was this rude? saw an acquataince (who is very pg) she asked me if we were planning on another. I said "we've been trying for a while, but no luck so far" and she said "well, your still young, ds is still young, its not like you need to be in a rush, e's plenty of time to have kids" I don't know why it bothered me. ok- this may be true, but when we had hoped we'd already have #2 by now, not still be tryingto get pg w/#2 and here she is with her pg with her third in four years. It kind of bothered me, i think b/c i feel like she doesn't understand or know what i'm going through. was i wrong to be so bothered?

[ Reply | Options ]-
she was a teeny bit intrusive, in a very common and kindly-meant way, when she asked about your plans.... but you opened the door wider when you fessed up to the fact that you've been trying with no luck... she then gave one of several appropriate responses when she tried to give encouragement. Would you have prefered an empathetic "that must be hard"? maybe.... but that would be even more intrusive/intimate than a chipper bit of encouragement, IMO.

When I ride in a taxi cab with my DC I:
- Use a carseat
- Buckle him/her in his/her own seat
- Hold him/her on my lap
- I'd never ride in a taxi with my DC, it's much too dangerous!
