Yeah I'm beginning to think that people may not be aware of how they come off to people. I know I didn't before having kids! I just was naive to the gender comments and was shocked when we announced DS2 was a boy! I only wanted boys and was surprised when people didn't believe me when I said that. It's true! I guess people found it hard to believe that I only wanted boys. Of course now I'm open to the idea of having a girl and think it would be awesome now.

I wish I could understand why a woman getting pregnant makes other people feel that they need to demonstrate how inappropriate and rude they really are????
It will never make any sense to me.....
Why can't people just be happy for one another? I swear having a child can bring out the ass in people. I can understand an old woman losing her filter, but geesh! I have learned so much from all of this! I mean unless people go HT the outcome is out of people's hands. Yet it seems with the comments and questions it seems people have forgotten that. Of course wouldn't we all want to wave a magic wand or be granted our wishes, but we know that rarely happens!

Omg Xx!!!!! I am SO HAPPY FOR YOU! !!!! Congrats! !!! I have been off here for a while. I am so glad to know someone from the ttc board! How far along are you?!
Sorry about the comments. I know exactly how you feel. Luckily my DH is an only child so I don't have a sis in law to drive me bonkers! My sister and in laws both know my sensitivity to those kinds of comments so they are good. I struggle with the complete strangers who feel I need their 2 cents! Also I work know a salon for a living and clients are close behind strangers for worst comments. I am just 12 wks and have told only the ones who are my actual friends. I'm pretty much going to fake it till people say something. And I will probably not reveal the gender or any names to them if we find out we're having a 3rd boy. The nasty things will fly out of their mouths regardless!
Chin up! Know I am thinking of you and going through all the same things!
Congrats again! I know it was a long journey.
Just popping in to say, it is great to see you EmileeJane and I'm so happy for you that you have hit 12 weeks!!
Everyone else has already said my feelings on the matter of stupid gender comments :)
Thank you! I'm 8weeks 1day! My due date is 12/03/2015, and we are super excited!Quote:
