What is wrong with number 25?
I can’t imagine saying these things to people.
That one's "rude"? Sounds realistic to me.It cannot be denied that kids born to an unmarried woman...regardless of how well off she may be...fares less well than kids born to a whole family.
I don’t understand #1 at all. What’s that supposed to imply? Pregnancy is caused by something else than the usual?
Well that makes sense. And number 25 makes sense to me too.
26. Your uterus isn’t a clown car!
Congratulations on being pregnant. Oh, you’re NOT pregnant. Oops, sorry.
26. Your uterus isn’t a clown car!
People have said this in regards to the Duggar family.
About 20 years ago someone looked at my wife and I and said “Haven’t you heard of Zero Population Growth?”
I dunno, “God must have a sense of humor if he let your husband reproduce again.” is kind of funny. #25 is spot on though.
Hmm...this boss should be gone!
And sued!
20. “With my last pregnancy, my boss told me I needed to have an abortion and get my tubes tied.”
I am the eldest of six. My Mom went through that for the last four.
My boss said the same thing, on my third - which turned into 3rd and 4th.
Romy and Michelle’s High School Reunion:
Michele: What are you picking on us for anyway? We’re not the ones who got fat.
Christie: We’re pregnant, you half-wit.
Michele: Yeah, well...I hope your babies look like monkeys.
We had all 3 of our kids in the 1980s when it was NOT In Style to have children. I heard EVERY rude comment in the world. And we had been TRYING to have a baby for quite a while, were in our 30s, had been together 10 years, had been married 8 years.... We WANTED to have a family!
I loved every minute of it when they were kids at home with us, especially Christmas, Easter, Halloween, School Field Trips and Parties! We loved vacations with the kids, taking them to Disneyland for their first time and ours! Every thing was fun again, exploring national parks, caves, beaches, mountains, etc. Yet everyone said the meanest rudest things to us about having children.
I had to cut off friendships with 3 of my best friends because they were so negative about being married and having children. It was supposed to be the happiest time of my life, not the most depressing.
I was able to stay home with the kids and we had disposable diapers and life was FUN!
More funny than rude
After going through IVF, when I called my mother-in-law to tell her I was pregnant, she slammed the phone down in my ear. It’s been almost 24 years, and I have yet to hear “congratulations.”
After #4, we often heard, “What are you? Catholic? Or sexy Baptist?”
By far, “don’t you know what causes that?” gets #1 - & everyone who says it thinks they are being original - DUH!! I always got them back with, “Yes, & we decided we like it!” Silence always followed.
I always included that my wife didn’t want any & I wanted 5....& we have 8.
Top award for originality goes to a woman, hearing my wife wanted none - “so you are either the world’s best salesman - or the world’s best lover.”
To which I answered, “how about both?”
