I have 5 girls and alot of people look at us. Especially because four of my girls have kinda blonde brown hair light skin and green eyes and one has dark brown hair brown eyes and tan. I even got a comment of the one that looks different could not have the same father as the other ones. They all have the same father!! She just looks so different. I always get rude comments cuz i have all girls and everyone says oh i rather have all boys. I ignore people.
I think one of the things that makes GD so hard is also the stupid comments ,people are so rude sometimes ,best is just roll your eyes and ignore them ,they soon get the message
Or even better, ask them 'what's wrong with what I have already?' the next time someone says, 'wow, you have so many boys! Don't you want a girl?'Quote:

Wow, KYBO, I really enjoyed reading her blog :) Her boys are sweethearts.
I get this all the time too. My older two are ID twins, and have olive skin and dark brown hair. My younger two are blond, blue-eyed, and fair. They all have the same father, but the twins have my coloring and the younger boys have my DH's coloring . But I get asked a lot of questions about why they have different coloring. People sometimes ask me if my youngest is mine of if I am babysitting him. LOL.Quote:

I think the worst comments are the ones that come from family members, sister, SIL,MIL, etc... It just hurts so bad b/c they are always there you cannot get rid of them or respond back and walk away like strangers in the street.
My sister has 3 boys and she keeps nonstop talking about how bad she wants a girl and keeps telling me yes but not as bad as you want a boy, she reminds many times that I probably have a miserable life and my husband is not happy having two girls, it just hurts, she is younger than me, and she keeps reminding me that I am getting old and running out of time I should keep having kids till that boy comes.
Last weekend she told me that she met a lady at the store who had 5 girls and the baby in the stroller was a boy so she told me " well you have three to go and then you will be super happy" WTF, I try to ignore her as much as I can but deep down I am hurting really bad. My mom keeps telling me she will never get a girl, she a crazy mom, just to make me feel better, which in fact it doesn't it hurts even more.
I just told them that we decided not to have anymore kids and to stop asking when I will get pregnant , just so they would leave me alone .
I have never had a comment about me having two girls, I get a lot of comment about how cute they are!! But I don't think ANY comment is worse than the one you get from your own family, i cry all the time after I speak to my sister :(.
