I got asked again today after saying my inside babies are b/g, if they are identical. When I said yes politely, she said "well, they could still surprise you when they come and be identical, right?" Oi.

Usually saying "no, one has a penis" makes them get the point.

Hi! I'm new. I have fraternal boys that are almost 10. I have had a few good ones. When the boys were a few months old I was in Wal-Mart and had a cashier insist I had Irish twins rather than actual twins. She argued with me that the boys were actually two different ages.
I had a 4th not quite 2 years later and was told I was wrong for populating the world like I was.
My two have a noticeable size difference. No one believes me that they are twins now and argue with me that my youngest son is the twin with the smaller of the twins.
I think the best was when I was with my 4 boys shortly after the 4th was born. I had a 10 year old, two 2 year olds, and a newborn baby getting Christmas pictures. The photography studio was running late and I had planned an appointment for right after the twins' nap and the baby's eating time. By the time they got to us, the twins had been sitting for a few hours and the baby needed to eat again. My youngest was crying and the twins weren't cooperating. The person told me she had just found out she was pregnant with twins and was hoping to miscarry after the experience with my kids. She got a call to corporate office because of that.

Yeah, I would have said some completely not nice things, including that she herself should drop dead. I hope the bitch got fired.

I was too busy chasing down a 2 year old who was running away to say more than a "You don't deserve children with that attitude."
A friend's mom last weekend: "Oh wow I didn't know you were pregnant! Congrats! How far along are you?" Me: "26 weeks" Her: "Ohhhhhhh........ you're kinda big for 26 weeks" Me: "Well there's two in there so..." Her: "Oh wow! Do you know the genders?" Me: "They're boys" (in a cheery voice) Her: long pause.... "well...... that'll probably be alright" (in a disappointed voice)
Umm what?! Yeah, I think it'll be alright too and we've decided to keep both instead of just the cuter one and selling the other.... but seriously though, how am I supposed to respond to this? People can be so rude.

Yeah, apparently two boys is the least favorable twin set. ::eye roll::
I'm hating all the 'oh you'll have the perfect family with one of each!' And 'getting it over it one shot?' And my fav 'so you guys are done now right?'
Um no. To all of that. Why do people think your family isn't complete until you have a boy and girl? And if you have one or more of each, why do they think they can say that you're done having babies?

All this.
I told DH when we started I wanted 2 pregnancies. Now everyone saying "you're done, right?" has him conveniently forgetting this conversation...

This is what we are battling with as well. I am almost sure I will want another one after these 2 are born but everybody seems to think that we will be done now.

I wanted 2 pregnancies as well. We got all the perfect family comments and it made me feel really weird about #3. Like people were judging me and thinking that I was ruining my perfect family by throwing it off balance or something. I can now confidently say that our family is complete and perfect with 3 kids. People need to mind their own business when it comes to other people's family plans.
I'm glad I'm not the only one that those comments upset!
We had to do IVF to get these babies, and we have frozen embryos still. So I have a really hard time not freaking out on people. Unless I have a terrible pregnancy/delivery and never want to do it again (which so far that's not the case) or we find that we are completely content with our twins, we will be having more babies! Leave me alone with your comments rude people.

I've had a lot of the normal ones. Asking if I have twins in the family, if they were "assisted" and I have even had people tell me I was lying about having twins. I'm pretty sure that would be a stupid thing to lie about.
Customer Service Lady at Walmart: (points to smaller twin) "Is she older?" Me: "No, she is. By a minute." (points to bigger twin) Lady: "Oh. Usually the smaller one is the older one."

My smaller one is older, but I get the opposite. "Usually the bigger one is older." Lol

I usually get that too. They'll point to the bigger one and, with a knowing look, ask if she's the older one. It's like "dude, a minute isn't going to make a difference here!"

Random woman also waiting with her child for the escalator to take us on the subway: "twins?" me: "yep" RW: "Did you tear?" In my head: Are you seriously asking me about my vagina after we met literally two seconds ago while standing around out in public? How on earth is this appropriate? Also, you are actually asking about my wife's vagina since she is the one who carried them, but we don't have to get into it. Me (out loud): "nope"

I didn't think I would get to post on this thread but over the weekend DH's uncle was in town and looking at our ultrasound pics. After acknowledging they are boy/girl his next question was are they identical? I tried not to smile and thankfully his son jumped in and informed him it would be impossible for them to be identical.
