They all sucked but I feel that is sucessful with 27 family members around (13 of them kids under 12)
The best comment: "When are you going to make me a great aunt. This is ridiculous now. What is wrong with you two?" My thoughts: " Well 9 of the rugrats running around have done that already" I did not say it though!
Runner up: "Well you know (wink wink) Chris(my younger cousin) is going to be a dad, he's beating you in the race"...My thoughts: "Really????"
I was cranky as hell yesterday and it didn't help that my DH is away so I had to deal with the madness by myself. Ugggh
Good thing: Crap load of leftovers!
Re: Only three "no baby yet" comments.

I'm so sorry you have stupid people in your family too. When we told my MIL about our "issues" she said that she was glad to know that we at least wanted kids. I told her "it's not for lack of effort"...that shut her up. DH couldn't believe it came out of my mouth, but she deserved it.
Hope you get a BFP soon!
Oh my goodness... they really said that to you??
?
I thought I had it bad when people just asked us, "so aren't you going to have kids soon?" ?Um... yeah, let me go pick one up from the store! I just always respond with, "we're working on it" or "hopefully soon!" ?And walk away.
Ugh, so sorry you had to deal with that!?
