To be mortified, or am I overreacting?

[mynotsoperfectlife]

We are on holiday at the moment, and when chatting to another family at the cottage we are staying at, DH announces that the children 'weren't planned.'

We've had a bit of a row about it. He says I'm being ridiculous and over reacting. I'm sitting upstairs avoiding him. Am I?

Best staying quiet and not arguing. I forget my own rules sometimes.

This is probably the most worrying comment I've seen on here today mynotsoperfectlife

Do you have someone you can talk to, someone you can go and stay with if you need to?

If I wasn't feeling particularly chipper I might not see this as the blurty footputting that most people on this thread are. I can imagine yours and the strangers in the cottage next door were all a bit at DH's comment.

But having asked and gotten the majority view that most people genuinely wouldn't have actually given it too much more thought, I think you'd reasonably expect the strangers to have forgotten it within minutes too.

DH could be more mindful next time, but it sounds like a clumsy attempt at humour in reaction to a compliment handed to his DW rather than anything more malicious.
