When’s the baby due?

I really was asked that a week post partum

No, I wanted a puppy. That’s why we did it Doggy Style. What a disappointment!

Ah, an offender has entered the chat. These comments are rude and you should stop!

My favorite are people who try to defend touching stranger's stomachs or (worse IMO) trying to touch stranger's babies. No touching!

About DC- All that beautiful hair is going to fail out! (It did not).

When are you having more? Did you only want just the one? (When due to post partum hemorrhage and emergency surgery after delivery I can no longer have more).

Starting everything with “first time mom, or new mom” and belittling every concern and question.

My boys are not disappointments.

Not yet. Give it time.

Imagine folks insisting your kids are mixed race when they’re not.

We just correct. Over and over and over.

“ I can’t imagine having kids so close in age”

True but it's okay to vent privately on an anonymous forum.

Like what do you say in the moment to someone who's like "are you going to try again for a girl" and like ma'am, he's not even born yet and you're demanding to know when I'm going to have more.

Do what my SIL did. She called my brother over and yelled honey, Aunt Madge wants to know when you plan to put your P in my V. Kid’s 18 and this is still a legend.

Can you feel your let down?

My sis in law is mixed and got this all the time too. People would insist she couldn't be the mother of a blonde baby. Mind you, her mom is blonde.

Nothing wrong with asking that.
