Luckily nobody has said anything in a while. Maybe they are learning it is the way things are sometimes.I think ti depends on where you live.roddmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09389826007718895253noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7559554049808417357.post-20809855899539284032011-08-13T11:21:18.833-04:002011-08-13T11:21:18.833-04:00I'm sorry people have been unkind to you.
I&#...I'm sorry people have been unkind to you. <br />I'm sure childlessness does get it's share of nasty remarks. Anything that goes against the average of 2 children can bring about scorn from the general population.<br />I would add though, that comments with regard to having many children don't go away. The, "Don't you know what causes that?" question does decrease some in frequency (although some just start using past tense), but the other questions/comments don't. You always have those children, so people continue to make a big deal out of it.Beckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12003598651497797034noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7559554049808417357.post-83684412573988989892011-08-13T02:09:34.177-04:002011-08-13T02:09:34.177-04:00I think no kids gets more nasty remarks.

Yes they may be surprised or offended at first by the number of kids the Duggars have but that wears off faster than no kids. Note there are no shows about happy childless couples.I can't understand why people are so nosy about a woman's choice or lack there of.roddmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09389826007718895253noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7559554049808417357.post-88885338524286132612011-08-11T16:03:36.101-04:002011-08-11T16:03:36.101-04:00Thanks Megan - I thought it all humorus as well.
Y...Thanks Megan - I thought it all humorus as well.<br />Your question lends itself to a another post, so be on the lookout for my an answers to "those" questions post. I'll try to do it soon. I'll include some of my nicer comments, and a few of my "Really? You asked me that question?" kind of answers, but I'll refrain from passing on some of my husbands answers. I sometimes cringe when people greet him with those type of things.<br /><br />Yes Ruby - I rather got that impression myself. You know, after my mind got past the whole, "Huhhh??" stage. That's exactly how my older daughters took the question.Beckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12003598651497797034noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7559554049808417357.post-53274615481183129002011-08-11T05:44:20.032-04:002011-08-11T05:44:20.032-04:00It seems she meant "Are you like the Duggars ...It seems she meant "Are you like the Duggars - nice but weird?"!!!!!!!<br />Ruby<br />http://mummasplace.blogspot.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7559554049808417357.post-69106847822157679282011-08-11T00:41:50.559-04:002011-08-11T00:41:50.559-04:00Very funny post!

I am already gearing myself for questions like these as my husband and I start our family! I wonder . . . what have been some of your responses to the questions? Any good but ladylike comebacks? Just wondering . . . Thanks for the post! Have a blessed day!Megan @ A Blossoming Homesteadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10983419429226420893noreply@blogger.com
