Okay, we've all heard the snide comments, felt the glaring eyes of strangers as they've tallied our broods in the aisles.... ( believe me, I only have 4 at the moment, and I've already taken some heat!!! I can only imagine it gets worse... )
I want to hear your best comebacks for the rude comments people make when sizing up your family. I have heard some good ones in the past.... so I want to know what has you giving it right back to them! What are some the rude comments people have made when commenting on your family size?

When ever we go anywhere people will just count heads and give that look like oh my. Or they will say only one girl. My husband now says Yes There 6 count them 6. I think it bugs him more than me. I like to say were trying tell we get twins peoples mouths just drop. We dont have twins so I love to throw that out there.

We have 10 and when people ask me if they are all my husbands', I say "no, this one came from the miik man, this one from the mail man, and so on". You should see the look on their faces! LOL!! I know it's rotten of me, but really, if your going to ask a stupid question, your going to get a smart remark. Some people are just stuck on stupid! Yes, I'm married, yes I gave birth to them all, and the winner..... yes they all have the SAME DADDY!

when all 7 of my kids were in school at the same time it was so great every morning to see the look on other parents face, when we would pull up to the school and open the van door and one by one the kids start hoping out lol i swear it's like a 10 minute process, 1st one has to grab his or her back pack and PE shoes, next one has to grab his or her back pack and lunch bag lol. the whole time you see other parents tripping as they keep looking back to see when the endless trail of kids stop coming from the van LOL.

As a mother of seven children the comment I get the most from strangers is , "You have your hands full". So then, I open my hands up and look (and I have nothing in my hands at the time) and I say, "nope"! I just hate that comment the most!!! Although, I have gotten ones more rude for sure, like are they all by the same dad? How do you do it with that many, I have two and I can't keep up!? Do you drive a bus or something? Here is by far the one I feel is just way too rude and pisses me way off, Are you going to have more? Like I am ever going to go up to someone (perfect stranger) and say, why do you only have one child, what is wrong with you, aren't you going to have more....?
Why is it that once you have like 3/4plus kids does the outside public world feel it is now there right to get involved with your family planning? LOL God have mercy on their rudeness!!

"Did you give birth to all of them?" - No, I hatched #4 and made my husband give birth to #6.
"Better you than me!" - Well, if that's how you feel about kids, yes, better me than you!
"Are you Catholic (or Mormon)?" - I n.eed a good comeback for this one! Anyone? I just look at them like they are stupid at the moment. When I first started getting this one I wasn't really anything. I've only been a Christian for about a year and a half. Sometimes I want to tell them that I'm in a cult and our leader requires large families
"Don't you know what causes that by now?" - *Big innocent eyes* NO! Do you???
I have decided that for this pregnancy, when I'm a big larger (more pregnant looking than just fat like now), I want a shirt that says something like "I'm not having a large family, I'm breeding minions!"

I was at Costco to pick up some pictures right after the birth of my 5th child. One of the employees started to the the old head count....1,2,3,4,5. Then you all know what came next..."Are they ALL yours?" he quized me. I replied "yes" and kept walking. He fell in step with me and told me, "You need a new hobby, well, at least a new hobby!"
I was stunned. I just did not even know what to say...so I left!

Quoting DeeD:I would have told him that my current hobby suited me just fine. Why find a new one when you're so good at the current one?
