I am very upset with my mother right now. DH and I have been ttc since just before we were married. It has been about 7 months. I was talking to my parents about it the other day and my mothers response was that some people are just not meant to be parents.

I have wanted to have kids for as long as I can remember. DH and I discussed having children on our 3rd date! While I know that it can be a long process at times I found her comments to be very hurtful. I don't know if I'm super-sensitive or not but I had to vent.

Thanks for listening.

Re: Vent

I don't think you are being super sensitive at all. I do think your Mom's comment was a brutal way of wording things.

Perhaps she too is frustrated knowing getting pregnant has not been a easy road for youChat Icon?????

Re: Vent

I completely understand where you are coming from... my mother would say the same type of things to DH and me. In my situation, I found that by telling her that what she was saying was hurting me - and not helping the relieve any of the stress that we were dealing with - and that all I really need from her right now is compassion and a shoulder to cry on or an ear to lend. Otherwise if she is unable to do such things for me, then to simply keep her comments to herself. It wasn't until then, did she really see/understand what she was saying really did hurt...

I hope you find a way to handle this so that you won't have to feel so hurt.
