bad IF day

 Just need a small vent...

Went out to dinner with my DH and was asked by a waitress if we needed the high chair sitting next to our table.  DUHHHHHH....why would we need it if it is just my DH and I?  One more reminder of not having a child in our family.  

Thanks for listening....

    I am sure she was just trying to be helpful, but wouldn't she see that you didn't have a child with you? Sometimes people just don't think. People who have never dealt with IF cannot even imagine how painful such questions could be. Our neighbour recently told us that we shouldn't wait forever to have kids. I wanted to snap back that we've been at it for almost two and a half years now, so she should rather just shut up, but I didn't. I just smiled and said that there is a time for everything.

    :(  How irritating.  It is amazing how many little reminders are all around us all the time.  And as much as I prefer to keep this to myself and my small support circle, I sometimes want to wear a sign that says "I'm infertile....think before you speak," though I often wonder if it would even do any good.

    Thanks everyone....some days are easier to handle when absurd situations happen, but this really topped my list!  LOL  I think I looked at her like she had 2 heads?  Oh well.....today has been a better day and frankly all of you help me to KNOW that it's NOT just me that feels this way.  :)
