It isn’t offensive at all and it makes perfect sense!Omg my love firstly thank you for sharing your story with us, it’s not one you often hear from the inside so it’s a privilege to hear it from the horse’s mouth (I hope that makes sense / isn’t offensive?). It’s so lovely to think of him sat in the room next to you now, god this post has actually made me teary eyed and feel incredibly grateful for a lot of things. Life is tough and so unfair, but you are clearly tougher and sound like an amazing woman & mum.
It does make you think about how his (and other parenting influencers) “oh god my kids it’s all sooOoOoO awful” schtick translates for the IVF community? Not sure if that’s what it’s called but I know they’re super active on insta (I started delving into it last year after getting unwell & thinking it was inevitable for us) - but it is tone deaf.
Sending lots of love to you & fam though ❤
I very rarely get angered by it all nowadays but I do have my moments (like today!) - at the unfairness of it all, the irony that these people can moan about things that I would have literally given a body part for, just for instagram likes is so maddening but I am also aware, day to day that it CAN be hard and it can be tiring sometimes but I can look back and remember what it was like not to be in such a lucky position.
I am involved in many different infertility groups both on and off line and there are couples coming to terms with never having their own biological child and it’s just soul destroying. That’s only way I can describe it. It leaves you bitter.
But I am lucky, I kiss and cuddle and laugh and play with my lucky charm every day and I am so grateful!
