I hope you had a...First, happy birthday yesterday. I hope you had a nice birthday. I won't get started on my rant about birth/pregnancy/kids. It pretty much falls in line with how you feel and other comments made. Like your other friend we get the comment (after saying we might be done with 2) about it being because we have a boy and a girl. That really bugs me. Like the only perfect family has one of each and no more. Anyway, if it cheers you up any, I was driving home today, obeying the 20mph speed limit in our complex and when I parked the car that had been tailing me honked and gave me the gesture we all know. A lot of people are just rude in many aspects of life. Pregnancy/babies/birth just seems to be where people really shine at it.Rebeccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10592414857551427565noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4337043235779536999.post-79317431812572087482008-12-19T12:42:00.000-06:002008-12-19T12:42:00.000-06:00I loved the post and all the comments!

I've gotten lots of slack with each child and to top it off most of the time people think I'm 12 which makes their comments more obnoxious.<BR/>I have to laugh, cause I am happier than most people I know who have advanced double degrees who work 60 hours a week and I have one or two children (and are giving me flack for my choice in the number of children I have) - and I'm actually still happily married.

It is funniest coming from those currently in my department. Then they find out that we have 2. Now they are finding out that we will have 3. It is really funny to me to watch them not have anything to say. <BR/><BR/>I do have the fortune of working with a professor who has like 12 (about half adopted.) No one says anything because of the community I live in. When people ask us how many kids we are going to have, I sometimes say, Well I want 4 and Kathrine wants 7 so that makes 11. They normally laugh and realize to themselves how slightly inappropriate the comment had been. I suggest Elder Worthlin's talk from the last general conference.

I think that people should just support the idea that what works for your family is best for your family. And that what works for someone else is best for their family. And not confuse the two!Sam Ransomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16279729350195280884noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4337043235779536999.post-51350255840148134162008-12-14T22:09:00.000-06:002008-12-14T22:09:00.000-06:00Yeah, who are these people whose moms never taught...Yeah, who are these people whose moms never taught them to mind their own business?Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04283679668845997329noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4337043235779536999.post-27879414261594607202008-12-14T20:39:00.000-06:002008-12-14T20:39:00.000-06:00My response is they get better and better - I thin...My response is they get better and better - I think the early years are the hardest!Gramhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16916787315157803226noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4337043235779536999.post-38944047365836436702008-12-14T20:28:00.000-06:002008-12-14T20:28:00.000-06:00I think you should add: Do not ask people who don'...I think you should add: Do not ask people who don't have kids why they don't have kids or when they will have kids.
