What To Say To People Who Laugh At Us?

[wabrams]

mlchance:

Once, when disciplining my son (via a smack to the buttocks and a stern voice) for running off in a video store, a woman nearby frowned at me and shook her head in disapproval. I asked her if she wanted some too. She quickly broke off eye contact and shuffled away. Again, that probably isn’t a good response.

– Mark L. Chance.

I’m going to have to remember that for when I have kids!

HagiaSophia:

Use that great line fm Cheaper By the Dozen: We are building Noah’s ark and all we need now is a jackass. Come right along.

One of the best movie lines ever!!

We have three, one on the way, and one already in heaven.

My aunt is a pro-choice liberal who isn’t all that keen on the fact that we converted to Catholicism, and are pro-life republicans to boot.

When she found out we had one on the way (hey could be twins, in runs in the family,ya know…) she didn’t call for a week.

My wife called her this past weekend to check in with her and ask about her health (she fell and wrenched her knee). After talking about HER, my wife says “I guess you heard our news??”"

Silence.

Aunt: “…yeah…I did.”

Wife: “You…don’t…really sound all that happy?”

Aunt: “Well, I’m jsut worried about…the expense and all. I’m just really worried.”

Wife: “Ok…”

My wife didn’t know what to say. She was very hurt and livid all at the same time.

Now I have fantasies of holding my beautiful new daughter or son in my aunts house and exclaiming "Behold, my son!! Would you like to hold my newest expense??"

Better yet, I can say: "Thank goodness for the Bush tax plan, because this little one is worth $1200 instead of $600!!!

Aunt B, you ought to thank us, really. Without families like mine, you may not get your social security check much longer!

Before You Even Ask T Shirt

http://www.aquinasandmore.com/images/items/9303lg.jpg

General Description: Awesome shirt for parents of large families.

This shirt says “Before you even ask…” Yes, these are all my children and they’re awesome!
Yes, we have television; we just don’t need it!
No, this is not some sort of daycare; it’s 24/7!
Why should we fix it if it’s not broke?
Yes, we know where they come from…God.
We had planned on two, my spouse just can’t count.
Yes, we’ve heard of birth control; no birth and no control.
You should enjoy our large family; our kids will be paying your social security.
We didn’t plan the first few, why start now?
Are we done!?! We’re just getting started!
on the front and scripture quotes on the back. Navy blue.

Ahhhhhhhhhhh!!! I’m so upset, I’ve been working on one of these too for expectant mothers. Oh well, I’ve got way more comments than these!

When people ask us if we’re going to have another I always say, “With kids as cute as ours, why wouldn’t we want to have more?”

To those who ask about our birthcontrol methods (we’re about to have our sixth) I’ve always wanted to say something like, “Since you have no problems with intruding on someone’s sex life, why don’t you come on over tonight and give us a critique?” I mean, really, do they even think about what they are asking? They are essentially asking what you put on or in your body when you are planning on being intimate with your spouse? Yikes! :bigyikes: I’m really going to have to try this one some time. It might make them think twice about what they are saying.
