Rude comment-"that was always my WORST fear"
I am SO mad! Last night I was at the fabric store when a woman passed me (pushing my double stroller with my 2 beautiful sons in it) and said "oh my, you sure have your hands full." Well, I have heard that one before, so I just said "sometimes" with an air in my voice as if to say...maybe so, but the joys certainly out weigh the stresses.
Well, she should have just left it there...instead she said "You know, that was always my worst fear...TWINS." The first thing that ran thru my head was "well lady try dealing with the fear that you will NEVER be pregnant! Then further deal with the emotional issues that come with dealing with infertility." Instead I just said "Well, my husband and I have adopted these boys, so we CHOSE to have them at the same time. Not only that, but we are currently buying a bigger house so that we can adopt more." You should have seen her eyes. You also should have heard her try to back peddal.
Even if they WERE twins, I still find it to be rude. Just because I push a double stroller does not give everyone fair game to share their rude comments and questions. We have gotten this ever since Bear joined out family. I think I am just getting sick of it!
