Do people really think this?

Seriously, why does everyone think that I can schedule her birth according to their personal convenient schedule?  Baby comes when she comes.  My MIL wants me to wait until she gets back from Omaha and my family wants her to come before hunting season.  They all want her born on THEIR days off from work.  Even strangers tell me when it is convenient for them!  And I swear, I here how wonderful it would be if she were born on Such and Such date so that there would be a shared birthday.  Truely, some of these people I don't even know!  Everyone has their own birthdays and I know she is bound to hit a day that someone else has a birthday, but do I really need to hear everyones running list of random peoples birthdays?  Sorry, it just seems even the lady at Barnes and Nobel and the coach at the church and the check out lady have to tell me a list of everyone they knows birthday for the next two weeks.  Starting to get on my nerves and it makes everything take so much longer than necessary.  I don't want to stand there and listen to it.  My feet hurt and I am usually really hot and yet they still prattle on.  Ugh. Sorry.  Anyone else dealing with this?

    Yep. This is one of my biggest peeves. ?I know a lot of people pop in and say "oh, they're just making?conversation".. or "oh they're just kidding'..?

    but the people who have said it to me.. ARE SERIOUS. And it drives me batty!

    My Mom's original anniversary was on the 6th [nov]. My "dad" just walked out around this time last year.. and she keeps saying that I just?cannot have the baby on the 6th. ?She is usually pretty good about most things and I am able to tolerate her.. but this makes me nuts.?

    One of my good friends is always telling me to "wait" to have her until January 5th so they can have the same birthday.. I'm due Dec. 26, there's no way I would go a week overdue just so they can have the same birthday lol!

    LOL! No matter when you tell people you're due, they ALWAYS have someone/thing's birthday around that time.?

    "Oh! You're due the 16th? My 1/2 brother's first wife, Betty, her daughter's birthday is the 20th!"

    My mom did this to me and drove me batty.  We have a scheduled c-section coming up.  When we were looking at dates, she kept telling me all about her schedule and what would be convenient/easy for her, regardless of whether I'd even be full term by the dates she was giving.  I just kept telling her, "We'll be doing whatever our doctor recommends and I'll keep you posted."

    The question should be...do you really think they think you have control over the birth. I find these comments from strangers just polite conversation and and from family, just funny/cute comments. Oh man pregnant women are quite seriously the most sensitive people on earth. I include myself in that group of course. :)

    ugh people can be so annoying. Sorry you have to deal with comments like that, I wish people could keep their mouths shut. Obviously, you have no control on when the baby actually comes & who cares who else was born then! GL youre in the home stretch!

    I know how this goes. My in laws live in Illinois and want to be here when she's born or shortly after, well they're redoing their whole house right now and I told me on a number of occaisions that they hope LO waits until the 19th at least....o and DH's uncle wants her to wait until the 26th because that's his birthday and DH's cousin's wife's brother was born on the 10 so that is a good day too....I've just taken to telling them that she will come when she comes...It's still annoying though
