I don't think people make these comments to be hurtful. I think parenting is stressful and they make these comments to alleviate stress. I have two sons who are 18 and 14 years olds. We also have a daughter who is 9. There are many times my husband and I have said to each other and to friends, "what were we thinking!!!! We would be almost done now." Doesn't at all mean we don't want our daughter or we are sorry we have her or we wish she wasn't here or we want to hurt our friends. Its an innocent comment. I think people take things too personally. JMO.
