Here is a list of things you should never say to a woman who you just learned is pregnant… if you value your life, you will heed the warnings of this list…
1. Was this… planned…?
2. Any sentence with the word “belly” in it
3. Will this be your last one?
4. Oh, are you trying to get that boy (or girl)?
5. Just how many are you going to have?
6. Oh wow, we’re thinking of getting another dog
7. You’re starting a brood there aren’t you?
8. You’re so big, could it be twins?
When you are trying to have a bigger family, or to live the Catholic Church’s teachings on marriage and family life, you’re likely to encounter all sorts of colorful comments. I just refer people to Natural Family Planning (NFP) and try to show them how it is working for us so far. But, it’s important to laugh at the absurd things people say sometimes, especially in regards to children.
There’s #2????

Another thing people like to do when they know a pregnant woman is to pat their belly….an OK thing, but only after asking for permission!
I find it amusing that people would say things like that. As if the expectation nowadays is to have no more than 2 kids. I wonder if people realize that they are actively participating in the downfall of the United States. When a country reproduction rate falls below the replacement rate (~2.1 kids/couple), then it has either lost hope or is just stupid. The ONLY reason we’re even close to that rate is the massive amounts of latino immigrants. Come on, Catholics! We need to out breed them (those who think that kids are a danger to the environment and therefore you shouldn’t have more than 2, not Latinos).
