Yesterday I had a lady I know tell me I was looking really nice.
The next thing she said was, "Well it's because you haven't had kids yet."
Really lady?!?!
Just because you're a fuddy-duddy mom of 2 (children who are crazy and misbehaved), and you've given up tending to your appearance, does NOT mean that only people who haven't had children have the right to look stylish and nice! (In actuality, she is a very nice looking lady and usually very nice... it was just a stupid, ignorant comment).
Grr!!!
I'm having a "wanting a baby" kind of week. I look longingly at every babe that I pass by. I want a baby to cuddle. I want a baby to kiss. I've actually been cuddling my dog like crazy (don't think she likes it) just for some expression of my affection. I'm so sad about it. But again, I can't cry. I just want to have a big long cry, and I can't.
Ugh! I hate it when i just want a good cry and cannot!
ReplyDeleteYou'll show her when your a mom! You'll be the most stylish one around. :)
Urgh. Stupid people. I wonder what her reaction would have been if you'd said something along the lines of, "That's so kind of you to say. I've worried that the stress from years of infertility is starting to show on my face."
ReplyDeleteI know that feeling of needing to cry but not being able to. I hope the tears come for you. It does give some measure of relief.
*hugs*
