wow its made me feel a lot better reading this thread, we only have 1 bub so far and are ttc#2 but when we got pg with DS my mum (a a lot of others) told us we should only have 1 or 2 so that we could 'have a life"! we used to say we'd like 4 or 5, then we focused on money and thought maybe 2 or 3, but really i think we are breeders too, so who knows what will happen??
TBH I think people just like to connect with others, so they comment on lots of things, babies the most popular - how big, how little, etc etc( and the size of your bump too ) they dont think before they open their mouths, you know "OMG twins", "oh no another one", and the one that annoys me the most ATM " Oh you finally got your boy"
I personally have perfected the "doh are you an idiot" look, and throw in a comeback. - "wasnt trying for a boy"
"you think 4 kids is a lot????"
"lots more to love"
"and you have an issue with this - why???? Jealous????"
I went and saw a different Dr today ( as mine on hols) and she counted the kids as we walked in the door. Then she said to the big girls " I bet you help mummy lots around the house" they looked at her blank, and I said Its MY job to do the housework and raise the others - not theirs. then when I asked for a sick leave day for tonight - she laughed and said "you want to stay home with the 4 kids - surely work would be easier" and the other comment was "OMG you work and have 4 kids" I think she had a major issue, with us, so I asked her - "do you have a problem with me having 4 kids, coz I certainly dont, I love everyminute I spend with them ???" well you should have seen the look on her face - of course she then stumbled out an apology and I left DOH:eek:
