I feel like no one is excited for my new baby!

Everyone's reaction so mean!!!! We have a one year old so our family and friends think we're crazy. There reactions and comments have been so crazy rude. It's actually comical at this point.

Ive been laughing it off but I feel like I'm at the point that I may tell the next person who has a comment off, lol.

We're perfectly stable and able to care for another little one. Will it be crazy and hard, yes, but I just can't believe all the negativity!!!!!

I am constantly surprised by how little tact some people have!

A baby is always something to be celebrated - just try to brush them off!

Seriously, people stink. I've gotten so many mean comments about having a third boy. I can't stand it.

Just try to brush it off and not let it get to you.

And congrats!

So many people have said things about me having another girl- along the lines of my poor husband or saying he must be disappointed and he must want a son.. it's ridiculous.. Best part is that if I had to have picked between a boy or girl I would have wanted another girl bc I wanted DD to have a sister, but obviously we were just praying for a healthy baby.

Re: Random vent


Sorry people are being azzholes about it. I think it's wonderful that you're having 2 so close together! Just think of the amazing bond they'll have with each other growing up! DH and his sister are 13 months apart and they are like two peas in a pod. It's the main reason we want to have ours close together. Tell everyone else who has something negative to say to shove it!

Re: Random vent

We are expecting our third girl in June so we will have a newborn, a 2yo, and a 4yo. DH is a total "guys' guy" but is SO involved and attached to our girls. Meanwhile, all we hear about is how disappointed he must be! MIL has even told me she "feels so awful that he didn't get his boy." I felt like telling her I "felt so awful for burdening her with another amazing granddaughter when the baby was already getting the guilt trip before she's even born." I didn't though.

I don't think you need to be nasty but I'd say the next time someone brings it up you have every right to mention the lack of well wishes and support you and your baby are getting. Maybe you could say something like "we are thrilled so it's a little difficult to hear that others aren't happy for us." For the record, every baby is a blessing and once she is born I'm sure people will be less snarky.

You can't win. Screw em all.

People are ridiculous and should mind their own business.
We are having our third - and all I hear is ANOTHER!!!!!!!!!
We have two girls already - we are team green - and all I hear is - I PRAY ITS A BOY! Why if it is another girl should I give it away.
People are just seriously stupid!
