[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In NW DC - there will be people who comment but it won’t be to your face. I’ve heard people say things about people with 4 kids behind their back but nothing really malicious. It’s more that people think it’s crazy to have that many kids for various reasons. It sounds like you’re having a 4th so start working on not giving a crap about what others think- people will judge you no matter what you do and you can’t control it.[/quote]

Yep.  They'll judge you for only having one or many, for working or for staying home, etc.  You have to be pretty secure in your choices.  The only time I judge people is when they work so hard to justify their own choices that they end up putting down others.  (i.e., you have a bunch of kids, and you talk about how lonely single children are or how parents have some obligation to "give" their kid a sibling or some other crap like that.  Or you SAH, but you make comments about wanting to "raise your own children," or any other putdown of working parents.  That kind of nonsense.).  And then I judge them for being obnoxious people, not for the underlying life choice.  [/quote]

It is bizarre to give your child a sibling.  If you want multiple kids, that is what is important.  My sibling and I never got along and she was always terrible to me. [/quote]
