17 Things Someone From a Big Family is Tired of Hearing

Coming from a family of 10, I've heard all the remarks possible on big families, received some serious gawking looks at the grocery store, and been told the worries of total strangers on overpopulating the poor planet. (oh how will it cope?) 

So before I take to throwing giant squashes at the next peeping tom with their mouth hanging open, I've decided to compile a post, for all those who've been on the receiving end of weird looks & rude remarks on family size, here are...

1. Being referred to as a 'circus.'

"I can't imagine what mornings, shopping, Christmas (etc etc) would look like with your circus."

2. "So have you started a sports team? You might as well put your number to good use."

3. "Do you watch the Duggars? You must be just like them."

4. "Do you get a semi truck to bring your food home after grocery shopping?"

5. "Are your parents having more?"

6. "How do you afford to feed that gang?"

7. "Are you going to have a ton of kids?"

8. "What were your parents thinking?"

9. "Do you get along?"

10 . "Your grocery bill must be through the roof."

11. "Are you catholic? Mormon?"

12. "Oh your poor mother..."

13. "I have a headache just thinking about what you must go through." 

14. "Just wait till the teenage years." 

15. "Haven't you had enough?"

16. "You do know what causes that, don't you?"

17. "That's so careless! You're single handedly decreasing everyone's quality of life by over populating the planet!"

Librarians & The Information Desk...

I have trauma.

All my life I've gone to the library, and unfortunately, librarians, well they never seem to change. At least in the attitude department. *wink wink*

Here's how it always goes down....

(Make sure to read the text in between the gif's)

You walk through the library doors confidently...

You're ready for this. You've got the majesty on high today.

You need to find something, and sadly, you need help. So to the information desk you go.

Your expectations aren't high. You don't ask for much.

You take the dangerous plunge to the information desk.

The librarians enthusiasm is practically bursting at the seems. Obviously.

At first you try to be all cute and stuff....

Until you realize having a cute face doesn't sway them, and you'll have to think of something else.

A sense of humour maybe? Be funny?

Plot twist: You're not funny to them. 

They might even in fact, be exasperated with you now. 

 It obviously makes no sense.

But whatever. Let's progress here. 

She looks up your title....

But, in typical library fashion, they don't have it.

Then, again, very typical, she tells you she can put it on hold for you.

For a very small price. 

Your emotional stability.

But you need that movie, so you decide to go for it anyway.

Against your better judgement.

Then, somehow, her spidey senses kick in.

She looks over at you suspiciously.

You can sense the question she's about to ask.

Your inner self looks something like this:

You're pretty sure you know the librarians inner feelings too, tho. And they look something like this...

Then she jumps right in.

"Is this your card?"

Her: "You know that's illegal, right?"

(using your moms card.)

"I can't put this on hold for you."

"You should get your own card."

When the whole ordeal is over:

The end.

....Until next time.
