Tanya. That is really awful that someone would do that. It's very annoying that she didn't think about your feelings. Is she a close friend? If so, perhaps you could let her know that she has upset you. Otherwise, maybe just stop contact with her. It doesn't sound like it would be any great loss to you!
What a classy thing to say,
Ive had people comment on my pregnancy. Things like " dont you own a TV" Another BB gal told me to tell them that DH and I find sex so much more exciting than TV and maybe they should try it.
I agree with the others, say something really sarcastic then delete her a$$. Pregnancy is stressful enough without having people like that in your ear.
Tanya Big for you.
Congrates NO 5 how wonderful.
When we were expecting number 4,5 Twins well I got are you sure you have had enough yet, Do you want a football team,Are you having any more, Your getting too old to have any more children. When I tell people that I would Love just one more people look at me as if I'm a freak. Don't worry who cares what people think as long as you and your hubby are happy. She is no friend.
Tanya, a comment like that would upset me too. It's just so ridiculously rude! Massive hugs to you I think you have an absolutely wonderfully, beautiful family!
(Myson - loved your advice, I might remember that for myself too).
Oh Tanya, I just feel your pain hun. To be judged by those who don't know better is the worst pain.
I hope you can release her comment from yourself soon, and try to enjoy this unexpected baby in your family. More power to you for having that much love to give to all of your children.
I think its admirable and strong and absolutely amazing of you to be in such a wonderful family environment. May this new addition just make it all that much better again.
Congratulations is all I have to say.
Tan, I remember feeling quite upset when we found out about Em. She was most definitely unplanned. I say people who pass judgements on the number in your family are just jealous. good on you.
What a frickin' ... I'd best not put it to print. Lol give me her name, I'll set her straight for you!!
Seriously though... I'd give the cow what-for and then shame her as publicly as possible. Her opinion on your family is fine as long as she keeps it to herself, but to go broadcasting her pettiness in public is not only rude and completely classless, it's embarrassing for the both of you. You, because it invades your privacy and erodes your enjoyment, and her because it shows her up for the pathetic little cat that she no doubt is.
Some people... honestly.
I said it in another thread - you honestly don't realise what morons people can be until you're pregnant/have kids. Then, EVERYBODY's got an opinion on your personal life and they all feel free to say it out loud. Not on.
Congrats on your pregnancy, though!! You sound like an absolute supermum, I applaud you!! I personally couldn't have more than two but that's just me - far from judging or looking down on mums with a fully-packed minivan, I shake their hand!! As long as you, your partner and the kidlets are happy, healthy and comfy, then the opinions of narrow-minded sooks don't matter at all. I hope you feel a bit better (this pregnancy has been super-hard on me too so I know how you feel, it's awful being so sick and blah that you can't just relax and enjoy it!) soon and don't let the haters get you down.
