My mother just called and left VM to inform me that she ordered me an oversized vibrator --- that she expects me to use regularly with DH to help prevent tearing until LO delivery!! Best intentions yes--- but Holy Shit Ma! On my answering machine --- my DH is mortified that she's suddenly so comfortable talking about our sex life and genitals!!
UPDATE: for the oversensitive -- please refrain from commenting. I've retracted details that were apparently too graphic for some readers --
Re: Rant: Anyone else's mother suddenly comfortable with "no filter" conversations?!!!
But I guess since you don't have any pants on, you're all set.

I do not care if you feel bad or not. I'm simply stating it was uncalled for.
As for uncalled for, throwing around adoption and losses in an attempt to win at the internet is uncalled for. That's shameful.

You are absolutely entitled to your own opinion-- however, my mother is grateful for her losses-- and it is something she openly talks about. She believes it was fate bringing her the children that were meant to be hers, just in a different way.

Win at the internet? Is that a thing?!
I'm grateful that I'm adopted-- my parents are amazing. It's not a shameful topic that one would "throw around" to make others feel guilty, shameful or whatever else you might think-- and neither are my mothers previous losses.
I should run away because my mother hasn't a different view of her losses than the majority of people on here? How is that acceptable?!
Eta: I'm very open about my IF...but if anyone in my fam used it as ammunition in a public discussion, online or otherwise, I'd be pissed.
Ummm this. If your mom can look at her losses positively, that's fan fucking tastic, however that's nothing to throw around in internet arguments. That's fucking disgusting.
Also I'm super happy for you that you were adopted but that has no bearing on the apple-tree statement. Saying the apple doesn't fall far from the tree apples whether you are blood related or not because it's based on your behaviors. Which of course are learned from the woman who raised you.
Also for the record we don't know you and don't care about your inappropriate vibrator experiences.
ETA: I wish I would have seen this before she "retracted details that were apparently too graphic".
Don't worry though I am BEYOND grateful for my dd that is here with me because you know it was fate! I am also beyond grateful for the LO growing inside me, and pray every day nothing goes wrong. Even though everytime I go to the doctor I still feel a sense of panick when they try and find the heartbeat. In the back of my head from now on I will just remember it's fate that maybe this baby is also actually meant to be mine. Thanks! (Hope you can understand sarcasm) Goodbye, I'm done.
You're right. Neither adoption nor losses are shameful topics. The way in which you're tossing them around to prove a point or win an argument, however, is fucking disgusting.
As far as your mom's opinion on her losses - that's her opinion to have. Not yours to toss around as you please, especially with this audience. I cannot tell you how many people told me my loss happened for a reason, but I can tell you I wanted to punch every single one of them in the throat.
So go ahead and keep it up. Or better yet, GTFO.
