    Smile Negative comments hurt

    Hi, I'm new but just had to reply to this one. I find that having comebacks helps a lot with the negative comments. Just be brave and say it - makes you feel better I swear! I had a lady (and I use that term lightly) remark on the size of my family - I have 7 soon to be 8 in August. She has 2 children and was being rude about the size of my family - going on about of all things the impact on the environment and making a lot of assumptions about my marital status and employment etc.

    I simply said - "Thats ok, I understand, If my kids were as pig-ugly as yours, I'd have stopped at two aswell"

    Tanya I think your "friend" was rude and thoughtless... she probably has no idea how insulting she has been.

    What a shame that someone would take something as precious and innocent as a new little life and speak negativity over him/her before he's even born.

    Rise above it, my lovely, and don't retaliate. What a shame that someone would take something as precious and innocent as a new little life and speak negativity over him/her before he's/she's even born.

    I am still getting the comments ohhh are you finished yet. Your not going to have anymore? Thats all while I am holding my precious little V. It gets so annoying, and upsetting that my life has turned into a topic of discussion. I tell them nooo, last one to get them off my back, as well DH doesnt want anymore unfortunately so they all get on his back about its the last one right? Of course he goes on and on about ohhh yes etc. I just have to keep my fingers crossed for an accident to get my magical number 6. hehehe
