Yes, some childless people are rude too, it’s only fair to say that as well. The dental hygienist was rude, sure, but I think it was supposed to be a joke.
I say if you have 7 kids, more power to ya! But, if you say that everyone should have 7 as well, and if they choose not to they’re sinners or something, that’s wrong.
Not saying YOU do that. Just reiterating the point. The reverse is true also as you point out.
Fascinating...
So, the problem isn't with my choice, or yours - it's basically a bunch of opinionated louts who don't have the social graces to mind their own business!
Perhaps a nicely phrased comment like... MIND YOUR OWN BUSINESS...is what is needed.
I'll try that in the future.
After I step on their foot, by accident - of course.
You should've slapped her across the face for that.
“Also, she thinks she has it bad? The childless and 2.5 children families are just as obnoxious about big families. She should try having 7 children...people are full of asinine comments (once had a dental hygienists whisper in my ear “Ever heard of birth control?”...I was 5 months pregnant with baby number 6. Really, in today’s world does anyone actually believe that someone wouldn’t know about birth control?!)”
Amen!!
My 7th just turned 8 months.
The people just get ruder and ruder.
Thank God I don’t let their opinions and rudeness be any factor in what we decide to do with our lives.
