[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Other than people like PP’s mom, they are just making conversation. No one actually cares whether you have another kid or not. It’s not the most socially savvy smalltalk, but you should treat it that way and shrug it off. Think of it like someone suggesting “Oh, you should have the lasagna” when ordering lunch.[/quote]

Uh no. Commenting on how many children someone has is really rude. I’d rather you comment on the lasagne.[/quote]

You may take it as rude but it's not intended that way. Sometimes people talk and the words that come out are dumb. They don't even realize it.

My neighbor has one child and has struggled for years with secondary infertility. They're open about their struggles and have tried virtually everything. My mom insists on saying "you should try this" or "have you thought of that." OMG. Just stop already. They know more about infertility than my mom and I will ever know put together. They are adults who are responsible for their own decisions and are not asking for advice. My mom doesn't mean to be hurtful but it might come off that way.[/quote]
