And usually my snarkiness doesn't lend itself to an easy/nice apology!Melaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03287423892228163225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5431253946346326687.post-1182864923844605952009-03-30T21:27:00.000-04:002009-03-30T21:27:00.000-04:00Sorry to be on the opposite from everyone but from...Sorry to be on the opposite from everyone but from what I got this lady was just making a comment out of the sake that she didn't know what else to say either. It totally sounds like something I would mumble to someone (stupidly apparently ..lol) Just because this is how it would go for me (being that lady to you) <BR/><BR/>Me: So you plan on having more kids (because you have one already)<BR/>You: Yeah someday (because you don't want the image put out for someone to think your having sex (LOL, I silly)<BR/>Me:(Thinking we were going to talk about planning a baby already and so on until you said not till later and I have nothing to follow with it :)) Uh, oh.. well.. (scarcastic trying to be witty way) Don't wait to long :D <BR/><BR/>I suck. Sorry tried to make you feel better about the situation :P<BR/>But that is how I kinda saw it, I wouldn't worry about it you know me I'm worry about the baby thing and I shouldn't (doesn't really help with actually planning the baby if we're stresses :D <BR/>Good luck still hun! xoDeletedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16914952026213644017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5431253946346326687.post-39436229576401340492009-03-30T20:55:00.000-04:002009-03-30T20:55:00.000-04:00Just tell them you're going for at least five year...Just tell them you're going for at least five years apart so you'll always have the older kid/kids in school by the time the next baby comes along!<BR/>And by the way, Jim and his younger brother are seven and a half years apart, INTENTIONALLY, and they got along, and continue to get along, great. Hardly any rivalry at all since there's such a gap. So there ARE big benefits to having space, too.Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07141742419364168878noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5431253946346326687.post-10529512855222413662009-03-30T20:21:00.000-04:002009-03-30T20:21:00.000-04:00Ugh.

I would usually say, "Thanks for the tip," and then run off to a corner and cry. So, I'm guessing that my approach isn't exactly what you're looking for. I like the God's timeline answer: it pretty much answers their question and keeps them from asking again.Janahttp://jana-lozado.livejournal.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5431253946346326687.post-39954997521318056942009-03-30T20:15:00.000-04:002009-03-30T20:15:00.000-04:00I'm catching up from spring break.Thanks for the D...I'm catching up from spring break.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the DVD. We do love FS and can't wait to see it. <BR/><BR/>Our first two are 4 years apart. Everyone was convinced Jacob would be an only child since we didn't have another before he was two. I got lots of comments from friends, family, and complete strangers. It made the wait to be pregnant that much harder. We almost gave up. But it is God's timeline. I waited a long time for Adam and he was so worth it. I eventuallydid get to where I would tell nosy folk that we had tried everyway possible and it just wasn't happening. The subject changes quickly then.andriahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07936122859722777328noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5431253946346326687.post-38983291274251834612009-03-30T17:48:00.000-04:002009-03-30T17:48:00.000-04:00I used to go with something about "it's God's time...I used to go with something about "it's God's timeline, not ours."Nowheymamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02977594440010163078noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5431253946346326687.post-50316306532449787342009-03-30T16:55:00.000-04:002009-03-30T16:55:00.000-04:00Ugh.

I was so flabbergasted I mumbled something and got out of there.

That was very rude of her to say out loud! I don't think you need to be more candid if you don't want to be. A smile and a "thanks for the advice" (bonus points if you say "assvice" :) ) or an "okay then!" You don't seem the sarcastic type. Sigh. People just don't think about what they are saying :(jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04749907474327431646noreply@blogger.com
