Honestly,
I've had two family events this weekend and obviously cannot drink. I am not an alchie or anything BUT I do like a glass of wine....
Although I said I was on antibiotics both my brother and Aunt asked me if I was pregnant??
A friend sent an email inviting a few of us out for cocktails next Saturday and I replied saying I cannot come as I have a first Birthday party in the aternoon / evening (I do - my nephews!!). One friend replied back and said "refusing a drink - are you pregnant?"
I am so annoyed. It's like I am being outed and I feel really resentful...
Even my Mum sent me an email today and said at the end of it, at least you can have a few shandies next weekend as your tablets will be finished
So now I have another family get together to get through on Saturday and I'll be expected to drink...
I know this sounds really bad BUT it's not usual for me to be at a party and stick to soft drinks - I don't go mad or anything but I will normally have a drink, even if it was just a beer or two topped up with lemonade [you need to drink to get through my family gatherings ]
Immediate family know about my first m/c only and have been really sensitive about asking me any questions about TTC.... but they'll know something is up?
I know I should be grateful for my lovely big, boisterous family and the fact we are close and all get on. I should also be grateful for my lovely friends BUT at the moment I want them all to BACK OFF
(rant over!)
