I am 23 soon to be 24. I have been happily married for a little over 3 years and have 2 beautiful little girls that I adore. I am also pregnant with my third. Making me a mommy of three girls under the age of three when this one makes her grand entrance. I have recently been the butt of alot of peoples jokes and talks with comments such as " your to stupid to realize you have thrown your life away.", or " don't you know what birth control is." I have a serious medical issue that was diagnosed during my pregnancy with our second daughter and is still being treated. Both my second and third girls have been conceived on birth control so yes i do know what birth control is and was actively using it =) I feel my family is a blessing given the recent medical condition that could potentially make this our last baby. but how do i continue to hold my head up high and stay strong when every day whether it be at the grocery store or at work someone has something negative to say.. and how do you respond? thoughts anyone?

Quoting housefullofkidz:
It's all perspective. They may think you threw your life away but I would prefer to think they don't know what they are missing ;-)
As far as the birth control comments. Dont' worry about them. I have a shirt that says " birth control is for sissies" ha ha! My friends dad always says " don't you know what causes that?" I would always say " we are getting really good at it" LOL! It doesn't bother anymore.
That's funny... My sister has a shirt that says "my husband went to Iraq, and all I got was pregnant." and when people joke with my husband about "don't you know what causes that" he always tells them that " we are getting close to figuring it out..." =)*~*Mommy of 3 Girls*~*
