I just had my 3rd miscarriage (3 weeks ago) and recently received an ex-colleague's FB update with u/s pic, and another pal's FB announcement that she's 13 weeks along - one week ahead of what I'd be right now. I haven't been able to congratulate either of them; I will eventually I suppose, but I can't yet. (And don't get me started on the pregnant woman I saw on the street corner yesterday surrounded by 3 more kids.)<BR/><BR/>I think the only thing we can do is be gracious; and if that fails, be humorously blunt - or just plain blunt, which is more my ill-equipped-for-such-discussions style. :)<BR/><BR/>- LAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26805135.post-64452316703210019792008-03-29T16:00:00.000-05:002008-03-29T16:00:00.000-05:00Ugh the announcements are bad enough but the on & ...Ugh the announcements are bad enough but the on & on & on pg discussion is just too much.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26805135.post-18544814021691625412008-03-28T18:56:00.000-05:002008-03-28T18:56:00.000-05:00I agree with almamay, gold stars to you!

There's a guy in my office who goes on ad nauseum (nauseatingly) about what a great time he has with his two kids and how much he loves being a father. Ugh.<BR/><BR/>You handled both situations beautifully.Pepperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11776234917145422506noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26805135.post-51564169636678459192008-03-28T10:44:00.000-05:002008-03-28T10:44:00.000-05:00You get a star for enduring that day with such gra...You get a star for enduring that day with such grace. <BR/><BR/>I like niobe's comment too.

I decided that I was sick of being judged on whether or not I had kids so I looked her straight in the eyes and said, "When you don't get married until you are over 40 y/o and biologically can NOT have children, my dog and cat ARE MY KIDS!" (I really wanted to punch her in the nose since I'm not nearly as gracious as you!) Then she quickly backed down! People can be so rude, insensitive and uncaring!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26805135.post-85005561171462759532008-03-28T06:12:00.000-05:002008-03-28T06:12:00.000-05:00It's funny (that is, funny strange) how both of th...It's funny (that is, funny strange) how both of these women could see the world only through the prism of their own experiences and be unaware of how their words might affect others who are in a completely different place.niobehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10685766216611639434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26805135.post-44153838850802144512008-03-27T21:28:00.000-05:002008-03-27T21:28:00.000-05:00Five gold stars for your bravery and for not commi...Five gold stars for your bravery and for not committing justifiable homicide.Almamayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07206790533323008540noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26805135.post-32145452495731124622008-03-27T17:48:00.000-05:002008-03-27T17:48:00.000-05:00I'm sorry for that announcement.

Have a good time looking at beds. I really enjoy sleeping and next year we are getting a new king size bed. I can't wait. Between the two dogs space is limited. I wish you the best with your adoption application. I'm pulling for you!!astralhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17071489588665538423noreply@blogger.com
