Another

It is funny. We get one of two responses from people when we are out and about with our kids. One is "wow three boys " Normally accompanied by a look of pity. "you aren't having anymore kids are you??" Or " oh look at these boys, so when are you having another" or "these boys need a sister" lol.
We already have a family that is larger than the typical family size around with our 3 children.

Yes we plan on more children. Some call us crazy to want such a HUGE family (maybe one or two more children lol) But I find it funny STILL lol that strangers feel he need to ask/comment about our reproductive plans.

Comments:
People always feel they can comment on something. Besides, I am planning on maybe 2 more daugthers. How else are we going to marry all three boys off to my girls?
 
I'm never sure if I find these peope funny or irritating- lately, I've been told by total strangers that I need to have more babies immediately/in two years/in eight years. Two people in the diner the other day- none of us knew each other, BTW- actually got into an argument over how many children *I* should have.

Nuts. I think everyone should mind their own business. Although, you seem to have a line of people wanting to marry their daughters off to your boys, so maybe you should have a bunch more ;)
 
I can completely relate, Gina - we hear the same types of comments when we have the 2 girls out in public & it absolutely intensifies when we have all 4 girls..."Don't you want a Boy??"..."oh, you poor man (to dh), pity you to have all of those horomones in one house".

I would never stop the cute little elderly couple at Walmart to comment on the three poodles they're leaving in their parked car in the FL sun (although I have thought about reporting ppl for doing that) to ask them how much dog food they have to buy in a week -- it's just not my business.
:o)
 
I'm here via cubbiegirl's comments. Your smallest is such a cutie. Thank god the hearing aid was found! and yikes... people are so judgmental. We had 4 kids in our family, and thirty years ago that was smallish. One or two was considered sad. Here in Quebec, I know people from families with 10-14 kids (and that is one reason why people here have fewer kids this generation... they saw how that wears down the parents), and the people where I bought my dog had 11 kids. I certainly think four is reasonable. And six, what the hey , if you can afford it. All those kids who are only children will be glad to hook into a family where their kids will have aunts uncles and cousins. :D oh, just read amy's comment. I have a large dog and I cannot walk for three feet in public without someone asking/commenting on my living situation, how I can afford the food, whether I should have her in the city etc. And I think "heck, I don't ask them if they have a large enough room for their kid, shouldn't that kid be living in the suburbs?" sigh!! good luck!
 
I think people should have as many kids as they want and can take care of. I can't wait for the looks when this baby is born and I have an 11 yr old, 5 yr old, 1 yr old, and newborn. Won't they love me??? I do get tired of hearing...so you finally got that girl, you are done now? I bet yall read about the crazy woman who smacked old lady in the grocery store with frozen peas...can I claim temp insanity...aahh...maybe I could get a vacation out of it LOL!
