I figure that since it's a good spring day out, and my twin boys wants to go out, we can go stock up on some necessity like diapers, bath wash, shampoo and all those little stuff baby's need in case I forget to toward the very end of the pregnancy. Everything went well til we were on line waiting to pay, as the cashier were greeting the boys, there were two grannies behind making one of the rudest comment...idk about rudest but I felt offended one was like she looks too young to be pregnant and having two kids already and another was like teenager these days, they grow up too fast, hardly even know what they're doing. I didn't want to be rude, since I had my sons with me but in my mind I just want to tell them out telling them I'm not a teenager and I am not as young as I look.
>[ has anyone had these sort of misunderstand/disrespectfulness of others commenting?
When my husband and I went to Vegas for our babymoon, we got quite a few rude comments from people saying " you are pregnant and you look fresh out of high school!" Then when they found out we already had a toddler and this pregnancy was a twin pregnancy, the looks on their faces were priceless.
I kinda found it humorus though because what they don't know is that we struggled with infertility for many years, so it's actually kind of a compliment for me haha. Every one has a different opinion of what "growing up" is, or even what "success" is. So yeah... to a lot of people I may look like I threw away my life by getting married at 19, and having 3 kids before 27. In my eyes, and my husband's we are a great success story
YEP and I get NO YOU CANT BE ON NUMBER 7..YA I AM.. or I get that, are you sure they are all yours? NO I FOUND THEM lol Ugh.. and then one said, omg this upset me, They all certainly cant be from the same dad, what guy in his right mind wants a big family, my DH says I DO. Hes not the older 4 real dad but he is THEIR dad, more than their real dad. He is even considering having another I said you go spit one out lol I get all kinds.. then one asks if Bryce and Seth are twins, and I say no, they say you sure? hmmm ya Im pretty sure lmao. Ugh, and I get the How old are you? 34 I reply, NO YOUR NOT. fine Im not lol Ugh. people! hugs.. dont listen to them ok. If you can.

I was 19, almost 20 with my first. Oh the comments I got.
"do you know who the daddy is?" was probably the worst!
I'm 25 with this one. I haven't gotten too many comments. Mostly, "what this is your second? How old are you?...when did you have her....you must have gotten started early....". Most seem to think dd1 is my younger sister.
It makes me so angry judgements based on what a persons age appears to be. I'm glad I look younger, but I don't need the judgements!

I had my first when I was 22 and my 2nd at 26, I have had people make comments that Im such a good sister (ha!) or that I look too young to have 2 kids. I always take it as a compliment as I like having always looked much younger than I am. Now that Im 32 Im looking more my age so I dont get that much anymore...consider yourself lucky!
I don't get many comments personally but people look at Dh (he's 23 and looks it) with my oldest two and assume they are his and look like when they ask how old the kids are you can almost watch them doing the math in their heads. I crack up.

How funny you posted this because I vented on my FB this evening about people's rudeness. Im so over it and I swear if one more person hints, suggests or even ask if Im going to tie my tubes Im going to ram my foot down their throat. Im over it. Beyond over it.
I've gained 22lbs so far, fundal height is about 2cm higher than my dates, but it's mostly all belly (oh yeah & the boobs lol) so although I can still wear my hippy jeans, I'm sporting a gigantic belly & I get..."Oh you're so small"....one woman in particular who's also pg, behind me by maybe a month, compares our belly's every time I see her & makes comments about how small I am compared to her....WEEEEELLLL, you were 40+lbs bigger than me to start?! It seems silly to b!t(h about, but i'm packin 20lb of belly around thank you very much...I can't freakin breath & i swear to you I am as big now as I was @ delivery with my other 3. Annoys the hell out of me. I'd way rather be mistaken for younger, haha. But I feel your pain. I'm surprised I haven't had ANY comments (to my face anyways, haha) about how many kids we have.
Oh wow. Some of the comments you all are getting surprises me so much! I've never had anyone say anything rude to me like that. I don't know what I would do, but it wouldn't be very pretty.
Some people just have no tact

I get grief for not being married. My co-worker asked when my SO is gonna make an honest woman out of me. I said, "I'm already an honest woman". Or people assume this pregnancy was an accident because I'm not married. It really makes me angry because of all the things we've been through with miscarriages, etc, etc.
I always run into rude comments one way or another whenever dh and i are out with our twins...or rude stares regarding how we look or us being parents. I rather have those people give me strange look and think what they want to think in their heads rather than saying it rudelessly outloud.
Some people really bother me, when it comes down to it no one should be judged, and I'm sorry you ladies had to go through what you did with the terribly rude comments. I've had my share too and I am certain I will get more. One thing I know for sure is all of you ladies are caring, strong woman, and you are where you are today and that's no ones business. Can't people just be happy anymore?! I love seeing young families and we are not the ones to judge others situations, especially when we don't know the roads they've had to travel to get as far as they have.
