Stupid shit people say to large families

I hate the stupid shit that some people say to large families.  If you have 4 or more kids then i'm sure you've probably heard a few (or all) of these lovely little phrases.

Here are some comebacks you can say out loud if you're really brave or feel free to just keep them in your head if you prefer.

Stupid question/comment #1: You're Hands Must Be Full

Answer: No, my hands aren't full, but my ass sure is.  I guess it's all that stress from raising such a large family.  I can't seem to stop eating.

Stupid question/comment #2: Don't you know what birth control is? 

Answer: Yes, we hang your annual Christmas photo greeting card on our fridge and look at it before we have sex.  It's worked quite well.  We would've had a lot more than 5 kids if it weren't for your photos.  Please keep them coming!

Stupid question/comment #3: I don't know how you do it

Answer:  Great! I'll be dropping my kids off at your house at dinnertime.  You can keep them for a week and then the mystery will be solved!

Stupid question/comment #4: Are they all yours?

Answer:  No. I like to collect random kids.  I'm hoping TLC will eventually give me my own reality show.

Stupid question/comment #5: It must be crazy at your house

Answer:  Yeah, my husband is kind of a freak when he dresses up in his….oh wait you weren't talking about that kind of crazy.  Nevermind!

Stupid question/comment #6: You do know what causes this right?  

Answer:  No, I don't.  Can you explain it to me?  I'm a visual learner by the way so pictures work best.

Stupid question/comment #7: Are you having anymore?

Answer: I don't know.  My vagina isn't a Magic 8 ball.

Stupid question/comment #8: I can barely handle 2 kids, I can't imagine 5! 

Answer: Yeah, if I had your kids, I would've stopped at 2 also.

Stupid question/comment #9: Do they all have the same dad? 

Answer: No, some of them belong to your husband.  You'll be hearing from my attorney soon about how much child support he owes me.

Stupid question/comment #10: How can you afford all these kids?

Answer: We hit up random strangers for donations.  How much did you want to donate today?

Stupid question/comment #11: You're done right? 

Answer: Nope, i'll never be done having sex.

Stupid question/comment #12: I could never handle 5

Answer: Yeah, I don't think you could either (and then just leave it at that and let them ponder your answer for a while. It will drive them crazy).

  2. OHMYWORD I LOVE YOU!!!! You hit every freaking thing. Every time i take the 5 out, it's ridiculous. It's not like they're deformed primordial dwarfs. They are just kids. Who generally behave. Ish. But still, mother F!!! Why do they feel free to say stupid crap?

  6. I couldn't help but laugh with all your answers to those questions. At least you find humor in this. I don't have a kid but I totally understand what your saying because I came from a big family. Up to now, some people are still surprise that we're 6 in the family. All I can is that there is so much fun in numbers!

    1. Your blog is super cute! Ironically I only had one sibling growing up (and we aren't close), so I didn't know what it was like to grow up in a larger family. I actually envy my kids for getting to grow up with lots of siblings. They fight and argue, but they all really love each other :) I hope they will stay close when they grow up. Thanks for stopping by!

  12. I get so sick of hearing the "your hands are full" comment. Kinda wish people would come up with something more original. Since we have had five boys, people always ask if we're going for a girl. Yes because that is the ONLY reason to have kids. (---- said with sarcasm. Great post!

    1. Ugh, I hate that! Personally (and i'm sure i'll get a lot of crap for saying this), i'm a total boy momma at heart. I love my girls dearly, but my boys are total momma's boys and we have a really special bond. I'm personally a little jealous of moms with all boys. 5 boys would be totally awesome!!!!

  13. The best reply I ever heard to the "Are they all yours?" question was "No, I work at a condom factory and these are all the rejects" Love it! (Fellow mom of 5, soon to be 6!)

  15. #4, 8, and 10. lol. I come from a family of 9 kids. I heard so much negativity over it that at one point, I became embarrassed of my big family. Thankfully, I got over that, absolutely love my family, and hope to have a big family myself one day. :D

  18. LOL. This is so hilarious. I love the last one. I have to admit I have probably said at least one or more of these stupid comments. Oops!

  19. As a mom of 7 you are so spot-on with this post! What is wrong with people anyway?? They just open their mouths and let the word vomit flow! When my kids were younger my BFF (who had 5 kids of her own) and I used to get together and take all the kids places. People would ask if we had a daycare....
