Dear 'friends'..

[sarah1]

Grr! yes, its a rant. Just about people being inconsiderate without realising it really. One friend (knows what we are going though) who's pg moaning about having blood tests done and how she doesn't like them...I'd have a million if it meant I could have a baby! Another friend who I e-mail invited to a concert my hubby is doing saying well obviously we can't come cos the babies won't sit still and listen to a concert - as though I'm stupid enough to think they'd bring their babies just cos I don't have any so I couldn't understand! They also know what we are going through. I know they're not big things but just today of all days I could do without them. Hmmf. Done now. Sorry ladies xxxxxx

Sorry hun If they know, just tell them straight, they'll soon think on before being inconsiderate again:

"Yeah , blood tests aren't nice but it will be all worth it when you have your baby!"

"Ha ha, I know the babies won't listen - i just meant for you to come and get a baby sitter!"

Ahh Sarah, it's such a shame people speak without thinking, it really takes a sensitive person to actually think about how what they say - may actually sound. Rather than let this feeling build up, I'm not naturally a straight speeker, but I think you might need to do what Mrs PC has suggested XX

Hi Sarah, oh I feel your pain. What your friend said about the concert, that is so patronising and this type of comment annoys me so much! The one I hate is 'wait til you have kids, you'll know all about it then' when talking about just about anything. Like I'm walking about childless and therefore clueless about absolutely everything! Grrrr!

Sometimes I think saying something to folk like that would be pointless cos if they are insensitive enough to come out with that they might just think you're being over-sensitive by commenting on it. So might not be worth it.

Rant on here and get it off yer chest! xxx

I know how u feel. My friend at work is pregnant and keeps moaning about how sick she feels and she Is fed up with feeling sick.

I just told her straight "It's not nice being sick but your blessed to be pregnant!! So stop moaning!!"

What I would give to be in her position right now she can't even imagine."

I told her to suck it up as I don't wanna hear it!!

She apologized as she realized she was being insensitive.

Don't think people who click their fingers and it happens, really get how it feels to want something so badly. I would welcome morning sickness anyday if it meant I was gonna be a mummy!!! Boooo to the inconsiderate people out there. Xx
