Mate, in times like these I LOVE Kaz Cooke's point from Up The Duff, where she says that when ppl say STOOPID stuff like that, it's actually about them, not about you.

Eg, when ppl found out we were pregnant at 14 weeks (told our fams at 12 and let them slowly spread news for us), one friend was like, I can't believe you managed to keep your mouth shut for that long.
I though about Kaz's advice and realised my friend probably said that because she couldn't keep her secrets that long.

So OBVIOUSLY it's up to you and Heath how many kiddies you have, and if people say stuff like 'baby will be lonely' or 'you're a wierdo', then that's based on their understanding of the issue. If they thought about it properly, they would realise that the child is still allowed to have friends/cousins/neighbours/family to play with, and open communication between parents-child will combat lonliness.
And my parents are wierdos. How else could they have embarrassed me so efficiently in my teenage years? Wierdness could be good for your child's character

So yeah, what people say is based on their understanding of things. And although it would be nice if they weren't rude, it's definately easier to brush off comments like that when you remember that it's not about you, it's about them. :flower:
