people's negative remarks
By mrs-daisy » Posted Apr. 30, 2016 8:17pm - 554 views - 5 comments

I am feeling so down today, so i'm writing to get this off my chest.
I am sick and tired of people's stupid questions and negative remarks, here are the ones that have me wired up.
"Are you excited or apprehensive?"
"you're going to need ear plugs" and any other comment about sleepless nights!
I will not be made to feel like i am inadequate of being a parent or incapable of doing adult things!
YES this pregnancy was planned and YES i am excited and No i'm not going to need ear plugs because i will not just ignore my baby and Yes there will be sleepless nights but thats what comes with having a baby! My baby, that my husband and i created together so we could have a family. I have NEVER said to anyone who was pregnant "oh gee all that pooing and crying and spit up that's going to be so stressful"
No. Because you just don't go saying shit like that to a happy couple who chose this path in life. Right? so if you are reading this, what remarks, questions have been said to you that you are sick of?

	Comment from mrs-daisy » Posted May. 2, 2016 8:40pm wow nice to know i'm definitely not alone in this. thanks to all who commented and you are right, i know they will change their tone once the baby comes but i'm sure they will they have different opinions and remarks on how to raise a child. but i just have to let it fly over my head.
	Comment from pbc910 » Posted May. 2, 2016 12:42pm Oh I got so many stupid comments when people found out I was pregnant with twins. I still get a lot of comments and looks when we go out and most people are like "poor you with two babies" or "you have a handful." Ugh. I'm not sure why people assume having 2 is horrible. Sure, didn't plan on 2 and it's hard sometimes but I wouldn't have it any other way. People who don't have kids assume that all the crying, pooing, and peeing is going to be horrible but I'm anyone that has kids or has experience with them knows that's all part of the package!
	Comment from Giggledust » Posted May. 2, 2016 4:19am I have had every thing imaginable said to me in the past, I was only 18 when I had my son 10 years ago so as you can imagine there were alot of comments. But once baby was born people quickly changed there tone. Try not to let people s pety comments get to you and remember that this is about you, your baby and husband, not every random person that thinks you somehow need there input. Like you don't know it's going to be hard at times. Chin up hun
	Comment from 00rl00 » Posted May. 1, 2016 6:03pm I am about five months along with my second little one and due near the end of August. I have had multiple people tell me how uncomfortable I'll be during the hot summer months. Well thank goodness I have air conditioning in my home and I'm already pretty aware of how uncomfortable the end of pregnancy can be despite the season. Ours was planned as well so I was well aware of the possible due date before conceiving. Keep opinions to yourself people!
	Comment from stillfuntryin » Posted Apr. 30, 2016 10:00pm I don't agree on the ear plug comment and no self respecting mother would every use ear plugs but as annoying as these comments are they are a reality, yes all the pooing and vomiting and crying is stressful, you question every part of you that you are doing the right or wrong thing, those first few weeks are horrible! There is no denying it! I have done IVF for my babies so they are defiantly planned but you lose a lot of yourself in becoming a mother, it is such an amazing thing and I would never change a minute of it.
