I'm the youngest person in my Sunday school class and the only childless one. Most of the women are in their 40s or older. Recently one of the 40+ women announced that she's pregnant. Her husband kept going on about how unexpected and wonderful it was, and everyone was really excited, which is natural. I found this announcement particularly hard to deal with, partly b/c this woman had snubbed me before when she first joined the group. I went over to her and was chatting about their move to the area. In the course of the conversation she told me she had two kids, one of whom was 19, and I said I couldn't believe that since she looked so young. She then asked me how many kids I had, and I said, no kid yet. After that she had nothing to say to me and turned away.

I already feel that I don't fit in with this group b/c I'm not a parent. The juxtaposition of her situation and mine just makes it worse.

I'm sorry

I have had similar situations happen. I work with a few ladies who talk about their kids constantly, and it's like they are unable to interact with someone without sharing kid stories that usually involve poop, pee, or best feeding. I usually just feel sorry for them. I may not have kids, but at least I have a life and hobbies!

I don't know why I waited so long to hire a cleaning person.  She started today and my house squeaks it's so nice and clean!  Worth every penny!

Someday I will do this! If I didnt have my dogs, I'd barely have to clean compared to what I do now. They are lucky I love them so much.

I am jealous!

I resisted for the longest time.  Part of me feels ridiculous, our house isn't all that big - 1600 sq. ft. 3bd/2.5ba, but we work crazy hours and with the dog it was getting to be too much.

Rock on, HS!!

Today someone told me something she wants to do starts on August 26 and all I could think was, that would have been my due date if my 2nd chemical preg (from IUI #4) was viable.

I have a wake to go to tomorrow night and a funderal Sat AM and I may have childcare issues. arrgh

Congratulations HoneySpider! If there's any reason to celebrate a little too much, defending your dissertation is it.

That was my IVF due date. I hate that we are due date twins for such a crappy thing.

Thanks guys!!
