Really People?!?!?!?!

Things are good right now. So I don't want to give anyone the wrong idea while I take a moment to gripe. Really, if this is all I have to complain about.... what's there to complain about, right?!? ;-)However, I still am fascinated by people. Their tendencies toward blatant ignorance, and their comfort level with it.Gripe One: My mom mentioned to me that she and several others are "Happy that [we] are done" having children. Now first of all, I have a one week old baby. I think enough said. Second, I haven't sat down and made that concrete decision with David and God yet. Which brings me to my third point. David, God, Myself, and depending on how much guidance we need, our Bishop are about the ONLY people I can even THINK of that have ANY pull or say in the matter.I am healthy, I have healthy children, we are supporting ourselves, and taking what I would consider adequate care of our Family. We're not perfect, we have our problems, we have TONS AND TONS to learn. But isn't that life?Now, I am not ignorant. I understand EXACTLY what it means to have more children. But I have at least 18 months to worry about that. I personally think that 4 might be just right for our budget and sanity. But who knows. Let's just say I'm not taking permanent measures at this time.So I really wish people would just keep THAT particular opinion to themselves! ESPECIALLY those who are LDS/Family oriented and understand just what choosing to either have or not have a Baby means in the eternal scheme of things.


Gripe Two: Someone at David's job "filed a complaint" about how David was standing around doing nothing and talking to one of the other shop hands while someone who didn't HAVE to be in the shop but was there to lend a hand, did all of the work. Thank HEAVEN for a boss who didn't just accept the complaint. He asked this person what day it took place. He was told it happened on Friday. Well, talk about having his "butt covered." It is VERY common knowledge that the past 2 Fridays, David has not been at work because of the Baby. So, this boss simply said that it was kind of odd that David could be standing around BS'ing when he wasn't even there. Fortunately, enough said.
