Me and my DH have been TTC for a little over a year now with no sticky beans yet. We had a family reunion for my DHs extended family this weekend - family he's never even met before. So, there is the usual chit chat... what do you do, where do you live, etc. Well, this absolutely horrible woman asked if we had kids. My DH tells her no, but we are trying. Well, she goes on a rant about how there's no rush, they take up so much of your time and "wink, wink" are you REALLY sure you want to have them? Perhaps I'm just overly sensitive because I JUST had another chemical earlier this month... but I wanted to slap the shit out of her and ask her who the hell she was to make ANY assumptions about us. I didn't talk to her the rest of the evening, as I had no desire to get to know anything about her.
It's not just her though... even some of my friends... one in particular who shared her own fertility struggles (and now has a beautiful 7 month old little boy). She will call and rant about she hopes I'm ready for no sleep and how much the first 3 months such. I'd seriously give so much just to have the opportunity for a LO to keep me up. But sadly, I've not had that chance yet, and it makes me sad and angry.
Do any of you experience this as well? How do you handle it? I went ahead and told DH to please not tell "strangers" that we are TTC, but that doesn't do much for my friends... who I think I've started to alienate because I just don't want to hear them complain about their perfect, beautiful children.
