Why do people always feel the need to ask if you have children yet?  Or when you plan on having them?  It hurt when I was trying to get pregnant with no luck for a year, and it hurts even more now that I have lost my first baby.  My own mother-in-law and I had it out for this very reason.  Didn't speak for months because I called her on it.  She knew I was trying and would still comment on how I hadn't made her a grandmother yet.  Even on Mother's Day last year she said she wished she had a grandchild other than a cat.  Seriously?  What are these people thinking?  Even complete strangers keep asking if we are going to have kids.  Why does it matter to them?  Why does everyone assume I should be able to pop one out with no worries.  My one friend says, oh your so young (21), don't worry about it, it will happen.  But she has a kid she tried 2 months to conceive.  So she doesn't really know does she?  I swear people infuriate me.  Sorry, my rant is over for now.  Thanks for listening :'(

    Hey, I completely understand where you are coming from! I think people who always ask wanna gossip about someone in a sense. I think if you say oh we are trying, the tell the whole community, well that is what they do in our town! To me it is none of there business! I am sorry your mother-in-law is soooo insensitive towards you and trying for a child! When we lost our first baby, my mother-in-law said, were you even pregnant!!!!! WHAT A B***ch... so I feel for you! Hang in there, I wish I could make it stop all the nagging on if your are gonna have a kid or not. As for your age and being to young, I don't see that at all. I think you know when you are ready, age doesn't define pregnancy. I am sorry you have to deal with everyone and their points of view on the issue at hand! Hang in there, and if you need to chat, I am all ears!
