A lot. They fell into two groups, the kindly, God-Bless-You-aren't-they-all-well-behaved group and the Oh-My-God-how-disgusting group. (You know the latter all got their rocks off watching "19 kids and counting" and sneering) <br /><br />Anyhoo -- the kindly group would chat and I would be kindly in return. The others? I would smile sheepisly and say, "I know what you're thinking. I WAS 13 when the oldest was born!" and watch as they couldn't get away fast enough because, you know, irresponsible parenthood is contagious!Doodle Mommahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03430339181701905807noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1824745890000210678.post-42534194086799389812010-06-29T07:01:38.248-04:002010-06-29T07:01:38.248-04:00That's crazy that she asked that.

About half way through ppl started asking me when I was due. When I would tell them, they would say, are you sure it isn't twins??? Or they would tell me I must be ready to pop anyday when I still had 3 or 4 months left. Seriously?? They are basically telling me I am huge. I finally decided the next person that asked me if I was sure I wasn't having twins I was going to say no, but you looked like you've put on some weight too..are you sure you are not pregnant?

I also hated it when people would say I looked like I was due any minute, particularly when I had two months to go. I also hate how within moments of delivery people want to know if/when you are having another. Thanks, folks, but my vagina is still bleeding.
