOVED when Elle MacPherson's son had long hair! My signature photo is from last year and DS's hair goes down to his cheeks, and it looks like the curl might be growing out...but no cutting it yet - it ain't over till the fat lady sings! And people in my circle are getting used to me being so frank - I've been talking about boobs and breastmilk since DS was born, and ignore the cringes and people who say 'too much information'...cos to the single, childless girls or women in the room, it might stick in their subconscious and be handy one day
