The silver lining

MeggieChrisMeggieChris
in April 2011 Moms

I always try to find the positive in any situation. Tonight it came in an unexpected way. I'm a retail manager and was on the closing shift tonight. I was in complete agony. LO is bouncing on my hips causing lots of pressure. I was having sciatic nerve pain with almost every step. My feet and ankles are so swollen and bruised, I barely recognize them.  I pretty much just wanted to die. So I'm trying to focus on getting through the night and find something positive about this when my cashier asks if I was okay. She's 16 and slightly annoying most days, but overall a good worker. So I told her how I felt and her resonse was, "OMG. My boyfriend is totally wearing a condom from now on." And there it was. The silver lining. If my agony can stop some 16 year olds from making stupid choices, I'll take it. Just thought I'd share.

    That's absolutely a silver lining.  I hope my daughter isn't that stupid and irresponsible someday (or my sons for that matter).

    Yes My 14 year-old sister came to me when she wanted to have sex with her boyfriend, and I reminded her that birth control isn't 100% effective (Patrick is a BCP -fail baby.) so I said to make sure to use a condom. Yea, I think I scared her because two days later she said she wasn't ready...She's also going to be at the hospital while I labor. Nothing like striking fear into them to keep them from making bad decisions.

    Lets just hope she sticks to that and takes your advice to heart. I feel like such a young mom at 22, I couldn't imagine being 16 and pregnant!!

    My mom keeps joking that she's going to let my brothers (16 & 13) in L&D to scare them from ever having sex. Then my smartass 16yo brother said "Do you not want any more grandchildren, then?". Sigh, talking (or should I say scaring?) girls out of DTD is easier than it is boys.

    Totally worth it.  My staff members were talking about how being around me this week was all the birth control they needed.  They are college age but most have not been around anyone pregnant or any babies.  I think that they have just watched my body change and have seen me were out.

    Now when the baby is born I might be able to give them a WHOLE new reason to use birth control!!
