As a human, the pool of stupid comments is, let's say as big as Lake Superior and Lake Michigan. When you add the title mom to human, the pool of stupid turns into at least one ocean. Add an ocean for each additional child. That's a whole lotta stupid. Knowing this makes it possible for me to ignore most of it.
However, when people are downright rude, that's another story. I haven't had much rude directed at my little family.
I often go shopping with my sister in law, also a mother of three. We're most aware that we look like a preschool - six kids ages 7, 4, 4, 2, 2 and almost 8 months - on a field trip when we're out. If people have nasty things to say, they've always been quiet about it. Until the other day.
We were making our way into Whole Foods (which I'm liking less and less - thanks for getting rid of our fave & your most popular selling cereal - makes sense) when two ancient women were leaving. One old bitty said real bitchy like, "Well, thanks for helping with overpopulation." So I said, "Actually, they all have different dads. That makes us -2 when it's all said and done." No, I didn't, but should it happen again, I will.

NO WAY!! What a bitcheyo!!!! I would have kicked her in the hip! LOL. Some people are just freaks!
You should have said it...so would have been worth the look on their faces. We are often recipients of unwanted comments/questions. Are they twins is the most common. Alexa growls at them, Chris tells people no, I just smile and nod.
Unbelievable
