TTC - To Say or Say Not?
While Trying to Conceive, have you found others (even people you barely know) asking prying questions or offering unsolicited advice? Do you think they mean well and just don't think, or are they being meddling and/or on the rude side? Do you respond, ignore it, brew over it all night...?

TTC: Support Will Turn to Pity

Posted by: pru42 on Wed Dec 30, 2009
I hate kids--seriously! I was the youngest child by a LOT and I have never even changed a diaper. Then I went and got married at 19...everyone assumed we were pregnant. We weren't. We just had our 10 year anniversary and no kids. Everyone, even my closest friends, are like, aren't trying? Don't you want kids? Is something wrong with you? And of course, about 2 years ago, we did start trying, and I adamantly refused to tell anyone except my best friend. And everyone just kept prying, kept nagging. The only thing they accomplished was to make me STOP wanting to have a baby! Of course, yesterday I just found out that I am pregnant...super conflicted about it! I am now scared to tell our families! Just the thought of them gushing over me, giving me advice turns my stomach. I am more than some 1950s baby machine!
