This experience was so irritating, I just had to share it with people I knew would understand. Our church is putting together a pictorial directory and all of the families in the parish are supposed to have their pictures taken. DH and I went last night. I was in a really bad mood on the way because I had always envisioned our first family photo in the church directory to include more than just me and DH. Well we get there and the photographer asks us if we are married or engaged, we tell him married (duh our form said Mr. and Mrs), then he says any kids yet? Why in the world would we have a family photo taken and not bring our kids if we had them. So of course we answer no. Then he proceeds to talk about babies throughout the entire photography session. To get us to smile he says "Surprise your having a baby boy!" Then when he wanted a more peaceful reaction he told me to imagine I'm watching my babies fall asleep. I could not believe this guy and all his baby comments, I just wanted to scream at him! Needless to say the photographs turned out awful. I looked so annoyed in all of the pictures. And to top it all off the family that came in after us had a baby with them. It was horrible!

I think I would have kicked him in a bad place... What a jerk. Granted, he didn't know. Things like this upset me. I probably would have asked him for his business card and then told him I would pass it along to the other women in my infertility support group. Jackass.

Good one JudyLynS! I agree I probably wouldn't have handled it gracefully either. That was too much. Though I had a similar situation the other day when I got my hair cut. My stylist was gay and told a story of a friend saying "that's so gay" to him and how he said he wasn't offended but the guy thought he would have been. He was like Oh yea that'd be like me calling you "Breeder!" and he kept going with this "joke". I tried several times to interrupt him and say, well actually I'm not a breeder. I can't have babies (god we hope this isnt true but so far...) Ya know I just wanted to make people a little more aware before they open their mouths to say stuff...like the photographer did. But he kept talking over me and eventually I just let it go. But stuff like that does hurt and people need to think before they speak!!!

Some people have no filters. Stupid people like that, I'd love to call them out and "share" our troubles to make him feel bad on purpose. Sorry you had to go through that.
