Starting to feel the pressure of making our parents "grandparents" ugh

[Kimiw]

I'm sorry ladies this is going to be a bit of a venting thread. Dh and I have been ttc for going on 7 years ( been married 6 1/2). I am 31 years old so I know time is ticking but I can do without the, "did you hear so and so are pregnant?" My sister is finally going to be a grandma! I want to be a grandma again!" My cousin is pregnant from a one night freaking stand! Oh let's celebrate! Sorry but I'm just starting to get sick and tired of feeling the stress of not being able to provide a grand baby for my mom. She has one from my older brother and his wife and my younger brother and his wife don't want kids that leaves me and dh "the infertile couple". She knows of our struggles but I don't think she can accept it. I just needed to vent. And to make things worse, she has to tell my all about my cousins little bean that she conceived with a guy she just met.

Sorry to hear this. I think you need to have a heart to heart with your mum and explain that these comments are making an already heartbreaking situation even harder for you. If she wants another grandchild so bad.....she can surely imagine ow badly YOU want a child of your own. She probably doesn't realise how her comments hurt you x

I know she doesn't MEAN to hurt me but it kills me. I have a hard time telling others when I'm hurting. I have always been the go to person for everything. I think people forget I have feelings too and my infertility is the biggest thing in my life that can ruin my day. 7 years of longing to be a mother is starting to weigh heavily on my heart. I thought the longer I dealt with it I would get over it but I was way wrong, the desire is getting more and more intense as the years go by.
