    I'll go first....

    I don't like people who post pictures of their bump every day on Facebook. No offence, it's just boring as s**t and if it happens more than twice I mute them.

    Yep, knowing from experience that other people aren't as interested in the ten months as I am. I mainly post updates and photos from milestones and sonograms. I may be obsessed with my baby but it isn't the only thing going on in my life.

    Yes, I keep baby talk to a minimum socially as it's not everyone's cup of tea :)

    It drives me nuts to see all of the fuss on celebrity baby fashionistas. I look at the uber designer duds on littles and it just seems like a complete waste of money that could be better used and appreciated elsewhere. In general I can't relate to the high fashion styles of the rich and narcissistic.

    I cannot stand people that fake pregnancies and then fake miscarriages it's so disrespectful to those who try for years to conceive and always end in miscarriage.. There's one person I know that is doing her 5th fake pregnancy and it is always right when her boyfriend breaks up with her then ends right when the belly should start ( I'm not just assuming it's fake I could go into more detail of proof they've all been fake) and they really milk it on Facebook and Instagram taking pictures of everything they eat saying pregnancy cravings grrrr

    I am right there with you! I can't justify paying high amounts for clothing or shoes especially with kids! They outgrow things so quickly and my kids are rough on their clothes/shoes so we don't really splurge on these things. We aren't dressing them in rags but I am not paying a huge amount for clothes & shoes they will outgrow in 2/3 months time;)

    My parents have 5 kids. The most obnoxious comment was "are they Catholic or careless." We loved being in a big noisy family :)

    Yes we get asked if we are Catholic a lot! We aren't but have friends who are. One of my good friends is catholic. She is one of five as well and she also has five children. I think it's great! A lot of my friends have larger families. My DH is one of five ( blended like us) and I am one of four also blended. The craziest thing to me is we get some of these comments from our own families!!! I know strangers are going to say these things but I guess I expected a little more from family. It's quite annoying. My sis is also pregnant and when everyone found out they were so overjoyed.
    It's her second. When I told them I was expecting all we got was "Another one" or "Again... Are you going to get fixed this time" or nothing. I don't expect them to be through the moon we are having another baby but I wished they wouldn't be so rude!

    Wow I couldn't agree more! When I was going through my m/c my sister suddenly claimed she'd had one too because I was getting too much of my mom's attention and she couldn't stand it. It's not always easy for some of us to have a family as others (she has 4 kids).

    I grew up as oldest of seven, got the Catholic comment a lot...
    It was awesome growing up with so many playmates! Though I don't think I want quite as many, definitely going for 4!!
    The best comment I got was from MIL when we announced pregnancy. "This will be my baby because the ____'s already have enough kids." She has 5 kids herself, not to mention this isn't her baby...
