Why is it that...

[PeonyPrincess]

I agree. Besides, I grew up with 3 older brothers, and I had a great childhood!

Same here! And although I would have loved a little sister, I just befriended all the other girls in the neighbourhood instead!

Yuzu, I had a man tell me how big I was with DS1 (because you really want someone saying that in those last few weeks). I asked him how many weeks he was! Honestly, take a look in the mirror you rude people!!

The only comments that really bother me are the "which one of you is getting fixed?" questions.

I had to laugh--do people even think before they speak?

I get people telling me that my DD now needs a sister "with all those big brothers...poor thing". I just laugh it off and tell them we are done, but I always feel the need to mention that we wanted 4 and if she was a boy we were still done--which is the truth. I too have people peering into my stroller to see what she is when they see me out and about with three boys. the funny thing is a lot of the time she's wearing gender neutral onesies since it's so hot here and i just make them wonder only a few have had the nerve to ask!

oh yeah and my SIL's boyfriend actually asked if I want to become octomom when I was pregnant!?? WTF!

There are definitely some inconsiderate and rude people on the planet, but I actually believe that most of the time those comments from strangers are just people trying to be friendly and strike up conversation. Do they end up sticking their foot in their mouths? Yes. Would it probably have been better if they hadn't? Yes. But I can't believe that most people actually intend to be offensive. They just don't think.
I hope that's the truth of it anyway, sad world if they all mean to be a#*holes.

Several people have told me they hope this baby is a boy so DS could have a brother. Yes, I agree, that was one of the reasons I wanted another boy. But what really bothers me are the comments like, "Oh, your poor DS and DH if this is another girl!" like their lives will be AWFUL if there isn't another boy in the family! I did what I could, I swayed, and I am going to have plenty of GD on my own if the sway didn't work (and I am pretty sure it didn't). I don't need other people being so lame and making stupid comments! Really, there are lots of families with only one son, and they are just fine!

Yeah I totally agree Hobbers...my brother was the only boy amongst 3 sisters and he turned out fine!! I DO hate how other people talk so much shit when it's not their family or they're not even going to have live it!!
