Welcome to my pity party! You are welcome to join at any time.
Heres why I am throwing this party. I supervise a staff of about 29, 28 women and 1 men. In the past 1.5 yrs that I have been in the position, there has been: 1 birth, 1 almost to be born, 1 three months along, and a just announced today. This is plus the countless pregnancies of the families that we serve. I had never been bothered with it as much as today. When the girl told me about it my response was "congratulations" and her response was "well I guess thats what I get and cant undo it". That response was like a knife in my heart. I would do anything to be in that position and can only hope that one day it will be my turn.
And if that wasnt enough today I also had to deal with this:
(her child running around the halls wildly)
co-worker: "Are you sure you want kids?"
me: outwardly - nod and tight lip smile; inside - "well now that you mention it, no I dont really. I just choose to put myself through the physical, social and financial hell of fertility treatments for the chance of conceiving. I dont know why really since I dont even like kids" Arghhhh
So you can choose to join this party. Open invitation and after the party is over we will all pull up our pants, lifts our chins and face the world.

Can I just say that I am right there with you. I HATE when people say that to us "Are you SURE you want kids?" So yes, I'll join your pity party!
I hear you girl. I'll join. It sucks A$$
I'm RSVP'ing.
I hate it when people ask stupid questions like that. Yes, I am spending thousands of dollars and waving my vagina in my dr's face 3 times per week because I am just "guessing" I might enjoy being a mother.
Idiots.
Right up there with "I know this one girl who get pregnant as soon as she stopped trying so hard."
F' em all.
*hugs*
I'll bring brownies to your pity party! The stupidity never ends, I'm here to tell ya.
