Moms of two or more

We are having our third, just started telling people, and while everyone seems happy overall, the comments we are getting are so weird. Like "WOW HOW UNEXPECTED! At least you won't be your biggest during this heat." And, "What's one more right!" Um, whatever happened to congratulations? Lol. Is this what I'm in for for the remainder of this pregnancy?

You can probably also expect to hear "You know they know what causes this now, right?"

hvwitham · August 2015

Super, can't wait, lol.

:Raises Hand: Me. My youngest will be 2 in October. I work in a Drs office and most regular pt come in 2-3 times per year so they still think my youngest is under 1... I am sure Ill get the "Already!?" Or other comments alike.

hvwitham · August 2015

People are so charming.

txbrideinblue · August 2015

I am bracing myself for this. And also bracing myself for the comments I will surely get when this turns out to be my 3rd boy.

NO, we are not going to try for a 4th, bozos. Blow me.

camusoh2011 · August 2015

Yup. I've gotten the "so you're done after this right?" "why would you have another right now" "but your youngest is only 1" and so on. I also had my mother recently grill me about when we were moving because we can't continue to live where we are with another baby. Thanks, I hadn't realized that. I'm so glad I have someone who lives in a shed telling me about where I should be living. grrrr

I have 3 boys and EVERYONE! says Oh i hope its a girl! Don't jinx me, ya jerks!!

Timmysgal02 · August 2015

I did get that a lot with my 3rd, not so much this time with my 4th, but people most close to us know we've wanted 4!!

DaisyTortilla · August 2015

I got it mainly from my parents...everyone else was actually surprisingly awesome about it. I thought I wouldn't hear the end of it because this baby will officially make us 3 under 3!

Reinhrs · August 2015

Hate to say it but prepare for more. I've heard plenty with this being our fourth and having only one girl so far.

Latina211508 · August 2015

I'm pregnant with my fourth. I haven't told any of my side yet but I'm pretty sure I will get some of those comments. I have a 6,4 and 2 year old

MississippiCatfish · August 2015

I got my first, "Woah, how many of those are ya gonna have!?" Yesterday. I don't know if I was just in a good mood, but it didn't bother me. I think it's crazy awesome that we get to have a THIRD child. Some people dream of it but can't for a plethora of reasons. Nobody's raining on my parade.

hvwitham · August 2015

Ah yes, I'm sure everyone will be assuming we're hoping for a girl since we've got 2 boys already. Sorry people, 3 boys would be just fine. *heads explode*

morgantrowbridge · August 2015

I have 2 year old twins and people are either excited for us or think we're insane. People don't know how to censor themselves anymore.

Vkrosa · August 2015

Oh I got a good one!! This is my third also and I was told by I guess an acquaintance now "wow!! your husband should get fixed" umm yeah thanks my husband manly parts are none of your business.

g8trkim · August 2015

Most people are absolutely wonderful but some just don't get it. We have a boy and a girl so a few people have made the "but you already have one of each" comment. And some assume this baby was a surprised. Like after two children I forgot what birth control is. LOL

How rude? Sadly, I don't find it shocking that people would be bold enough to say this. I pray someone tells me this so I can make a smart a$$ remark.

pinkluna5 · August 2015

I hear that as well like they are the ones supporting our family.

We got this too...like just b/c you already have 1 boy and 1 girl you shouldn't have anymore. People just seriously do not think.

ladybutler · August 2015

We have 3 girls and we heard all the time so when are you trying for a boy. No one knows we are pregnant again. We probably won't announce till baby is born (we live out of state) this was a surprise pregnancy but we are happy to add to our crazy crew sex of this one doesn't matter to us.

babymakes8ofus · August 2015

This baby Will be Numbers six. When we were pregnant with our first. Every one was yayyy and congrats. Second was omg congrats third was ok hope it's a boy. Fourth was again. Fifth was omg your crazy. I have yet to tell anyone about this peanut because I don't need any negative comments .

My response is "Whipped cream and sleeping kids" or for the prison crowd (my DH is a corrections officer) "Whipped cream and handcuffs" Shuts them down every time.
