I'm not trying to start any religous debate here or anything but I have heard this a few times too. My response is, I believe what the Bible says, no one knows when the last day will be. So, I will be seeing my baby when baby is ready.

I hate that some people just have to make comments that are just not necessary!

Normally when someone says something like this to me, I just make a snotty remark back - but last week I was so over emotional that when someone jokingly said "Awww too bad your baby is due the day after the world ends, at least you wont have to go through labor" I burst into tears and sobbed for a good 10 minutes- they will never make a comment like that again. I think I scared him for life.

I laugh about it. I've cracked more than a few jokes about it being a coincidence that my son is due to be born on the same day the world is supposed to end.

I would have said... "yeah, really wish I didn't stop drinking these last 8 months!"

People are flucking idiots.

Act completely surprised. "What?? I had no idea!".

The "world" will not end on December 21st. People can be so stupid.

My students have all decided that my kid will be the messiah/savior if he or she is born on December 21. It's kind of strange, but I just laugh it off because really, what do you say to that? I guess I'd rather hear that than "too bad you won't get to meet your baby because the world is gonna explode."

My EDD is Pearl Harbor Day. I've actually had people tell me, "Oh, you don't want to have your baby then, that's such a depressing day." I'd love to know what they'd actually suggest I do to prevent that from happening.

Personally, I think it'd be kind of cool to have your baby on December 21. Some people say the world is going to end, but the main theory, as far as I know, is that it signifies some major shift in our world, which could be good or bad, but it isn't necessarily the world exploding and everyone going poof. Not that I think my kid is going to change the world or whatever, but it's better than hearing people say "it's too bad your kid was born on one of the most depressing days in history."

Your should have reminded them about Y2K and how that panned out...

Just tell them that last you checked, Myans didn't do leap years, so that theory is pretty effed.

This is priceless.

How ridiculous. If someone said that to me I'd just give them a "you are batsh!t crazy!" look and walk away.

Yeah, we've heard several comments about our "Armageddon Baby". Zip it!
