Reading an article about the worst questions you get asked after having a baby and this one made me laugh.
"Are you gonna have more?"
"This
literally started when my twins were still tiny. Isn't two enough? Two
at the same time, no less? I often responded with 'Well, I just produced
a litter' and that would shut them up. Or, 'My body just went through
an exorcism and my husband saw my lower intestine, spleen, and kidneys,'
which would end the conversation too." ? Rachael, mom of two (2 years)

Re: The &quot;are you going to have more?&quot; question with twins
I've gotten several "nice to get it done at once" comments. We are done with two; we were going to stop after one, so there won't be any more children after the twins. I guess it doesn't bother me because we are done, so I just agree with them. The assumption that we are done because we have a girl & a boy is annoying. A "perfect family" (whatever that is) doesn't require a boy and a girl.
This, except we have 3 boys.
We get this all the time. I'm pretty sure I was pregnant with the girls and people were asking if we were going to try for a boy. Or we got the, oh aren't you lucky to get it over and done with in 1 shot. All of this kills me. I enjoyed being pregnant and it upsets me that I might not be able to get this experience again.
We tell people that we are extremely busy with the girls and we are enjoying the heck out of our little family right now.

Perfect family: whatever you want it to be
Other people's view on it: Mom, Dad, Boy, Girl... white picket fence...
Yep, this. Even when I respond with, "well, I almost bled out after the csection, so no, " they still say I might change my mind in a few years. It's always aholes with one kid too.
