When we finally get pregnant and safely deliver a baby, any subsequent pregnancy will be ASAP. I would love 3 babies (which will make it 4 including Caitlyn) and I am running out of time to leave a couple of years between each (lets face it, I'm running out of time to get one live one ). If you leave *too long* a gap, people comment. If you have them close together, people comment. You can't win either way so ignore them and know you are blessed to have them, whatever their spacing.
I would say i get this comment on pretty much a daily basis. It just washes over me now and i just smile and say "Yeah"
I am expecting baby #5 in November and my eldest will be 6 when the baby is born. I love the way ive had my kids and i dont know life any differently, so while it may look like hard work to many, to me its just the way things are, i wouldnt change a thing.
I love it when i go out with only a few of the kids and get comments and then i say "Oh theres another 1 or 2 at home" lol that always spins people out.
I think sometimes people just are trying to make conversation. Its just the same as everyone that keeps saying to me that this baby HAS to be a boy ( I have 3 girls and 1 boy right now) for my son's sake. Well why? Is what i ask. But its just a comment that people can make. My son will not suffer if i have another girl, if anything he will be more spoilt.
Thoughtless people are just a fact of life, mostly they don't mean to be hurtful they just don't engage their brains before opening their mouths. This is usually a condition associated with older people, but occasionally with people your own age who have that annoying condition known as "perfection in their own minds" this usually is shown by making comments that reflects their view that what they have done is right and if anyone does anything differently they are wrong. Often thoughtless people turn out to be those we are related to you and slot into the "should know better" category. Thougtless people are usually best ignored, or if you are in the mood it can lighten your day to have a sharp comment to throw back at them such as, no i'm going back to work full time it will be the nanny who will have her hands full, the facial expression on the thoughtless person after a comment like that should be enough to weaken your already weak baldder. Should the thoughtless person be a close relative it can be handy to point out that yes you will be busy and most probably too busy to see much of them for the next 16years.
