I get the feeling that woman was under some kind of stress, and she took it out on you for no reason at all. Don''t take it personally, it really was HER problem. If i ever come across someone who says something like that to me i will just ask "Are you ok? It seems like you are having a bad day?".
That lady was just plain mean ! Her comments were rude and completely unnecessary.
Your family sounds lovely to me.
Sorry you had to be on the receiving end of her ignorance. She doesn't sound like much of a person, let alone a mother. It sounds like you have wonderful boys! :)
I can't believe how rude she was. When I read these post I always make up images in my head like a movie. Here is what I picture.... Your boys having fun having with each other as playmates so lucky to be brothers. You looking so cute with your adorable baby in a sling. You are making motherhood look easy, peaceful and fun. Then I picture the other lady... Ugly, bad die job of a hair color, possibly missing some teeth, raspy smokers voice making her rude comments. Then I see her daughters beautiful little girls who my heart breaks for them having Cruella de Vil (from 101 Dalmatians) as there mother. I do not know if this helps but if I saw you today I would have told you how much i love seeing three of kind any gender and then told my boys to jump in and go play.
OMG what a freaking bitch!!!!
I'm so sorry you had a run-in like that! It continues to amaze me what people will say when they see 3+ of a kind, regardless of the gender.
I have four boys and I attract nasty comments everywhere. My boys are sweet and well behaved too. Not agressive at all. Most of the "wow, you got your hands full" comments I don't mind. But some people are downright mean. A lady in my son's gymnastics class said, "oh 4 boys, how awful! I have a boy and a girl, and I can tell you that having a girl is SO special, you just can't be a mom without one. I NEED my girl so much its just not the same at all with boys. Girls are just more special. So sad you have all boys." I was so stunned with her rudeness I just didn't know what to say. All I thought was what a B@tch! Now I wish I had said, "well, I feel sorry for your son then..." or something to have embarrassed her.
Fun family that's rough! I will say though ... as a mom of all girls you hear "Oh, wouldn't want to be in your shoes when you've got all those teenage daughters." I was LITERALLY in labor and one of the nurses said to me "THREE girls? My one daughter is SO dramatic. I'm so sorry for you!" From an L&D nurse. I told her maybe it was a parenting issue and not a gender issue since my two daughters were just lovely. And it felt REALLY nice to say that.
The comments I hate the most those are the ones people make in front of my older children ... DD1 is 6 and it's not like she doesn't get it when someone makes a remark about having all girls being some kind of tragedy. She (DD1) actually asked me last week if I picked all girls and I told her no, it's chance whether you have boys or girls, but that I couldn't think of anything better than her and her two sisters. I absolutely HATE that people make my child question her value in our family because of her gender.
Oh my, yes, yes yes to this. My oldest are twins, almost 9, and they are very sweet and sensitive and caring. I HATE when people make rude comments about how awful it must be to have all boys in front of them. They are not stupid. They get it and it HURTS people! Its so wrong and makes me furious when people comment in front of them, as if I shouldn't want them because they are boys.Quote:
