Things That I'm Sick To Death of Hearing...

[DubaiSis]

When it comes to babies, people say the most horrible things. I think I was let off the hook about a lot of this because 1-I got married old and 2-my husband has MS and people assume it's hereditary (it's not). I love little kids but I really didn't want the responsibility and don't regret my decision. However, as I'm getting older, I'm wishing I had grand kids in my future.

I hear you on this one!!! I still have relatives who ask me when we're having kids when they know it's just not possible for me, and after I explain it again, tell me, "well you can always adopt!"

How is someone supposed to respond to that statement? No, I can't adopt because nobody in their right mind would give a kid to someone so sick. Not to mention that I'm TOO SICK to take care of a baby/child.

People don't realize how much this kind of conversation hurts. Sigh.
