Annoyed at comments!!

Stacy&gil · December 2011

Our son is just 9 months this weekend and I am 5 weeks pregnant. For the tenth time today, after excitedly telling a friend our news, I hear "again?? wow...... You didn't use protection?".

Sorry, no.

And we welcome our new bundle of joy, even if he / she is earlier than expected, so keep the dam comments to yourself!!

What should I say? I need to think of something so I don't wind up on a pregnant hormonal rampage and gut the person on the sidewalk!

the best way i can tell you to deal with it is first calm down and try to be nice about it and just tell her even though we didn't use protection this is a happy time for us and we are welcoming it with open arms. What you do really is no ones business but your own but i wouldn't worry about what other say.

But this sounds so much better than any witty comment I could come up with. I'm so hormonal and anti-social right now, I'd like to gut everyone who looks at me sideways... I got nothing.

The same thing happened to me. DD was 10 mo. old when I got preg. with DS. I was honest and said "we weren't planning on another one for 6 more months and I was on the pill but God works in awesome ways" and most people (mainly family 'cause my friends understood) shut the eff up. LOL.

Stacy&gil · December 2011

LOL. You ladies are awesome. however, my family is very religious, so any mention of God and they are all ready to debate me. Friends, yes, I could use the line "It was just in God's plan for us!" and they will shut up.

I don't really see why there's a need to mention that it was unexpected. Just say you decided after DS that you wanted your kids to be close in age so you guys just decided to throw BC out the window and let it happen. Other wise saying it wasn't planned or expected opens you up to criticism and the "thats what happens when you don't use birth control so why would you be suprised" comment. Which I will say is a true comment, but how or why you conceived is nobody elses business. Like PP said ask them why they're so interested in your sex life. You owe no one an explanation and they should just be happy for you, no questions asked.

wow, that would be extremely annoying. I would probably tell her straight up that her comment is rude to you. Not sure if that the most appropriate response, but at this moment that is probably what I would tell her.It would also depend on the relationship you have with her and how comfortable you feel with her.

Bytw, congratulations on your new bundle of joy!

My DH and I did our big reveal at 13 weeks. Regarding ignorant people, you are what you answer to. I wouldn't waste my time thinking about it, anger is so toxic.

Jerayskin · December 2011

My best friend's kids are 11 1/2 months apart. She used to tell people, "what can I say my husband just can't keep his hands off of me!"

delg23 · December 2011

Got pregnant when DS was 8 months. I decided to preemptively say it was planned when I broke the news. Which is partially true. long story.

Gorillakisses15 · December 2011

Our 2nd child was not planned, but I never told anyone that. I felt that it was none of their business and that even though I did not plan it, it was in the plans somewhere.

You could always just ask them why they are so darned interested in your sex life.

I like this one Yes

Well I am really turning some heads and sparking the darnest comments. DD is only 4 1/2 months old and I am almost 9 weeks.

I have gotten a lot of "you are going to have your hands full" comments.

My response is "better to be full than empty"

Just try to ignore them. They just have diarrhea of the mouth!

You could also come back with....we are actually kind of bummed...we were hoping for twins this time! Congrats! 2 under 2 is full of fun~!

Here's a good go to response that will shut people up: "Well, we were trying to use condoms, but the Vietnamese prostiutute we hired for the night wasn't putting it on correctly so we ended up not using it. Besides, it was just getting in the way of the heroin."

Just kidding! You can always tell them it's God's plan. People generally don't like to talk about God.

Too funny! My first thought would be to have a sarcastic/witty comment ready...or say something like, "Wow. I forgot that you had no manners." and then walk away.

Or try, "Well, we were hoping for twins the first time, so we really wanted another baby. Maybe we will get the twins this time! I am going for an even dozen in the end!"

All in all, the only thoughts and feelings that matter are yours and your husband's. The world is full of A-holes, and most of them stink! Hopefully, they stay out of your way

I would say "we wanted our kids close in age and feel so blessed that it happened so easy for us."

judahsmommy1 · December 2011

I have a friend who suggested that when people make comments you say, "Yeah... so do you spit or swallow?" And then when they give you a very shocked look you say, "I'm sorry. Was that inappropriate? I thought we were talking about our very private and personal sex lives."
