I'm feeling really low this week. My whole family is pregnant it seems (3 cousins and my sister *all their 2nd child) and I am happy for them... Its the random remarks I can't stand. I haven't told my family that we are trying to conceive because I fear the comments every month followed by disappointment. So as far as my family thinks I'm not interested in having kids. I've never said as much and my close family knows how much I love kids etc, I think they just assume I don't want kids right now because I never say otherwise. Because of these assumptions I get constant remarks about how thankful I should be that they're pregnant (because it takes the pressure off my husband and I), its always said in a humurous tone and I'm sure they mean well, but it kills me every time someone says it. I just want to scream that we are trying and failing to conceive our own child and every time some ignorant person makes a comment about how lucky we are I want to cry. I'm not lucky at all. I can't even do the one thing I am supposed to be able to do. Anyways, I am happy for my cousins and sister... I am. I just would be a lot happier if people would really think about what they say before they say it especially where fertility/family planning is involved. This whole ordeal really opened my eyes as to be careful what assumptions I make on others. You never really know what is going on in someone's life so don't assume anything.
Sorry about the rant I just had to get it out.
