[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 14485, member: 1550"] My pet peeve, especially when spoken in front of my kids: "You ADOPTED these kids? You're a Saint! There's a special place in Heaven for you!" Another one I hear, because my kids are different races is, "So your husband is black/Asian" (depending on which kid is with me). I may add, this happened A LOT more when my kids were babies. My daughter had a hilarious comment made to her once that I'll share just for the humor value. She was in tech school and talking to a girl whom she described at ditzy. The girl asked about Julie's family and she told her that she has a brother who is Chinese, a brother who is white, and two black siblings. She told me that most people "get" it,b ut this girl stammered and stuttered and finally said, "Wow! Your Mom has sure been with a lot of men!!!!" [/QUOTE]
