I know it isn't their fault I lost my baby but I just wanted to scream at them when I saw that this morning. Why does she get to have 19 and I couldn't keep my one. I hate these people...okay I don't hate them. I hate seeing their happy smiling 18 children announcing they are having the 19th one while I sit here wishing I still had my little bean.
Re: Duggars
Ugh!!! I had the same, irrational, black hatred for her when I saw her this morning.
I KNOW there are not a finite number of babies in the universe and I KNOW that her ability to have children does not affect my ability to have children - but still. It's such a slap in the face that her 18 year old daughter in law is pg., she's pg. with number 19 and I can't get ONE under my belt.
I just want to scream, "NOT FAIR!!" The only reason the family can afford that many kids (I don't care HOW many rental properties you have) is because of their tv program. And I don't care how loving and great a person you are - you cannot give 19 children all the love and attention each one needs.
That or I'm just bitter at fertile women and making up reasons to hate her...
I TOTALLY understand. After two years of IF - we FINALLY got pregnant and then lost our baby at 11.5 weeks. I know it's not their fault, but I felt a lot of disgust seeing that this morning.
You are right they can't give all of them the love and attention they need. I have seen the show a few times and they have a sign up sheet for the kids to get time with mom & dad. Otherwise the older kids are assigned younger ones that they care for. I think that is wrong. If you have a belief that BC is wrong that is your choice but you can at least do some natural family planning. All of us who have TTC have at least a good idea of when we are fertile. Sometimes it seems they just enjoy being a side show.
Maybe I am just another angry bitter woman but right now I don't care.
I remember an OB appt when I was about 4 months. There was a lady on meth in the office and about 8 months pg. I pulled the Dr. aside to make sure they knew she was using. My OB told me that they were well aware and her baby was actually doing fine.
I think back to her sometimes. How it is a meth head can have a baby- and couldn't? I am sure her child will have issues and is not 100% healthy- but at least her child is alive. I get so mad when I think of her. Sometimes I guess life just isn't fair.
Not exactly the same as the Duggar- but simular flavor.

Dear God, they are having another one????
I get what you mean... why is it she is allowed to have 19, but why is it some of us can't even get one. I don't hate her either, but it drives me up the wall. She just says "I have 18 kids" like it's easy... and normal. It just isn't fair!
