over dramatic vent

in Infertility

Ok so I am usually good at faking it, smiling and saying congrats when people tell me they are pregnant.  Talking my way around the subject when people ask me when are we going to start trying?  Yes, usually I am quite the actress.

Tonight however, someone who's opinion shouldnt matter to me in the LEAST (serious hillbilly from highschool that I haven't talked to in 15 years) got under my skin and I lost it.

The nerve of the stupid!  He of course was telling me about his, idk 15, expectant child.  Then asks me when I am going to have one, I politely skirt around it....he CONTINUES to tell me "I am not getting any younger and the older I get the harder it will be, and do I really want to be a grandmothers age raising a child?? That I shouldn't be a "chicken ***" and just do it already."  I lost it.  I lost it as someone struggling with infertility, but I also lost is as a woman.  I mean seriously this is 2013 right?  How is 30 too old?  I know I said mean things to him but I also know he's too stupid to get it.

Ok I knew I couldn't sleep until I got this off my chest...thanks for listening!  I wish there was a stupid filter in life

    Well, if it makes you feel any better, you've just done what I've been dying to do for a LONG time now! Don't beat yourself up over it; sounds like he might of deserved it. On the bright side, he took the beating for other "innocents". ;)

    They are usually the ones that have the 15 kids.....I don't think people should be able to ask that question. I started responding we have been for a long time to random people that ask me that. That usually shuts them up because they have no idea what to
