TTC After a Loss 6 Months+

I did something kind of "big" today.

Told MIL we might never have kids.

Granted, I didn't open up about our loss or our issues ttc (she knows nothing about either). 

She got on our case tonight (AGAIN!) about having kids, so I said, "well, we're not sure we're ever going to have kids." and left it at that. 

So (obviously) she probably has the impression that we're not sure we WANT kids.....but still, I think it's good that she at least has the idea in her head that we might never have kids. Because, well.....at this rate we might never have kids. Sad

  • Oh Hugs!  I am glad you were able to put her in her place.  The worst is when people keep buging us about having kids or worse telling us not to "rush" into having kids.

  • Big hugs, Lindsay. And good for you for saying something that will hopefully stop her getting in your business about it. 
  • ((hugs)) I hate that she is on your case about it.  I would have snapped at her already and told her about the loss, you're a much better person than me for pretty much keeping your cool!  I hope she leaves you alone about it now!

    I have faith it will happen for you.

  • Lindsay I'm glad you gave her a verbal slap to shut up. I have faith it will happen for you and it's always easier when you don't have people on your case bugging you about it!

  • I'm sorry you had to deal with that, but I'm glad you said something to her.  I hope she realizes that she better just mind her own business on this topic.  ((hugs))

  • ::hugs:: I am sorry you have to endure the constant pestering, people need to mind their own business. Good for you for saying what you did, hopefully it will get the message across looped and clear. I am always hopeful for you.
  • ((hugs)) I'm sorry. I wish people could just mind their own business. I've been tempted to tell people no, we're not having kids, we plan to just get a few more chihuahuas. People are so annoying. I hope she leaves you alone.

  • ((hugs)) hope she stops bugging you now. I hate when people ask about kids, lately I have been telling more people about our losses because I'm tired of being asked. I really believe it will happen for you and you will have kids.

  • Sorry you had to go through that.  Hopefully she will back off and give you the space and privacy you deserve.  It's hard enough going through this process, but to have someone hounding you about it makes it that more unbearable.
