I couldn’t hold my tongue anymore

09 May 2013

I am constantly bothered by one of the women I work with about when I’m going to have kids. Every day its something different

“ Andrea there will never be a right time”

“ you better do it before you get to old”

“ You should just tell your husband you want to have babies”

“ don’t let your husband buy stuff like that you should be saving up for kids”

This was the latest and it was also the last straw

“ You know C and I were talking and we really want to throw you a baby shower”

And instead of my standard, I know we’ll have kids soon enough! Or it will happen when it’s supposed to…

I said, “oh I want to have kids, but I can’t.  I’ve been trying for a long long time now and it’s not going to happen anytime soon without very expensive medical interventions. Its just not something I really like to talk about.  If I get pregnant I’ll definitely tell you.”

To which she said, “oh” and tried to back pedal out of the conversation.

That is the way to shut someone up, because its none of your business when I have kids or if I ever have kids.
