Stupid people...

[ICSIBaby86]

Someone ( a man ) actually just said to me at my Sons Martial arts class " how many children do you have " to which I replied" just the one." Their response being " Aw it's cruel not to give a child a sibling, children shouldn't be only children" ... I am literally speechless. Excuse my language but I have no idea who this piece of shit is ! What is wrong with people !

Aww hun, know exactly what you mean! Why are people so thoughtless? I have no children, husband and I ttc for 18 months now and I have had multiple comments at work by poeple saying 'now children yet then?' And 'do you want children? Best not leave it too long as it's hard when you get older' etc. I do not know what to say to these comments except to ignore and let it go over my head. Very hard at times though. Try not to worry or think too much of it and take care xxx

I try to not let it get to me, I don't know this man at all really, his children are at the same martial arts class as my son ! I just find people so insensitive and rude, there's nothing more in the world i want to give my son a sibling! Some people are just idiots... I need to just keep my cool xxxxx

Some people can be so rude and thoughtless. I will never ever ask anyone such a personal question. I have lost track of the number of times I have been asked whether 'i plan to have children' mostly by colleagues at work and i really have to bite my lip not to say anything. Feel free to rant if you need to, my inbox is alway open xxx

Thank you lovely il be doing some martial arts of my own I'd be carries on 😂

[Positive2022 in reply to ICSIBaby86]

Sounds like a good plan!! Xxx

I'm so cross for you! People should never pass comment on others' parental status! It's so bloody rude! Even if you had chosen to have 1 child, that would be your right and doesn't make you a cruel parent! Stupid ignorance once again! Did you respond? Xx

[ICSIBaby86 in reply to Hidden]

I didn't know what to say ! I just said "aww I'm considering having another one ! " why I even said that though I shouldn't have said anything ! Why should I have to defend myself! What an idiot ! Xxx

[Hidden in reply to ICSIBaby86]

You don't have to defend yourself but it's tough when you're put on the spot. I was talking to a male colleague a year ago who told me I "should just go and get a baby". I replied with "if only it were that simple" and he said "it is". Erm, ok. Not sure what I've been doing for the past couple of years then! Next time you see daddy douchebag, kick him in the privates 😉xxx

Oh Hun that is rubbish, people need to think before they speak. I constantly get asked when are we having another etc it really infuriates me. I know it's hard but try not to let it get to you! Xxx

[Nat6]

Omg this is unreal. He is an idiot, some people have no idea. I would be so blunt and respond "actually I don't no if I can have another child" watch him get totally embarrassed & teach him a lesson! Gosh sorry I feel like ranting for u! Hope ur ok

[ClarabGlasgow]

Sorry this happened to you! This is always a dreaded question for me as I’m desperate to give my daughter a sibling, I think people assume if you have one then you can have more (something I naively also assumed when I was younger) although so rude of him to ask! We need to think up a good reply to this - something like: one for now , Or: yes, my wee miracle x

[AllWeNeedIsluv]

Ppl Like that need to be shut down with a response they don't expect. If it was me I'd say. "We keep trying but not succeeding not that it's any of your business."

Sorry you had to go through that ppl just don't know how to keep their mouths shut sometimes 💗🤗😘

[Tugsgirl]

Very thoughtless and insensitive. When will people learn it’s none of their damn business? xx

[Kyell2]

How rude and insensitive.

And absolutely none of his business.

Some people.... x

I had very similar today from my male boss telling me I should have a brother or sister for our little one as it won't be nice being an only child but I will need to do it quick because I am 37!!! I am only 24 weeks pregnant with our first and that journey was hard enough. Some people are just down right stupid!!! But still made we want to smack him one xx

[Lynnr54]

I can’t believe how insensitive some people are. How they feel qualified to comment on someone else’s life that they know nothing about is completely beyond me 😡.
