Unappreciated comments from others (a rant)

[_Meep_]

Oh yeah. The one I find most annoying is when you say no to the kid about something, the kid whines or tries to bargain, you stick to your guns and then some smart **** says, "Well it looks like she's ruling the roost." Yeah right.

And Meep, if you have two children in nappies? The world shall come tumbling down, indeed. It'll be your fault, obviously.

I hate to burst your bubble, but it won't come tumbling down... Because I already tumbled it down when I had two in diapers .

Damn you, I was SO looking forward to it ...

I've found that I get fewer comments now that I have 3 kids, I think people think my children are past saving . I do get multiple variations of "you've got your hands full!" most days which is OK except when people say things like "rather you than me!" or "I bet Mummy wishes she had a time machine huh?!"

I get the hands full comment ALL the time, when I have only 2 children with me- their face is priceless when I tell them ive another 4 at home 🙊

It's the most annoying comment, I get it when they're asleep or just stood there being no bother at all?!

I also once had a woman tell me not to have any more children as you get no thanks for it 😂😂

People LOVE to give advice and opinions and I find strangers the worse, but I just let it go over my head these days.

Arghh, I hate it when people comment on a snap shot moment. I've only had it once thank god because I cried after haha.

I was on a bus and my DD had woken up from her nap and she said mummy with her dummy in and then passed me the dummy as she only had it for sleep. This little old lady turned to another passenger and Said "I'm surprised she can hardly talk with that thing in her mouth"

Made me feel so pants, it's the way she said it and looked down on me in that moment. Pipe down women I wish I had said but I wouldn't say boo to a goose. Haha

 

[_Meep_]

I'd have recommended she did everyone a favour and got herself a dummy to quieten her own overactive mouth!

Oh my gosh the amount of time I got "You must have your hands full" and the amount of pitying glances I got for having twins or the comment what a terrible shock it must have been when we found out it is twins! GAH! Someone actually once told me that having twins would be her worst nightmare! Really?! Cause I can think of one or two things that would be somewhat worse!

 

[.Mrs.B.]

Both our kids sleep in our bed, I always get comments about our 'failure' to have them in their own beds and I should've done blah blah blah.
Yes, EPIC FAIL, lol.

Angel, you know I feel you here. At the library the other day, my girls were playing nicely, and a woman said to me, "Twins? I'd kill myself."

My most recent unappreciated comment came from my aunt on New Year's Eve. She was helping watch my girls so my husband and I could go out, so I made everyone a big dinner as a thank you. The girls were done and we weren't, so I let them go play in the room next to us. Lena stubbed her toe HARD on a wooden play house and started crying. Lena is not a crier, and I knew it must've really hurt. My aunt literally says to me, "Don't you go over there. She's fine. Don't you go over there." SO, of course I go check on her and GUESS WHAT? She's ripped her toenail and it's bleeding. So I announce LOUDLY, "Oh my gosh, her toe is bleeding everywhere." Not to scare Lena (she was already almost over it), but to shame my aunt. WHAT IS WRONG WITH PEOPLE?

 

[catty]

Eughh people annoy me so much.
Why would you kill yourself over twins they are so special!!

People just dont think i often get asked if iv had a mental breakdown yet but in a nice jokey kind of way but if anyone was to say it rudely i would probably be offended

My mom had twins and got tired of people saying something along the lines of "I don't know how you do it!" So she started telling them that when it gets really hard, she just puts one in the closet and pretends she just has one and it's a lot easier.

 

[AngelUK]

LOL Sarah! Good idea!

Sucre stubbing your toe is one of those horrible pains that make you feel slightly sick to the stomach I always find, and that is without ripping off your nail as well! Poor baby! And that aunt...

 

[SucreK]

Thank you! I couldn't believe my aunt. A) Don't tell me how to parent and B) she stubbed her toe! Everyone in the universe howls when that happens! And my girls have literally fallen off playground equipment and bounced back up without a pause. If they cry, they're hurt. Period.

SOME DAYS I WANT TO LIVE IN A CAVE.

 

[_Meep_]

I agree. Stubbing your toe is second only to stepping on an upturned plug or the infamous Lego brick, as far as minor foot injuries go. PAIN. If I'd ripped MY toenail, I think I'd probably be crying too!

 

[JumpingIn]

Forgot the time I got 'looks like he's talking YOU for a walk' because my son was a step ahead of me in town and I was chatting to him about where we were going next :/ I think I replied 'yes, it's much more fun this way. A big adventure'.

 

[LoveCakes]

It perplexes me that people think they can say what they want about parenting. I still bed share at times because, quite frankly, I enjoy cuddling my son and I can't be bothered putting him back to bed and settling him during the night (I have bad spd with this pregnancy which is much worse at night). Folk comment all the time that I'll have 2 kids in bed with me. And what?!

I've had my two in bed a few times when my toddlers has been unwell or out of sorts, my main thought was we need a bigger bed!

 

[Boozlebub]

We often have both kids in bed with us as it's a sure fire way of getting them to sleep later than 6am. Often they end up in our bed in the early hours of the morning! On mornings when we get up and we have had no child in the bed it's quite a celebration! I get all the time from people that I shouldn't let them etc but hey ho I'd rather have the sleep!

My favourite comment was from my MIL who kept asking when my son would stop breastfeeding after he turned one. He ended up feeding til he was 25 months old and I was 7 months pregnant. But this always annoyed me cos she breastfed both her sons until they were 2.5 years old!

I bed share with two kids every night. Definitely doable although I don't get much space!

 

[Nataliieexo]

I've recently had family members say I've made a rod for my back because my 2 year old screams or crys when he can't climb the stairs at my grandparents house. Aparantly my child is the only one to scream or tantrum...

 

[Bevziibubble]

I hate the phrase "rod for your back ". Heard it so much in the early days from some of my DH family, merely for responding to my baby!

 

[_Meep_]

Hahahahaha, I knew you would comment on this Bev!

It is a truly shit saying.
