Well said skybie, it is absolutely unacceptable to be so rude to a person 'behind their back' / 'in public'. If she said it to you, at least you would have had a right of reply. I think you have a perfectly justifiable right to feel offended. A new pregnancy is something to be congratulated, celebrated and enjoyed, not disapproved of by someone who has no responsibility in the situation or mocked so crassly.
I agree with the others who suggest to 'unfriend' her. I wouldn't bother posting back, her comment doesn't deserve a public response. I would avoid a public slinging match - it would just be more upsetting. I had a friend go through something like this on facebook, someone was really offensive and when she messaged them, the person sent her private message to everyone with a sarcastic response. It wasn't pretty. I think you should just move on as the bigger person and celebrate the new addition to your clan.
Congratulations Tanya, what a wonderful gift to have a big family. More joy for you and your partner and more siblings for your kids. Siblings can give kids support in this world like no-one else can.
