So My mom asked when we're planning on having our second...

And my grandmother almost choked on her coffee..Needless to say, I won't be telling them anytime soon!

They didnt want us to have them so close together and they find my cousin "Disgusting" because shes having her third so by the time LO 3 is born she'll have 3 under 3 (Oldest will be 2 months from 3) Each of her kids will be 16 months apart.. DD will be 16 months old when LO is born.

It's not their choice in the matter and their opinions dont really matter..But My cousin lives in Illinois she wont have to be around for all the remarks and talking behind her back. We live within 20 miles of my mother and grandmother..

Ugh. My family sucks.

/mini rant :)

    F 'em!  People and their TTC opinions annoy the *** out of me!  As long as you and your DH are happy then the rest can suck it! 

    I am in rare form today! Cool

    What is wrong with 16 months apart? My sister and I are 16 mos apart! Luckily my mom doesn't make baby comments at all. But, I certainly have other people in my life who can't keep their comments to themselves. What is wrong with people?? lol

    No idea my mom and my aunt are 17 months apart (However my mom wasnt planned)..My family is very hypocritical and have lots of double standards. :) Stuck with what you got though, right?

    I'm sorry. I can't believe they think your cousin is disgusting. What is wrong with having children close in age??

    My sister just had twins and her first born was 21 months.

    You're right, it is not their choice. They can say what they want, but it doesn't change things. The important thing is that you feel good about it.

    That stinks - I don't know why pregnancy is anyone's business or why it seems to embolden people to spit out their opinions on everything baby and parenting.  I hope that we are able to have #2 16-24 months after this one both because of "advancing age" and because I have no idea how long it might take etc to do this again so I'm not sure what the big deal is for having them closer together.

    RUDE. When will people learn to keep their comments to themselves?

    HAHAHA!!!  You should tell them about me and my 11 month apart babies!!!!  I can't even IMAGINE the words they'd use to describe me.  :)

     But seriously, that sucks.  I'm in a similar boat.  My mom didn't want me to have ANY kids.  (I'm an only child.  What crazy woman doesn't want grandchildren?!)  And now that we have Finn, she doesn't want me to have anymore.  Tomorrow is her birthday, I'm thinking of doing some kind of, "Happy birthday, you're going to be a grandma again!"  and run away really fast.

    I wish people didn't have to make such stupid comments. They'd have a lot to say about us, too. by the time this baby comes we'll have 4 kids under 4. i've been nervous to tell people about this one, but so far i'm surprised by how well people are reacting. (at least to my face!) haha. hopefully they will be happy for you!

    I feel SOOOO bad for you. I have plenty of close friends with 2 under 2, 3 under 3, and 4 under 4...but their parents couldn't be happier. I COULD NOT IMAGINE my own mother not being supportive. I would agree its not their decision, but I would also want them to be understanding... Ultimately how you plan or have your family is up to you and your hubby. IMO, Children are a GIFT from God and should always be welcomed.
