Not mean at all BG.
In the past people have made comments on one of one of the above and i just turned around and said it took too long to make DS so we are enjoying every second with him and not worring about other babies in the future...of which they generally have no reply :P
I am proud of the fact we did IVF and will tell DS when he is older if he asks why he hasn't got a brother or sister if that is the case.
Really we have amazing kids and we are lucky to have them in our lives but with all the bs comments maybe the best way is to get on the defensive?
in all honesty, i tried "nice" before DD arrived, and it didn't work. People in general just don't THINK before they speak. oh, you're married, you must want to have a child. Oh, you have one, you must be ready for another one (before baby number one is even clean from being born!) - i know in some cases it's just thoughtless chatter, but in cases like Mako's, it can be downright cruel, even if not intended that way
if defensive/abrupt/rude gets people to actually think before saying something stupid even once, maybe it's worked...
