What Many MoMs Deal With Daily

It's amazing the looks, stares, points, comments and converstations I am privy to now that I am a MoM (Mother of Multiples). Pretty much everytime I am out with the babies someone will come up to me to chat about our babies. Truthfully, I don't mind it too much, even though sometimes I am in a hurry and don't have time to chat, I do enjoy talking about my babies. However, I have only been a MoM for a short period of time, and I imagine that the looks, comments, points and stares could possibly get old farily quickly. It is true, every time Jim and I are out with the babies, we make a bet to see how many people will come up to us to chat about the babies. It is a fun game. Both Jim and I are pretty reserved and shy so it is hard to constantly be chatting with everyone, but I think we do pretty good.

There are some questions that we pretty much will get asked all.the.time. Almost always people will ask, "Are they a boy and a girl," followed by, "Are they identical," and then others similar to, "Do twins run in your family," and "How do you handle it?" Then sometimes I have had people say things like, "Better you than me," which in my opinion is kind of rude.

Anyway, a lot of MoMs hate the comments from random strangers. Especially as the questions relate to infertility. So just keep that in mind when you encounter a MoM.

Here is a video that pretty much sums up all the questions and comments that MoMs are subjected to:
