In this, people who want children and are having a tough time and people who desperately do not want them can relate.
The assumption is that everyone can pump out offspring to the tune of however many everyone else thinks is ideal.
And it never stops. "Only one?" "She's got 6??? WTH?"
I know. Can't we all have our privacy? I have never understood the urge on the part of parents to get everyone else to procreate. Seriously, the human race will go on.
Ok, isolated blurt: Dark chocolate with a touch of sea salt? Heaven! The Vosge chocolate bar with bacon bits? Ehhhh, it's kind of yuppie foodie indulgence gone very wrong.
Le singe est sur la branche!
Sorry, this isn't isolated blurt, but boundaries judo has been my life's work more or less - I throw this out in the hopes that maybe there's something useful in it.
I don't even want kids, but it bugs me when my family harps on "When are you getting married and having kids?" and other BS like that. At my cousin's wedding, it was "You're going to be next." When I said no, it was like, "Oh, well, you'll find someone who'll sweep you off your feet, and you'll fall in love with him and get married."
Look, assholes, I've already found him. But until they make polygamy legal, I reckon I'm just fucked. But you can't say that, you know.![]()
*pout* actually, I'd really rather you don't have kids before me. Yes, I know its childish, but I was the firstborn ffs! not my fault its taking so long![]()
I just found out my friend is having another...her second. She was saying how hard it is at this age...she's only two months older than me. and me having one isnt even in sight yet!
Its horrible but I admit I felt kinda jealous when I heard her news. I mean I'm glad for her, but I think it made me really aware of my own situation and that I am no where near having one.
Infact I am maybe having to face up to the fact I may never have one. And I really want to be a mum.
*hugs*
Don't give up hope until it really is physically too late. Hell, John Travolta's wife just got pregnant again at 47. It's doable.
And I know the jealousy. My brother and his wife are expecting their second. It makes me wish I was in the right place in life. Emotionally, I'm ready. Even someone at work noticed the other day, when I was holding a co worker's baby, and called me 'a natural mother.'
There's nothing I want more, than to be a wife and mother. I get scared though, that it won't happen.
Well if practically every single person you encounter asks whether you're pregnant on a daily basis...
I would. Deadpan it enough with an open expression and follow it with some bit of family gossip... preferably related to their family unit.*snip*

*pokes around in the fridge and seriously considers putting in an order for Mao Goo Gai Pan with double the veggies.*
For some reason, this made me think of Mr Rosco.
