Aaaaah a classic from my mum - I know she MEANS well...

"It's a shame DS is such a handful because if he was being a bit better behaved, I could have him while you get something done about your hair"

From my mom when I was young:

"You have such pretty eyes, too bad you don't do anything with them."

Oh don't even start me on the babies sex thing my Mum knew I was having my scan and a few days later phoned me at work (unheard of) to tell my her friends daughter was having TWIN BOYS I said "aren't you going to ask me what I am having, she said well you said it was a girl"

On hearing DD2 was a DD "nevermind I know you will have 3"

"a woman is not a real woman until she has a boy!"
"all men want a son, some men leave women that can't give them sons"
"only me and your cousin X has hit the jackpot in our family (pigeon pair) I did say "yes isn't MY DAD clever" (she doesn't like him

She hasn't said anything about DB3 yet and I will be not be putting up with any comments if it is another DD. I don't think I am even going to tell her the sex if we find out.
