I don't think I can do another child free xmas

lyse2143 · December 2010

It was a great Christmas, I don't really have any room to complain, but seriously between all the kids here opening stuff, and everyone fawning over the babies and kids, and the comments towards us for not having children, even from people who know damn we'll we've been trying, I just can't. If I don't have a baby either in my belly or lap next year, I'm skipping the holidays.

I hear you. MH and his brothers were playing the "who does mom like best game" again this year on Christmas, where they all joke about why my MIL likes them best. My BIL said to MH, "well WE gave her grandchildren!" and then kept repeating it. That sucked.

WOW. I would have punched someone. I'm sorry.

I am so right there with you! While DH and I were driving home from the ILs this morning we actually had a conversation about this. We decided that if we don't for a LO or I'm not PG by next Xmas, we are going away somewhere and just bypassing all the family christmas stuff. I just can't bear another year of it.

I absolutely agree. It flat out sucks. And we kind of did skip the holidays.

OMG! That's awful!

I agree....it was pretty miserable. I will say though, I'm not around a lot of babies (I try to stay away best I can and I never offer to hold them)...but this weekend I held a few and it just felt so good....but at the same time it was so difficult. It made the ride home so miserable

Here's to all of us with big (or even little) bellies (or babies) next Christmas!!!

I'm sorry you had a rough day. I completely understand how you feel. Its all about my niece and pregnant SIL. It sucks. (((((Hugs)))))

I'm with you, it was so hard seeing dh play with my little brother and wishing we had a little one for him to help open christmas presents with and play with. I wanted to go away this christmas but it's hard for dh to get off this time of year. Next year I would love to go away if we don't have a baby or pregnant by christmas time.

Amen sister!!

I am 100% with you Lyse! We can have a holiday avoidance party next year, because I am not putting up with this again. Hopefully we won't need to, but in the event, I am with you! Between the BFP announcements from family and friends and my mothers unnecessary "whenever I get a grandkid" comments, I was ready to get an eggnog IV.

lyse2143 · December 2010

Oh and I completely lost it when I heard that friends of the family are pg with #4, to try for a boy since they have 3 girls. Oh and they got pg when we would have with IVF #1.

Edwina I hope you're there with me!!

((hugs)) I know how you feel.

LCS040209 · December 2010

Meee too! Next year you will have a bump or a baby

i hear ya!

bhead81 · December 2010

I hear you on that feeling. In years past at least I had 1 cousin that that didn't have kids and my husband's sister's kids at 16 and 17...but not this year....everyone is either PG, has kids or just had a baby. This Christmas I spent is surrounded by kids. Don't get me wrong I love my neices and nephews but it is so hard seeing everyone with their families and sitting there with the empty womb. DH didn't understand why I have been crabby the past few days until he finally put two and two together when I broke down over another PG announcement.

I'm with you 100%. We will be somewhere warm and expensive if we aren't pregnant by next Christmas. Enough family/babies this year. ((HUGS))

I cant either.....Would love to go away for next year. My DH has kids and he is just sooooooo happy during the holidays, while I put on my happy face. Nothing irks me more than to hear him say "Dont be a Grinch and Whats wrong?". I wish I could go away, but it will never happen!!!!!!!
