Your FIL has poor manners so I hope someone elbowed him out of your sight. Congrats!

It sure is grandma!

That made me laugh.


You know this is mostly what I think whenever someone else is having a kid because DC3's birth was NO JOKE. But anyhow .. carry on, carry on, and congratulations. (Better you than me).

I have always found it funny, how people feel the need to give an opinion on how many children other people should have. People will comment no matter how many you have (oh you have two, but they are both the same gender? You have three, two wasnt enough? Heaven forbid you have more than 3, and then the comments on the year spread: less than two years is too little, more than five they are practically like only children)

OP, congratulations! Just bad manners on FIL part.

I feel you. Currently pregnant with #2 and my parents didn’t seem impressed. My father hasn’t asked a question or shown any interest. I’ve given up - can’t worry about it.

I know someone whose parents were just awful to them for having more than one kid. Apparently, they were upset because they had already set up in their minds how many grandchildren they would have (!) and how they would distribute their wealth to them.

Hilariously, they now have 10 grandkids! Happily, they got over it.

When I announced my second pregnancy my mother responded "Is this something you wanted"?

We have 4 kids, and each time I was pregnant at least a handful of people commented, “Again?!?!” The variations of that sentiment were hilarious! Since they’re all boys, there were lots of comments along the lines of, “They won’t stop until they have a basketball team!” But my favorite comment came during a military/veterans conference when someone announced to the room the that I was building my own platoon.

I came up with a number of quips. One of my favorites was, “I know, right? I blame my husband for this.”

When I arrived at the OB for my first appointment with my 4th (who arrived on the heels of my 3rd), the OB quipped, “You’re back? Your last pregnancy wasn’t stressful enough for the both of us? Before you leave, remind me to give you a prescription for John...for separate bedrooms.” He of course was kidding.


Funny!

Nope never mentioned we were only planning to have one......my husband and his sister are 4 years apart.

The truth is this, that after the first child no one gives a damn about additional children except you.
