Cheeky mare
9 Answers
Had to take my youngest to the doctor's today and as it is the school holidays I had to take my other children too (I have 5 (who were all planned although I obviously didn't plan on twins) - 9 years old, 6 years old, 4 years old and 2 year old twins). We waited 25 minutes for our appointment during which time they played with the toys available (in the empty waiting room) and generally were well behaved (with the exception of one of the twins who is a little 'over-excitable'). When I took the youngest ones in to the doctor's room the cheeky mare had the gall to ask me about what contraception I was using! Is it me or was that completely out of line?

I hate the way people make assumptions when you have kids, our dentist recently told my OH to have the snip, because we have a little girl and another baby on the way - the dentist seemed to think that anymore than 2 kids was a mistake, just because his 3rd was! Dentist though....I had to laugh to stop myself from going back and telling him he was advising about the wrong end of the body! Idiot!!

Id seriously reconsider trying to get your doctors changed as this one seems to be very judgmental and seems to worry more about morals then helping people, Im pretty sure theres nothing in the hippocratic oath he had to take about this.

Look, you're obviously wrong for having a large family, and what a terrible burden on society in general they must be. Bad, bad girl! Bl**dy idiot, how dare she say such a thing?!?! I come from a family of 4, and both my parents from a family of 6, it would never have even have been thought of 30 or 40 years ago to mention such a thing! Maybe they are getting Government advice about anyone having more than a couple of kids? Or just cheeky! I had a nurse in the village I used to live in tell me 'I'll have to use the bigger blood pressure band (don't know the name of it) because you're a bit chunky, aren't you love?' !! Cheek! I was most put out. :/
