Grrrr, it's so annoying isn't it?! When it comes to pregnancy and babies people always have something to say .
There are 22 months between our last two (a great age gap ) and when we first announced that I was pg with DD, FIL asked, "Was it a mistake?". Huh??? Who asks questions like that?! Just because there is a smaller age gap than there is between our first two doesn't mean our baby was unplanned. And even if she was unplanned, why would you still ask that?! (Sorry for my own vent LOL)
I don't really think people mean to be rude. They are often just surprised and it's the first thing that pops into their head. People said it to me a lot too, but water off a ducks back i say!
what if you just looked them straight in the eye and say "i beg your pardon''. and then wait for them to say something further and just stay silent, but look directly at them. i reckon they'll be the one feeling rather uncomfortable pretty soon. and you could just end their discomfort with a sarcastic "rrrriiiggghhhhttttt''.
if i had the guts that's what i'd do when i get the 'oh my god you're so big, sure you aren't carry twins'. you just can win hey! soon you'll get the comments about you belly and whether or not you are showing etc. oh the fun of it all!
and big congrats on your pregnancy love! we hope to achieve a similar feat
Yes I do find it rude. We encountered it heaps of times when I was pregnant with Anelise, even though there is 2.5yrs between her and DS2!
I also got reeeeeeeeeeeeally tired of hearing people say 'You're gonna have your hands full'... What is with that? So annoying.
