Re: "Did You Really Just Say That?" - Mother's Day Edition
1. Yesterday at my grandma's memorial service my dad's best friend came up to me and asked when I was going to make my dad a grandpa.
2. One of my coworkers who *TW* knows about our losses *end TW* asked if we were trying again. I explained that we are and that I'm on progesterone after O to prevent more losses. She then went on and on about some friend of a friend who tried for years and had several failed rounds of IVF. Apparently this friend is now 4 months pregnant after stopping everything and relaxing. *Insert your favorite eye rolling gif and that was basically the expression on my face.*

Outside of that, just about every girl in my work is pregnant (legit I think there are 6 at the moment) so naturally I keep getting questioned as to when I'm having another. Sorry guys, it's not that easy. If it were, I'd be home on my maternity leave right now. But thanks for asking

May TTGP Siggy Challenge - Awkward Prom Photos:
I was at a professional conference for a society where I hold a high-level leadership position. An older gentleman from a different chapter, with whom I've had minimal conversation, decided to have this exchange with me:
Me: Yes, thank you.
OG: So are you trying to start a family?
M: Oh, you know, maybe. We're just trying to figure everything out.
OG: I know, your generation just doesn't believe in that stuff anymore. My daughter and her husband decided to be childless. I guess that's what people do nowadays.

Even if I WAS pregnant, wait till we announce instead of just speculating!!
@flashley-2 I'm sorry that you aren't being appreciated. My parents are divorced and both remarried so I have both a stepmom and a stepdad. I can't say it was always easy or that as the child in the equation that I always appreciated my four parents but it was actually my MOTHER who made my siblings and me acknowledge my stepmom on mother's day. And now that we're older, my siblings and I all recognize both of our stepparents as a integral part of the family.
I don't want to butt in to your relationship but if it's bothering you, why not say something to DF?
@50Wife I live in a community where people tend to get pregnant pretty much right away after marriage or at least within the first year. I've been married for a year and a half and no baby (**********TW*********** at least not one that people know about, MC three months ago ***END TW***). So people won't stop asking me when we're having kids. Not only that but when I meet new people that don't ask me IF I have kids but rather HOW MANY kids I have.

@SCK2411 Hey girl, you're not butting in at all. I guess I always felt I should be recognized but never said anything because I feel like being recognized because I ask for it isn't the same as being recognized because I'm recognized if that makes sense ?

My mom did almost the same thing to me not long after we were married, and not in so many words. But still. I was like,

I think that ish is more about them, than us. If it makes you feel any better... but I'm with ya. It's weird. :/ like what kind of future grandma ARE YOU???
Just a couple weeks ago a family friend stopped by my office looking for my Dad. Well, this family friend made himself comfortable in my office while waiting and struck up a lovely conversation about how much I OWE my parents grandchildren. The look on his face screamed "what's wrong with you?" and his words just about matched.
I just don't understand why some people think it's OK to say the things they do. My husband and I hadn't been trying until now but we also hadn't been using protection for several years so, I already wonder if there's something wrong with me... I don't need everyone else adding to it!
I think you all will get a kick out of this one: A coworker told me on chat that someone who works in his room (we have several rooms of cube farms) is handing out a rose to all the mothers today. After I picked my jaw up off the floor I said "It's a lovely sentiment, but entirely unprofessional and, if I want to get militantly feminist, demeaning." He said "Everyone here went militant feminist. And agree on unprofessional." He goes "Everyone seems to be on the same page with this, yet [coworker] thought it was a great idea." I then pointed out how it's alienating all the women who don't have children, and is extremely hurtful to women who want/wanted children but don't have them, and is doubling the pain of Mother's Day by stretching it into two days. He hadn't even thought of the infertility angle, as most don't. As background, this coworker is known for being insane and weird so I'm not at all surprised he did something like this to try to curry favor. It's just so obtuse.
