And they're usually followed by the "oh well, you're still young" or the "don't worry, my friend thought she was infertile and she has 3 kids now". Cuz that's what you need - 1st punch, ouch.

Although I'm fickle and have many faves. :)<BR/><BR/>My husband Tivo'ed Juno last week and when I told him I didn't want to see it, he promptly deleted it. The funny thing is that I was all ready to see it a few weeks ago - when pregnant of course.<BR/><BR/>Here is what kills me. I have a coworker that I love, and she gets out of all kinds of staying late, and meetings, and other stuff because she has kids and has to leave at a certain time. So I am LITERALLY being punished for not having children. And this has gone on for years.<BR/><BR/>And nobody would even think of that being totally unfair, unless they were dealing with infertility.Paula Kellerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11545620300368378897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4881629173943208551.post-37199755859697595912009-02-01T19:04:00.000-06:002009-02-01T19:04:00.000-06:00Amen to that!Amen to that!Ericahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10653747745881776897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4881629173943208551.post-46577540954941086862009-02-01T18:41:00.000-06:002009-02-01T18:41:00.000-06:00Well...y'know what?!
