Gosh some people really are clueless arnt they, please don't take any notice, im sure you are a wonderful mum and your boys are a credit to you and your husband. People like that really wind me up, when I was over 20 wks pg with ds3 I asked a friend what I should get my dh for his birthday, she replied 'a baby girl', she meant it as a joke but I didn't take it that way and was so so upset for my boy. Weve only just started talking again after almost 3 years ;-)

I genuinely think people are generally just stupid and inconsiderate; that is why they say such thoughtless, hurtful things and more than likely don't even realise that they are stupid and hurtful. They will pass this negativity/ hurtful thoughtlessness onto their kids, and then they will be surprised when their kids act like little brats. It sounds like your boy is a credit to you and showed off how good his mama's parenting skills are. Just ignore them Hun, they clearly don't have enough going on in their own lives to be so fascinated by yours xx

Urgh people can be so vile! Keep your chin up hun you are obviously a fanastic mummy to have such well behaved big family. Good for you. I'd bet you any money those people are unhappy as when you truly happy inside you don't go out of your way to make othes feel bad! I so hope you are getting your pink bundle this time

I've only got the 3 boys, but I get that too. I live in an area where large families are very rare. The worst is when I take the three grocery shopping... and people see what a huge cart of food it takes to feed our family for a week. Everyone has a comment about so many boys then.

I really don't understand why anyone would think it is their place to comment on your family. You all are much nicer than I will be when the comments come. I am sure if your kids are around then you need to be a little nicer. We need to start a thread called "Smart ass answers to smart ass comments". Like when someone says "you have your hands full"... "I would rather have my hands full than empty". Or when people say "you have 6 kids certainly you aren't going to have anymore" to which I would say "yes actually, we are planning to having 6 girls next". People can be so rude... calling you the Mom of 6 boys like you don't have a name??

Totally agree with what has already been said and I admire you for being able to stay calm and polite (not sure if I would be able to), and also having a large family. It is a wonderful thing and I bet your boys are all beautiful and so well behaved. Not like the ignorant bigots who had such pathetic sad lives tht they had to be so disrespectful, rude and downright mean.

Wantingpink- sounds like a brilliant idea to me!

Wow that was totally out of order.

I honestly think that some people think we are given lots of boys as some sort of punishment and they are more deserving if they have a PP.

I get comments a lot on the way I parent my children, particularly breastfeeding, and a lot of the time I just smile and let my awesome kids speak for themselves. However, having some replies in your back pocket can be pretty fun - for me, "When is he going to wean?" is a frequent question. My answer is usually, "Well, I hope before he goes to college, or he'd better choose somewhere close to home!"

My best friend is currently trying for baby number seven. I am so, so glad that she is putting seven healthy, happy humans in the world. I come from a very judgmental family, though, and have come to see judgmental people for what I think they often are - trying desperately to justify the decisions they've made by making themselves feel "better" than someone else. All it shows is bitterness, to me. The people I know who are truly happy don't need to prove it to themselves by making others unhappy.

Sounds to me like you have a pretty good grasp on all of this (and your skin probably got pretty thick around Baby #4, I bet - that seems to be when the "Oh my gosh, are they ALL yours?!" comments start rearing their head for most of the mommas I know). Smiling, nodding, and letting them keep their pettiness for themselves while you let your family shower you and that growing babe with love shows what a lovely person you are - and, as far as I'm concerned, we need way more lovely people in this world, so keep at it, Momma. <3
