I think it’s just a conversation starter. These people don’t know what else to talk about
@Ezme what if she doesn’t even want a sibling!
@Vivienne maybe but it’s so awkward and annoying cause I don’t want more and people are always shocked and try to tell me to have more anyway
I’m all for kids having siblings but it frankly isn’t anyone’s business if you have more or not🤦🏻♀️ I suggest coming up with a horrible way to answer so they catch on quickly 🤣
I've been set on one and done basically since I was pregnant, and I find it really irritating when people comment that I'll change my mind once she's older, "you never know" etc. My financial situation is not going to change, nor is my health.
It’s just a conversation starter to me sometimes they don’t mean the question asked they’re just looking for a question TO ask to fill the silence. So I don’t take any questions to heart. If it’s a no it’s a no if it’s a yes I say so if it’s a maybe then it’s a maybe. 💁🏻♀️Iike asking if you had a Csec. Or if you BF. Or if baby sleeps through. Yada yada. They’re just questions to me
I’m not sure if we are one and done. It took 4 years this round 8 years total for me to get pregnant 1 time. My man is approaching 40 so maybe but as far as needing a sibling. They got cousins.
Yeah it’s boring. But not upsetting.
I had the opposite. No one said a word. When I got pregnant again 16/17m PP, all I got was - already? That was quick! Honestly, you’ll never win.
I was one and done for 7 years and got annoyed at the questions but then someone said something that changed my perspective, one day his dad and I will be gone(hopefully of old age) and he will be alone. That made me sad so now I have three. Having more children is completely up to each individual person and no one should be pushing others to have more than they want.
Ask them when they're having one. Turn it around. Or shame them with statistics about infertility and miscarriage about how sensitive this question can be! Don't say you're done because it's not their business so they shouldn't get the real answer ❤️🙏
We are two and done and the comments about having more are absolutely relentless, so I can only imagine the frustration xx
I guess I am the opposite. As a young woman and teenager I was always taught that having a chidl was shameful. It was indirect and like comments about other people, shaming other people and saying how I was good and lucky to not have kids at my age. So when I turned 30 I was pregnant, and was embarassed and terified to tell anyone. I felt like a teen mom, and ashamed in some way. Anyways when people asked me when number 2 was comming it wasnt irritating to me, it was almost like saying its ok to want another. I may be the only one though lol.
Could have written this myself! LO is 8 months tomorrow. A coworker told me it's unfair to my baby to not give her a sibling 🙄
