So my older is 3 and I am expecting twin boys in May. I'm excited! I love being a boy mommy and I think my boys will be best friends (I hope). DS is going to be a great big brother.
Lately people will ask me what I am having and when I said two more boys! They make a sad face and say, oh really...didn't you want a girl..? Are you going to try for a 4th? (Um no unless a surprise miracle comes along!)
What is with people? I would never ever say anything like that to people..so rude.

Re: Rude people
I have three boys and would get that when I was pregnant with my twins. It did annoy me. Now that they are here when people see them they always say his beautiful they are and how blessed I am! People are just rude but don't let it take away from your joy:). My boys are my world I am beyond obsessed with all three of them

Re: Rude people
People are idiots... Just ignore, ignore, ignore!
I get  looks when I tell people that we are having twins, especially since we already have a 2yo. People are surprised that we're actually HAPPY about this!

Re: Rude people
I got that all the time when I was pregnant with the girls. People wold say "oh i hope it is one of each. ( We were team green.) Then you would be done and have a perfect family." The other one that always got me was "twins... Instant family." So having one child doesn't make a family??? People are very insensitive!

Re: Rude people
Oh it gets worse once they are here. People have no filter. Ive gotten pretty good at not making eye contact with people in stores. If they say something, I smile and nod and say thank you and keep moving.
We wanted b/g but knew we would be happy no matter what. And I love having g/g. Id love b/b if thats what we were having. Even if we tried for a 3rd I wouldnt care if it was another girl.
People just assume you should want what they want. Arsehats.

Re: Rude people
Oh boy, it never ends! I am sure parents of singletons get it too, but it seems like twins are just a magnet for crazy comments and unsolicited feedback. Good tip on avoiding eye contact

Re: Rude people
For a few short weeks, I thought I was having twin boys. When I told a few of my friends it was twins, I got the "Ohhh I hope it's one of each!!!" comment. Inside, I cringed. I knew I was having two boys and as COMPLETELY THRILLED!! I don't know why other people care so much what other people are having.  I told my friends that gender makes no difference, they should only be healthy make it the whole 9 months. Ha! I'm proof of that one.

My SIL and I get that from my MIL. MIL wanted a girl for her first grandchild. After she was born she only wanted a grandson. They were team green too so when BIL called MIL to tell her they had another healthy girl she said "oh that's too bad it's not a boy" and then when my twin girls were born she said it was too bad that the family name would not carry on.
She keeps pestering my SIL (who is 43) to "give her a grandson". SIL has no plans for more children, and since my pregnancy was very hard on me we have no plans for more children. One time when they were all over here visiting our babies she looked at FIL and said "don't look at me I GAVE YOU SONS! It's not my fault you have no grandsons" to which I said, Technically it's HIS fault, he made sons who make daughters!
The other day we were there for dinner and she made yet another comment to SIL (in front of her four gorgeous and healthy granddaughters) that she wanted a grandson. I finally had enough and told her she didn't deserve a grandson. She should just be happy with four healthy grand children. Her sister has 4 sons all over 40 none of them have children. I am sure she would be grateful for ANY grandchildren.
