Hehe I've had the reverse, every man and his dog would take one look at us with our 3 foot tall mop of golden curls in tow and ask us when we were having another one? And of course the another one turned out to be a boy so now I appear to have a nice boy/girl pair. I'm almost 35 so I don't look too old or too young to be having kids, so noone comments on age, and with a 2.5 year age gap noone comments on how close they are either. All is good
Thing is though, my eldest is SO much older than the other two that a lot of people aren't actually aware I have 3 kids. We talk more to parents of the playgroup and kindergym kids not the school parents and they are two different circles.
Enjoy your pregnancy and get a T-shirt printed with some smart alec comment on if it keeps happening
Geez, we've just announced number 3, and I've had a few comments similar - but most have been re-worded like "wow, you must have some stamina", which I actually like .
A massive congratulations - for you shall have more cuddles, kisses and love from three bundles .
Boo Boo - I've been getting the same thing from some of hubby's family. My FiL went on to say to hubby "And how will she cope with 2?"
FiL is normally very supportive, but it really did get to both of us.
I've also had the other side of it too, the "when are you having another one?"
I'm lucky that most of our family and friends know how hard it has been for us to even get to this point where we're having another baby, so they know already that it is very much wanted.
Boo Boo, I'm sending HUGE congrats out to you & your family! It doesn't matter what they think, even if it does hurt. They are just the ones who will be missing out on the wonderful developments that are happening inside you because they can't be happy for you.
huge congrates on another baby hun! how exciting.
i've been coping the same thing, gluton for punishment, how am i going to handle a 16 month old and a new born? seriously people need to get over it, they arent the ones who are doing it so i dont see how its anyones business
I hear ya, I got negative reactions from each of my pregnancies after the first. The worst was when we found out we were having twins and someone offered their commiserations
I know exactly what you mean! I have had SO many comments like that! Especially because I was 15 weeks pregnant when DH and I tied the knot. I got everything from "Gee your starting early!?" "HAHA you've really pulled the handbrake now!" "Enjoy your life while you still can - because the fun stops when bub is here" etc etc
I think people think its funny to pay you out because your having a bub but little do they realise that the comments are unwanted and can sometimes come across really rude. Just smile and walk off. Most of the time its just jealousy
Gees, that is ridiculous!! I have two and want a third and would be expecting a congrats at the time too! What is wrong with these people?? Well anyway, from me, a huge CONGRATULATIONS!!!
Aww congrats Baby!! Dont listen to all those rude people out there. You have been given the most precious gift of time, and at the end of the day you are only going to feel bursting with love for your little family. They will bring you the greatest joy, the saddest of heartaches, and the most frustrating times to come, but I promise its so worth every minute and every comment in the end.
I am currently on bubba number 5 and I wouldnt change a thing even if I was given the chance.
Enjoy it hunni and a huge CONGRATS from me!!!
BooBoo I have copped all the flak to and it has been from my mum. I am on baby #6 and instead of "woo hoo I'm gonna be a nanna again" i got "oh no" and "don't you think you are to old to be having any more kids" Luckily I was on the phone telling her or she would have been in trouble. It doesn't matter how many babies you decide to have it is your decision and everyone should be happy for you. My sister on the other hand told me "congratulations and you should have your own reality show" lol.
Well from me a big CONGRATULATIONS and hope you have a wonderful pregnancy and birth
congratulations, I think it's wonderfull news. I would assume babies are always happy news unless told otherwise. I hope you have a wonderfull pregnancy, I hope in some round about way no one is surprised when I decide to have bubs #3 I think hubby's already understands i'm not finished despite his favorite comment 'I was happy with 1' (fyi baby #2 let out a scream last time tht comment was made, as if to say hey!)
For us a I think the shock and amazement will set in if I manage 4
he he I should also mentioned I just talked him into buying a 7 seater :Lol:
Congratulations! At least we are all happy for you
I'm due to have #3 and I was told by a Mum of 1 today that I don't know what I'm in for with 3 kids! Not sure how she knows that? But anyway... Just taking it one day at a time here
