Nothing makes me want to cry more

I cannot fucking stand "You don't understand you don't have kids".

Take my fucking heart out and stomp on it why don't you.

As I sit here and fight back tears, this statement just gets me. I hear it and I physically hold my breath and my heart really skips a beat. I can't help it. It's totally involuntary. I just cannot handle hearing that statement. Nothing about TTC and not being pregnant yet hits me as hard as that does.

I know that the things I think about motherhood and having children will probably change when I do have kids. I get that. Things I thought I'd never do or say will come out of my mouth and from hands seemingly of their own volition. I get that.
But Do Not Tell me I don't understand because I don't have children. Like I haven't thought about being a mom and raising my kids every single day for the last 2 years (at a minimum). Just because there isn't a mini-me running around doesn't mean that I can't comprehend some facit (sp?) of what it will be like to raise my kids.


Especially when it all starts from spending $87 on a pair of freaking ugg boots. you have got to be kidding me! I have freaking common sense.

  2. I'm right there with you. I got that from my MIL of all people on our summer vacation, and it broke my heart. (On top of everything, I've been a step mom to her grandchild for almost six years, so it was insult to injury!)

    I'm so sorry someone said that to you. (((hugs)))
