[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We have 2, a boy and a girl. Have never discussed the possibility of having a 3rd w our parents. Even so, my parents and his have each made comments to the effect of "its so nice you can stop having kids now that you have one of each!" I know 100% that they would say something negative if we ever did wind up having a 3rd (probably same type of comments you are getting, op, plus likely expressing concern about bringing another child into this messed up world). It would annoy me just as it has annoyed you but I would also see that they were speaking out of genuine concern and that they would absolutely love the third child and be very happy once the baby was actually here. Yes, I think comments like that are generally rude and out of line and if they continue w the comments, then your husband should talk to them about it but for now I wouldn't respond. i doubt they are trying to upset you. If they are like my parents and in laws, they are probably just self absorbed and don't have enough awareness of others' feelings to realize how their comments are perceived.[/quote]

Yes to self-absorbed and they sound like typical baby boomer condescending, self-absorbed know it alls[/quote]
