AIBU to start getting angry at comments by dhs family about this pregnancy

[Poweredbypepsi]

i am pregnant with dc 5. There is no reason for anyone to be anything but overjoyed with this news. We love our children we look after them, we have a good relationship we work and have enough money etc to support another baby (well we woukd like more but we survive). We told dhs families recently after our 12 week scan. MIL told dh he should "go and have the snip or I'll come here and do it for you" then said they though he had mumps as a child (turns out he didn't) but it was a shame he didn't as then he wouldnt have so many children ( I assume mumps makes you infertile from that comment but I have no idea if that's true).
No one has congratulated us people are rude about it and I am at the point of just screaming op "oh will you fuck offffffffff".next time someone suggests "getting the bricks out" or the like.

I amm seriously considering asking dh to tell them that if they don't start either not commenting at all or saying something nice if they cam bring themselves to do so then they are not welcome in our house.

Aibu.

People really should mind their own business..

I had my 5th 6 months ago and still people meet her and coo then say "you must be mad" it annoys me cos i am not a pregnant 14 yr old like you op i can afford her and love and take care of her.I think some people are jealous and some are just stupid.Ignore and congrats.

I saw a post by a friend on facebook other week saying
"no im not getting fat Im 4 months pregnant, no it was not planned, no the dad doesnt want to be involved, yes im aware it wil be hard, yes the boys are pleased, no Im not Gutted. If you cant say anything nice and positive about my news please fuck off. thanks.

It made me smile. Noone has the right to judge another's choices. Tell them where to go.

:)

PS Congrats!

Get a t-shirt printed with 'five times the fun' in HUGE letters and wear it to every family occasion. With a smile.

And congratulations to you and your family

Even if they think it is an accident, it's amazing the number of people who consider it okay to actually ask. When you think about it, you can't get more personal than asking people about their sex lives. Bad enough when strangers do it, but the thought of discussing it with either parents or IL's is icky to say the least.

Even if you consider 5 dc to be a lot and are shocked by it, it is still incredibly rude to imply (or even say outright) that somehow the parents should not be pleased and excited about the new addition to their family. I looked forward to the births of my 2nd,3rd and 4th children with just as much excitement and happiness as I did my first. Why assume that 2.4 (or whatever the national average is ) is somehow a better number to have?
