anyone else????

Anyone else have those old family members that ask "why'd you go and get pregnant?" My feelings are so hurt. Old people can be so cruel.

I got the. "You two ARE getting married before the baby comes right?" And because I look younger than I am I get little old ladies in the street look at my belly, then check for a wedding ring then look at mtg faeries and shake their heads. A good friend said if I het questioned again to say "oh I like sex so much I don't even know who the father is" lol

I'm visiting family in north Carolina, but my family back home is supportive, but oh my gosh, not here. And usually I'm snappy, but this pregnancy has just made me the crying type.

I got the speeches before I was pregnant, not to get pregnant like Everytime Iwas around my honey's family. Now I get make sure you sleep because you never will again. It's annoying.

I surprisingly haven't had that but expected I would. I am 23 and have been with the father a year before getting pregnant. The pregnancy was planned but I'm sure people who dont know that think it was an oopsie. I hope that people are supportive of you, regardless of them approving or not a baby is a blessing and if you are happt despite issues with the father then they need to be happy for you.

I had it happen to me when I was Prego with my first. I was 17 and 18 a few days after he was born. I have no filter so what I think very often comes out my mouth. I always had some Smarty pants response. Like, 'i was bored' or 'it was cold', or even 'cuz I like sex'.....there were more obnoxious mean ones but I don't remember off hand. Ya it hurt my feelings but it was much more fun to watch their face with my in filtered responses! Lol! Have fun with it, it still hurts but at least u will get a laugh.

I heard it all the time with my son an this pregnancy all i hear is "why dont you have more kids" its so aggravating because in the end the people i hear it from are the ones who spoil n love my kids the most. i think its just their way of giving us advice older people usually come from believing marriage before baby now its normal for baby to come first.
