Another bizarre/inappropriate multiples comment

Hopeful1!Hopeful1!
in Multiples

So I am at a park with my 2 year old and the twins and another mom with her 2 year old and new baby settle in at the bench next to us. She pulls out a nursing cover and starts to nurse her 1 month old and when she catches my eye she asks if I have 3 boys. When I tell her that I do she says "WOW, you are going to be busy." I am used to that one.

Then she says "I was pregnant with triplets but this one, indicating the baby she is nursing, is the only one that made it to gestation." I was flabergasted but I managed to say I was so sorry. She says "Trust me, that is quite alright" in a tone like she dodged a big bullet. I was speechless. Then she closes with, "What is even crazier is that they were natural." I managed to mutter that mine were also SPONTANEOUS and then tried not to make eye contact with her anymore.

    I may not have been able to stop myself from saying, "WTF? Who says that?" to her.

    O.M.G.  I can't believe someone could be so flip about losing two of their children.

    Oh my word... Every time I hear of someone losing a twin or triplet I cuddle mine even closer, I cannot imagine being happy that I didn't have to bear the weight of the pregnancy or the craziness of triplet infants!

     Indifferent

    That is beyond strange.  As someone who unfortunately m/c spontaneous triplets I would NEVER go around saying to people "well at least there is only 2 this time around" or anything similar, she should be thanking her lucky stars that one did survive.

    You know, after what she went through, I'm sure it makes it a lot easier to try to see the bright side. A lot of people on this board have admitted that it took them awhile to adjust to the idea of having multiples. That woman never got that chance.
