I have a pretty extended family. And I adore all of their children. Recently there has been a wave of FB pregnancy announcements, IRL, grapevine and every other way you can imagine.
The two cousins that are closes to me in age and who is aware of us TTC, have made me a bit sad lately. On Mothers Day she called me to tell me Happy Moms day because I am so motherly. The same day she sends me two pictures of positive HPT.
This follows a bunch of requests from me including $50 infant sneakers . This isn't her first. I thought she was a bit insensitive but today she sends me her sonogram. No conversation, no intro, just a picture with a sonogram.
My other cousin said she didn't feel inclined to let me hold her baby because I don't need the practice since I won't be having one of my own.
And another one decided that tagging me and only me in her Facebook announcement that was worthy of Life Magazine was appropriate.
Am I being too sensitive? I am happy for them that they are able to have children easily. I'm 25 and knew from 19 that it would be hard to conceive naturally. However, I would never tell someone I know in a situation where they want to have a child, was having certain difficulties and just be so inconsiderate towards them.
I just needed to vent a little.
ETA: I should've kept their fertility out of it. I would've hated if someone acted my lack of children in an argument against something I did that genuinely hurt them.
