It really annoys me when people say..."...."

[keekeesaurus]

1. So, now you've finished your treatment are you going to try for the patter of tiny feet? (none of your business)
2. Aren't you too old? (no I'm not you cheeky mare)
3. Are you thinking of IVF/adoption? (not that it's any of your business but can we at least try to conceive naturally first and then see? Would that be ok with you?)
4. You look like you've put a bit of weight on...you're not *pats tummy* are you? (No, I'm menstruating thanks, and please don't touch me)
5. So...are you doing lots of practising atm? (yes, we're having sex at every opportunity. Last night we did it by the freezer section in Sainsburys, the cold air's good for the sperm)

I could go on...and on...

...what things that thoughtless (but well meaning) people say annoy YOU?

 

[Mindy_mini]

Oh mine was "well now you're married we shall expect the pitter patter if tiny feet soon?"

Urm when we're ready and not because you expect it thank!!!!

Love this one, had it several times. Most worryingly before I was even ttc The most mortifying occasion was a couple of years ago when my moms neighbour who has known me since I was 3 asked infront of my mom. Whilst venting my upset to my mother afterwards she remarked, Well you have put a bit of weight on recently. Thanks mom! lol

 

[arlosmama]

mine is since we have a little boy everyone says...

"Now you need to try for that girl"

or the worst is..

"You don't want him to be an only child".

If he does wind up being an only child he will be just fine...but no I don't and I am working my tail off and no results. But if you tell anyone you are trying then the first question of every conversation is..."Do you have something to tell me?"

Or, if for some reason I don't have a drink at dinner or someone's house someone always has to slide by me and say..."oh...youre not drinking...gee...I wonder why"

Most of these people always tend to be people who have children. How do they not know any better?

My mother asked me if i was pregnant, as she said i had a puffed face on a photo i sent! I booked a facial straight after that! Nice one mum! Not!

 

[readyformore]

I actually had someone say to me last week,

coworker-"Smack me if I'm wrong, but are you expecting?"

me-"Well you better step back, because I'm not, and you're about to get smacked."

coworker-"Gosh, I'm so sorry. I just haven't seen you in awhile and I thought that. . . "

me-"What? My stomach looked bigger and you needed to comment on it? Why on earth would you do that? It's just rude."

coworker-"I'm sorry"

Needless to say, she left the room, I didn't say goodbye, then I went out and complained to every other coworker on the floor, lol!

I have never had a person suggest I was pregnant based on my appearance. It was great timing for that entire conversation too. I had just started my 14th unwanted period and was gearing up for IUI. Talk about pouring salt on an open wound.

 

[Sus09]

Oh ready

 

[lisap2008]

"Still trying huh ?" said from my friend who I helped move last week. ( we have been ttc since 2008, and it was the way she said it like I am dumb for still trying). in response I just smiled and said yes we are.
"honestly I think your a little old to have any more kids" said from a male friend on facebook."
" lisa you dont need any more kids, do you want any more at your age?" said from my stepmom.

I will get pregnant soon and show them I am not too old.

As a bonafide smartass, I feel it's my duty to reply those thoughtless types in a befitting manner.

1. So, now you've finished your treatment are you going to try for the patter of tiny feet?

Paws. We do it doggie style.

2. Aren't you too old?

Aren't you too old to be so rude?

3. Are you thinking of IVF/adoption?

No, I'm thinking about STFU.

4. You look like you've put a bit of weight on...you're not *pats tummy* are you?

You're right, I AM suffering from explosive diarrhea. MOVE!

5. So...are you doing lots of practising atm?

No, we only fuck professionally. You should visit our webcam at www.nosyassholes.com

My worst is "just relax and it will happen" what BS and even if it is true tell me how do I relax exactly?? a co worker who is in her twenties told me the other day," well if you got pregnant before then I think it is psychosomatic and you are stressed and stopping yourself." Since when did you qualify as a specialist? and what are you basing that on? Why does everyone presume it is my fault they never look at OH and say he has a problem or should try meds yet I am the healthy one and he smokes and drinks. Grrr shouldn´t have got started on this thread now I´m all wound up..must relax.lol

I have too that annoy the hell out of me:

1. Why do you want more when the two you have are just getting at the age you have your freedom?

Well excuse me, we have been trying since our last was born 13 years ago..it just hasn't happened

2. Well at least you have kids its worse if you don't have any?

Excuse me? Don't write my feelings off, this has been absolutely devestating for us..end of.

 

[Viking15]

You aren't getting any younger, you know.

Really? I didn't know that. I thought time worked differently for me than it does for everyone else. I thought I was actually getting younger every day while everyone else was getting older!

 

[crystal443]

LOL Viking..that is true

[mumof3girls]

Haha that is hilarious lol I really hate the one about relax and it will happen! Well hows this for shoving it up their butts I got pregnant when I was the most stressed ever!! Ha!!gosh that annoyed me so much and the one where people always say your not going to have more kids are u?? Don't you think you have enough? Yes I have 3 girls, yes my dh has 5 kids, yes that makes 7 kids between us. No I want more !!!! Ha ha now that I'm pregnant I can't wait to see what people say u know what annoys me the most? When we go out ( my eldest and my youngest and me) people always say quite loudly " that's disgusting she is way too young to have a kid meaning my 19 Yr old daughter lol I'm she would have been 15 if she had had a 4 year old lol I always say I'm no what's disgusting is you presuming, not that its any of your business but they are both my children thankyou, and do u know what they always walk away mumbling it's so disgusting she is so young for a kid I don't believe it one bit that their both her children !!! Omg why is that so hard to believe that a 38 Yr old woman would have a 19 Yr old and a 4 Yr old??? They would much rather believe the lie, that my daughter would have a kid at 15??? Lol people are so rude!! What gives them the right to think they can judge and actually say something? Do we have a sign on our heads that say please judge and please please say something to us a complete stranger coz we really need your narrow minded opinions lol you know what it would surprise me that when I'm popping out more that people will believe that I'm having a child for my eldest daughter, coz it couldn't be mine!!!! Grrr makes me so mad lol

 

[Natsby]

Mum of three girls, this must be a modern thing because up until birth control it was normal to have lots of kids of all ages. My MIL was the second to youngest of ten, so her eldest sibling was a good 18 years older than her, maybe more I can´t remember. The eldest helped with the youngest and it was the way it went. People are too quick to forget and think that the way they are used to is the only way! happy and healthy nine months.

 

[alison29]

Wow boy/ girl twins! At least you got it all out of the way at once.

 

[SuperAwesome]

1. Relax and it will happen.

I AM RELAXED!!!! (Wave your arms around for emphasis)

My best friend is fond of saying, "When you really want it to happen, it'll happen."

So...I'm just pretend-wanting it now?

 

[mumof3girls]

Oh superawesome that is so funny isn't it true though lol I got that all the time coz we are not really trying that hard huh? Lol with my eldest just after I had her I got my first night off and she was about 6-8 weeks old and I was at a birthday party and a lady came up to me and said "when are u due?" and I was so embarrassed when I said um I had her 6-8 weeks ago, I felt like crying It was awful
