Not everyone holds the same opinions. I honestly don't understand having 8 children when there are thousands of children without homes. Adopting an 8th child would be exciting news. An accident that's an 8th child isn't.
A post like this is rude to the women on this site that have had 6 miscarriages and have no living children or women who are honestly here for pregnancy advice. Its insensitive plain and simple.
Dude. You are so out of line right now. You don't get to say that having a large family is wrong because there are kids without homes. Not okay. With that line of thinking, why would you even have one?
There is absolutely nothing insensitive about @wagvan asking for thoughts on her pregnancy announcement for her baby, due in February. On the February forum. That's literally what it's here for.
A large family may not be your style, but there's absolutely nothing wrong with it. You're being pretty insensitive yourself, marching onto her post and criticizing her choices and her family. Gross.

I'm assuming you are going to adopt all of your children then?? What's the difference if she has 2 kids or 8? As long as she is able to support them, I say go for it. It has absolutely zero effect on you.
I think your posts have been far more insensitive to the people who choose to have multiple children than OPs post was to anyone else on this board.

WTF is wrong with you? This is a board of pregnant women. Why on Earth would this post be inappropriate? How hateful to shame someone for having healthy children. Every baby is a celebration. You suck at life!
How is the post insensitive to women who've had miscarriages?? This is a bump month board is it not? If looking at children or reading about someones 8th child offends you , you're in the wrong place lady.
I wanted to say that the post does not offend me. I have lost three babies and have yet to have one to hold in my arms. Despite this, I do not see how the OP has offended me in anyway.
Congratulations on lucky number eight! Each child is a blessing.

A post like this is rude to the women on this site that have had miscarriage after miscarriage and have no living children or women who are honestly here for pregnancy advice. This is a ridiculous post looking for attention and Its insensitive plain and simple.
How is a child who (albeit might have been a surprise) will be loved and cared for by responsible mature adults and loved by so many be rude or insulting. How is it insensitive for someone to have a large family. That's like me saying it's rude of you to eat ice cream because I'm lactose intolerant. It is rude and insensitive to say that a mother who is clearly excited about adding to her family is just looking for attention. Lord help you and yours if that's your attitude. I hope this is your first so that you can muster up the excitement to give a damn about it.

Apparently we aren't supposed to talk about our pregnancies on a pregnancy board for fear of offending those struggling. Who knew? I imagine she has reported every single post on every single BMB for their insensitive nature.
Yikes. I'm on baby number 5. I was worried that my family wouldn't have the same enthusiasm as they did for my first 2. But then I realized it didn't matter. Because WE are excited and enthusiastic for this baby. And I made an announcement for this LO because we are excited and want to share the news with others. I love the picture @wagvan and I'm so glad your announcement was received with love and support!
Thanks again ladies. I'm trying to take the high ground here, so I appreciate those of you who have spoken up for me and my family. I am not sure what bracecurran's deal is since she has attacked me on here twice. I'm not sure if she is just a bitter, nasty, hateful person, or is just incredibly wounded herself from others saying the things that she is saying here, to her. As many of you pointed out, a lot of what she said wasn't even logical. Once again, thank you. And blessings on each of your babies and pregnancies! Love to you all.

And this baby was a surprise and not an accident. An accident is something bad that you'd never want to happen again. A surprise is something wonderful that you didn't even know you wanted and needed until it is given to you.
