FB comment is bothering me...

And it shouldn't b/c I know the girl who made it would never mean anything by it and she is the sweetest lady ever.

My status this morning was "the only problem with sleeping in is you lose so much of your day." To which my manager's wife responded "What is this "sleeping in" that you speak of? Wait.. I have a faded memory, maybe 6 years ago when I didn't have a child-sized human alarm clock. Enjoy it while you can!" And a girl I work with who got PG by accident after dating her BF for 6 months liked the comment.

I burst into tears as soon as I read the comment. It isn't like it is mean spirited or anything, just a reminder I didn't need today. I thought my emotions would be more even this month since I am not on any hormones, but I have been just as touchy as I was during IVF.

    I saw that...it pissed me off and I almost made a snotty comment about plenty of people who sleep wihle thier children rip their house apart.....Confused I would never becasue I don't know you well enough but I was riled.....I am PMSing so it doesn't take much today.

    And FWIW, sweetie, your hormones are still out of whack even though you may not be on meds. That would bother me even if I wasn't on meds, though....not kidding. And it's really not nice if she knows you are struggling. Maybe she thinks she is just being positive but Ick!

    People are clueless. I swear there needs to be PSAs about how to not be an ignorant a-hole about IF!

    History of IF and 2.5 years TTC. The day we were to start our first IUI we received a call that changed our lives forever and 10 month old Olivia joined our family. Shortly thereafter we got a surprise BFP and baby 2 is due July 5, 2012

    I'd be irritated, too.  I know statements like that are typically from ignorance (not knowing what we go through), but it sometimes makes me want to respond, "Well, my dead babies don't keep me up!"  Devil

    After 5.5 years of loss, heartbreak, and empty arms, our dreams were fulfilled through the beautiful, selfless gift of adoption. We are amazingly blessed!
