Children of large families attract rude people

Posted 01-02-2009 at 02:11:46 PM by BigDog

Oye. Just getting a little tired of people giving me their criticism. It is always clothed in "advice", unwanted/needed "advice" mind you.

The ones that irritate me the most.

1. The carbon footprint problem.
What I want to say. Yeah but if we knock you out that is one less too.

2. People seriously ask if we know what causes this "problem". (Not jokingly.)
What I want to say. Yeah apparently you haven't figured it out. You only have 2.

3. They can't have as much attention as if you would have stuck with just 2.
What I want to say. Well, since yours are playing video games while you grocery shop. Are you offering to come and play and talk with them? (But, I would be afraid they would say yes.)

4. You don't have as much money spend between them.
What I want to say. Yeah, well your right they will have to learn a concept of sharing and not taking things for granted. (I know an anti-American comment.) But, if your that concerned, you can put your donations right here in my purse.

5. They won't nutritionally balanced food, since you don't have as much money to spread around.
What I want to say. You mean like your overweight kids?

6. You are just judgemental of those of us who are responsible and stopped at 2.
What I want to say. You got me. It was my whole ploy, have 3 extra kids so I can judge you.

    My mom would relate, lol! I come from a family of 8 kids, and we got A LOT of attention, some positive and some negative. Anyway, I'm sure you already know, large families are GREAT, and don't let any random grouch in the grocery store tell you otherwise!

    Oh, so now they are using the carbon foodprint line huh? Back when I had my five kids at home, people (perfect strangers) would stop me and read me the riot act for having such a large family when everyone else was pushing for zero population growth! Excuse me! I wasn't about to tell them that we really tried to keep it to two (the second child had colic really badly, I didn't think she would ever quit crying) but every method of birth control we used (and according to directions/perscription) failed. God meant for us to have that many children. LOL

    I loved having a large family. It truly is a blessing.

    People are so rude nowadays! If anyone were to just say something that rude to me, I'd tell them it's none of their business and that they're being rude.

    The only people I would possibly brush aside rude comments from are family members, and even then it's possible I'd bite back.

    Yeah, our family has heard them ALL! I had four children, my husband had one child when we married, then we began to take in other kids. Have raised 17 kids and enjoyed having a large family! When people would ask "Don't you know what causes them?" we would smile sweetly and say, "We do and we're enjoying it!" Sometimes we would reply, "Well, we've been practicing the 'rhythm' method, but we don't seem to be getting the steps right!" Learn to laugh at people's rude comments and tell them, "This works for OUR family!" Hope this helps!

    I read a quote one time that I loved:

    "The Bible teaches that children are a blessing and debt is a curse; nowadays people reject the blessing and apply for the curse"

    I only have 3 kids (though I do hope to have more, someday), but I get the rude comments too, especially when they realize all three of mine are boys. 'Are you going to try for a girl?' almost always comes out. I'm a smart mouth, though, so I can't resist some version of, 'Why would I? My boys are so perfect, I'd rather have three more than risk a girl!' :D Hang in there--people will complain no matter what you do. As long as your family is happy, that's all that matters.

    mimipaula1 - LOL. I usually laugh at the comments, as I get them frequently. But, the day I wrote that I had literally one month of getting 2 -3 comments a day. Even Mother Theresa would have started whacking them with a cane at that point. I guess the holiday season brings out the "best" in people. Hey at least they said the truth. Instead of saying nice things, then turning around and going 'see that woman over there, she is muy loca!'

    queen....5 - What/Who is IRL? Thought you missed spelled URL, but that made absolutely no sense.

    MelanieK - I think you gave me a new quote for my siggy. Do you mind?

    It's really not my quote; I read it somewhere a while back and it stuck with me...so as far as I'm concerned, it's all yours.

    Im the last of six kids..i never seemed to hear those comments..but of course we weren't a "tight nit" family. the most you will see of us at one time was two..
    I have two kids (boygirl) and everyone comments on how thats just so "perfect" huh?

    I always wanted a big family..so i can raise them differently then we were. My sister is half way there! lol four girls and she IS trying for that boy :) she jokes that she will have her own girlscouts. plus adopting is in the NEAR future for her :)

    My MIL i swear asks me if i want to have another one every single time i talk to her..all you can do is say "haha" before we had my kids she wanted us to have two just LIKE his sister. but now where is this wanting another one crap? aren't i the one who chooses? lol

    but seriously i dont want any more right now, but of course im up for it in a few years..just let me get these kids out of diapers first! lol

    p.s. if i didn't have such a strong opinion on the subject of kids, i probably would have had my DH fixed by now lol but growing up. praying each night to god, that he bless me with a "husband and wonderful kids"
    Im there :)
    we tried for almost three years for my girl..just seems so wrong of me to prevent any child coming into this world..but for now i have to :(

    Families. Yeah. That is a totally different rant. Strangers, that is one thing. But, I haven't even said the crazy things our families have told us.

    And you know. Besides other then one or two. I haven't met anybody from a large family who has hated it. But, I have met quite a bit who wished they had more siblings (including me).

    I was 4 years apart in age from my brother. And we were/are like yin and yang. So I felt like I had no siblings. We still only talk about 10 minutes every 3-4 months or so. Other then blood we have nothing in common.

    I have four kids and a lot of people say to me I have my hands full. My husband when he is out with all of them and someone makes a comment he looks back and acts like he is missing some of them or tells them the half is at home.

    Just wait 'till someone asks you if you belong to a cult! (It really happened!) I chalk it up to ignorance. We only have 3 boys but we homeschool - heaven forbid you actually enjoy being with your children and that they like each other.

    IRL= "in real life"

    I want to have at least 4 kids and be a foster parent, too. I think big families are great, especially if they are raised with love. I'm only preggo with #1 right now, but when I get up to 4 or more, I'll DARE someone to say something and then I'll let them have it. That is so RUDE for people to say it. That's even worse than people coming up to you to rub your belly when you're pregnant (to which I will say "Watch out, do that and you'll come back with a bloody stump). LOL

    mamadrago, I love what your husband does. I'll have to try it. I have four kids so we get all kinds of comments also. Sometimes it's like "I pay for them and I take care of them SAHM so what's it to you"
