Kept my cool...just

[Fingers crossed]

At work yesterday and the one woman I work with has just come back from maternity leave was talking with another woman who has a one year old. They were talking about having more kids, and, with the one who just came back after having a boy, was saying she wants a girl and that she was gutted when she found out she was having a boy. The other woman said that she's glad she had a girl, but would like a son, then joked that if she had another girl she'd put her up for adoption. At that point I had to walk away really angry before I ranted at them that there's lots of people would give their right arm for a child of any sex!! Looking back I wish I had said something but I'm not the type of person to argue.

Aww sweetie that must have been so hard for you

People you conceive with no problems tend to open their gobs before brain activates

It was prob just said tongue in cheek but i totally understand why you wanted to blow

Well done you for walking away

 

[gracie]

I'm sure that they didn't mean it but i know how you feel.

All we can do is hope that it will be us one day (hopefully) soon.

im sick of hearing/seeing people like that!

 

[Jaidy]

Yes thats so selfish. A healthy, happy baby is the main thing born to a loving family grrrrrrrrr some people

I would of snapped at them and told them to be thankful they have a baby.

 

[Ebony_Mommy]

yeah.. but she was joking tho (as the poster said).. its not that serious

 

[PyscoFalcon]

Still things like that shouldn't be said in jest

Maybe I'm just been too hormonal.

 

[Ebony_Mommy]

its like ppl jokingly saying.. if u do that 'ill kill you'

it means nothing... jus joking

jeez!

 

[Hypnorm]

they probaby didn t think, and will always takes thing like that for granted.

Really hope things get going for you soon

Ugh, how awful for you. Some people are totally tactless.

The positive thing about having problems TTC is that you know how totally and utterly precious a child is.
