Seriously? WTF is wrong with people. That's crazy.
We had a few People ask and look at us weird when we said we weren't finding out, but people actually get angry about it? That's... odd.
We had the name thing though. Told GMIL that we had chosen "Isaac" for our boys name and she said "oh no you cant call him that! That's horrible. He'll get called Zac!" We did anyway and she called him by his second name for a year and a half!
Thanks for all your support guys... I feel better now. I totally get why people want to keep it a surprise.. and that's great... I would never react or push my view on anyone and I guess I just expect the same back.
Oh and the name thing... man no one should say anything about the name you have chosen... that is cruel too! I wont be telling anyone my names until the baby is in my arms! They wont be able to try and get me to 'change my mind' when its done on on the birth certificate!!!
A bit late, but definitely not over-reacting SB. People can be so judgmental. We copped it from a few people too.
I think as soon as you get pregnant (engaged, even!) people feel the need to give you all sorts of unsolicited family planning and parenting advice as if your life and relationships were now public!
Ignore them, they're projecting their own opinions and values on your choices. Pffffffffffffffft!
