My first snarky comment.

Well I just had to do it. I was sticking up for our newest triplet mom on my local board. She post she found out she was having triplets today. I'm sorry but I'm tired of hearing I'd rather shot myself then have...twins, triplets whatever it may be. Like we don't have to hear it a hundred time a day. It just makes me mad.

Good for you.  We MoMs need to stick together.

glad to hear it! ?why don't people understand how dumb these comments are?

You did the right thing. This is a classic case of not thinking before speaking.

it's like i said to someone the other day when they said that to me. 

"give yourself more credit than that." 

i mean, really. would you really shoot yourself if you found out you were having triplets? that's just lovely.

I think you've blown this out of proportion.  The people were reacting to the 4 under 2, not the triplets.

Oh for cripes sake, I was just being silly.  And yes, it was the 4 under 2 (almost 1 really) thing, not the multiples thing.  Get your panties out of a bunch.  FWIW, my sisters are twins, and there were 4 of us under 4.  So I get big families ok?  I'm sure you guys get stupid comments from people all the time, just like people dealing with IF or a loss.  I'm sorry if I offended anyone, I really would not shot myself for having multiples.

 Regardless of whether their reaction was at 4 under 2 or the triplets, they were still being very rude.  I would feel terrible if I had been the OP, sharing my news, and then saw people react that way.

It was on another board that she doesn't go to....if you hadn't posted about the gun comment, she probably never would've known.  I don't think it was rude when they weren't posting it with the intent of her seeing it. 

The OP wasn't sharing *her* news, she was sharing someone elses news.

So I would like to officially apologize to the real original poster, the one actually pg with triplets.  I do wish you the best and I really don't think you should shoot yourself.

I'm just going to say it now I'm sorry for any drama.

inappropriate comments are still inappropriate regardless what was meant by them..

jmubride2

good for you!  I'm tired of the comments on 2nd tri "I'm so big people keep asking if I'm having twins."  I just want to type back shut up, your 6w ahead of me and I'm already bigger than you are!
